Maldita, Rocky, and Lucy

Category: Retail Therapy, SnapshotsMinay @ 3:42 am

In my previous post I posted a picture of the shapeless blouse from Maldita. I wore it today for work and after-work coffee chica with friends. I got so many compliments over it! Here it is as worn:

Yeah I know, it’s time for a digital camera and a tripod. My laptop is practically attached to my hip, meaning I just don’t don’t have enough muscle power to lug around my laptop AND DSLR everyday. Plus, I’m camera shy, although it’s not evident in the picture above. Haha. I’m thinking of gifting myself a slim and light digicam and just save my DSLR for travel, events, or whenever I feel shutterbugging.

It was raining so hard so the boyfriends were forced to drive us to our chica date. Hahaha. Anyway,  one of the  boyfriends’ current project is training a Cocker Spaniel. My boyfriend owns a Siberian Husky named Rocky, so-called because his mom is a Stallone fan. They once adopted an askal (dog from the streets), which they named Rambo, but Rocky kept beating him up so they had to return poor Rambo to his original owner. :(

Me and my friend had girltalk while the boyfriends talked about work which for some reason led to a discussion on pets.

Pets are wonderful don’t you agree? My theory is pets remain adorable no matter how old they get because they’re like babies that never age. Unlike humans that are so hard to please as they age, pets when trained and cared for tend to become loyal followers who go berserk-happy over a ball, a shoe, or whatever piece of junk they fancy.

Here’s Rocky. I love him but I wish I could have seen him when he was a puppy. He’s only a year and nine months old, but he’s such a big and strong dog! My boyfriend is quite a big guy, 6ft and 200 pounds yet Rocky can knock him down! Rocky’s fond of rough play which includes using human hands as a teether (he doesn’t actually sink his teeth in, it’s just his way of being affectionate). I only pet him when he’s too sleepy or lazy to move.

Meet Rocky!

I’d like to get a dog also eventually (I want a pug or a Lab), but Lucy will get jealous. Lucy is our cat, but I don’t think she knows she’s not a member of our species.

Lucy's butt!

Hahaha. Lucy is 12 years old. She grew up in Illinois. My grandmother brought her home here in the Philippines. We love her a lot, and fear the day we have to say goodbye. :( She recently lost a lot of weight and has been acting eccentric lately. Not sickly, or any manifestation of old age. Just weird. Let’s just say she likes her cat food, but is regressing to her primal ways. Hahaha. Here’s her at close up:

Lucy, a natural model :)

How about you guys? Do you have a pet and what’s the weirdest thing you have ever seen your pet do?

I try not to work in front of Lucy, whenever she feels that you’re doing something ’serious’, she’ll get up and lie on top of your keyboard, or she makes a bed out of important-looking documents. Rocky in the meanwhile does a lot of weird stuff, I don’t have all day to blog about it. Hahaha.

Itchy feet…

Category: Picture Book, Snapshots, TravelMinay @ 9:31 pm

…sounds gross. But what I mean is, I want to pack my bags and travel somewhere away from the urban jungle. I used to travel quite often for work, but I had to prioritize a couple of things for a while. Now I’m getting this strong feeling of wanderlust again. I can’t keep still.

Below is a picture I took with my dingy point and shoot camera in 2007. Behind that wall of fog is Mt. Kinabalu, at the bottom of the picture you’ll see two figures who just finished a climb. It’s a beautiful, beautiful, place. And so cold and damp that you can see your breath! I can remember standing at the edge of the lookout point and taking big gulps of the cold air. I miss it and would not mind going back for a second round. I stayed in Kota Kinabalu for a week for work! It was like 25% work, 75% leisure. People were so friendly, and the food mostly consisted of seafood! My favorite! Blisssss. I WANT AND NEED A VACATION!!! Huhuhu.

Now I’m back to the real world of deadlines. I hope I get a travel assignment soon. *cross fingers*

Picture Book: Chinatown

Category: Picture Book, Snapshots, TravelMinay @ 8:02 am

I recently found out I can’t have a life til’ Thursday. My doctor advises lotsa bedrest. But what she doesn’t know is that staying in one position the whole damn day will just stress me out. *sigh*

On the bright side, my wifi unit is working again. *twirl*. Hehehe.

Here’s a couple of pictures of Singapore’s Chinatown that I’ve been meaning to share.  Hope y’all like it.

DOGGIES!!! I LOVE!
