Sharing some older pics....

Today is a very special day, it's not a day for Lovers, it's a day for Love......

share a little love to everyone,

a sweet of smile,

a dab of hello,

a sparkling wink,

a chuckling laugh.

But most of all, a good hug or a pat on the back wouldn't hurt... =)"

Have a great day!!!

YEAR OF THE RAT


The Chinese year 4706 begins on Feb. 7, 2008.

[CLICK ON PICTURE TO ENLARGE AND READ]


The Chinese lunisolar calendar is divided into 12 months of 29 or 30 days. The calendar is adjusted to the length of the solar year by the addition of extra months at regular intervals. The years are arranged in major cycles of 60 years. Each successive year is named after one of 12 animals. These 12-year cycles are continuously repeated. The Chinese New Year is celebrated at the second new moon after the winter solstice and falls between January 21 and February 19 on the Gregorian calendar. The year 2007 translates to the Chinese year 4704–4705. The year 2008 translates to the Chinese year 4705–4706.

New Year ~~ New Recipe

Chuncheon Wings

Our dear Tamar has shared with us another yummy recipe.
Do try these!
Love the music too.

Thank you Tamar!
Happy New Year!

New Years Eve -- Hawaiian Style

This was taken from my backyard just before sunset.




These are some of the firecrackers we played. They are not the "real thing" but a wonderful invention that we have come to enjoy. These sound almost like the real firecrackers, but less rubbish to clean up afterwards.

These are various novelty fountains my son enjoyed lighting. They emit sparks, they make loud ear busting noises and plenty of smoke.





Some of these fountains last for about 2 minutes.

In Hawaii we are allowed to purchase novelty fireworks and play them safely. Real firecrackers can also be purchased but inorder to do so, one must obtain a permit which allows you to purchase 5000 firecrackers. Each permit cost $25.00. It can get costly if you want to play more than 5000 firecrackers.

Happy New Year 2008!

I have a few more hours till the New Year is upon us so I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous 2008. May you all find joy, love and hope for the new year.

To my friends, both near and far, I extend to you all the very best for 2008. Thank you all for being there thru the good and bad.

To my new found Bae family, may you all continue to experience the love and friendship we have because of Yong Joon ssi. I have never known such a wonderful circle of friends and I look forward to bigger, brighter and more exciting events for 2008!

Happy New Year!

Annyeong haseyo, dear family, this is Bae Yong Joon.

It has been a long time to send my greetings.

I have recently finished drama shooting, I am at home reading books, listening to music, and watching movies. I am doing things that I have not been able to do. I am meeting people who I have not been able to see for a while.

Of course, I am curing my injury, and it is getting much better now.

There is only one day left for year 2007, it will soon become year 2008.

Looking back this year now, it has been full of afterglow and regrets for me.

During the shooting of drama, there were very hard times and I did get some injuries, but your support, trust and hope gave me power to complete the whole shooting. I sincerely send my appreciation to you all.

The year is ending soon, I wish you and your family hope and happiness in the new year.

(in Japanese)
Dear family, Happy New Year!

裴勇俊的新年致辞

Annyong haseyo！ 亲爱的家人，大家好。
我是裴勇俊。
好久没有给大家送上问候。

我最近刚完成电视剧的拍摄，
现在都呆在家中，看看书，听听音乐，也看看电影。
在做一些之前没能做的事情，
在见一些之前好久都没能见到的人，
当然，我也在养伤，现在已经好很多了。

2007年只剩下一天了，很快就会变成2008年。
回顾这一年，对我来说，是充满了余味，光彩和遗憾的一年。
在拍摄电视剧的过程中，面对了很艰难的时候，我也受了一些伤，
但你们的支持，信任还有期待和希望给了我完成整个拍摄工作的力量。
我真诚地对大家表示感激。

这一年就将结束，
我希望你们和你们的家人都能在新的一年拥有希望和快乐。

(日文) 亲爱的家人，新年快乐！
