do u believe in santa claus??

yesterday i was watching a movie called 'single santa looking 4 mrs.claus'...the synopsis is something like this > A single mother whose faith in love died with her former husband learns that Christmas miracles can still happen in director Harvey Frost's warmhearted tale of winter magic. Beth Andrews (Crystal Bernard) is a devoted single mother and advertising executive whose current campaign could put her on the fast track to the big time. The holiday season is here, and in order to sell the latest in video game technology, Beth's campaign needs the perfect Santa Claus. As Beth burns the midnight oil night after night and attempts to convince her young son Jake (Dominic Scott Kay) never to have faith in fantasies, the wistful young man pens a letter to Santa asking for a new dad for the holidays. It seems that up in the North Pole the time has come for Saint Nick to pass along the seasonal responsibilities to his son Nick (Steve Guttenberg), but in order to take the position, Nick must have a Mrs. Claus before Christmas Eve. Upon receiving the Christmas request from young Jake, Nick sets his sights on Los Angeles, and Beth Andrews in particular. Despite his best intentions, it's going to take more than a Christmas miracle to convince the dejected widow that love can still conquer all.

so it's another one of those romantic comedies where everything ends up just well n perfect... but while watching d movie, while watching Nick tryin 2 convince Beth that Santa is real it kinda reminded me of when i was a kid... i think when i was abt 4 or 5... dat christmas, as usual we went 4 d midnite mass... n when we came back.. all the presents were under d tree, n d glass of milk we left n d cookies were gone... well at dat time i was pretty sure i couldn't hv been my parents cos they were with us d whole time n wouldn't hv had d chance 2 do it b4 we came home... so i really tot dat Santa really came n gave us d presents.... n wats more, d following day when we were on our way 2 visit our grandparents in melaka, we passed this car which Santa, literally was sitting in....dat guy really looked like d SAnta in d movies.... wearing dat bright red suit, those gold-rimmed specs, dat bushy white hair n beard.... my sis n i were so excited seeing him... n he din dissapoint us.... he waved n winked at us, just wat Santa if he really existed would hv done.... it still tickles me when i recall dat moment... two excited lil girls n a car, n Santa in d next car waving... kinda like evry lil kid's dream come true... i guess it would hv been better if we saw him in a sleigh wit his reindeers XD...hehehe..

so dat brings me to d question

do you believe in Santa?

for me, i know i believe that Saint Nicholas existed,n he would hv given out presents 2 poor lil kids... n after he died, some good soul just kept up the tradition... but Santa i ain't so sure... i guess it's just so hard 2 believe dat some1 can go to all d lil kids in d world in one nite n give them all d presents... it's just too hard to believe for me... imagining is easy..... but wat abt u??? wat do u believe????

the beauty of little children

little children are a joy
to all who see them,
they are the best teachers
when it comes to loving and living
for they love without caution
and they live life to the fullest.

often we forget,
the simple beauties of life,
but for me,
i just need to look at a little child,
be it boy or girl,
n they can bring
joy untold to the depths of this cold heart.

only the little ones,
can give you a smile so true,
a smile that comes
right from the bottom of their hearts.
even hearts of stone will be melted
seeing true joy n love
in this world of lies n deceptions.

and most of all,
little children love you
for who you are now,
the care not of what you did,
or what you may do,
all that they care and love
is you,
just you, for who you are;
why so??
because children are gifted by God,
they can see right through your heart,
no words spoken,
they love you for that.

little children are a gift
a gift from God to this burdened world
that we may see and learn
that we too need to be like them
loving n trusting unconditionally
our great Father,
so we may one day be wit him too...





this is written for the little ones who hv made my life richer than money can possibly give, just by the presence of their lives in mine. especially for christina, damien, kathrina, luke boy n darrel, love you kids a lot. much more than words can say

so dat was d most hectic day ever....we only finished all d decorating at abt 9.30... took damn long.... but d house looks so nice n chirsmassy now.... i love this time of d year.... it certainly is d most fun time of all....

happy feet.....hmmm

since classes ended yesterday at 12.....grace n i decided 2 treat ourselves wit 'happy feet'....the whole event was practically free....

1) d ride from coll to pyramid: initially, grace n i decided we would hail a cab n get ourselves there 4 the show at 12:10... we didnt hv 2 cos wai cheng offered 2 send us there on her way home.... no $$$ spent at all...

2) den comes d movie tickets... grace's dad managed 2 get some free passes 4 us 2 watch the movie.... so dat was also free

3) d ride back from pyramid 2 coll: grace had arranged wit her dad 2 pick her up after we were done.... so i got a free ride back 2 coll.... again no $$$ out of d pocket.... XD

see, the purpose 4 d outing was paid for, n d transport also all covered.... so practically grace n i went 4 a free show.... don't it just give new meaning 2 'free show'??....hehehehehehe....

anyways the only $$$$ spent was when we bought the popcorn n drinks.... dats all.... a mere RM8 spent 4 2 persons 2 watch a movie... life is good....

so now lets talk abt the star of the movie, mumble happy feet.... i totally feel for d dude, cos i 2 am hopeess at singing.... tho i dun think i'm as bad as he is... i can carry a tune sometimes... not always, but sometimes....anyways, i think it's cool dat he can't sing cos in d end it was his tap dancing dat eventually saved the whole colony.....but my fav character aint mumble d emperor penguin, but actually ramon, d spunky lil penguin who speaks spanish.....ramon's also part of a group of 5 penguins who call themselves adelie amigos... well these lil fellas din care if u cant sing, all they care is abt being urself... n for once in his life mumble feels happy n excepted....n den d story goes on blah blah blah..... there aint much of a storyline 2 d movie... but it's the funny antics dat d animators hv put in2 d penguins......was a good laugh n i came out hving enjoyed myself....


after d movie, i went 2 do some xmas shopping 4 my parents.... managed 2 get soemthing 4 my mom, but not my dad...hmmm... it's just so hard 2 find good gifts 4 guys n men.....troublesome species they are....n i got myself a cool t-shirt... which when i went home i had 2 fight wit my mom n sis 2 keep it cos they wanted it....haiyo.....

i shall end dis long post now....

p.s.: i'm officially prepared n ready 2 go 4 xmas shopping marathonS.... XD
