Honokaa Boy

I spent several summers and Christmases in Japan, so you can imagine how much I love the country. So when I saw the trailer of this film called Honokaa Boy (thanks to Dina!), I got really excited. I hope it reaches Singapore, or at least I hope to get a hold of the subtitled DVD in a few months!



Honokaa Boy is about a young boy, Yoshida, who visits the small town of Honokaa where he becomes the small town theaters' projectionist. It is while he works here where he becomes close to an elderly seamstress named Beatrice Okamoto.

Director Atsushi Sanada makes his feature length directorial debut, while actor Masaki Okada plays his first lead role in a major motion picture.

While googling this film, I stumbled on this entry on The Big Island Video News covering it's premiere.

Greece on a Whim

I love special mentions. A few days ago, The Fab Miss B convod me to tell me that my Malia Aqua Bikini Top was part of her treasury, and her blog . And what a lovely blog it is! Thanks so much, Becky!

Half a Decade!

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary last Friday the 13th!! I posted details about our wedding on my entry last year- just click here, and check it out :)

Great things Happen to the Grateful

It's amazing. Just a little over a week ago, I decided to buy a little fabric notebook and write down each and every blessing God would send my way. I did! Down to the smallest blessing, I would feel the gratitude and write it down in this litte notebook (I am so in love with this little espresso color). A few days later, I was immensely blessed with a Godwink I could not ignore.

Thank You, thank you, thank you!

Natalie Gulbis in Singapore

This week, one of the most exciting golf tournaments is in town! The HSBC Women's Championships 2009 in Tanah Merah Golf Club Garden Course! One of my favorite players is here- Natalie Gulbis! I had the chance to see her play in person a few years ago when I accompanied Pat on assignment (the free food in the media center wasn't bad either!). I became a big fan of Natalie not just because of her play (her swing is wicked!), but I love it how she keeps her femininity while playing such a strong sport. A true professional!

I told my husband how I'd love her to wear one of my Verão bikinis. He agrees with me (and a bit too enthusiastic about it actually).

Here's a picture of Natalie with Pat my hubby taken in last years Lexus Cup:


And here's a photo of her taken just last March 5 during the HSBC Women's Champions.



I know she's now part of The Celebrity Apprentice. I wish I could get to see those shows here!

I'm cheering for you Natalie!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Happy Birthday to me! It was a rainy birthday, slightly gloomy. Then all of a sudden, this shows up in the sky:


This was the view from our balcony. How wonderful can that be? A new beginning!

It sure was a wonderful birthday. This song would be perfect with the vision of the rainbow!
