Happy Mother's Day, Ma!
Yes, I am taking myself quite well.. hopefully, I think..

First of all, here's a special dedication to some very special Mothers out there..

A Gift From Heaven
~by Michael Vaughan Engel Snr~

The golden rays from the sun that streak across the heavens
The moon that shines a silvery path through the darkest night
The stars that sprinkle their magic on those who dare to dream
The beauty of autumn leaves
The smiling warmth of spring flowers
Each part of each day
Each part of each season
We marvel at all heavens gifts
But the most wonderful gift of all is a mother
For mothers have all the gifts of the universe
They are Heavens instrument of life
The golden rays of the sun that gives birth to the seeds of life
The moon that lights life’s darkest path
The stars that awaken the dreams of youth
The spring flowers that soften life’s little tragedies
A mother indeed has all these gifts
But the nicest gift of all is a mother’s love
For a mother’s love is unconditional
A mother is truly a gift from heaven

Mother's Day originally "kicked-off", by Anna Jarvis to honor mothers and motherhood especially within the context of families, and family relationships everywhere - celebrated on every Second Sunday in the month of May. However nine years after the official holiday, the occasion itself was finally consumed by commercialism & became so rampant that Anna Jarvis herself became a major opponent fighting against it - using up all her inheritance to finance the movement. Crazy stuff. Aside from all those, Happy Mother's day to all mothers and mothers-to-be.

Oh, and a clip too.. from Family Guy cartoon... huhu..


P.S, Can't wait to finish all the exams and get back home to taste all those home cooked meals. Ma, you're the Best!! Truly!!
