Long-lost Friends

Nghe giọng nói thân thương
Của bạn xưa trường cũ
Hôm nay tôi tìm lại
Khoảng khắc tuổi học trò.

English Translation version:
Long-lost friends are calling me
By the name that I long to hear
Thinking of whom...
Reminding me those good old days.

This time, last year.
Written in reminiscing of my old school mates.

8A1

You're my stars, you're my skies
You're my beautiful rays of sunlight.
You bring me smiles, you make my day
You are my friends that forever be...

October 2011
Written to friends in my 8A1 class!

Morning Dewdrops

Morning Dewdrops on Bitter Melon Leaf
Photo by Mei
Notes:
The above picture of morning dewdrops on bitter melon leaf is the result of my first attempt in making the best out of using Picasa Web Albums' Creative Kit since it officially became the replacement for Picnik.

The original photo was taken with (4th generation) iPod touch camera. It was then soften, refocused using the focal B&W effect and finally... gotten Polaroid framed!

Risen

Like a flower opens up toward the sky
catching the first breath of morning sunlight

My heart is yearning for the Lord
He, who is risen on this break of dawn.

"Flowering Quince" Chaenomeles Flowers

Happy Easter 2012

Writer’s Notes:
Written on April 3, 2012, during the Holy Week, in giving glory to God at the fifteenth station (Christ’s Resurrection).

The picture of chaenomeles flowers was taken back in March 2012 when those budding flowers found on the "flowering quince" (aka "Japanese quince", japonica) shrub in my Dad’s garden just started to bloom.

The photo was edited in Picasa Web Albums' Creative Kit using mirrored frame by Picnik.

Beginning Anew

Words by: Mei
Sing to the tune of “Morning Hymn”


Spring rain is falling
Sprung up a new life
Awaking my soul
Beginning anew.

Confessing of sins
In reconciling
Profession of faith
In seeking God’s grace.

Come home to give thanks
Thanks unto the Lord
The Lord, O our God
(He welcomes me home)
Welcoming me home.

Lenten Season 2012

Writer’s Notes:
Written on the first day of Spring in reflection of my first confession back on the beginning of the month.
