How come everytime I write here, it's either I'm depressed, sad, or bored?  Haha.  That's the reason why blogs are made.  It's where you write your innermost thoughts.  Anyway, enough about it.

Things have been pretty much the same lately.  Except that hubby and I started focusing on riding our bikes!  We even had our first taste of trail biking at Nuvali, Sta Rosa last Sunday where we participated in the Men's Health All Terrain 20km bike race.  It  was fun, fun, fun! =)  As first times and as riders who didn't practice at all, I think we did pretty well. We were able to finish the race although I think we belonged at the bottom list. =P  I got a few bruises  on my legs after falling twice.  I call them... battle bruises =).  We will be joining races pretty soon but we need to have hubby's bike repaired first.  Also, we might try the trails in McKinley hills soon. =)

By the way, did I mention we have malayan box and red ear turtles as pets?  Oh!  And a ball phyton too!  =P  I was really against having a snake for a pet!!! I know you dearies will agree to that.  The first two days we had 'snakey', he was able to get out of his cage!  Twice!!! Imagine the horror when I found out that 'snakey' was on the loose inside our house.  Usually, I'm the first to get up in the morning so I check on 'snakey' if he's still there in the cage.  Anyway, I was walking in our living room and kitchen with a snake on the loose!  Luckily, hubby was able to find him before I get panic attacks.  For now, I'm adjusted to having a snake INSIDE the house.  But, I rarely touch him =P .  Maybe, only on occasions when I get drunk or brave or both =).

As mentioned previously, I am still a stay-at-home wifey.  Hubby and I talked about me getting a job while waiting for our little one to come.  It took a lot of convincing before he finally agreed BUT provided that the next job will only be around the vicinity.  Talk about small opportunities.. ugh!  My line of work is in the manufacturing industry and you can rarely see a mfg company in the city.  Sometimes, you need to go to nearby provinces just to get a job.  But still, I'm hoping.  I hope to find a job to keep me busy and to finance our hobbies!! =)  There's nothing like earning your own money, right? 

Time to end my post.  House chores are calling.. TTYL! =)

on puppy love

Yesterday, as I was driving on our way to the mall, mom and I saw 2 dogs (1 white and 1 brown) on the street.  The white one was lying down while the brown dog was just standing nearby.  When I saw the dogs, I immediately exclaimed "Oh no, anong nangyare? (Oh no, what happened?)".  I don't know whether the white dog was run over by a vehicle or have some sort of illness but you know, he was just there, lying down on the street while the brown dog has no plans in leaving.  It looks like he was even watching over the white one.  So, I went ahead, got some money out of the ATM machine a few meters away, all the while thinking about what I saw.  When I got in the car, I glanced at the rear view mirror and I still saw them!  You might be asking why I didn't stop by to help??  I can't coz as much as I love dogs, I don't usually get close to potential stray dogs for my own safety.  It's better to have professionals handling that.  Though, I still feel realllyyy bad leaving them like that =(.


I remember an email that was forwarded before about a similar situation wherein a dog took guard by never leaving the side of the dog that was run over by a vehicle.  I think the photos where from China.  Going back, I am soooo amazed and sooo touched with the dedication that I saw from the brown dog.   You can never, EVER underestimate what LOVE can do.  LOVE works wonders and it makes the world go round =) !

On another note, I wonder who the owners of those dogs.  I believe in responsible ownership and getting one means you have SOLE responsibility to take care of them, feed them, play with them and love them.  If you can't do any of those, then, give your pet up for adoption. And in the first place, you should never consider getting a pet if you know you can't do any of those.  Also, we have PAWS here in the Philippines to help us.  At the end of it all, we should remember that our pets consider us as their humans.  They give UNCONDITIONAL LOVE to us, we are, after all, their ONLY human.
