A Purple Star

My daughter gave me gifts when she was a child. Sometimes, she presents me a drawing, an original poem, a letter, a bouquet of flowers she picked on our afternoon walks to Dogwood Park in Rockville, or her toy jewelry.

I kept them all, except for the fresh flowers. While I dried some, but was not able to dry them all.

I still wear the jewelry she gave me on parties, and just whenever I feel like it. I kept them in a jewelry box. I even wore them while videotaping for my vlogs.

The iridescent glittered purple star plastic silver ring was one of them, and I wore it to hang out with friends at a brewery in Virginia about 2 weeks ago.

It's so pretty, isn't it?

Christmas Isn't Over

It was snowing most of the day yesterday, so the boy and I just stayed indoors all day. I didn't even attempt to get the mail from our mailbox which is located at the end of our driveway since it was so cold. But I sent a message to the mister and asked him to check it. When he got home, he handed me a bubble mailer. I was surprised since I wasn't expecting a mail from anyone. And then I saw who it was from.

Oh my gosh! It's a copy of Philippine Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago's Stupid Is Forever that Cecile Van Straten aka Chuvaness gifted me. I didn't expect to get a copy this soon.



The last time I heard, this was sold out, and in some parts of the Philippines, it isn't available yet. Thanks Cecile for the gift. You're the best! Thank you too to her friend, Grace of Divasoria for mailing the book from San Francisco.
