HAPPY NEW YEAR

01 Sunday Jan 2017

The miracles, the dedication, and the bountiful blessing of Holy Spirit and the Divinity with no end comes. Thanking God with words is not even enough. God delivers everything that I ask. With my totality, I thank Him. Being on earth for nearly fifty-eight years and healthy is marvellous. My travel in this universe is a splendid one.

2016 has been an excellent year for me. But, it has given me a different aspect of what life is all about – the time to contemplate as I get older happened. My family has always been my priority, their happiness, and well-being. Hang on! Have I think about myself? Have I mainly set plenteous rhythm to myself? Or that cosmos is just merely a form of greediness with cantering voices on my brain? When I was young, I deemed that manner; that ruminating of myself was egotistical. It is not true at all. I cannot forget when my primary teacher in grade five asked the class who was the most important person in life. Each of us answered the same; the parents. Then, my dear ma’am as we called her took a mirror. She stared at herself in the mirror and said, “The person I am looking at is the most important. To be able to love and give it to others; you need to be worthy of yourself.”

One cannot deny that you love because you want it reciprocally. What is the point of giving so much when you don’t get anything in return? I used to think that it is better to give love than to receive. It does not mean materiality. Come to think of it? At this juncture of my existence; yes, I have loved myself that’s why I have given that passion to my family, extended clans, and friends.

Time is essential whether you are young or for a person getting old like me. The many peoples I’ve met whom I did not even know; the places I have been – downright outstanding. In their way, they had given me their time and care. And I am wholly grateful for that. Beneath the grand façade of the beautiful clothes and bling in my life, there is no better way to give love than to spend time with the people dear to me. Being sluggish eating pizza on a rainy day with my family or maybe just walking along the beach laughing. These things are the most enjoyable moments. Seeing my children graduated from the university and have great life – my ultimate aim which I am sure is the same with other parents.

2017 is a new beginning. All the jazz you do and where on earth you are, be optimistic. As the rising sun comes in the Northern Hemisphere, it forty winks on the other periphery. Like any other circumstances, they come and go. Happiness is always in your hands. Take your problems as challenges. Many times, these goals make us shine. Living in a competitive world is tiring, not only in mind but your soul, many people step on each other. But, this must not be the case. Patience and humbleness are the ingredients; they are the nobility of the soul. Those traits will bring anyone yonder ahead of the horizon. Sometimes, things do not happen as we want to – different bearings they come. When it occurs, take it as a better path and not the gloomy one. The road to success may be long, but hardships are part of it. Then, contemplate if the difficulties are worth. It could also be the sign to choose a different avenue. For life must be dealt with enjoyment – just savour the ride. Episodes come even if we don’t want it; they are the spices that make you think and assess. They make you use your talent – digest them as inspirations and not a downfall.

HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, my wish to you, dearest family and friends. GOD grant us the most fantastic flight; look forward and promenade to the path you are heading. May God grant us PEACE in the world.

ENJOY THE RIDE OF 2017!

Joyeux Noël

25 Sunday Dec 2016

Oh! My favourite moment of the year is here again. It is the time to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. This Christmas season, I have been travelling Europe. I arrived in London the second week of October, stayed for few days and headed to Paris to be with my daughter and her family. I was already on the way to Paris to be with her before she was to give birth. But, my beautiful child went to an early labour whilst I was on the way.

To meet my extension was an overwhelming experience; the newly addition to my family, the birth of my first grandchild. After two weeks in Paris bonding with my granddaughter, I headed to Brussels to collect materials for my writing, then Berlin, Prague, and Vienna. The Christmas decoration in those beautiful cities was already taking place.

Vienna was the first city that Christmas decorations were already in full bloom, although it was only November. Two days before I left Vienna, the Christmas market opened. I was able to to have a glimpse. The illuminations of the lights of which brought me the spirit of the Yuletide season was overwhelming. Many people were going up and down buying Christmas presents and different sorts of the Viennese food. The freezing weather did not stop the populace to have a look at the newly stalled Christmas market. It was a spectacular scene to see that the natal day of the Saviour and the Redeemer celebrated in many parts of the world.

After Vienna, I went back to Paris where I intend to spend the Christmas with my daughter and her family who chose to live in this famous city. Paris is where her heart belongs. My gorgeous granddaughter will utterly grace the affair. Bonding with family members is downright essential not only for the reason that we live miles apart. The family is an institution of which is the foundation of the society. Christmas is not the same without your loved ones. As I have to do more travelling, I brought my daughter and my granddaughter to the South of France. After a week or so, they went back to Paris, and I continued my journey to Barcelona and made my way through to Madrid. Spain – the place where my ancestors came from already filled with Christmas spirit. The illuminations of the four cities I visited, Barcelona, Valencia, Toledo, and Madrid were well and truly alive preparing for the birthday of Jesus Christ. I went back to Paris a week before Christmas to prepare for the festive season.

It is Christmas day! I am in Paris with my family. What a great day to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas, world. Last night, I attended the Children’s Christmas Mass. My prayers, may love, joy and peace be on earth. Enjoy your day! I will definitely will have an awesome day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS CHRIST!
