Happy Mother's Day!

* This post was supposed to be put up on the actual Mother's Day itself, on 13th May 2012, but I was mourning the loss of Manchester United FC in the English Premier League to the Blues. @#$! *KIDDING...*

My son, Nathan made this in school for Mother's Day.
Inside the card, he drew this picture of me.

Me:       Who's this?
Nathan:  Mummy!
Me:        Why does Mummy look like this? Mummy only has two strands of hair?
Nathan:  Hahahaha!
Me:        Eyes, mouth...ey? Where are Mummy's nose and ears?
Nathan:  Uh-oh.

*LOL*
Of course I was only teasing him. I adore his work. :) And yes, I thanked him for the card.

"The noblest calling in the world is that of mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after painting shall have faded, and books and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give."
 - David O. McKay


Happy Mother's Day to all mothers in the world! :)

Inspirations

Stumbled upon this profile on Instagram -@toolkit04. The guy's got amazing talent! He draws beautiful portraits and I especially love his sketches on eyes. Looking at his work reminds me of my passion for art. I used to draw/paint/sketch a lot and enjoyed it. I haven't been doing those for some time. Now, I am finding the inspiration to start drawing again. I hope it doesn't fizzle out this time. Haha!

Here's a pen sketch of an eye I did - inspired by the artist. I need more practice!

Art aside, I think I'm beginning to develop a keen passion towards cooking and baking, too. *Gosh, I am so random! LOL*  
I miss the time I was always cooking when in England. I can't wait to get my own place, and I'd make sure I have a nice and cozy and fully-equipped kitchen because I want to cook and bake! I've been saying this since I was in London, and that was like 6 years ago!  W.O.W. Ages! *Blushes* IseriouslyneedtoputmywordsintoactionsASAP.

I should really keep up with blogging. We're already in the middle of the second quarter of the year. And I've gotten sick like 3 times since the beginning of the year - not good. May, please be good to me! 
My little boy, Nathan's turning 5 this 12th.

And at over 9-month-old, Mikaela's already squirming out of our grip to go down and move around by herself! Oh dear, I guess I'll be soon chasing her around when she begins her first steps. 

Kids. How fast they grow!

Guess I'm blessed. :)
