Golden Supaheroes

Monday is GONE :) What a day.

Here's what my friends from the office emailed to me bright and early yesterday to kick-start my Monday. Thanks Sumeeeeee :) Hope it will help you get through the week as it has got me thru my Monday with just a few bruises :D

urmm.. i do not know who to credit these pictures to but credit goes to whomever that owns the pictures. No hard feelings ya :) We all just need a few more laughs in our lives.

We are all gonna get there one day. So... leave them sour faces at home, grin... smile, have the donuts and the cupcakes ++ the cheese cakes or whatever you wanna eat and just be happy. Life is indeed very short. So make it fun and fantabulous and enjoy the ride with just a few rants to get by.

The email ended with this...

"Life is short, break the rules, forgive sooner, love with true love, laugh without control and always keep smiling."

Goodnite people.

Callistemon

Callistemon or Bottlebrush
Bottlebrush is a small but spectacular evergreen tree or shrub. Of the family Myrtaceae it is well known as Callistemon or Bottlebrush Tree. It is easy to grow and loves warmth, moisture and sun. Bottlebrush is native to Australia mostly growing in moist soil in open or woodland sites. (info from http://floridagardener.com/)

This particular shrub/tree was planted by mom and dad few years back. They will usually buy a pair of every plant they have. When we bought it, it was about 2 feet tall or less.

Mom had a kinda faraway look at that time... and told us... i wonder if i'll get to see this plant grow big and huge. But the time it grows, i'll most probably be gone. Then we assured her that it will grow fast. Just for her, it will grow very fast.

When i came back into the house, i show mom this comic from Peanuts.

I asked her the same question too. Why? Where are you going? Then we both had a good laugh over this comic.

The bottlebrush did grow fast.. and huge. It was planted beside the drains. The drain water kind of speed the growth. It is indeed a spectacular shrub. I can't really call it a shrub because its huge.

She loved it. Her bottlebrush provided lots of shade. And it brings a variety of birds and bees and lots of butterflies. Our garden is like a mini aviary. In the afternoons, sometimes we have quite an orchestra from the birds. Big and small and tiny and minute. They just play on cue. hehhehehehee

Mom's bottlebrushes still provide a lot of shade. And its beautiful. No maintenance at all and it even dances in the wind. It brings many butterflies. It reminds me of my beautiful mom too.

Here's our bottlebrush.



This bottlebrush does look like the bottle brush we use to clean babies feeding bottles right? :)

Noah's Ark

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark

One: Don't miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

Pass this along and make someone else smile ;)

but...

The woodpecker might have to go! ;p

Thanks Jac for the email!
