Hi, Baby! It's your birthday again. You are 4 years old now, right?! I'm so lucky, privileged, thankful and blessed for having you and being your Mama. You're perfect. You made my life worth living for and you made me so happy everyday. I know, that sometimes we fight and I upset you, but I still love you. I love you so very much. You're my inspiration, you're my dream come, you're my God's Greatest Gift. There are no words enough to express how much I love you, how much I appreciate you, how much I treasure and value you and how I feel about you. I'm just so in-love with you and nothing, no one will change that. You're the number one person in my life. I pray that God shower and bless you with good health and happiness.

Happy 4th Birthday, Baby Lucy! Yes, you know that. You're still my Baby even if you're a big girl now. :-)

I hope that you have a great day today (and everyday, of course!)

God Bless you always!

Love,

Mama and Papa

I got up around 5 in the morning today. What else is new?! Well, there's nothing new except that we were gonna witness, experience and encounter one of the greatest mysteries of the world, the total solar eclipse. Yes, we are here in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.

Seven-thirty in the morning I took a shower (with my daughter) and get dressed. Grabbed her breakfast and took some drinks with us and went downstairs. Yes, just downstairs. How amazing and incredible is that?! We were so blessed and flattered to witness this. Around 8:30 in the morning, the whole city, started to turn dark, little by little and around 9-ish, it got so dark and the sky looked so unreal and surreal. Just incredible! Nine-twenty-seven the whole place turned dark, that the lights had to be turned on. It looked like night time. The total eclipse lasted for about a couple of minutes. My partner and I, took lots of photos, unfortunately I couldn't get a really good "close" up shots b/c my camera is not really a fancy one. But the three of us were so happy, even our daughter was so fascinated with this. We will definitely remember this for the rest of our lives. And I'm sure, my daughter (who's only 3 years old and 11 months!) will remember this when she gets older. I took lots of videos of her while watching the eclipse and of course, who's gonna beat the photos I took of her while the eclipse was happening?!

Just beautiful!

Thank you, dear God, for letting us witness one of your magic tricks!

I just want to brag my parents! They deserve to be recognized and tap on their backs for doing a really great job and for being such a great parents to us. I miss them so very much! I LOVE YOU, NANAY AND TATAY! :-)

He's my dad, he's my idol. He never go out and go to work without looking at himself in all of our mirrors, he's very neat and hygienic person. He's very cool and loving and he's the most responsible guy I've ever known (and also my maternal grandfather. RIP!)

And here's my mom. I love her so much! She's also a neat freak and hygienic just like my dad. :-) She's my inspiration. She raised 7 children to be a really good people (I think!) She stayed at home for 19 years to look after us. She got married (arranged marriage) when she was only 17 years old.

My parents are no ordinary people. :-) They have their own ups and downs and fights that lead to drama. But my father no matter how angry he was, he'd just cry and hug my mom. My mom is just so stubborn, like me. LOL! :-) I love her determination, when she says NO it means, no! But she's very loving and responsible. I can't remember a day that our house, was messy, not even for a few minutes. She devoted her life to us and her family.

Anyway, here's the latest photo of my parents with my two beautiful nieces! (The top one, I added some stuff!)
