Glory of Love

Musical Monday and Music Monday Blog Hop: Glory of Love, Beaches version
Amanda @ Bloggin with Amanda host Musical Monday & Denise @ Run DMT hosts Music Monday Blog Hop
Of all versions of this song, this is what I like best. The pianist makes me chuckle; reminds me of audition time in school. I like the girl's confidence in her performance.

Monday Mayhem: Ten Anyone? Meme
Harriet hosts Monday Mayhem

Mayhem has been hijacked today by Thom. He was tagged recently by Bing at Of Living and Loving...and Coping. Mahalo Bing for the tag. Your mission is to answer the following Ten questions anyway you see fit.


1. Why do you blog? I want my life in readable form

2. Name your three best memories. my father and grandfather showering me with gifts and spoiling me rotten / my boys being happy together / exploring England. Just three? but thanks, now I know I'm more blessed than I realize

3. Name 4 of the best fiction books you've read. These are all I've ever read in recent memory: Pride and Prejudice, Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, Twilight Saga

4. What are the 5 best movies ever made? (and that I love....) Sound of Music, Dead Poets Society, Harry Potter, Anne Shirley of Green Gables, Jane Austen movies

5. Name 5 things I can't live without. air, water, food, shelter, and one or two of those on the top rung of man's hierarchical needs

6. If you could change your name what would it be? something with a J, K, or V and a couple of A's

7. Tell us a unique and interesting fact about yourself. I once had a pink, pregnant buffalo

8. What do you love best about yourself? my metabolism

9. If you had a "Freaky Friday" experience, who would you change places with? Bella Swan

10. What is the best thing about being a woman. This is not mine. I'm borrowing a gay friend's observation - the best thing about a woman is her ability to use the power of her brains and vagina.

Dead Poets Society? Man how im going to have to rent that! I haven't seen it in years! I forget why, but in 9th grade science our teacher gave us extra credit if we rented it and wrote a report on it. Maybe he was just trying to teach us to seize the day?!

Diane, maybe he was. I got the DVD in my collection, watch it whenever I forget that I should be seizing the day :) Thanks for mentioning that line.

A pink, pregnant buffalo? I'm going to need some explaining to understand this. haha.

Have you ever printed your blog? I always dream about turning it into a book..

Actually Jewel, she was white but turned pinkish because she was so big and round her hide probably thinned and that was blood in her veins that made her look pink. My grandfather had lots of buffalos, we call them carabaos. She was the only white one and I liked her so he gave her to me :)

Love the song my friend. What a voice she has. Just wonderful. Why is it gay men are always talking about Vagina's...I certainly don't get it but oh well. :) I wonder if deep in their minds they had grown up with pink pregnant elephants as well LOL :)

Okay, your new name is going to be Ajakva - sounds oddly Mediterranean.

I'm so jealous of your metabolism.
Have you seen Mayim Bialik lately? She's some mega neuro- scientist.

thanks for playing!

Thom, it's probably a case of wishing for something they don't have. I should have titled this post Vaginas and pink preggy elephants. Lol!

Eric, I was thinking more of a combination from an English queen's and an Israeli commoner's names :D

Harriet, nope. They say it's not Maiyim singing on this vid, but I'll go look around about her

I can not believe you didn't add Beaches as one of your favorite songs after picking that clip for MM! I love the Beaches soundtrack and every version of this song. My sister and I use to sing it all the time. We were our own vaudeville act back in the day. LOL

Dead Poet Society is a great movie. I love Harry Potter too.

Weekend Snapshot: The AIDS Temple (Lopburi I)

It is sometimes referred to as the AIDS Museum, I tend to call it AIDS Temple. Descriptively it is a buddhist hospice for AIDS patients, the largest one in Thailand. Three of us, a friend, my son and I paid Wat (temple) Phrabat Nampu in Lopburi a visit last weekend. As it is where people with AIDS go to to die, most of what we saw are not exactly the ones I'm in a hurry to show off. But if you are curious, you may want to click on a post I did days ago. Anyway, on with shots that I don't think will give anyone a coronary:

100 steps to the wat
After the climb this is where you arrive at

"View from the top" - those are bare cornfields visitors pass by on their way to the temple

Side view of the Life Museum which ironically displays mummies

A usual sight around Thai temples

Bone sculptures

The temple bell

Life is beautiful. Most of us would prefer that of course. AIDS is also real.

Rumford

The Rumford is a much more efficient way to heat a room than earlier fireplaces....(Wikipedia on Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, designer of tall, shallow fireplaces which are now known as the Rumford, was an Anglo-American physicist known for his investigations of heat)Living in the tropics, I have been in close proximity with only three fireplaces in my life. There was an unused one in the home of my college professor in the Philippines. The other one from which I could feel the heat and see the fire dancing was in a hotel lobby in the Yorkshire Moors. Picture taking was quick. Two old ladies were having tea by it, but that was my first ever real fireplace experience, and I loved it. The latest I have touched is the one in Jane Austen's imaginary Northanger Abbey.
The fireplace, where she had expected the ample width and ponderous carvings of former times, was contracted to a Rumford, with slabs of plain though handsome marbles, and ornament over it of the prettiest English ch…

Honor, Awards and a Game

Tuesday Couch Potatoes: Made of Honor
Awards and a Game/Meme follow. Please scroll down a bit.


My pick for this week's TCP theme (wedding movie) is Made of Honor. I like the humor in it. We've all been to several weddings but how many of us can say I've been to one in which the maid of honor was a he? The scene which particularly cracked me up is when the priest mistook the maid of honor for a gay man =) If you're familiar with some of my likes, you'd know why I also love the Scotland location of the wedding. For more of the synopsis click here; and here's the trailer:
Head over to Just About Anything for more wedding movies.

My super duper bloggy friend Thom of Thom's Place for Well Whatever and fellow Mom Tetcha of Pensive Thoughts awarded me this Beautiful Blogger award. I have to list seven things about me so here they are:

1. I love wearing jeans more than skirts.
2. One of my favorite colors is purple.
3. I don't mind spending sunrise…
