UK Adventure Days 7 to 9: Back in London

06.24.2020 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Hello all! I hope everyone's safe and well in this pandemic time. I finally found the time and motivation to finish my UK travel diary. How time flies so quickly! Just last year we were busy touring London and Scotland, and then 9 months later this beautiful country, along with all others, closed their borders and put all stops at tourism - for people to just stay home ...

Beatles Fan Alert!

04.04.2015 by Leah // 1 Comment

Don't miss out on these limited edition Hallmark cards that feature the famous lyrics of Lennon-McCartney, the song-writing duo behind the biggest band in the world: The Beatles. I found them by chance at National Bookstore (SM Mall of Asia branch) 2 weeks ago while looking for a birthday card.  There are 6 designs available (at least at this National Bookstore branch), ...

John Lennon @ 72

10.09.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I've always found it cool to have had a lola (grandma) who shared her birth date with John Lennon, my favorite among the Beatles.   My mom would always kid me for forgetting to greet my lola on her birthday, and yet I never fail to forget that it's John Lennon's birthday hehe.   Weird, huh? I'm glad that I wasn't born in the 60's or I would end up stalking the Beatles too, ... READ MORE

Definitely Maybe

09.01.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

August 30 marked the 18th anniversary of the release of Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe.   This album catapulted the band into its Beatles-like status, and went to sell over 8 million copies worldwide.    NME named it as the "greatest album of all time". I learned about Oasis and its first but already critically acclaimed album when I saw the music video of "Live ... READ MORE

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
