For me, it is illuminating your days and tying to warm your hearts<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With much love, on the eve of your REAL birthday (contrary to the earlier silly post from last week shown further below), Bambi would like to offer you Roula a song about the recipe of happiness by &#8220;<em>Les Enfantastiques<\/em>&#8220;. Yes indeed, in few hours in Beirut, it will be March 10. Finally, your real birthday :)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today happens to also be a day of celebrations at your end. If Bambi recalls well. It is <em>The Teacher&#8217;s Day<\/em> in Lebanon, even if it is harder for the country&#8217;s teachers to rejoice in the overwhelming economic crisis. Best wishes to all of them, including you as a university professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for being who you are to so many of us. For Bambi, you are a sunshine of a loving big sister as well as a friend. Two in one. What can Bambi ask for more from life? Maybe another sister? Well, she is blessed to have that as well [hello Rania :)].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song &#8220;<em>Recipe of Happiness<\/em>&#8221; is in French [&#8220;<em>La recette du bonheur<\/em>&#8220;]. It is followed by the English &#8220;recipe&#8221;, thanks to Mr. <em>Google Translate<\/em>. Mind you, the latter wishes you a Happy Birthday, Roula. Believe it or not, he asked Bambi to send you his warm regards [just like &#8220;<em>Zaanjar<\/em>&#8221; of our childhood :)]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed
