The White Rose

-Written by Sweets*

At first, ѕιℓνι caught my attention because she looked so pretty in pink.

But after I clicked on her profile, I realized that it was mainly her personality 

that had attracted my attention to her. It seems that many times I am able to sense 

the goodness that people carry in their hearts even before 

I get to know more about them. This I see as a gift, like a kindness detector.

Miracles do exist!

  They happen every day to all of us. 

But unfortunately, they go unnoticed due to the busy and fast lives we live in.

We should all take a moment during our day to count our blessings 

and be thankful for what we have.

A little story I wrote...

The White Rose

A tiny seed falls from the sky, gliding smoothly through the clouds. 

Finally, she lands on the peak of the highest mountain. 

The landing was rough since the whole land was covered with ice. 

She stays there, motionless for a moment. 

The sun, seeing this, sends bright and warm rays over her. 

Suddenly, the seed blooms into a beautiful white rose, and looking at the land she smiles. 

The sun keeps her warm during the day by hugging her with his rays.

At the end of the day, it is time for the sun to go. 

He promises her that he will return every day to keep her warm and says goodbye. 

Night falls, bringing a snowstorm. It has no mercy on the beautiful rose. 

All night she shivers and she can barely breathe with the harsh temperatures. 

Finally, the day arrives again. The sun searches for the rose and finds her buried under the snow. 

He sends again rays of light and warmth to her. 

The snow that covers the rose starts to melt. 

But the rose is already dying. She looks up at the sun and thanks him for his kindness. 

The sun starts to cry, feeling hopeless.

The rose looks up to him with a smile and says... 

"Don't cry my good friend, I had a good life. 

I was given a home to live in that looks as white as the sky. 

I got to feel the breeze play with my petals and I was given a wonderful friend. 

I felt your love for me in the warmth of your rays. You lit my world, my dear friend. "

Then she closed her eyes... and she was gone.

In my story, you will find miracles, blessings, gratitude, friendship, and love.

My little white rose never complained but was always thankful for what she had. 

The Butterfly

=Written by Sweets*

"Oh how I love to feel those butterflies tickling my tummy"

You know, the ones you feel from the inside when something makes you happy.

Let me tell you a story...

Once upon a shiny day, as I stood at the top of a multi-colored flower-covered hill, 

overlooking the fields of fluffy cotton, I suddenly remembered something funny. 

I laughed so much that a yellow butterfly flew right into my mouth. 

AGH and I swallowed it... GULP!

But don't think the butterfly died. No, no, no!

I could feel her flying inside me for days. Every time she would go to my stomach, 

I would feel tickles that would make me so happy. And every time she would fly in my ears 

I would hear the most beautiful laughter of children 

and all the sounds that our Lord created as the music of nature. 

You know, like the wind, the birds, and even the sound of the fallen leaf.

The butterfly continued traveling inside of me for days and days. 

 And every time she wanted to take a look at the outside, she would travel to my eyes 

which caused me to see the beauty in everything.  Traveling inside my hands 

would provoke in me the need to give the warmest caress to my loved ones.

The best part was when she reached my heart. 

That is when my love increased in gigantic proportions like an abundant fountain of love 

to give away to anyone that needed it.

I could tell that this butterfly was happy living inside of me. 

And I felt honored that she had chosen me to touch with her beautiful magic.

One day, however, my special butterfly was ready to fly away into the world 

in search of another person that would be willing to let her in. 

Her work with me was done. She had come inside me to teach me and give me the gift of love. 

I was not saddened by her leaving me but I was glad that another person would be blessed 

as I was by being touched by her.

Please keep your hearts open to my yellow butterfly <333

~*~

Beauty is that that causes a smile and a warm feeling.

Here are three pictures I had been saving in my files for a while now. 

Every time I would see them they reminded me of my yellow butterfly.

Laughter- what a joy. It is like when your body can't take it anymore 

and it erupts in fireworks of happy moments.

The Lovely Heart Room

Left-to-right: ✥Ĺx-MyLife✥, ebeechan (from Indonesia), Aphrolea ♫♪♫♪ (from Indonesia), ♫N†N♫ kiki ™ (from Netherlands) and crystal$$$$$$@ (from USA)

Once again PINK takes over another Model Room. This time, it was the new LOVELY HEART ROOM that was totally tinted in this tender color. I just wonder, if its called The Lovely Heart Room, and the heart is red, why is this model room pink? hhhmmm.... Don't get me wrong, I love pink but RED is my all-time favorite color!

As soon as I noticed this new room had opened up I put on my Pink Romantic Princess Dress and my comfy Romantic Fluffy Room Slippers, grabbed my Lovely Bear and away I went! Once I arrived at the overly pink destination, I noticed a group of friends having a fun day enjoying the wonderful accommodations the room had to offer.

This new Model Room has a second floor with a stairways made out entirely of Romantic Mini Roses. I would had never imagine that the numerous amount of roses I got from the Romantic Bath Room and I still have saved in my Decor Pocket could possibly be used in such a BEAUTIFUL way. Going up through this Rose Stairs felt like I was caught in a rain of roses. I just had to stop and breathe in all the beauty.



Once I finally overcame the ROSY STAIRWAYS experience and made it to the top floor, another group of friends greeted me. This time it was our handsome boy Łight ϓagami, his beautiful companion ♬ Кαї ♬ from Japan, and the Zelestial Princess Océane♡ from France.



I decide to check out our robotic "SHOP" friend, and at soon as SHE saw me, ( I am assuming SHOP is a SHE, due to the color), she so stubbornly tried to convinced me that "Pink is the best ..." NAH HA!!! I had to set her straight by defending my FAVE red and blue and green and yellow and orange and purple and ...

Well, you get the idea. ;)

Now, what do you get when you add one stubborn SHOP plus a stubborn SWEET_MOM? You get an endless disagreement of opinions. Like a slap on the face, SHOP so carelessly tells me that "Shopping is fun ..." It is when you have Ameba Gold, however, when you are completely broke like me it is plain cruel to rub it in my face :P

As I was getting ready to leave, I bump into the beautiful du¢ky...♪™ from Great Britain, owner of the WONDERFUL Ducky's guide 2 Pico Blog. After a very interesting chat, we decided to take a picture together in this fabulous room. I wonder if she will be posting our picture in her blog?

Okay, this is not what it looks like ... okay, okay, it is! Our "NEW" friend emmnuel got me off-guard and planted me a BIG kiss while I was busy cropping my pictures. Who can blame the guy. In this ROMANTIC PINK-OTIC atmosphere you can't help feeling romantic and kissing whoever is standing next to you. Emmnuel may be a NEWBIE with zero buddies, but we both can say he came into Pico with a big BANG. He got to kiss sweet_mom on his first day ... LOL! After my "FRIENDLY" experience with Emmnuel. I decided to stick around for a while and see what other AMAZING Picos I would get to meet. 



Soon I realized that it was painful to stick around. Our beautiful friend 桂衣✿ from Germany was on a shopping spree while all I could do was stand on the side and watch her fill up her shopping cart with beautiful things. Every time she dropped something into her cart I would say, "I want that ... and that ... and that too", but she was too busy shopping to realize that she was breaking my heart.

Now guess who was the STAR of the room? No, I didn't say who was holding the star in the room. >:( I said WHO WAS THE STAR IN THE ROOM??? That would be our friend みパン☺（mipan。）from Japan. She was truly the star because she blended perfectly with this PINK room.



Have you ever bumped into someone that is just sooo extraordinary that you want to so much to impress them and end up doing something foolish? I did when I bumped into paedoubleu from Thailand. As soon as I saw her I did my Flying Monkey Routine - as Catero would say - but I see it more as The Chicken Dance though ... LOL!



Feeling a little tired, I soon fell asleep and immediately started dreaming of all the beautiful things I wanted to buy. The overalls, the heart rug, the chair, the ... EVERYTHING!

Getting over excited about all the beautiful things I wanted, I ran for the door. I needed to get home and find my husband's ... I mean, OUR wallet. ;) Oh, I love that wallet sooo much. :P

The problem was that I was trying to push open the door and I never noticed the "PULL" sign until someone felt sorry for me and opened the door letting me out. I ran all the way home like a crazy goat to only find that my dear WALLET, I mean my husband wasn't home. :(

Catman and Bittersweet Woman

Story inspired by 朝田龍太郎's room

When darkness falls and Pico sleeps Catero Catman appears. He roams in the dark to fight the Pico villains. The Scammer and Cheater. Dark Trouble maker, The Evil Body Snatcher and Cute Content Thief. Still, all of them comes to second, when his worst enemy sweet_mom I mean Bittersweet Woman appears.



She heard of the enormous diamond that is being kept at the Pico City Hall and she wants to get her hands on it. He stands strong blocking the way and sword to protect the shiny stone from the "sweet"-looking villain.



Bittersweet Woman tries to get past Catman, but he is determined not to let her get her way. They go into battle instantly. He uses his martial arts skills, however she tries to beat him with her bear hugs.



Somehow Bittersweet Woman manages to slip by and gets to the stone. Catman yells at the top of his lungs, "You better run ... because here I come!"



The dark villainess gets away - fortunately without the stone. Our hero chases after her, knowing he must bring Bittersweet Woman down. Once again she goes for a deathly bear hug, but he is just too quick for her.



Realizing that the her special most doesn't work on him, so Bittersweet Woman goes for a kick; sending her rival flying into the air almost like a "flying Cat".



The pair chase each other to the top of the building. Bittersweet Woman slips and almost falls, but Catman grabs her by the hand and pulls her back up, saving her life ... she wonders, "What's going on?"

Is this a LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP???



Bittersweet Woman is so thankful for the kind action of her nemesis, while all he can do is think, "Why did I just do that? She's always kicking my butt! I should have let her fall!"



Still determined to walk away with ill-begotten goods, the wily woman sees a Golden Mushroom in the sky; turning to tell him, "You can keep the STONE, this mushroom is mine!"

The city's defender is not listening to her. He is still in shock. This was his opportunity to get rid of her, and instead he saved her life. "WHAT A GOOFBALL!"



Catman sits to rest knowing that the STONE is safe. Bittersweet Woman sees her chance to finally give him her special move - the bear hug. Poor guy now he is stuck putting up with her. Why did he had to go and save her life?



Now that they are friends, they sit side by side. She'll be giving him alot of hugs and he'll be always regretting wasting the golden opportunity that only comes once in a life time.... getting rid of sweet_mom Bittersweet Woman.

Pico City, goodnight ...

She's Alive!

Earlier this afternoon I was in Catero's room working on my next post while he was working on a very special project that he is preparing for our blog.

Our good friends [♥]Breezy[♥] and ☆Vince♫Further stopped  by to say hi and since Catero and I were kind of busy we excused ourselves to continue with our work.

While we were AFK, яø¢ḱ﹩and jennifer я also made a special appearance. After a while I decided to check back on what was going on and what I saw made me laughed so much that I decided to hang around (QUIETLY) and see what would happen ...

(My commentary is in purple and looks like this.)

[Breezy pokes Catero's eye!]
(14:46) [♥]Breezy[♥]: :o

At this point they focus all their attention on me, trying to pester me. I was sitting on the other side of the room so I wouldn't be in the way while I worked.

(14:48) [♥]Breezy[♥]: MAMA LUIGI
(14:48) ☆Vince♫Further: huh?

What A Goofball!

I had been trying all afternoon to make Catero understand what a BIG GOOFBALL he really is. He seemed clueless to what I was talking about, and had a face of  "SAAAYYY WHAAATTT?"

At that point I realized I had to reinforce my intervention with Catero on what a BIG goofball he is if I wanted to save him.



So I called our good friend Peggy Hill, and together we work at making him understand our GOOFBALL opinion on him. We put in front of him the many times he has proven us right, and still he refused to accept the truth.



He goes into one of his GOOFBALL FITS and starts kicking away, which just made me laugh while he repeatedly stated "I AM NO GOOFBALL >:( "



I turn to see if Peggy Hill is laughing too at his display of GOOFBALL FIT. But as always she had fallen into boredom with our constent quarrels and had fallen asleep.



Suddenly my sweet girl  ~LittleCara~ stops by to say hello, but Catero keeps acting like the TOTAL GOOFBALL he really is and doesn't care we've got company.



Once our guest left, I desperately try to put some sense into his BIG PAPA HEAD.... "CAT accepted it once and for all "...
1. You act like a GOOFBALL all the time.
2. You look like a GOOFBALL all the time.

SO YOU MUST BE A GOOFBALL! :P



He left not wanting to see the truth ...

Oh well, I give up!

Why... Why Me :(

Ok, this is what happened yesterday, TRUE STORY!
I get to my room ALL HAPPY because earlier yesterday, I had the MOST WONDERFUL VISIT from my SWEET ANGEL, little did I know that my PICO WORLD would be turning upside down in a matter of minutes...

I get a visit from three young girls letting me know about this new Xmas Skate Rink Park that had just opened. Immediately I decide to go and check it out!



Of course THIS new park was AMAZING, but soon I realized that I was COMPLETELY BROKE :(
My Pico wallet was completely empty. I needed AG PRONTO to get the items needed in order to TRULY ENJOY this park.



I try so desperately to MAYBE sweet talk GACHA into giving me a TOKEN to get at least the skates. After spending all my 2500 gummies in useless tries, I was left even MORE broke.
I cried and cried  for my sad misfortune and people around me just stood there LAUGHING at poor me :(



I just couldn't believe my luck!
A day before I had spent ALL the AMEBA GOLD I had left, and now I wish Pico Shops would accept returns on items, but THEY DON'T >:(



All I wanted to do was skate, IS THAT SO WRONG???



My SADNESS turned into ANGER when I realized I had to wait till THURSDAY to get AG. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!

LESSONS LEARNED ;)
1. We can NOT ALWAYS get what we want in life... and IT'S OK, it's NOT the END OF THE WORLD.
2. We have to LEARN to WAIT. Sometimes the things we want might take longer to come but it's OK, it's still NOT the END OF THE WORLD.
3. There are OTHER things more IMPORTANT in LIFE than materialistic things.
For example.... my SWEET ANGELS wonderful visit beats ANYTHING else I can get in PICO ;)

NOW I AM HAPPY :D

The Mushroom Task :)

What a WONDERFUL surprise it was to be greeted by a very special INVITATION from Mr. Shepherd from New Zealand!



Faster than lightning I travel to The Pet Farm in New Zealand to meet with
Mr.Shepherd. Like always he received me with a BIG smile :D

He explained to me that he was getting too old, therefore, he needed help collecting MUSHROOMS to feed SANTA'S REINDEER.

And if you know me, I am always WILLING and READY to help anyone that needs help. He provided me with a beautiful basket where I was to bring him  SEVEN mushrooms.

So off to The Mushroom Forest I went to look for Mr. Shepherd's grandson TONY!



I was so glad to see so MANY Picos wanting to help Mr. Shepherd with the task of collecting mushrooms!

ALWAYS REMEMBER that is very COOL to help out whenever we can especially our ELDERLY ;)



After my good boy TONY explained to me how to find and collect the mushrooms, I went to work. I remember the POOR Reindeer, they must be HUNGRY!

With every mushroom I would find, it would bring me great satisfaction for a job WELL DONE :)



BEWARE of the BLACK MUSHROOMS, they are poisonous and if you mistakenly pick one up, your body will go into an IMMEDIATE COMPULSION. Luckily this effect lasts a split second and after, you are back to normal.



Before returning to Mr. Shepherd,  I said goodbye to Tony. He talked to me about the GOLDEN MUSHROOMS.....hmmm, interesting :O

But that will have to wait for another day. I was eager to give Mr. Shepherd his mushrooms and than start MINGLING WITH MY PICOS.



On my arrival back at The Pet Farm, Mr. Shepherd thanked me for the mushrooms and asked me to return for the next days to help him with this WONDERFUL task. Of course I will, you can count on me ;)

And off I went skipping and singing all the way to MINGLE WITH MY PICOS!!!
