I was thinking of my blog this morning and amazing grace just flashed on my head. Immediately, I searched for it on Google and found this video of Leeann Rimes’ version of the Amazing Grace. I first thought that it was not Leeann on the video because I remembered her to be not that beautiful (and sexy) when her other song, “How Do I Live” became a hit in 1997! After that, I never knew any songs by her. So I searched again, and yes, not just she sang Amazing Grace soulfully, she also aged gracefully (she ironically looked younger compared to her photos in ‘97 - how I wish I’d be like her in ten years time!).

Anyways, I enjoyed her acapella version of Amazing Grace so much, and it truly touched me. So I am sharing the video and the lyrics with you of this truly magnificent song, just please pause the Bossa Nova music first at the bottom of the sidebar. Here it is: […]

I am currently using a free hit counter located at the bottom of my sidebar under Footprints to log all the hits of all those visiting Beautifulandhappy. It’s a free hit counter but that’s what it only offers - counting. It works fine at the beginning, but then I realize that I can gain some more from my blog statistics!

I had a drink yesterday because it was my brother Allan’s 27th bday. Together with my future stepmom and sister Len, we finished off a bottle of chilled chardonnay, a Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay Pinoit Noir that I brought home from Australia 2 years ago. I remember my last drink before yesterday was about a year ago when my BFF Chix went home here last year from Oz before going to the US. She treated me and other high school buddies for a nice drink in a bar somewhere in Ortigas - the last one I had for years!

Now I just wonder how wines are named? Why only after males? This one we had is Jacob’s Creek, and I also tasted before another Australian wine, Lindemans. Now I wonder, if the owners of Lindemans wine is related to the U.S. millionaire George Lindemann hehe.  Just a wild thought, a slight hang over maybe? LOLS.

I am not an alcoholic, as you can see, but I know there are lots of people out there who are suffering from alcoholism - and depend their existence on a bottle of spirit. I know it won’t be easy, but if you’re suffering from alcohol dependence, please seek help before you totally destroy your life and your family. Don’t hold on to that bottle, hold on to God. I hope the following Bible verses help, which I (not-)accidentally found, hence my post about alcohol today:
