S.S.S.

Sometimes our cat is known as the "Three S's", as Silly Skitty Scotty.
Don't ask me why...

This is a clear example of why we call him that way...

I was told cats eat mice... but I guess this one isn't normal.

Any doubts?

I didn't know wood was that nutritious...

If that's what happens when you eat sticks, I really don't want to try it.

He certainly seems to like it... maybe with a pinch of salt...

There, he falls asleep after that...

I do not advise sleeping in that position... next thing you'll know is, you'll be rolling on the floor!

These pictures were taken last Saturday, a very warm, lazy and summerish day, and certainly, one had this wanting to sleep in the sun! Scotty did a great job at posing, so I thought I'd post them on the blog. =)

Thoughtful

Sara...

¿...quién sabe en qué están pensando...?

Algo Bonito

"Por una mirada un cielo;
por una sonrisa un mundo;
por un beso... ¡yo no sé
qué te diera por un beso!"

Gustavo Adolfo Béquer

Típica frase de nick de MSN. Lo he visto muchas veces cuando me conectaba, y solía pensar que era una frase popular inventada por cualquiera que estaba enamorado... pero el otro día, leyendo el enorme libro de mi hermana de "Rimas y Leyendas", de Béquer, vi este fragmento... y me quedé muy sorprendida.
¡Me gusta Béquer!

Update!!

Hellooooooooooooo everybody!
I've just been for a wonderful walk... it smells like spring!! And it's beautiful, really. I was able to pick a bunch of nice flowers and plants and I placed them on my desk.
I am writing a quick update, so you'll see I haven't disappeared from the face of this earth - not yet, anyway...
I will write a quick update on my life... I've been very busy lately studying and reading and writing a lot, so I haven't been much on the computer, only to check e-mail and do a couple of things... now I am back from a lovely walk, and before I start working, I said to myself, let's write an update!
Soooo what is new in my life? I'll be sixteen in two months, almost. =) I have learnt to use my Mummy's camera, and I have learnt how to play with my cat without it biting me all the time. I enjoy playing the flute more than ever, and I love spring, I really do...
As for my studies, I'll say I've had 10's in all the Maths exams I've had this semester, 10 in Biology as well, a 9'75 in Phyisics, a 9 in History, a 9 in Catalan, 9's and 8's in Spanish, and I think that's all... I have an exam next week, I had an exam yesterday, another today, so naturally, I don't know those marks yet.
I'm back to teaching English! And I have such a delightful time. It's lots of fun, and I like it better than last year.
And now, as I finish a delicious tea and stare dreamily out of the window, watching the white, cotton clouds sail the sky... I leave you to your own affairs...

Some New Blog

"My parents bought me a very cool camera, CANON Powershot A420, for an advanced birthday present. My birthday is in May, and we were going on holidays in April, so I asked them to buy it for me in advanced. And they did!! I've had the same camera for a year and a half, and then it broke down. Sniff.
So I decided to create a blog where I would post all the pictures I took in this time,

"So I can show the new world I discovered through the small window my camera is"

~Enjoy!!"

This is the explanation of a new blog. It's called A Window To Another World, and, as you can read, it's about pictures.
I invite you to visit it! But you need a special permission, so if you have a real interest in visiting it, send an e-mail to silvershadowofpalemoonlight@googlemail.com with the address I should send the invitation to, and I will be willing to send it to you!

Cat-a-coomb

That is, as a matter of fact, the new nickname Three S's has... (for those who haven't read any old post, Three S's goes for "Silly Skitty Scotty).
And these are new pictures of Catacoomb! :D

At first, he was kind of shy...

He definitively lost his shyness, though!

Ain't he the cutest Kittywums in the world!

The Excellence Of Wisdom

"But where shall wisdom be found?, and where is the place of understanding?
"Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
"The depth saith, It is not in me; and the sea saith, It is not with me.
"It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
"It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
"The gold and the crystal cannot equal it; and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
"No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls; for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
"The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shal it be valued with pure gold.
"Whence then cometh wisdom?, and where is the place of understanding?"

"God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof."

Job 28:12-20, 23

Happy

New

Year!

Best wishes, and God's blessings!

Welcome, 2009

This is the last post written in 2008!
A new year is going to star, with new things starting along with it, and old things finishing with it. Because,

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

You can't imagine how quickly has this year gone by to me. It seems like yesterday we all gathered around the clock downstairs and waited for it to struck twelve. I remember everything.
And now we'll be starting a new year!

2008 has been a great blessing to me. I've learnt many new lessons and have grown to love God more and more each day.
This year's been different from all other years; I'm not sure why and I couldn't explain the reason why it appears to be different, but it is. My life used to be normal, but through this year many things have changed it; and I'm thankful because all these things have taught me many precious lessons, and I've grown to be a lot more patient; I've grown to trust a lot more; I've learnt how to persevere; I've learnt so many other things that I cherish. God's plans for us are amazing!
Small glances to my 2008...

2008 brought to me all this and more. God has been great to me, and will continue to be so for the rest of my life. God is good!

Through this post, I want to wish all of you a

very happy New Year!!!

I hope you will have a blessed start and have a wonderful 2009, and remember, I love you all very much!

Farewell, 2008... Welcome, 2009!

Old CD's As Lights In The World

We were lately blessed to receive a visit from a Dutch lady that is a missionary among ship's crew in Alaska.
Among other things, she showed to us old CD's that were recorded in various languages.

It was a very simple contraption. The CD was in a cardboard envelope that could be unfolded. One of the sides had a sharp point stuck to it:

This point was placed on the CD, and placing whatever was round (in our case, a pen) in the hole on one of the sides of the white circle and starting to make the CD rotate, the Gospel could be heard.

The lady told me this was started when a lady went to preach in South America, and really enjoyed and loved it. One day she fell sick and had to go back to the USA. Her sickness was somewhat serious and she had to stay in bed for a while, and she became worried that the people she's preached to wouldn't hear the Good News any more, so she had her voice reading the Gospel recorded on these CD's in the language they spoke, and then had them sent to the village where she'd been. It was so easy to make them work that everybody could listen to God's word once again.
I really enjoyed her stay, and if you could pray for her and her work with the sailor men, I'm sure she would appreciate it!
