Our Doggie days
October 30, 2011
I was at the mall yesterday waiting for my sister. I waited at the pet shop and admired the dogs. It made me think the last dog that we had when I was still in college. We had a dog, sort of askal - asong kalye.
My brother used to personally take care of him and we named it “Kumag”. We might say that Kumag and my brother were pathologically bonded. Kumag was like a member of the household, watching TV with us on our 2nd floor then will go downstairs on his place when it was time to sleep. Our neighbors were so frightened with him as he always barked loudly whenever he smells or sees somebody who did not belong to the household.
My sister had a night schooling then at our province and she would be home around 10pm. Her school was about a kilometer away from our home and Kumag would always waited for her 2 blocks away from our home. Friends of my sister would always joked around whenever they sees Kumag waiting, they would say “Ayan na ang sundo mo”. My sister and Kumag would be walking home together every night after her school. We also talked to Kumag like a human being and he seemed to understand us.
After a while, my father decided to give Kumag to his friends due to his behaviour that when he encountered un-familiar faces, he not only barks but bite that person. My brother was crying when it was time for Kumag to transfer home. We didnt really want to give him away. Until now, we did not replaced Kumag. He always brought happy memories to the household stories.
Somebody says, most all of our relationship with our dog is emotional. Dogs draw us to them. There’s that doggie breath we remember when they were puppies, their total cuteness – not to mention they were so warm and cuddly as dogs and are still. It’s the whole package really! We feel like our dogs are very sensitive to our feelings. We pick up on this almost immediately. Come to think of it, if this sensitivity were not there, we probably wouldn’t have them as pets.
Power Tense Girls
Its All Saints Day again and the last week was full of Halloween parties. The company where work for was not an exception. We had our Treat or Trick last Thursday, October 27, 2011. It was weeks preparation for a day event. We just had our concluded departamental event and our energy were definitely deteriorating.
The tension around us was strong. We experienced uneasy feelings among our colleagues. There was clashed verbally and a disagreement over something trivial. We witnessed a one or two of our teammates behaved in less-than-ideal ways.
I was not around last Friday so I was not in privy if my Supervisor worked out the differences of each and everyone. She promised to sit and talk to the parties involved and even joked to let them kneel on salt. I hope something was resolved. I know that the emotion will not completely vanished but I hope they will try to meet halfway.
All of us have the right to work in a reasonably harmonious atmosphere.
Back to the Future
October 16, 2011Do you have a memorable childhood days? You might ask this question when you are already in your 30s or older.
Some maybe a sort of a blur to them, as if it was a thousand years ago. I guess it is mostly because they have lost all of their friends they had back then, so they have never talked about what they used to do, never reminisced, and all of this stuff have mostly been gone from their mind.
Others may have never seen no point of looking back, it’s only sad and doesn’t give them any good feelings at all. And they look at it as just one big lonely struggle. Monotony only broken by the occasional energy-draining crisis. There’s really very little good to look back on, not much worth remembering.
But others haven’t forgotten about theirs and still remembers everything perfectly chronologically and with great clarity. They have mostly fond memories of their early childhood. There might be some ugly moments, but they sort of blend in with the generally positive experience they had.
Looking back, it made us really think which isn’t always such an easy thing these days! But, good or bad, naughty or nice, it will always be great to share. Its like going back and bringing someone to those old days again full of discoveries and seld-realizations.

October 15, 2011I’ve been browsing the social networking site and as usual, some comments keep me entertained. Shout outs especially from my 15 year old niece from the province keep me thinking if she really mean those words. Sometimes, she is talking like somebody from another planet and it makes me realize how old I am, probably brought by our more than 2 decades generation gap (Ouch!!!).
Let me share you some of her status:
Sana nandito ka. MISS NA KITA T.T
Jolengs. üüü | *hahahahaha* sabay tanong: Ano Daw Sabe? xD — palike :”>
I was searching for TRUE LOVE but i couldn’t find one

Kung Mahal Mo Ako Sabihin Mo na. Baka Kasi Unahan Kita Kiligin ka pa xD.
Ganyan talaga kapag nag-aaway,
feeling mo ayaw mo na, suko ka na.
pero kapag nagbati na kayo,
maiisip mo na lang na MAS marami pala
ang MAGAGANDANG bagay sa relasyon niyo. ♥
Nakakainis ka, bakit kasi ang manhid mo? :/ <–PALIKE
Mawala na ang lahat, wag lang ang net. xD
Hindi lahat ng nakangiti MASAYA,ayaw lng nilang ipakita na malungkot sila
Nαkαkαsαkít dín pαlα αng thαnk чσu kαpαg ítσ αng sαgσt sα sαlítαng í lσvє u
Aanhin pa ang napakaraming nagkakandarapa sayo
kung hindi naman kasali dun ang kaisa-isang pinapangarap mo
Ang Sweet natin, Hindi naman tayo! :[
Ang Taong Inlove, Kung Maka-Imagine Sagad :”>

Well(ness) Wishes
October 8, 2011So, once again its been a while since I’ve written anything. My connection was cut due to recent typhoon and my unpaid 3 months bill (Arrgghhh!). Anyways, I’ve been busy trying to stay sane (at least!).
I ended up my first semester with the “Tagayan ng Grupo” and I have to pay the remaining fee for another semester for not finishing the 2 semesters. Imagine that! We were under the impression that something is not right with the “timpla ng inumin namin”. So after a couple of discussions. one by one, we decided that we don’t want to risk the chance of getting poisoned. We know, its kinda of waste. Maybe, some other time, we would be considering of sitting down again with our katomaan. After the poisoning scare, things have pretty much fallen back into the normal routine without nothing to worry every Wednesday of the week.
Today, I just came back from a fair. I had another vaccine and a little health and wellness pampering. Glad to found out my cholesterol a little lower. But my weight a little over (Ouch!!). I had facial and diamond feel, a l15 minutes hilot and I availed a promo for warts removal. So by next week, I will be visiting again the dermatologist to work on that tiny bumps on my neck and face.
While we were having our lunch, I asked my companion if she was in for an adventure and she lighted up saying “of course, wherever our feet can get”. While we were eating, I was texting friends asking for direction of our next destination. After our lunch, we took a cab and the driver asked us where we were going. I read the direction from my mobile and the driver commented “Ah alam ko yan, mahihirap ang pumupunta dun” and we replied “Mahirap nga lang po kami”. The driver then said “Tama, mahirap kayo, mahirap kayo kausapin kasi di ninyo alam ang pupuntahan nyo”. We all laughed but we were there in just 10 minutes. When we were paying our fare, we commented to the driver “Manong, siguro may date ka kasi nagmamadali kayo”.
In 2008, I heard about this place and I’ve been wanting to visit it since then but I never gotten had the chance to do it. It is a little out of way from where I was working then and very much far from where I lived. Then last September 23, 2011, I made a plan to go to this place since I learned it was its feast day. But then again, the person I was supposed to bring there refused to cooperate (well, I didnt told that person about my little plan, and I might over-estimated him. Or maybe I assumed too much when I requested for him to take a few hours “day off”) I just got a bit over-dramatic. I was really looking forward that I would go there on that date and afterwards I would be donating blood, which did not pushed through either. Its sad to to think that some things are never really an options and sometimes we cant do anything about it.
Anyways, somebody delivered my wish today (Very simple person with very simple wishes, that’s me… hahahaha). Me and my companion finally visited the place….the Padre Pio Church in LIbis. It was really unplanned schedule and I was out of dress code (again!). They are strictly observing the church dress code and I was given a shawl to use as a skirt. It was a bit early but there were many people inside, both able and disabled. We prayed, lined up and held the hands of Padre Pio and asked for his graces (I think He almost got deft with many graces that I asked and prayed for others
and I was too engrossed on praying for them I almost forgot mine). I even prayed to take away all the pains. We did not contented ourserlves in praying, we even lighted candles, read the history of St Pio, wrote a letter to Padre Pio and put it in a box with other requests. .
My companion endlessly thanking me for taking her to the Padre Pio Church saying I just fulfilled her wish of visiting the Church. And I said “No, Thank You…for being also a part of my overdue wish”, She told me that she will also be bringing her husband and another friend there soon. For me, I plan of visiting the Church again, probably with another friend or one of my sibling.
That was some kind of adventure and a really memorable one.
