They just had a wonderful time at the mall, receiving their donations from our local government. These people lost their homes and possessions in the flood last September. Until now, their place is flooded and they needed time to restore what they lost which is why they are still getting help from everybody.<br /><br />These happy scene makes Christmas more meaningful for me and my family. All the cards and happy wishes we got more than made up for the calamities our country is going through. Even if we're just animals, we are glad to be doing our part, in helping people and animals in need.<br /><br />For more beautiful flower sceneries and happy stories go and visit <a href="http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/">TodaysFlowers</a>!Bogarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17732140592259639604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322752891277309021.post-67083583272194614462009-12-25T05:23:00.006+08:002009-12-25T05:51:20.225+08:00Look What We Got In The Mail!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5x47m9mP_ygTnqEttvjAzpDSRWrM-sCSZWKLfTPQdd4i0rAVa64IJn3UhORGeDgFKjuwq4uxKw61e6RzfxqRqqCOR_tYD4_UfG8cv97TmMVWG2N_fOxsbW5nAXLL5DjtF_PwpAc7b/s1600-h/greenwds.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5x47m9mP_ygTnqEttvjAzpDSRWrM-sCSZWKLfTPQdd4i0rAVa64IJn3UhORGeDgFKjuwq4uxKw61e6RzfxqRqqCOR_tYD4_UfG8cv97TmMVWG2N_fOxsbW5nAXLL5DjtF_PwpAc7b/s320/greenwds.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418918951686056562" border="0" /></a><br />I received this from our Postman this week.

To prepare its stem again and possibly to sprout another Hoya in its place. Hoya is a non-stop miracle in our house Heaven. And just like the passing of typhoon Santi (international code name Mirinae) in our house this weekend, we woke up to face another day. Another day that smell and feel like new. Something happened after the typhoon. And whatever it is, we really like it!<br /><br />I am sure there are flowers blooming and shedding in my flower community <a href="http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/">at TodaysFlowers </a>so please visit them by clicking on it.Bogarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17732140592259639604noreply@blogger.com
