Birthdays (clues: A.D./sonnets/5!!) and Christmas in September

Blog Posted by Kabuteng P.Ink K.: 9/5/2016 1:25:00 PM

I just realized today that I know 5 people celebrating their birthdays on September 5! One of them is a very special Souper who is close to my heart , one who's always been for me (bears with all my quirks) and who's been one of my oldest friends from Soup and is one very talented and amazing lady...one who is such a positive light to so many others.

I truly admire her optimism in life. Her sunny disposition in life is an inspiration, for me she definitely exudes those rays (*wink *wink, sweetie)...maybe all that sunlight that she absorbs just beams out of her or something.... I am so blessed to call her my friend.

Sorry since I am so swamped & getting so neurotic, I have nothing up my sleeve, can only eke out this blog for now (sorry), but I just realized something, of how I never connected the 2 until now, so knowing how you love the number 5, here's a bit of my wacked silliness and I send you some Soup#5 (ok, admittedly I have yet to taste this soup, but trust me, when I do, it'd be in your honor)...please don't hate me sweetie, you know how my sense of humor can be at times, haha...I just need something to lighten up-- but umm, yeah, here's a link to what it is http://reelandgrill.blogspot.com/2009/11/soup-number-5-or-soup-no-5-or-lanciao.html

Also, it's September already and methinks some of you might be familiar with how here where I am, it also means the start of Christmas preparations (yeah, it has waned down somewhat and to be honest, I sort of miss it?)-- this also means for us hearing Christmas carols played on the radio, in supermarkets and some pre-Christmas sales in malls and yep, just the other day, Home Alone (love this movie) was played on cable....

I think it's very fitting for me to do this now, since I'm mushrooming out, allow me to say right now,

Maligayang Pasko (Merry Christmas!)

and with this, let me leave you with a song from years back, from a Christmas TV station ID here... ok the English translation included is a bit rough, but at least you'd get an idea... I find the meaning to be beautiful.... scroll down, for to see the actual SID.

Again, Happy, happy birthday dearest Andrea!!

I wish you continued love and happiness... my continued prayers and thoughts for you and your health and loved ones and do remain to be the awesome, beautiful person that you are. You are truly a ray of sunshine for me! Also, happy birthday to all the September babies... ok, let me greet all the babies for the rest of the as well!

Ahh, I was able to snatch a birthday cake pic with your name on it plus the violet bear below is still greeting you, happy birthday, Andrea

Here I go, mushroom mode.

Nikko, thank you for this sweet and considerate blog which is her essence. Andrea, you are among the few here I consider worth having as a friend. You always impress me with your forgiveness and the freedom it gives you. God Bless you.

You honor me with this comment, Rob. Forgiveness is truly one of the few things in this world that is not as difficult for me as for some that I know. So that is why I feel free? Thanks so much for that, Rob.

Tom, any day with a movie is a good one for me. I saw Manos De Piedra, about the famous boxer who once beat Sugar Ray and then my daughter showed me another movie at her house. I just got back and get to see more fabulous friends here. Thanks for the wishes!!

Charma, I am blessed to know YOU. I can't believe how dear you are to so many Soupers and how you send me cards all the way from your country at Xmas time. That is something I fear is going out of style and will be totally obliterated in the future. Thanks for being such an angel to me always. HUGS!!
