Talking about reading, DID YOU KNOW…

Reading is a large town and unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of Berkshire, England.

The name probably comes from the Readingas, an Anglo-Saxon tribe whose name means Reada’s People in Old English, or less probably the Celtic Rhydd-Inge, meaning Ford over the River.

By 1525, Reading was the largest town in Berkshire, and tax returns show that Reading was the 10th largest town in England when measured by taxable wealth.

The town continued to expand in the 20th century, annexing Caversham across the River Thames in Oxfordshire in 1911.

“Angry people are not always wise.” 

Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Portrait of Jane Austen, drawn by her sister Cassandra (c. 1810) – Wikipedia

Jane Austen attended Reading Ladies Boarding School, based in the Abbey Gateway, in 1784–86.

“Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much.”

Oscar Wilde

Photograph taken in 1882 by Napoleon Saron – Wikipedia

Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in Reading Gaol from 1895–97.

After his release, he lived in exile in France and wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol, based on his experience of the execution of Charles Wooldridge, carried out in Reading Gaol whilst he was imprisoned there.

“Just because you’re offended, doesn’t mean you’re right.” 

Ricky Gervais

Gervais at Comedy Central’s “Night of Too Many Stars” in 2010 – Wikipedia

Ricky Gervais is from Reading.

He made the film Cemetery Junction, which, although filmed elsewhere in the UK, is set in 1970s Reading and is named after a busy junction in East Reading.

Here’s another version of the song “Happy” to share with all you lovely souls out there before ending this post:

Have a wonderful day ahead and be happy, always!

Till then,

Understanding The Importance of Saying ‘THANK YOU’

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another?

Life is the same way.

In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.

~ Ralph Marston

A few lovely souls have shared their love with this humble blog of ours during December 2013 by showering us with many lovely award nominations but we’ve failed to thank them in time before Year 2013.

Please be assured that all award nominations, though not being addressed in time, will never, ever be neglected. We just want to come out with some different ways to thank all lovely souls for sharing their love with us.

None of us got to where we are alone.

Whether the assistance we received was obvious or subtle,

Acknowledging someone’s help is a big part of understanding

The importance of saying

THANK YOU

~ Harvey Mackay

Once again, a big thank you to all these lovely souls for sharing their love with us:

A Little Something Extra For Someone…

A blog (or web log)  is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first).

Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).

The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or ‘journalers’.

Blogs have also had an influence on minority languages, bringing together scattered speakers and learners; this is particularly so with blogs in Gaelic languages. Minority language publishing can find its audience through inexpensive blogging.

On 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence.

On 13 October 2012, there were around 77 million Tumblr  and 56.6 million WordPress  blogs in existence worldwide.

Clouds N Cups Wants To Say…

It is really an honour for Clouds N Cups to be able to receive the award nomination for the ‘Blog-Of-The-Year-2013′ from three very lovely souls.

However, before drafting the addressing post for this lovely award nomination, there is a need to dedicate an addressing post to all the lovely souls who have bestowed our two blogs (Share With Us and Be With Us) with many lovely award nominations in which we have yet to address in year 2013...ε=ε=ε=┌(;*´Д`)ﾉ…sorry…

Just the other day, I’ve stumbled upon a slideshow titled “7 Ways To Say Thank You” from the Dictionary.com App of my mobile phone which is very interesting.

Thus, we would love to dedicate this very long post to all those lovely souls using these seven ways of expressing our sincere gratitude:

THANK YOU

This small but mighty phrase which dates from the 15th century goes a long way in acknowledging kindness big and small.

The less formal variation ‘Thank’ was often used to mean ‘thought’ or ‘good will’ before it first appeared in one of Shakespeare’s writings.

GRACIAS

This Spanish word for “thank you” shares roots with the English word ‘grace’ in the form of the Latin gratus, which means “pleasing” or “agreeable”.

MAHALO

To infuse your gratitude with some tropical flavour, try Mahalo, which is a Hawaiian word meaning thanks, gratitude, admiration, praise, esteem, regards, or respects.

According to Wikipedia, some sources support that the meanings “thanks” and “gratitude” were appended to the word following contact with Westerners since early visitors noted that the Hawaiians were generous and grateful people, but had no word to express gratitude or to say “thank you”.

Therefore, though the word mahalo is found in Lorrin Andrews’ 1865 dictionary, the English-Hawaiian section does not provide any Hawaiian word intended to mean gratitude or thanks.

ARIGATOU

The easiest phrase of gratitude is domo — an adverb that literally means indeed or very much but can be understood as thank you.  If you want to express a greater-than-normal degree of gratitude, you can use one of the longer, more fully-spelled-out phrases, like Arigatou gozaimasu or Domo arigatou gozaimasu.(www.dummies.com)

This Japanese term for “thank you” was famously set to music in the 1983 song “Mr. Roboto”, about a rock-and-roll performer disguised as a robot escaping a futuristic prison.

• (12 July 2013) Yoshiko @ Yoshiko (for our Clouds N Cups, Be With Us Blog)

MERCI

A cousin of the English word mercy, this French word for “thank you” is often paired with ‘beaucoup’ for emphasis.

Another variation is ‘mille fois merci’ which translates literally to “a thousand times thanks” and is akin to the English phrase “thanks a million”.

TA

The perfect solution for the grateful but taciturn, ta is a British colloquialism ushered into the English lexicon by toddlers and it is being described as “the natural infantile sound of gratitude”.

As according to Wiki.answers, it is a slang word for thanks, a result of the heavy Danish influence on the English language. Most people do not realize that the English language roots are really Danish or Jutland.

DANKE

Las Vegas crooner Wayne Newton put this German word for “thank you” on the tips of English-speaking tongues with his 1963 hit “Danke Schoen”.

In this expression, “schoen” means “beautifully” in the same way in English. 

The German expression is often translated as “thank you very much” or “thank you kindly”.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you.

To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.

Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you.

Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.

~ Ralph Marston 

Last but not least, since I am a Chinese…

Have a great day and thankful day ahead, always!

Till then,

Cheers & TTFN~ 😀

Be Loved…

This lovely award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. 

Although the stats indicated that we’ve almost 3000 lovely souls following us at this moment,

We’re pretty sure the actual and more realistic figure would still be under 200.

Therefore, we are still feeling very much loved to be able to receive this award nomination.

As according to the rules, there are questions to be answered but since we’ve received five nominations for this award, we will choose a question (if any) to answer from their addressing posts.

Liebster =  Beloved

We are very thankful to receive this award nomination from Yoshiko @ YOSHIKO

The question that we’ve picked from her addressing post is

“How do you find my site?”

Yoshiko has a very lovely blog where she can share with us by expressing out all the ups and downs in life via her poetry. So, a big thumb up for her lovely site/blog. You can also visit her other blog @ Daylight Tune Ministries. Another lovely blog for us to ponder about ourselves via her poetry. 

Liebster =  Sweetest

We are very thankful to receive this award nomination from J25code2 @ YOUR LOVE PILLS

The question that we’ve picked from their addressing post is

“Tell me one moment when you were the best version of you?”

Whenever tears start rolling down uncontrollably while I am watching/reading/listening to something that has touched my heart (not necessarily a sad story/event), I guess it might not have been the best version of myself, but at least I knew it would be the truest version of myself.

Liebster =  Kindest

‘

We are very thankful to receive this award nomination from Ajaytao @ AJAYTAO 2010

The question that we’ve picked from his addressing post is

“Have you ever taken a long distance train trip?”

(⇀‸↼‶) No….have not even taken a train before…(⇀‸↼‶)

‘

Liebster =  Valued

‘

We are very thankful to receive this award nomination from Vijay Shah @ HALF EATEN MIND

The question that we’ve picked from his addressing post is

 “What was your first job?”

As I was about to type out the job that I’ve taken while waiting for my GCE ‘O’ LEVEL result, I remembered that my actual first job was being a door-to-door salesperson selling some kind of beverage at the age of six.

ヽ(´▽`)/ Awww…my first $5 earned!! ヽ(´▽`)/

 ‘

Liebster =  Lovely

 ‘

We are very thankful to receive this award nomination from Nelay @ THE WORLD OF NELAYISH

The question that we’ve picked from her addressing post is

“Define your fashion style.” 

ヽ(´ー｀)ノ …SIMPLE & COMFY… ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

 ‘

This post is supposed to be the fourth part of “Things I’ve Written Back Then” but since there is still a list of nominations that we’ve not yet to address, we’ve decided to to start the week with this addressing post.

Last but not least, we would like to dedicate this post to all the lovely souls who have helped with the voting/re-voting for the ‘Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center’ because you lovely souls are

SIMPLY THE SWEETEST AND THE KINDEST

Dreams Are My Reality…

(Wikipedia) REALITY is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined.

REALITY is often contrasted with…

What is imaginary…

Delusional…

(Only) in the mind…

Dreams…

What is False…

What is Fictional…

Or What is Abstract…

BUT, A GENIUS ONCE SAID…

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
~ Albert Einstein

May it be real, a dream or just an illusion;

we are thankful to have two lovely souls turning our reality into a very lovely dream!

 pleisbilongtumi @ CIGUDEG pleis bilong tu mi

A lovely soul who loves sharing all beautiful things around him. 

A reality filled with fragrant and beauty!

petrel41 @ Dear Kitty. Some blog

A lovely soul who loves sharing many things that are now around the world.

A reality filled with awareness!

Now, we would love to make this dedication to a lovely soul who has made this award addressing post possible:

John Drybred @ Drybred Quips

I’ve been visiting this lovely blog for quite a while and John is always very kind to leave us a comment whenever we visited him. It all started with a simple “thank you” comment and now he would sometime share with us his wonderful experiences during his younger days in his lovely comments.

As suggested by the name of this blog, it consists of mainly quips written by John. However, recently he has started trying out some mini fictions and the first one – In and Out – simply etched into my heart and thus we decided to share with you lovely souls in our usual manner 😉

A Big Thank You To John For Making This Post Possible!

We do hope you all would enjoy this story as much as we do:

• Death Defying (His second mini fiction)

Life and death are one thread

The same line viewed from different sides.
~ Lao Tzu 

The reality of staying alive, is in fact, waiting for death. 

It is not the length, but the values learned in life that matter.

So, while we are still alive and kicking

 Let’s turn those values into our

R(eal) E(nergizing) A(mazing) L(ovely) I(nspiring) T(ouching) Y(earning)!

We just simply cannot end this post without sharing a song related to “REALITY”!

Do enjoy this lovely song and have a great day ahead, always!

Till then,

Cheers & TTFN~ 😀

What I’ve Learnt After Watching Kungfu Panda 2…

“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”

That’s what Murphy’s Law has stated…

When life throws us a lemon, what do you do with it?

A glass of icy lemonade perhaps?

How about a freshly baked lemon tart instead?

Maybe the glass of lemonade might just need a little more sugar?

It’s okay, we’ll just add more sugar until it tastes right…

Or perhaps the lemon tart might just be a little over baked?

It’s okay, there will be many more lemons to be thrown to us in life…

We can always bake another one…

If anything that can really go wrong, will really go wrong…

We may not be able to prevent it from going wrong…

We will just need to spend more time to learn how to make it right…again…

And that is how…INNER PEACE can slowly be attained via receiving all those lemons.

PEACE IS A FREE CHOICE 

Each one has to find his peace from within.

And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

 Mahatma Gandhi

Have a lovely and peaceful day ahead!

NAMASTE!

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

The light & heat of the sun

These are composed of minute atoms which

When they are shoved off

Lose no time in shooting right across the inter space of air in the direction imparted by the shove.

There are many sources of light.

The most common light sources are thermal.

A simple thermal source is sunlight.

The above are extracted from Wikipedia.

But the source of light for this humble blog of ours definitely comes from the readership support from all the lovely souls out there.

And the following are the extra sources of light bestowed to us by some very sweet souls

One Big Family

We have another powerful photo provided by a lovely soul, Ajaytao and do pardon me for my OCD kicking in by placing the following words from the lyrics of Madonna’s Take A Bow:

Blue Mask – Matt Marquez @ Ajaytao 2010

Loneliness is a complex and usually unpleasant emotional response to isolation.

Loneliness typically includes anxious feelings about a lack of connections or communications with other beings, both in the present and extending into the future.

As such, loneliness can be felt even when surrounded by other people.

There is a difference between being alone and being lonely.

Being alone is being away from others because you choose to.

Being lonely is when there is no one there for you.

~ Unknown

I love being alone at times, but do I ever feel lonely?

Why would I be feeling that when…

As according to Wikipedia, one of the primary functions of the family is to produce and reproduce persons, biologically and/or socially.

Therefore, I would like to thank

A Lovely Lady Who Loves The Nature…

The Presents of Presence

A Strong Lady Who Sends Out Love In Her Unique Ways…

Ajaytao

An Inspiring Soul…

for this lovely award nomination.

As according to the creator of this award, Shaun@http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com:

“This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family” I started this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can.

The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before.

This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family.

It is my honor to start this award.”               

It is thus our honour to have the following lovely souls joining us in this big family:

There are many other lovely souls that we would love list down, unfortunately I am currently down with a flu (first day…gosh!) and this is as far as my concentration could take me.

If you’ve managed to spot your name in the above lists, do feel free to spread this family love so that there won’t be any more lonely souls out there.

Last but not least, we would like to thank lovely Ajaytao, aristonorganic & Yvonne for including us into their WP family and once again to Ajaytao for making this post possible. 😀

Till Then,

Cheers & TTFN~ 😀
