Welcome to the world of Kcatz!

Yup, these are official Hello Kitty stamps I purchased in Japan on my Christmas 2009 trip. They come in ¥50 (~ US$0.55) & ¥80 (~ US$0.85). You can actually use these stamps for mailing, but I'm gonna keep them with my other Hello Kitty collections.
Check out the ♥ shape one! Super kawaii, eh? ;)

Christmas 2009 is over, but take a moment to read so you can start 2010 in the right path. Christmas is not just a year end holiday for exchanging gifts, singing Christmas carols, and decorating Christmas trees. It is definitely a time for celebration, but most important do you know whom to celebrate? Christmas marks the day when Jesus Christ was born to be our savior!

"I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. No one can come to the Father except through me." ~ John 14:6

What does it mean?
When you say YES, I believe...

1. He is the WAY - you decide to FOLLOW Him, receive Jesus as the only Savior - receive His Salvation.

2. He is the TRUTH - you TRUST and BELIEVE nothing but His Word alone. For His Word is the only truth and it is alpha & omega.

3. He is the LIFE - GODly life! you lead a RENEWED life as you choose to follow Him. You are a new creation with a brand new life. Out with the old and in with the new.

All these will lead you to the Father, who art in Heaven.

Refresh and start 2010 in John 14:6. I guarantee you won't regret it :)
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above." ~ James 1:17

A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. Spread the good news!

♥ PS: Don't say Xmas (X = cross = to eliminate). You don't want to eliminate Christmas, do you? You want to celebrate Christmas! So if you need to shorten it, please say or write C'mas instead.

明けましておめでとう!☺

When the clock strikes twelve on December 31st, people all over the world cheer & wish each other a very Happy New Year. For some, this event is no more than a change of a calendar. For others, the New Year symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow. Look forward to a good year ahead & spread happiness... ♥☮☺

The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul. ~G. K. Chesterton

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love, and joy!

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "NO" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without, so their family can have.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear
about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when
they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keeps turning
and a better place to live in.

They bring joy, hope, and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support
to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
However if there is one flaw in women,
it is that they forget their worth.

[God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you need...
to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be]

Hey, today is a special day...
Don't forget to show appreciation & tons of l♥ve to your daddy ☺

Dear DAD,
I think of you often,
and always with love
no matter where you are...

I think about
how hard you worked
and how much you did
for our family.

I grew up with feelings
of warmth and security,
knowing you always were there.

I remember
things you taught me
and times you encouraged me,
and I see how your wisdom
and sacrifice
helped shape the life I now lead.

I look back
on favorite memories
that remind me
how great of a father you were

A man who walked
a road that was rough
and wouldn't dare settle
for just good enough,
who pushed on
when most wouldn't bother

Thank heaven for a wonderful man
to be proud of and cherish
and thank every day
my life through.

Even though you were not here today
your spirit is...
you are always in my heart
I love you and
truly miss you, Dad.

[Being a father is not about being Superman.
It's about being there when it mattered most.]

“Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work.”
[Jeremiah 1:5]

God has a master plan,
And all of us play a special role in it.
Today is to celebrate the part where I came in *yipee!*

Today... open the gift of another year,
of new beginnings, new possibilities,
new dreams coming true!

When we believe in God’s plan,
every age is the perfect age to be.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
~ Abraham Lincoln

"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a gift -- that's why it is called the PRESENT."

It's the time of the year again when I give thanks for another year of life.
Looking back at the years I've taken for granted, it makes me realize that LIFE is the greatest gift of all!

God gives us time
for our stories to be told,
for our journeys to be made,
for our purpose to unfold.

God gives us time to grow stronger in His grace,
to become who we are born to be;
to find our unique place on His creation

God made us different
from every other person in the world
on purpose

Birthday is a day for celebrating
our lives, and all the unique plans God has for us
Each birthday is a blessing from the Lord

With God in our world,
we aren’t accidents
or incidents;
we are gifts to the world,
divine works of art,
signed by God Himself.

Let's celebrate a day
alive with promise,
rich with possibilities,
filled with the wonder
of His love for us.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.
[James 1:17]

MOM,

I should tell you more often how much I l♥ve you
and how lucky I am to be your daughter --
So much that's good about my life today
comes from having a Mom who cares enough
to raise me right and has l♥ved me
through thick and thin...

I can't imagine what my life would be like
if I didn't have a Mom like you.
You've shown me
the true meaning of unselfishness
and the value of l♥ve.
You're indeed a blessing in my life!

I feel so fortunate to have you, Mom
and I could never thank you enough
for all the care you've given and
the unconditional love you've shown
over the years...
for all the big and little ways
your wisdom and your constant support
have made a difference in my life --
for all the sacrifices you've made,
for all the wonderful memories
you've given our family...
I will always be so proud and grateful,
and you will always have
a special place in my life and in my heart

Though miles may come between us,
no distance can take away
the feelings that keep us close
in the ways that really count
in our thoughts,
in our memories,
and most of all,
in our hearts
There's no such thing
as "far apart"
when there's a bond
from heart to heart...
Family treasures,
too precious to measure

Most meaningful parts of my life
have been shared with you and
I miss you very much
Wish I was there to celebrate Mother's Day with you
I L♥VE you, Mom and I always will

For all the things you are,
of all you do,
may God bless you
in many ways each day
the whole year through

I'm truly blessed with lifelong gifts of love,
whose other name is "Mother."

'I have not stopped giving thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers.'
[Ephesians 1:16]

X♥X♥,

~KC ☺
