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.

on packages, scrapbooks and dogs =)

Just the other day, I asked my brother to pick up 2 packages for me from the local post office.  Look what I have here!  =)

I just got my long-awaited package from Artscow and National Geographic!  So excited to have these items after waiting for 3 long months!    The keychain, I already attached to my car keys while the NG fleece jacket needs to wait for the owner arriving in ~2 mos =) (yes, dear hubby, it's for you!).

In the past few days, I rekindled my love affair with traditional scrapbooking.  It all started when i horded a couple of scrapbooking items from National Bookstore due to the SALE!  Here are all the items I bought.  Take note, these are just what I bought for the past 2 days.   I haven't really photographed all of my scrapbooking items yet =).

 ahem!  some of my works! =)

 During Mom's birthday, I had a field day taking pictures of our dogs.  Erm, rather, my mom forced me to. hehehe!  She told me she wanted to make a picture album of our dogs =).  Well, that's what you expect from a frustrated-waiting-to-be-one-grandma! =)
