June 14, 2008

My morning seatmate and nightly katambay after the primetime newscast.

You were the only one I knew when I started at the morning show.

Laughed at my mistakes, even if it was only typoerrors.

But corrected me afterwards

Supported me whenever I need backup.

Guided me when I’m confused of what to do.

Advised me of which choice to pick.

Kept me company when I’m alone.

You shared your blessings together with treats, coffee etc.

(I love the free coffee).

You shared your shortcomings to which I listened

We enjoyed sharing all the chismis, jokes,

all those morning power naps, back massage and non-stop kulitans.

Today as you lie in peace,

I‘m sure you will be missed.

Farewell Porchy.

I’ve been excited for weeks to finally get my hands on my own D80.  Last Friday, my friend Christian accompanied me to Quiapo to buy this thing.  Yippee!!!  Then I spent my weekend studying each button and getting used to it!!! Wow! I can’t wait for my 1st photo shoot….

Rainbow Bridge

February 23, 2008

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

the puppies died

Nag-labor si tria kaning madaling araw. It was my dog’s first time. Since we just moved in to a new house wala ako masyadong alam na vet clinic na malapit.  it was around four am, when I saw something coming out, I panicked. I rushed her to a clinic, which was just a block away. The vet used to sleep there. This time walang vet. So we moved to another (sa my e.rod), luckily, there was a vet available to attend my dog. binigyan sya ang pangpahilab, which was injected. After a few minutes ‘di pa din lumalabas completely, so hinatak ng vet yung puppy. The puppy was adorable. Female red minipin. Not breathing. pinunasan ny ang bulak, i was looking for something na panghigop sa nose. kaya lang bulak lang meron sya.the vet said na patay daw yun. naisip ko, siguro naipit or something kaya patay.
 
Then came the next pup. nahihirapan yung si tria kaya another injection. Something was out again, a balloon watery thing, pinilit uli hatakin ng vet, pumutok tapos tubig yung laman. sobrang worried na ko, sabi ko wag na hilahin, kase nasasaktan yung baby ko. After a few minutes, hinatak uli, may bilog pa na kulay darkdark red, I was worried na baka pumutok uli. nagtanong ako, "doc, di ba baka mamatay yung puppy pagpumutok yan" hinihila parin, then may intervals tapos hila uli. pumutok nga, blood na yung lumabas. takot na ko nun. tapos hinihila parin nya, sabi nya deformed daw yung puppy. kaya he keeps on pulling. then nakalabas na. napaiyak ako, when I saw the puppy’s head crushed. Male black/tan sa kakahila… then i begged na half na lang payment, kase dead naman yung puppies. pumayag naman, tapos pinapirma ako ng waiver, di ko na masyado naintindihan, sa antok…pagod.. Depressed…
 
then i rushed my dog sa vet nya before back in our old place. pinakita ko yung puppies sabi nung vet kamamatay lang daw nung red. buhay daw yung nung nilabas kaya lang di daw binigyan ng oxygen. kase di naman daw talaga minsa himihinga yung mga pups paglabas, you have to revive it pa. tapos yung isa pinilit hilahin. its obvious.
 
Its so depressing… its my first time sana to have puppies from my dog. i have prepared things the puppies might need. sobrang excited panaman ako. Since wala pa kaming baby ng husband ko, sobrang mahal na mahal ko yung dog ko. It’s our baby’s puppies, kaya were keeping all of it. kaya lang this happened.

You can view my multiply for the pictures.

preggy tria

February 19, 2008

 It’s Tria’s 61st day of pregnancy and I’m super nervous to the nth power. Feels like I’m the one giving birth. I don’t know what to do. Grrrr… I hate this feeling! I can’t help the always-tense feeling even at work. We’re always looking for the possible whelping signs so that we can rush her to the nearest vet available.  

Some people advised me to have her board the vet clinic so that anytime she gives birth, the vet will be there to assist. But I don’t want her to get stressed, because they might just leave her in a cold cage while waiting for it. She’ll be more comfortable here sleeping in her bed.

I have prepared everything. The vitamins, right food that’s best for the puppies and stuff that I think is needed… puppy bed, towels, bag (which includes the taxi fare and house keys) that she’ll be in on her way to the vet. So that if ever I’m not home when it happens, the maid can bring her to the vet.

Call me over exaggerated. But I think it’s the mutual feeling of first time moms (or should I call grandmom?) of my ever dearest furbaby. Her x-ray says that she’ll have two, but its not that clear, Bryant says that she’ll probably have three.  But for me, I don’t care of how many puppies she’ll bring into this world as long as they’re all healthy.

"i wanna be a supermodel"

February 1, 2008

"I don’t care what my teacher says
I’m gonna be a supermodel
And everyone is gonna dress like me
Wait and see
When I’m a supermodel…"

First stanza yan ng paborito naming kanta ng best friend kong si kookaii, when were in high school. Inspired by the movie "clueless" (ang corny noh, yan ang usong movie nun, ‘di ka in pag ‘di mo pa napanood yan!), sabay naming pinanangarap na maging ka level sina tyra banks at naomi campbell (sama mo na rin si alek weck).

Late November last year when Kitten (also a high school friend, now works for a bridal magazine) texted me, pictorial daw…

"saan?"

 "…San Juan."

"kelan?"

" …bukas. bring white tube, hair and make-up lang for tatin’s story…"

"Sigurado ka? ako?"

"Oo ikaw!" 

Hmmmm… "Sure! experience lang!"

The next day, I asked Mark (seatmate ko sa office), na ihatid ako sa studio after the show.

Late na ko nun,walang kasama, walang kausap.

Pinaupo na ako sa harap ng salaming maraming ilaw para ayusan… pang-model!

Nakakahiya. Ako lang ata ang hindi model. Ang galing nilang mag-pose. 

Nyaiks… wala akong tube. Hmmm… improvise! Tinupi ko yung sando ko. Presto! Tube na!

Ako na… ‘di ko alam gagawin. Buti na lang magaling mag-motivate yung photographer. Ang gaganda ng picture ko sa monitor.

Next session… ako na uli. Motivated na. Parang manikang madaming nakatutok, sinisuklayan, minemake-upan, inaayusan… sarap ng feeling…

Iingitin ko si kookaii.

‘di na ko takot sa tuko

January 24, 2008

    I love going to Batangas when I was a kid, non-stop street games to the max ang favorite pastime ko. No one can make me stay indoors except for one thing… Tuko… and pinakamabisang panakot sakin (bukod sa ipis).

    There are so many myths about this reptile. It will stick to your skin and leave an ugly mark that you will regret for the rest of your life. Hearing its voice… tukkku… tukkku. I thought of it as an animal with brown soggy skin, yellow eyes, looks close to a fierce croc, and two feet long. Big enough for a 5 to 7 year old kid (just like me way back then). I have maintained this image in my mind since then.

I have almost forgot about this.  

Today is happy hayop Thursday. We have this segment about pets, this morning we have different kinds of geckos. the infamous tuko is one of them. The myth is broken! I finally saw it for the first time! and it’s far from I imagined. In fact it’s a cute creature. Here’s a proof!!! Matapang na ko! I have finally conquered my fear!

emo

January 23, 2008

“Why do birds suddenly appear? Every time you are near. Just like me, they long to be close to you…”

I have to admit that it’s killing me! I miss him. I miss him.  It’s the first time we got separated this long since we got married last month.  Corny noh? It has been two days and I’ll still be waiting for three looong months. It’s pretty different living together on our own.

This is the third time he went out of the country; I should be used to it. It always feels the first time each time he  leaves. I am having a hard time going to sleep and coping up with things not having him aside.

(eto na naman) back in my old home… I can easily turn my attention to other stuff, like playing to the kids or just having a plain conversation with my Lola. Here, I can feel his absence easily. I sleep alone, eat with the maid, watch TV alone … everything alone! I easily get stressed and feel a lot more sensitive about my emotions (emotera ako ngayon kumbaga!). I hate this feeling.

monster incorporated

May one-eyed monster sa room na to!!!

He only sees himself.

He uses his big floppy ears, prying on to his victims.

He has a "bigmouth" that can swallow you whole.

He has many hands.

 One handles a girl magnet that he thinks works. He feels good proving himself macho gwapito (e.g. flirting with his tropa’s girl), but he’s the exact opposite. He loves meddling in things and situations, even if he’s not needed. Then if something goes wrong, he goes missing in action and plays dedma.

One has a big sharp meat trimmer that stabs people at the back, this one works bigtime!!!

One hand has a mirror.  He’s loves to look good among those above him, agrees to what they say, laughs their jokes, and nods at every shore but acts oppositely at their backs.

One have an artist’s paint brush, because he really wants to be one and really think he’s creative, even people say he’s not.

The other hands are empty, but snatches things you have in mind.

He’s Mr. Knows-it-all and thinks he’s really really good at everything. He’s only tiny, but thinks as himself humongous.

This monster is really really scary. You'll only know him when you meet him. Watch out, you might catch me snooping behind your back.

out & in

January 18, 2008

 

I have so many wonderful thoughts about moving in to a new home and a sad feeling when it comes to moving out of the old one.

 OUT: I will definitely miss the house where I grew and the comfy feeling that my cousins and Lola bring whenever something depresses me. I’m sure they will miss me too. It’s kinda sad that I will be leaving them, with the thought that there will be no one to take care of my Lola like I did. The kids will have nothing to play with when I bring the console and portable games with me (of course will bring them, I had a hard time saving money to buy those). There will be no one that will regularly bring them to the mall at weekends just to eat at Mcdo or buy stuff that they like (hehe! I’m such a spoiler). I’m sure will visit them every weekend or whenever I have free time.

 IN: It’s both happy and tiring to move in to a new house and start a new life with my honey. We had so much fun shopping for furniture, appliances and stuff for our apartment. I wish I can do this more often. So much for the enjoyment… we ran out of money! Whew… thank God I have a supermom that has a big heart (and pocket) that came to the rescue when we ran out of budget. Arranging things. Cleaning this and that. Moving this to there. Haaay… So tiring. Afterwards we had coffee and stare at the place. It’s worth it…

home sweet home

January 14, 2008

Back in my old abode…

Market, grocery, drugstore, hardware, church, parlor, fastfood chains, bakeshops, LRT station… they’re all just a block away. The mall and the hospital are walking distance. The animal clinic and pet shop were two LRT stations away. Jeepneys and trikes are just around the corner. I can almost reach everything within my reach (except for my place of work). Haaay… my old place was more convenient than the sari-sari store.

It’s pretty hard to adjust to a new environment. Here, it’s the exact opposite.

There is only one sari-sari store, which only sells RC cola and e-load then closes around 7 in the evening. 711 is the only grocery near but it’s still 5 minutes walk. Everything else is so far. There are no jeepneys or trikes around. Cabs are the only means of transpo. The only thing close enough is the office. Well, I don’t have to travel for an hour just to go to work. We still don’t have internet and landline. I’m in the middle of the metro, but it feels like I’m far from civilization.

This morning I applied for the PLDT internet bundle. I called this afternoon and they told me that my application is already approved and I can have my payments done right away. Yippee! They’ll be installing it within this week till next week. What a nice birthday gift this is. I can’t wait to call my friends or surf the net. I’m so excited!

1st post

January 13, 2008

 

New Year, new life, new house, new age, new blog…

It’s been a while since I blogged (been busy with the wedding preps and moving in to our rented apartment). I almost forgot its therapeutic benefits. This year, the whole world changes… so much have happened… so many things to blog about. We’ll better get started…
