Abigail the Mouse

The little mouse paid a visit to the wise ol' Uncle Google and found something rather interesting about herself. Little did the little mouse know, she is very much featured in books and cartoons and plays. Books, cartoons and plays for little children, to be precise.

There's this cartoon on the family of Furlings, where Abigail Wood Mouse explore new adventures with her cute furry friends.

Then there's this little children book on Abigail Mouse and her fellow friend Sophie the rabbit.

Interesting! The little mouse is more popular than she could ever imagine. Popular to little children, to be precise :)

Passion for Dancing! (Part II)

Yes, dancing updates! The little mouse is always ever so excited to share about her passion in dancing. Never has she regretted taking time off to go for the classes. You know, the time she spent on dancing classes, she could gladly use is for.... well, sleeping... and the money for the dancing fees for... well, eating...

Hmm... eating and sleeping... a definite sign of PPM (Pre-Procrastination Syndrome), which will lead to SDD (Silent Dream Death). Let’s not dwell into that, shall we? Life has too much wonder to discover :)

Back to the topic.

The little mouse would really really really (yes, crazily really) would want to get a pair of purple dancing shoes! Yes, for the love of dancing and her purple indulgence. But, hardly she can find dancing shoe shops or shoe makers in her homeland. However, that did not stop her from browsing through the designs in the Internet. And all you Internet lovers say, amen!

These dancing shoes are just lovely shoes… really an adoration…*drool*

But, she still needs to scout her homeland for it. Most probably she needs to open her mouth and ask her fellow dancing friends in her class.

In the meantime, let’s drool over the pictures she got from the web site: http://www.latindancefashions.com






Yes, yes and yes. This is NOT purple. But it's really nice swweeeettt... :)

Ode to Wern

The little mouse has a wonderful friend, Wern. When she knew that her friend is leaving to another land in pursue of her dreams, the little mouse was broken hearted. For she knew she will miss her wonderful friend dearly. Especially the sharing and the bonding with her…

The chits and the chats together…
The laughter and giggles shared…
The classical music and the orchestra listened…
The blues and swings and the jazz night out…

“I’ll already missing you…” exclaimed the little mouse, though there is three more month till she leaves.
So, the little mouse blesses her dear friend. And pray that the Lord will bless her and guide her as she ventures out into the foreign land. Pray for protection over her safety and health. And pray for favor among the people in that land. Pray that she will prosper in wisdom, health and wealth. And also, pray that she will not forget her little mousie friend in her homeland. Amen.

Passion for Dancing!

It was the little mouse’s New Year resolution three year ago. Then, it became her resolution for the next year. And the year after that…

Well, have to admit it, procrastination is a deadly silent dream killer.

“Enough is enough! It’s time to take action. Or again, let my heart suffer from another year of lost dream!” Hmm… ok, the little mouse was a bit exaggerating. But then again, why let down a passion God has placed in her heart doze off into silent slumber… again…

On the first month of the year 2007, the little mouse went on a journey of exploration and search. She took time and effort to search far and wide (on the day she really wanted to sleep! Oh yes, nothing like a Sunday afternoon nap). After her daily work, she pursued on her exploration. She enquired, observed, sampled…

And yes, she finally decided…

The dance school she’s going to enroll! Yes, you got that right! The little mouse is learning to dance. Latin dance, to be precise.

Now, she has gone through two wonderful classes. She enjoyed the savor of every moment. Well, sometimes she does feel silly; dancing on her own, observing her own feet, counting the beats and giggling profusely. Nevertheless, she never could imagine dancing can such a breathtaking passion (literally speaking, the little mouse sometimes forgot to breathe while counting her steps).

Oh, how she longs to dance and dance and dance! An hour class weekly never seems enough. The steps, the twirls, the beats, the sway… how she wishes to dance all night long.

And how thankful she is to God. Who had planted such passion in her heart… Amen!

BTW, good site for those who are interested about dancing; whether it's good ol' cha cha cha, the fun quicksteps and even the elegant waltz. They even post video clips on how to do some basic dancing steps.

Psalm 23

Taken from a forwarded email :)

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd
That's Relationship!

I shall not want
That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters.
That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul
That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.
That's Guidance!

For His name sake
That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
That's Testing!

I will fear no evil.
That's Protection!

For Thou art with me
That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,
That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
That's Hope!

Thou anointest my head with oil,
That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over.
That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.
That's Security!

Forever.
That's Eternity!
