Belated Merry Christmas And A Happy, Blessed, Prosperous & Safe New Year!

To all my very dear friends and family, my belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Prosperous, Blessed and Safe New Year to you all!

At last, I am slowly settling in my new place and I'm back to doing one of the things that I truly and genuinely love -- i.e. enjoy working and sharing those things about our beloved places: Oceania/Pacific Islands. I am now able to utilise my computer again to catch up with what's happening in beautiful Oceania/Pacific Islands and their wonderful and beautiful people :-) Also, I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to thank all my dear and beloved friends and relatives who took the time to write and to remind me that I am getting older hehehe!! Just kidding! To all of you my dear and wonderful friends, I thank you so very much for your kind words, with much love and appreciation. Louisa, Rosa, Johanna, my dear niece Jane Taafaki, Aileen in beautiful Canberra, etc. -- thank you so much for your most kind words and for your most appreciated best wishes on my 21st birthday!!! Did I say, 21st ??? hehehe!! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you - no words can adequately express my very sincere appreciation and gratitude. On my birthday, I remembered you all with much love and I truly felt as though we were still out there together on our beautiful islands - Kiribati, Tuvalu, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, etc. - and Taborio, Tarawa, with my dear IHC friends, laughing and enjoying ourselves, swimming out there in that beautiful lagoon trying to catch some fish to go with ara ben, te moimoto ma te mori ke? - hehehe :-) A rang ni kamaeu taai akanne ke? So much to share and I also thank those wonderful friends who have all been so very supportive during 2010. Thank you so much to you all.

My very sincere thanks go to you, my dear friend, Nigel Quai from Vanuatu, for your very beautiful words, your sharing your daughter, Vanessa's fantastic CDs (including other CDs by Vanuatu artists) - they are all now playing on our Pacific Islands Radio Stations - along with your most kind, supportive and encouraging e-mails - much appreciated.

By the way, the two Newsletters, both Jane's Oceania Home Page and Jane's Pacific Islands Radio - that I promised to send out before Christmas 2010 - my apologies for the delay - I just did not have much time as I was in between two home addresses :-) They will now be sent out to all members and friends in a few days -be assured that, I shall get there very soon, eventually, I promise, now that I am able to work on my computer, at my new address :-) Thanks and the Best to all!

That's all for now my dear friends and take care -- enjoy your day - and 2011!!! Happy New Year!
