Poker Face

It's kinda weird when people think I'm a snob, when I just look at them without any expression on my face. This song reflects me, reflects who I am.

This song has been on air for ages yet I just realized that I love it, especially now that I'm emotionally drained, I'll give you a poker face.

I Love You Goodbye

Good morning, it's already 1:27 AM from the corner of our office. I started out my day with not much anticipation, just another busy day, whole day of work does stresses me a lot.

Until I let myself relax a bit and scrolled Youtube for nice videoke songs that I love singing with. Voila, this video struck me the most, I know, I'm so emotional right now, and can't think right. I'm so drained, for some reason that I don't really know.

So, here, let me share with you a video of a very emotional rendition of I Love You Goodbye, originally sang by Celine Dion.

Graduation from Rabies (for now, wink wink)

This post is a few days late, it was supposed to be posted last Saturday but I have so many things to do that day and the days after it. I'm so happy that finally, I get to complete my 5 dosage of anti-rabies, though I'm not comfortable around syringes and doctors but I was able to conquer my fear and patiently followed the doctor's instructions, and Jeff's as well (arrggghhh). As a graduation gift, the doctor gave me a yellow mug with the ABC's(Animal Bite Center) logo at the back. I'll post the picture some other time. However, the scar of what Aia did to me is still visible and I don't think it'll disappear anytime soon. Geeezz... I'm tired.. better get back to work..

Confirmation of our Palawan Adventure

My college friends made plans last year that we'll go to Palawan this December. However, it seems Irish won't be home from Dubai till next year, Jona and I are not communicating, err.. not in good terms and Thet will be leaving for Chicago after her wedding. So, I just thought that we'll have to make other plans instead of going to Palawan, we'll probably try Bora, but I still have to discuss this with Jeff.

After a small chitchat with Joms yesterday in Trinoma I found out that she and her husband already booked for a Palawan trip on December on a promo from Cebu Pacific. She convinced me to check the flight is still available and I just nodded, thinking that the promo might have just ended and I won't be able to get seats for us.

Early today while preparing for lunch, Jeff reminded me of my conversation with Joms, I checked the site and tried to get flight informations and voila, it's still available. Apparently, to my dismay, I don't have any credit cards, one of the things I don't get to have because of being a freelancer. Good thing Joms let me use her CC to purchase two round trip tickets to Palawan, and we'll be seated right at their back. And it's confirmed, we'll be leaving on December 3 and be back to Manila on December 5. I'm hoping the trip will be fun..

Kiko is Punished

It's Friday morning and I started our really early. I always wake up at 6 AM and I don't know why, it doesn't matter if I slept really late or earlier than my usual sleeping hours, I would always find myself waking up at 6 in the morning.

I remembered one thing from last night, I didn't feed my dogs. Why? Because I found them, especially Kiko smothering our trash. I knew it was Kiko all along because Aia never liked trash. I don't know what kind of environment Kiko grew from but it's really bothering me how he was treated before I took im.

I had to put his leash on as his punishment and I didn't feed both of them just to let them know who's the boss, I hope they realize that. I placed water where he could easily get it. He'll be on the leash for the next two days and I'm not gonna give in with his cries. I know he never liked being on his leash but what can a pet owner like me do, it's just one of the punishments I'm forced to do, he needs to learn his lesson... very well..

Glad to See Her Again

After over 10 years I met Thet again. Thet is my college friend, together with Jomai, Irish and Jona. We've had so many memories together, apparently she had to leave for Chicago when her family migrated for better opportunities.

Years passed we never heard from Thet. The last few phone calls I had with her she mentioned that she's studying Bachelors in Nursing course, very far from our Engineering course.

Thanks to new technologies and the internet, we were able to communicate. Now, finally after more than 10 years we went out with her fiance, my husband and Jomai. I miss her so..

I'll be posting our pictures soon.. Congratulations and Best Wishes.

Happy Birthday MIL

I was about to blog about Angels and Demons since Jeff and I watched it yesterday in Trinoma, on it's first showing day, however, I just felt so happy that I'll just have to greet my Mother-in-Law a Happy happy birthday. We picked them up in SM North Edsa after Angels and Demons and went straight home. It was fun. They today, we decided to take a dip in Villa Erlinda, which had been my weekly habit. It's unfortunate that Jonathan's not there, MIL's second son, but overall it's still fun to have them here. Again, Happy Birthday mom!

Plurker and Twitter

I'm new in Twitter and Plurk, I heard it's one of the best social networking sites available, aside from FB, FS, Multiply and MySpace.


And as a new Plurker let me invite you to my Plurks.



And to my Twitter account.

Restaurant City - My Current Addiction

I've been so busy with a lot of things lately, including succumbing into my latest addiction, Restaurant City of Facebook. For months, most of my friendster friends sent request messages that I try FB, for some reason, I don't have the patience to create and maintain a new account aside from my blog and my FS account.

Recently, Jona mentioned that she's already a member and maintaining a pet in Pet Society, I still didn't give in. Just last week I saw in GT that there's a Restaurant City game within FB, I got so curious when I read through the posts of my fellow GT girls, it's a restaurant game that you have control over a lot of things. So, I joined FB and started playing the game last week. In the pic is my current status. I'm so loving it that the first thing I do in the morning is open my resto and feed my employees. After a week of addiction I'm at level 16 at nearing the 17th level with an additional employee.

So, why not join in.

One Fateful Saturday

Sometimes I wonder if it's a mistake caring for animals, is it something that I should be proud of, or is it just a curse?

I've always wanted a pet as a young kid. I would always tell mom to either buy me little birdies, puppies, cats, even chicks. I'm always fascinated by the fact that I can take care of them and grow them to be my pet, my only pet. Till I reached my high school years, I would always bring stray cats home and feed them, since then our neighbors would bring kitties to us thinking that we would adopt them too.

Upon reaching college, I brought at the least, 4 pups and only 2 survived. The last pet I brought to our home is a lhasa apso breed who really brought happiness to our home. When I moved out I started caring for bunnies, they are oh so cute, apparently, I wasn't ready for such responsibility. I had three, Yael died upon reaching his first month, Lola died and I wasn't there for her when she passed away. I blamed myself for their deaths, I wasn't always there for them, that's the problem. Jeff gave me another bunny, Ebe, because I wasn't ready for another one, Ebe became so sickly and malnourished, I decided to give him to a friend with his cage and all.

By the time he got me Ebe he also brought home Aia, my pet dog. Aia is such a baby, she would always bring the worse in me. One time when I was washing clothes, I left Aia in our sala so I could go out and finish washing our clothes, when I came back everything was in a mess. To my surprise, I nearly broke her leg out of anger. I would often blame my work because I can't find the time to feed her on time or even walk her in the morning. Aia became a headache, Jeff and I would always fight about her because she wasn't trained to poop and would really bite everything. I stood up for her because she's my baby, my only baby left. When we moved out of the house and transferred to a smaller house, I had the chance to train her. She's doing a lot better in pooping because I was there to train her, I already resigned that time.

We then moved to a new place, a better one, here in Bulacan. Now, Aia can move freely without being scolded. She can poop and pee anytime she wants to, I even got her a brother, Kiko, we just got him over a week ago.


Until that fateful Saturday, just three days ago. This stupid idea came to me that I should train Aia to go out without a leash. I let her walk out of the gate while I was carrying a big bag of trash, Jeff was just watching us. I tried calling her name so she could go back, to no avail. Aia just walked and walked without noticing me. It's as if she didn't know me at all. So, out of concern that she might get lost, I tried grabbing her collar, to my surprise she bit my hand. When I realized this, I pulled my hand from her mouth which made the wound even worse, it's at the least two inches long. As Jeff told me yesterday, I was so surprise that I couldn't say anything, I just stood there and watch Jeff hit Aia with something. I nearly cried, not because the wound was painful, but because I take care of Aia as I would've for a child, my child, and she bit me.

Jeff rushed me to an Animal Bite Center here in Marilao, I had to get shots again, for anti rabis and anti tetanus. We spent almost a thousand for the shots and I will have 4 more shots in the next couple of weeks. Aia is on her leash since Saturday and we have to observe if she'll die or something. Now, I don't know what to do with her. I still feed her, give her attention but instincts tell me that I shouldn't touch her, she might bite me again.

Caring for animals bring me joy but up to what extent should I care for them? I'm just lost right now.
