You Are Always In Our Hearts!

By | Heart Songs, Tributes | 4 Comments

How one man can affect the lives and touch the hearts of people all over the world!  Despite the fame, Michael Jackson is only human just like all of us.  We all have our weaknesses.  

He will live in us FOREVER!  WE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU FOR YOU ARE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS!

Watch this beautiful video till the end…Listen to his words and the angel’s action…I thought it was very appropriate for Heart2Heart’s tribute! 

 

In our darkest hour………In my deepest despair

Will you still care? Will you be there? 

In my trials……..And my tribulations

Through our doubts……….And frustrations

In my violence………..In my turbulence

Through my fear……….And my confessions

In my anguish and my pain

Through my joy and my sorrow

In the promise of another tomorrow

I’ll never let you part

For you’re always in my heart.

I was happy to see all my other friends in facebook and multiply sympathizing with me that day…

 I looooove Michael Jackson and despite whatever wrong decisions he made in his life, he was overall a really good person who touched so many lives all over the world and opened up barriers between races.Just like his song “Man in the Mirror”, we should really look at ourselves first before judging him or any other human being if we want a positive change.Michael Jackson was a great humanitarian and his music was a constant light, a sign of unity for the world..  For that and the many happy memories he brought into my life with my friends and family throughout the years and still today, I will always be thankful for his existence and contribution to humanity.

Meat and Wine Company

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

After all the eating we did in Sydney, I realized we did not have LAMB CHOPS!! My favorite!!  Australia is supposed to be known for steaks too!!! So I desperately asked Geraldine if she knew any place and Francis recommended this place!!  We all loved it!! Thanks Francis!!!!  

It is a restaurant chain with branches in other countries.   It is beside the I Max theater and by Cockle Bay Wharf.

The steak was really good and I finally had my lamb chops!! We also had the best calamari ( which we always order in almost every restaurant ) here.  It was very fresh and very tender! Take note also of the onion rings which come with the steak… YUMMY! 🙂

Taronga Zoo

By | Animals and Pets, For kids, Travel | 2 Comments

The day after we went to the Aquarium and Wildlife Center, we went to Taronga Zoo.  We were so into animals 🙂  If I were to do things all over again or if I had limited time in Sydney, I would just choose to go to the Taronga Zoo since the zoo has a mixture of everything.

You can buy your tickets at the Circular Quay which includes already the boat ride to get to Taronga and the entrance ticket to the zoo.

You take a cable car to get to the zoo..what a view! taronga-zoo-6.jpg

Doyles

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

As suggested by Mayette and Francis, we ate in Doyles at the Sydney Fish Market.  It was a Sunday so there were a lot of people at the market.  

My personal favorite was the fish and chips!  Fish and Chips is good all over Sydney!   What Mom could not understand was why they did not serve malt vinegar with the fish and chips…..hmmm… so she bought her own bottle at the supermarket and she brings it with her wherever we go!  in case we see any fish and chips around 🙂
