Especially the mosquitoes. We sure get plenty of them all year round. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;So I was pleasantly surprised when a friend got me this gadget. It's an insect trap. And it really works!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SW2TUmPQOgI/AAAAAAAAA60/yu7E_UvwU4M/s1600-h/kmcnpwkj.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 130px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291047119301392898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SW2TUmPQOgI/AAAAAAAAA60/yu7E_UvwU4M/s200/kmcnpwkj.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;As much as I appreciate this gadget, it's the thoughtfulness of the friend that I appreciate the most.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;It's the thoughts that count the most. Very true indeed! That's a lot to be thankful for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SKzr15C5WqI/AAAAAAAAAD8/z35aBj9k5UI/s1600-h/mosquitos.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236819777803606690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SKzr15C5WqI/AAAAAAAAAD8/z35aBj9k5UI/s200/mosquitos.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm thankful for the insect trap too. With the gadget around : &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I get less sprayed on with the neem and citronella repellant LS uses on me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I get less shrieked at for trying to rub it off on LS, the furniture, the rugs and umm...the walls too. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I &lt;em&gt;really, really&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;dislike&lt;/em&gt; the repellant smell. It doesn't matter that LS said it's for my own good. I just want to be a &lt;em&gt;fragrance free dog&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Do you have this problem with your humans?

I used to be a fussy eater. Thankfully, that has changed. Or rather, I'm still improvising LOL! I have to admit that at times I am still fussy...but I'm getting there. So when I received this email about hunger and hope, I am reminded once again of not taking provision for granted. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I have a confession to make too. I'm a fussy eater &lt;em&gt;(just like LS hee&lt;/em&gt;...). At times I do kick up a fuss over my kibbles, wanting to eat LS' food instead. I know I should be thankful for having food and shelter when many of our friends are hungry and homeless. But LS said it's no fault of mine. She made the mistake of giving in to me all those times but now she's more resolved on being more firm with me. I'm thankful she knows better. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh wait, does that mean from now onwards I have to beg harder for human food?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does anyone of you have &lt;em&gt;eating issues&lt;/em&gt; like me? Or do you just eat anything that's edible? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://womentakingastand.blogspot.com/"&gt;Host of Thankful Thursday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-581862706972814255?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/dAOQ8beqWT8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/581862706972814255/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=581862706972814255" title="46 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/581862706972814255?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/581862706972814255?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/dAOQ8beqWT8/culture-unplugged-video.html" title="Hunger and Hope" /><author><name>Serendipity n Happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955801456953335917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08646018592966056027" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SffIUmS-qzI/AAAAAAAABAo/ABwLSxH3XHQ/s72-c/f0976f4a6cb874a522f13e685efcc614.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">46</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2009/04/culture-unplugged-video.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUEERnk5fip7ImA9WxJTFk8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-6763430249852617626</id><published>2009-04-24T11:55:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-25T10:46:47.726+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-04-25T10:46:47.726+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Happy Tales" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dog Ezine" /><title>Friday Funnies</title><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;TGIF!

Just to do a little shopping. I don't fancy weekend shopping and the crowd. It's nice to shop on weekdays when there's no crowd. Imagine having a whole row of fitting rooms to yourself instead of a whole line of people in front of you.&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;The same goes for checkout counters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SdG6YKQY5NI/AAAAAAAAA1o/I51T9oqC91I/s1600-h/Hot-Cross-Buns.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 181px; HEIGHT: 170px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319237559133988050" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SdG6YKQY5NI/AAAAAAAAA1o/I51T9oqC91I/s200/Hot-Cross-Buns.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thankful for the hot cross bun (minus the raisins). &lt;em&gt;Yummy!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;* LS : Cough cough... *&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oops hee...&lt;/em&gt;I'm just a small dog. But LS always tell me that I am to be thankful for being God's loving creation. Perhaps some humans may not see us that way, but we are here for a purpose too. Often times we hear of the cruelty that has been shown to us in our animal kingdom, to the extent of near extinction in some cases. But all is not lost and without hope. We are seeing that in the hearts and actions of those who has done all they can to care and protect us. They love us the way God intends them to. I'm thankful for this. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you thankful for? Hope everyone is having a thankful time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you &lt;a href="http://womentakingastand.blogspot.com/"&gt;Laurie&lt;/a&gt; for hosting Thankful Thursday. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you &lt;a href="http://dogsonthursday.blogspot.com/"&gt;Nicole&lt;/a&gt; for hosting Dogs on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-2109260750222001676?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/uzgl1KwD2Q4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/2109260750222001676/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=2109260750222001676" title="34 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/2109260750222001676?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/2109260750222001676?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/uzgl1KwD2Q4/thankful-thursday_09.html" title="Thankful Thursday" /><author><name>Serendipity n Happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955801456953335917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08646018592966056027" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/Sdm30qRUtPI/AAAAAAAAA_I/1ghHvI7zKxM/s72-c/securedownload.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">34</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2009/04/thankful-thursday_09.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CkMFRX0_cCp7ImA9WxVaEEQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-4040838740095787434</id><published>2009-04-07T15:45:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T15:46:54.348+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-04-07T15:46:54.348+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Happy Tales" /><title>Take a Bow...</title><content type="html">&lt;div align="center"&gt;That's quite final, isn't it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/Sdr_28mpfKI/AAAAAAAAA_g/Gau_3IPw_GY/s1600-h/TB2a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 285px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321847229137910946" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/Sdr_28mpfKI/AAAAAAAAA_g/Gau_3IPw_GY/s320/TB2a.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;To think that this tree used to sway merrily outside our kitchen window&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SdsBGRPz34I/AAAAAAAAA_w/mGplSQ-wOBg/s1600-h/TB1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321848591888932738" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SdsBGRPz34I/AAAAAAAAA_w/mGplSQ-wOBg/s320/TB1a.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The gardener will be coming by to cut off the top.

March has been a crazy period! Talk about putting a new meaning to '&lt;em&gt;mad as a March hare' &lt;/em&gt;with all the mad dashing and hopping around!&lt;em&gt;  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When&lt;/em&gt; the lawyer said &lt;em&gt;"It is done"&lt;/em&gt; at the end of my parents' legal case.  My parents were in a road accident 5 years back when a pickup truck rammed into them. My mom fractured an arm while dad broke a leg. The road to recovery has been long and slow. The fractures took several months to mend but the emotional and psychological effects triggered off series of bouts to mom's diabetes and dad's weak heart. Although mom still struggles with her illness and dad walks with a slight limp, I'm very thankful they are still here with me today. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm also relieved that the court case has been done with and the truck company has made the compensation.  This really helps with the medical bills. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When&lt;/em&gt; God said "It is done" upon making a way for finding hope and salvation when all seems lost. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm thankful when LS said &lt;em&gt;"It is done"&lt;/em&gt; after updating the blog and started catching up with everyone.

That means the weekend is hours away! I think LS is glad too for the weekend. Something about working too hard.  But I think it's just her post holiday blues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It has been a while since we last joined in &lt;a href="http://skyley.blogspot.com/"&gt;Skywatch Friday&lt;/a&gt;. While LS was sorting through her files the other day, she came across some pictures she took some time back. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;These pictures were taken on an early morning from two different sides. It's amazing that one same sky shows different beautiful sights.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This picture shows the reflection of the sunrise from the opposite side&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SLZWFN9e56I/AAAAAAAAAiM/9-ekXF1HFDI/s1600-h/Dawn+20070824-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239469864139024290" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SLZWFN9e56I/AAAAAAAAAiM/9-ekXF1HFDI/s400/Dawn+20070824-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This picture was taken just few feet away from the first picture. Can you see how the sky parts in the center? Or rather, it was the clouds parting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SLZV80f943I/AAAAAAAAAiE/tzWcFrd7BtM/s1600-h/Dawn+20070824-4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239469719865385842" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SLZV80f943I/AAAAAAAAAiE/tzWcFrd7BtM/s400/Dawn+20070824-4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LS said she loves the second picture. Hope you are not bored by her raving and ranting over these pictures. She tends to get carried away at times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To think that if I didn't wake her up early, she would've missed it. Well, don't you think she has me to thank for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you enjoy skywatching, do hop over to check out more lovely pictures at &lt;a href="http://skyley.blogspot.com/"&gt;Skywatch Friday&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good weekend everyone!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-877667255050385634?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/Fkrkki2Z4jE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/877667255050385634/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=877667255050385634" title="57 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/877667255050385634?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/877667255050385634?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/Fkrkki2Z4jE/skywatch-joy-comes-in-morning.html" title="Skywatch - Joy Comes in the Morning" /><author><name>happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15237171231101045363</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13288185137228402412" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SLZWFN9e56I/AAAAAAAAAiM/9-ekXF1HFDI/s72-c/Dawn+20070824-1.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">57</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2009/02/skywatch-joy-comes-in-morning.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUQFSHk8cCp7ImA9WxVWEUw.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-7320802938406956610</id><published>2009-02-20T15:00:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-20T15:01:59.778+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-20T15:01:59.778+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Happy Tales" /><title>Land of Dullsville</title><content type="html">&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It's been really dull around here lately. LS is busy with taxes. Luckily we dogs don't have to bother with taxes, do we? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Do you remember a while back I asked this doggie to bark like a man instead of whining at his mommy? He didn't quite take my suggestion and asked me to shut up instead, remember? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, he moved out recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I guess I missed him. Now there's no doggie to &lt;em&gt;bark at, I mean, chat with&lt;/em&gt; around my block.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LS said I shouldn't have teased him so much while he was around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm sorry already, little doggie...Can you come back?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;This is me, looking really sorry... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SZ4_BXI6W5I/AAAAAAAAA9U/uRSD2cELrLk/s1600-h/p3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304746703712836498" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 324px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SZ4_BXI6W5I/AAAAAAAAA9U/uRSD2cELrLk/s400/p3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Would you be convinced by this sorry look?&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, me neither.

LOL! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above all, I'm thankful for God's everlasting love. I am thankful that He sent Happy into my life to teach me about love. At a time when He knew that I would not take any lessons from the humans. Yes, it was that bad. LOL! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm thankful for the love and friendship shared by many in their unassuming ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I am thankful too for the love and frienship shared by many of you in your unassuming ways. When I've started blogging, I found it really hard and I felt that I didn't belong. Believe me, at times I still feel out of place and different...somehow. But the friendship, kindness and love shown by many of you have made a world of difference. Along the way I discovered that amidst all the differences among us, we share a common bond called love.

In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to us, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? And, remember that kindness don't have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;*We won't impose on the first 3 to comment since you may have already played it, &lt;em&gt;but on the first 3 who would like to play along&lt;/em&gt;. But if you have played it before but would still like to play, that would be really great! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update : We'll be sending out a gift to Denise, Moco and Sparky soon.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-1007444225655371345?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/SGNJXly8KGo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/1007444225655371345/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=1007444225655371345" title="26 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/1007444225655371345?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/1007444225655371345?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/SGNJXly8KGo/pay-it-forward.html" title="Pay It Forward" /><author><name>happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15237171231101045363</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13288185137228402412" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SZDmInLVWsI/AAAAAAAAA8M/NfkaBj3i_vo/s72-c/H3.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">26</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2009/02/pay-it-forward.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUUHRXg5fCp7ImA9WxVQF04.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-1800854973570710333</id><published>2009-02-04T16:46:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-04T16:47:14.624+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-02-04T16:47:14.624+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Happy Tales" /><title>L is for Lazy LS</title><content type="html">&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sorry we have not been around much lately. Thanks to LS (again). She was supposed to take just a couple of days off but ended up with a 10 days break. During this time, she has morphed into a sloth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recently the chinese here celebrated the Chinese New Year. Firecrackers and fireworks are pretty much synonyms with this celebration. Over here, fire crackers are supposedly to be banned though. &lt;em&gt;Who were they kidding? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Look at me...&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SYfu06ZdUyI/AAAAAAAAA7k/jtNB5vMzRok/s1600-h/Image021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298466079421322018" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SYfu06ZdUyI/AAAAAAAAA7k/jtNB5vMzRok/s320/Image021.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This is where I've been spending most of the nights during the celebration. All the explosion sound from the firecrackers were just too much for me. I've never been so glad when it's over. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Do you know if there's any doggie ear plugs for sale? LS said she hasn't seen one but I thought I'd better double check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On another note, we've recently joined in the fun of Pay It Forward by Huskee and Hershey. I've just received a parcel from them.  Thanks Huskee &amp;amp; Hershey!  I can't wait to open it but LS said I have to wait till she recharges her camera battery.  How long can that take?  With LS, that can really be a long time.  Sorry, Huskee &amp;amp; Hershey.  I'll do my best to morph her out of her sloth state soon.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-1800854973570710333?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/atEuNCf8TNg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/1800854973570710333/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=1800854973570710333" title="35 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/1800854973570710333?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/1800854973570710333?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/atEuNCf8TNg/l-is-for-lazy-ls.html" title="L is for Lazy LS" /><author><name>happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15237171231101045363</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13288185137228402412" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SYfu06ZdUyI/AAAAAAAAA7k/jtNB5vMzRok/s72-c/Image021.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">35</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2009/02/l-is-for-lazy-ls.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUIBRnw4fCp7ImA9WxVRFUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-7595187920282149196</id><published>2009-01-22T12:12:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T12:12:37.234+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-01-22T12:12:37.234+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Thankful Thursday" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Happy Tales" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dogs on Thursday" /><title>Thankful Thursday</title><content type="html">&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SXfdhsLG1aI/AAAAAAAAAvc/rSqCNOa9rjE/s1600-h/TTButton.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293943457860474274" style="WIDTH: 130px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SXfdhsLG1aI/AAAAAAAAAvc/rSqCNOa9rjE/s200/TTButton.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them" &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Psalm 34:7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Yesterday while I was at a junction, a SUV whizzed past me at a neck-breaking speed only to have the driver slamming on his brakes really hard a short distance later at the traffic light. Thankfully no accident happened. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Often times, scenes like this reminds me of how thankful I am to be alive today. Some time back while I was driving on a dark night in the pouring rain, I almost didn't make it home. I remembered waiting at a traffic light at a t-junction with the rain hitting so hard that I could barely see through the windscreen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I usually drive off a few seconds after the light turned green. But not at that time. Somehow my foot didn't budge at all in that few seconds. Just then as I was about to drive across, a car sped past from my right. The car skidded and crashed into a divider. It could have been me instead of the divider. Thankfully the driver escaped unhurt although his car was badly damaged. Thankfully an angel was there that night. I was and still am thankful for that split second. I am thankful for God's protection and His angels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Yesterday, the same SUV driver had a dog hanging half out of the passenger window. You could tell how fast the driver was going from the way the shih tzu's hair was whipped back in one direction. Thankfully he was hanging on by his straining leash. Thankfully LS managed to stop next to him at the traffic light and told the driver that it was dangerous to have his dog half hanging out of his car &lt;em&gt;(no matter how cool it looked, I would've added).  &lt;/em&gt;Thankfully the driver accepted it graciously.  Otherwise it would have been a different post today heh...just kidding!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I am thankful to have a carrier to travel in &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SXft9e-ppKI/AAAAAAAAAvk/r8pUx_ZO0uM/s1600-h/100_0349.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293961527540950178" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SXft9e-ppKI/AAAAAAAAAvk/r8pUx_ZO0uM/s200/100_0349.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you thankful for?

I was being lectured heh...I always look like this when being lectured at. In this case, for barking at a group of little kids outside. Couldn't help it, they were very noisy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Last weekend I went to visit LadyY. I love going to her house as there's a big garden to play in. Mostly, I love the yummy snacks UncleT gives me. LS said UncleT is as old as time and his memory is not so good. That explains his constantly giving me snack after snack, forgetting that he has given me earlier. That's what I like about him hee...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I like him so much that I even followed him to the bathroom and got locked in with him. He didn't realise I was in with him till a while into his &lt;em&gt;'business'&lt;/em&gt; *cough cough* I know...&lt;em&gt;eeww&lt;/em&gt;...I wouldn't have followed him in if I knew in the first place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I came out a while later, feeling rather sorry for myself. Really. But not as sorry as LS. I smelled of thick cigarette smoke. It seems that UncleT loves to smoke when he's in his private toilet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;LS had to wind down her car window when we were driving home, trying to air me out. I had to be shampooed three times before I smell like my old self. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Good thing LS didn't think of taking a picture for the album. I looked so fuzzy and puffy after the bath. I guess you would be too if you have to go through three washings, wouldn't you? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SXVkqJJQEbI/AAAAAAAAA7E/ci1kyZxhOnI/s1600-h/shadow.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293247612215890354" style="WIDTH: 197px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SXVkqJJQEbI/AAAAAAAAA7E/ci1kyZxhOnI/s200/shadow.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lesson to be learned : Never follow humans into the bathroom. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;On another note, we received this lovely award from Abby.

In other words, blogs that receive this award "are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would like to pass this on to &lt;a href="http://johnspawz.blogspot.com/"&gt;Bobby&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://fenwayspark.blogspot.com/"&gt;Fenway&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://mangothemaltesekiddo.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mango&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://iampeanutdog.blogspot.com/"&gt;Peanut&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://rambothechihuahua.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rambo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://agenuineruby.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ruby&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://muttallica.blogspot.com/"&gt;Roscoe, Sophie &amp;amp; Louis&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.pacoemilo.blogspot.com/"&gt;Paco &amp;amp; Milo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-6095135112975582185?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/_lPWwvdP1oM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/6095135112975582185/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=6095135112975582185" title="27 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/6095135112975582185?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/6095135112975582185?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/_lPWwvdP1oM/smoked-in.html" title="Smoked In" /><author><name>happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15237171231101045363</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13288185137228402412" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SXVkqJJQEbI/AAAAAAAAA7E/ci1kyZxhOnI/s72-c/shadow.bmp" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">27</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2009/01/smoked-in.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkIMSHg6fyp7ImA9WxVSF0k.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-8876920004194189835</id><published>2009-01-12T15:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-12T16:23:09.617+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-01-12T16:23:09.617+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Happy Tales" /><title>Just Another Mindless Monday</title><content type="html">&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Do you find that Mondays arrive too quickly whereas weekends just breeze past in a blink of an eye?

Did you all have a good celebration? Did you all make any new year resolutions?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sorry we haven't been around lately. LS decided to take a break at the eleventh hour after she was done with her mad year end rush. I didn't know that her break meant a break from the computer too. But that's ok, at least she spent most of her holidays with me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;This is where I've been hiding, &lt;em&gt;err I mean&lt;/em&gt;, sleeping, for the past few nights. Behind the table in the study. That was the most quiet place I could find in the house. The noisy fireworks outside was driving me nuts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;LS had trouble finding me the first night though. She kept calling me but I didn't answer.

I spent mine helping LS around the house. I went under the couch to scratch, I mean, scrub the floor, furiously. Then I moved on to under the coffee table. Oh boy, she sure missed all the important spots. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;When I jumped onto the sofa and attempted to remove all the lint and make it smell as nice as possible, &lt;em&gt;by the only way we dogs know how to&lt;/em&gt;, she shrieked &lt;em&gt;"Not on my new covers!!!"&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;If she's going to be &lt;em&gt;so picky&lt;/em&gt; at the way I clean...I might as well take a snooze on the chair. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A while later, she stopped by my chair and said "Gee Happy, you could've make yourself a little bit more useful around here, couldn't you?" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's true humans get more cranky at this time of the year, isn't it?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;On another note, we would like to thank everyone for the lovely cards! We've put them in an album on the left side of our blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;We're almost done with all our cards. We've sent out to all on the DWB list, except for a few which we did not have the email address. Some of our emails bounced back though. Perhaps there's a possibility they ended up in some of your junk mail. So if you did not receive from us, here's one for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Wishing Everyone A Merry Christmas &amp;amp; Happy Holidays!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SVBKXLpZNMI/AAAAAAAAA58/NT9Oum2ZscI/s1600-h/HappyChristmas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282804125029446850" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 346px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SVBKXLpZNMI/AAAAAAAAA58/NT9Oum2ZscI/s400/HappyChristmas.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4248362764535312875-1213249191256743088?l=serendipitypark.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~4/PnPriFElHvw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/feeds/1213249191256743088/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4248362764535312875&amp;postID=1213249191256743088" title="47 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/1213249191256743088?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4248362764535312875/posts/default/1213249191256743088?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SerendipityPark/~3/PnPriFElHvw/have-yourself-merry-little-christmas.html" title="Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas..." /><author><name>happy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15237171231101045363</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="13288185137228402412" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iFl3MdPAWWQ/SVBKXLpZNMI/AAAAAAAAA58/NT9Oum2ZscI/s72-c/HappyChristmas.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">47</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://serendipitypark.blogspot.com/2008/12/have-yourself-merry-little-christmas.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0ACSHs9fip7ImA9WxRaFUo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248362764535312875.post-8166121932010685695</id><published>2008-12-18T13:55:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T13:56:09.566+08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-12-18T13:56:09.566+08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Thankful Thursday" /><title>Thankful Thursday</title><content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;LS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm thankful for a breather yesterday. Although a short one, it's really refreshing.  At times that's all we need, isn't it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Remember the cat and the kittens? They reappeared again at a nearby exit staircase. In a box this time. I'm not really a cat person but I must admit I was glad and relieved to see them. They have been at the back of my mind ever since they disappeared. I'm thankful to know they are fine.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The mother cat has been getting lots of cat food from neighbouring office mates. It's a funny sight to see bowls and containers of food and water at the entrance of some offices. But at the same time, it's certainly a warm sight, knowing that there are people who care. I'm thankful for that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The kittens are growing really fast.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SUmy0zLu1eI/AAAAAAAAAl4/KX6ABgqHEHo/s1600-h/Image012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280948658230973922" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SUmy0zLu1eI/AAAAAAAAAl4/KX6ABgqHEHo/s320/Image012.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aren't they adorable?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SUmyvT-Jg0I/AAAAAAAAAlw/5j3v_Bl3KvU/s1600-h/Image014.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280948563953156930" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 258px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z-oHlKu1sQc/SUmyvT-Jg0I/AAAAAAAAAlw/5j3v_Bl3KvU/s320/Image014.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Happy:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm thankful for &lt;em&gt;thoughtful friends&lt;/em&gt; who have been sending us &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/serendipitypark/DWBChristmasExchange2008?authkey=3zOozZtIfwk#"&gt;lovely cards&lt;/a&gt;.
