On Steven Hawking's Pieces of Advice

Q: Interviewer: What is the best advice you have given your children?

A: Steven Hawking: Here are the most important pieces of advice that I have passed on to my children.

1. Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

2. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

3. If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is rare and do not throw it away.

4. Daily courage and infinite kindness.

To Tatay

Dear Itay,

I do not think that even if I searched the world for years and years,  I would find someone as caring, as thoughtful, as hardworking as you. You have been a great hero in my life, the greatest strength. Today, because of you I'm blessed in so many ways. You are the best. Thank you Tay for everything. I love you. Happy Father's Day 'Tay!

AND OH! For your father's day gift, you will get a box of the most expensive set of perfume our  allowance can afford. Hope you like it.

Forever,

Rah.

On Smile

“Smile, even if it's a sad smile, because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile.”

Panda's island vacation. Part 4

Panda and Sweet Pea tried to find Nemo and Dory! :D

Panda's island vacation. Part 3

Arfy loves the beach.  Just like a dependable guard dog, he had to take care of  things while panda and sweet pea were swimming.

Arfy is such a good dog! And for that, he deserves a kiss!
 




Arfy, "swim in the water" does not mean swimming on top of a water bottle! lol :D

Why are you Arffraid  of the water?

Guess who Panda and Sweet pea caught slurping away their Red Horse and tequila sunrise while they were not looking! 

The price of sanity and happiness is expensive, but it is not paid in terms of money...

More to come...

It is not yet time for playing Alo and Arfy! :)

Arfy: "I wonder where the wisdom tooth is..."

"Panda wake up! We are almost in the island!"

"They came, they saw, now it is time to swim! Yey!"

They sneaked in so as not to be detected by airport officials :) Fasten your seat belts Alo and Arfy!

Touchdown! Off we go to the island!

It pays to ask

^{The panda is not religious, but he likes religious philosophies and can read about those the whole day. His favorite Bible verse comes from Luke 11: 9-10.}

^{It talks about why it pays to ask, seek, and knock than hang around and do nothing:}

⁹ ”So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

 

    ¹¹ ”Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? ¹² Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? ¹³ If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”    (Luke 11:9-12  NIV)

How about you, do you have a favorite religious phrase or quote?

Where are you going?

He wonders where this plane is going.

He is not blind...

- but he just can't see.
