And well i have had my early Christmas gift treat from godfather. I get to choose the art materials i need back home.. it was a wonderful treat! :) Can't wait to start painting my Dutch adventures.

P.S. I love you

you've got mail here in Holland

It was another day of adventure here in the land of windmills, Tulips & cheese. And to my wonderful surprise after coming home with godfather from The Hauge center at one of the art academy, good Dutch lunch at a historical cafe building, museum of art collections and to end that for the day awaits for me...


A letter..which took me a big surprise. It is from such a great Dutch artist Madam Letty Muntijewerf. A friend of my godfather whom we visited last week at her home and was able to see all his amazing works.

She was a strong yet full of grace & simply elegance as a woman artist. I was totally honored meeting here and see all her masterpieces. It was a totally great experience i surely will always be grateful for in my adventure here in Holland. :)

u just have to swim with grace




a gift from one of my boys in the team.


It's been a long time since we get back into adding a new family member @ home like this.
My late Papa loves fishes, way back then we used to have a small aquarium filled
with small lovely fishes. 

I always remember Pap telling me then.."look at those fishes as they swim.
They will remind you that you are free in the big ocean we called life 
& you have to swim with gracefulness as whatever the current brings you to"...
love you Pap.. :)


P.S. I love you
