Never too late.Merry Christmas!

Oh wow it's been a while! I haven't really been into blogging mood lately.Sometimes I even think of just totally abandoning this blog.And even if I have readers or not, the thought of escaping seems a little unfair for myself.Maybe because this little space of mine in the Cyber world is just so darn special to me.Maybe because I have shared some intimate feelings and venting,and thoughts that are important to me. And maybe just maybe this little spot is where I remember tender moments about my family.


December is always busy...busy..busy..Darren's birthday was awesome.Simple just the way we wanted it to be. And he sure had a blast.I am sure of it. I love him.And really I couldn't believe that he is a toddler.But he still looks like a baby to me.

Happy birthday baby.

Graduation also happened a few days after Darren's birthday. And it is just so sad to say goodbyes to some good friends.I really do miss them. Like A LOT. But I am so excited for them as they step into the real world and start a new chapter of their life.

HAPPY GRADUATION!



Darren had to say good-bye to his girlfriend.

Our Christmas was simple but we truly enjoyed our laid back Hawaiian Christmas Holiday. We spent our Christmas Eve in Town.We went to the Waikiki Aqaurium. And we also had a nice dinner with friends at Romano's Macaroni grill.

The greatest gift I ever received.My boys.

Nate and I decided that we would watch ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE every evening of Christmas Eve. Has anybody seen that movie?It's a great movie.Darren enjoyed opening his presents on Christmas morning.And I am glad that Nate was able to capture the moment and was able to video it for memory sake. After the opening of the presents.Nate read the story of the birth of Christ. Good family tradition, I tell you.



This whole time Nate has been asking me on what I want for Christmas so that we can open a present. But I couldn't think of any. I love clothes and perfume and other pretty little things that woman loves. But I didn't feel like buying anything. I enjoyed the time buying presents for Darren.And I was very glad that Nate was able to pick something he wants for Christmas. But I feel so complete and so content that I don't feel the need of getting a present. I am happy and I am grateful.We are healthy,we may not have much but we have each other and we have everything that we need.We have good friends.We have a strong support system which is our family. And we have the gospel where we draw strength,faith and hope. And that to me is a COMPLETE AND AWESOME CHRISTMAS GIFT.I really couldn't not ask for a better Christmas present. My life is wonderful.And because of that I am truly happy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Darren's favorite thing to do PEEK-A-BOO. He is also becoming a pretty good walker now.

Grandpa Taylor hope you enjoy this video!

A little bit of Catching up.

A little bit of catching up.Last week we had sometime to relax with Nate before he gets busy with his finals.For our Monday FHE we went to watch the Sunset at Sunset beach and took some pictures.D monkey had fun playing and eating the sand.

For Nate's birthday I made him a yummy pancake with chocolate chips and ice cream on top for breakfast.He went to work for a couple of hours while D baby and I played and did some errands. And for lunch Darren and I took him to Haleiwa Eats (as requested).Since he is in love with their Chicken fried rice and the divine Dessert fried banana with sundae.

After a long day. Some friends joined us for dinner in celebration of Nate's birthday.We had cake some other foods and a fun game.Overall it was a fun day!


Yesterday since Nate was busy preparing for finals.Darren and I enjoyed our time at the beach.I am glad that this boy loves the water.He didn't mind the waves at all. He was giggling every time his feet touches the water.And he finally was able to use his floaty. After much playing in the water he decided to sit down and contemplate. It was funny to watched him just staring and observing the waves and the sky. for a long time. He's a pretty observant boy.I tell yah.





I hope everyone is having an awesome week.I can't wait for this weekend to come so that we can have more playtime with Daddy.But really I am a little sad cause we're gonna be saying good bye to some good friends that are graduating and leaving the Island for good.

The Real Meaning of Christmas

I thank my Savior for being born into this world.For showing me how to live.For teaching me the things that I should know. For leading the way. I thank HIM for feeling my pain. And for loving me so perfectly. I thank HIM for giving HIS LIFE so that I can live.I thank HIM for making it possible for me to be with my precious family FOREVER.

I can feel the spirit of Christmas so thick and so strong.I can feel my Savior's love for me so powerful and so great.

December Breeze

This morning I took Darren for a walk. As I was walking the cold breeze was getting into every part of my body. And it felt good. Oh DECEMBER BREEZE.And then I realize that Christmas is really just right around the corner.I am feeling ecstatic.Happy that my favorite season of the year is near. And the fact the my 2 favorite people are going to be celebrating their birthday this month makes even more excited. Yes, I may not be able to experience the White Christmas and winter wonderland.But I live in Paradise so I don't think I am missing a lot. And I am used to the tropical weather anyway.So I am totally cool with having Christmas on a 70 degrees weather.

If only our families live closer that will put an extra icing on the cake.And our Christmas will be even more joyful. But it's all good.I guess this is a good start of a family tradition during this Holiday.

But yah know I feel like 2010 just started and then it's almost ending.Where did time go?Have I missed something?Or maybe I am just really busy with my little family.Oh I love them more and more each day.


That's all have to say for now.


Have a good Monday everyone!

When Dumbo invades facebook.

And so I joined the party....

There's been some campaign on facebook regarding child abuse. It says "change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until monday (Dec.6) there should be no human faces on facebook, but an invasion of memories. This is for violence against children."

According to facebook press,Facebook has more than 500 MILLION active users. And people spend over 700 BILLION minutes on Facebook per month. There are more than 70 % translation available on the site.And about 70% of the users are outside the United States.And over 300,000 users actually helped translate the site through translation application. (http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics) And I believe that there's no better place to do this ad/campaign than on FACEBOOK.

I was once a child and are very much happy to say that I enjoyed my childhood.And now that I am a mom and love my Darren boy to pieces.I feel like other children should feel that same love and care from us ADULTS- yah know us the fully developed,grown up and mature human beings once that actually reached the state of independency (wait is that even a word)oh yes it is as a matter of fact it means the state of independence. And since my blog is out for the whole cyber world to see.I am reaching out to you all STOP THE VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN.And if you are ONE ABUSER AND happen to read this blog "SHAME ON YOU." -sorry for being blunt. But I hope it is not too late for you to change.


And really I don't feel silly doing this.Because I know in my own little way I am able to break my silence and let the whole world know on my thoughts about child abuse. P-e-d-o-p-h-i-l-e-s makes me sick to my stomach. One of the mommy blogggers bebeloo share her thoughts about this. This is suppose to be save for another post looooooong time ago,I just never really quite got in the mood of doing it.But I am in the mood to share my thoughts about this NOW.And so share,I WILL.


Remember Michael Vick one of the famous football player who got sentenced in prison for 2 yrs for dog fighting.I think he deserves it .I got it. The media actually made a big fuzz about this. But how many famous people actually got away from crimes that they actually did. Rape,murder,drugs. And come to think of it, there are a lot more psycho out there who are child molesters/sex offenders and where are they right now? OUT THERE somewhere looking for their prey. SICK,SICK,SICK....

And to think there are actually sites online or even online businesses such as AMAZON who put this e-book "A Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure"on sale.MAKES ME WANNA VOMIT.

Like really,why put this e-book on sale for those people whoever they are?WHY?

Like Damaris I believe that as mature responsible adults who composes this society, we believe that children have rights. They need to feel the love and security that they deserve. Are we just gonna let the world of this children crumble right in front of their eyes?

I SAY NO! I am a mom and if I could take away all of the dangers that my child is about to witness in this society I WILL. I wish I could shield him forever,wrap him in my arms.But I can't. There will come a time that he too will be an adult like us. And I want to give him/teach him all the necessary things that he will need in order to make him prepare for the craziness that he is about to witness. Confusions that would make him question the society where he is part of.


I hope that we could make this society a better place.But we as mothers can only do so much.And everything that we do matters in the eyes of our little children.We are their guide,their HERO. And I know that this battle between good and evil will still go on it will never ends because that's how we exist in this world. But we have a CHOICE.And we can make it right.
