@rachel, thanks rachel. she did receive a card from her grandson and i handed it to her. you should see the smile on her face.

Those are lovely roses. Glad you had a meaningful Valentine’s Day.

Such lovely roses, Belle! What a thoughtful gesture of giving some of them to someone else.

yeheey, finally, you made it through.

it doesn’t cost much to cheer these type of people because someday I may be in their shoes, too.

Oh, look at me – I feel so selfish, whining about my husband’s not giving me flowers, and then there’s that old woman there having no one to love her. And here I am surrounded by people I love and who love me, and yet, I complain.

You have a heart of gold, my dear…

thank you! hope yours was a good one, too.

i enjoyed reading your post re: Manong, and Andrew Buang.

hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s day with your loved one. take care!

hayaan mo, one of these days, a special someone will come to you so you have reason to celebrate Valentine’s day even in a simplest way.

when i used to live in HK, i noticed that Valentine’s day wasn’t really a big deal. but i enjoyed the chinese new year immensely; the celebration, the food, the red wallet with money inside, etc. i also learned to say “Kung Hei Fat choi,” meaning “Happy New Year.”

Thanks a lot! I am so blessed to have known you, too. You are a gem, a rare gem.
