Friends in Glasses

Double pairs of three blind mice, hahaha, actually this is a gang of fierce housewives.


Friends, in sports injury or in good health, in wins and losses, in gossips or in truth, off-line or on-line . . .

Genes Reunited, Part II

Today, we feature Manuel. Manuel is a little boy whom Joaqui, my pet dog, met at the fun match of miniature schnauzers that was held in a newly renovated and upgraded mall in Makati, Metro Manila.

Manuel , to my surprise, is the twin brother of Enrique. Now who's Enrique to my dogs? Joaqui doesn't know him but Jasper does. Jasper is my other pet dog.

The idea is kinda cute. Jasper meeting Enrique in a dog show and Joaqui meeting the twin brother, Manuel in this dog show.

Manuel wasn't sure if he wants to be friends with Joaqui, 'coz Joaqui looks fierce, what with that beard.
Taking a step closer to Joaqui, Manuel realizes the dog is not a threat.

Testing the water, Manuel offers his hand to make friends as Joaqui looks on, seems like he's giving it some thought.

Manuel, looks him straight in the eyes, assuring him it's okay to be friends with little boys like him.
Manuel let's Joaqui be familiarized with him, his smell, his touch. Hmmm.
Now, they're friends.

Good boy, ET. No Manuel, he's name is Joaqui.

Genes Reunited, Part I

Whoof! Whoof! Whoof!
















Tsup! The photo shows my pet dog kissing his new-found friend, Enrique, at one of the dog shows he joined.

My dog seemed to be always barking on kids. Maybe because the kids themselves are noisy and always in action, reflecting playfulness which my dog loves.

But here, he kisses the little boy who requested a photo with him.

My dog, barely a year old, has recently been added to the list of Philippine Champion Dogs. I am like a mother, so proud of a son.

I have a confession to make. I am not fond of dogs, or pets, so to say. When I was young, I remember my father taking care of an eagle and ducklings on the side. My older sister had a rock lobster and a Korean bug, while my brother had a rabbit and some guinea pigs. My mother took care of a dog who was a gift to my sister. How does one choose a pet, if ever he or she does decide on having one? I never had a pet of my own. I do not know how to care for a pet, what more a dog who is like a child. I needed some pet care information right away.

However, I always make the best of everything that comes my way. And what do you know, everything can be learned, if you put your heart in it (or if you have no choice). Even if I don't admit it, I am now into this pet thingy, dogs specifically.

Having my pets (surprise, I have two), did add color and graphics (flea ticks) to my life and my home. Way to go!!!

Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.

newhorizon??? New Horizon Of Friends

Expanded my horizon of friendship, now with young dudes. They say you get to feel young (and hopefully be young yourself), when you hang out with the youth.

These guys and gals are super cool. But of course they kept on calling me Tita, out of respect. That's okay. I like their energy and their ability to just do what they want to do without hesitating (though at times I think they get conscious, you know how it is to be young). The young ones, now, are truly courageous, knowledgeable and seem to be ready to conquer the world and be just themselves.

I salute the youth and I pray that they make this a better world in their own unique ways.

Find Old School Friends . . . Reunited and Updated

Have been missing out on the organized mini reunions of my high school batch mates. Was able to attend just one grand reunion like ages ago. Finally, got the opportunity to be with my dear high school friends after three decades. What a blessing! We just tried out a tiny group of four for start, just to make sure it will push through. Schedules are really tight. Even the venue is a pain to select.

Seeing each other after all those years (31 years, the last time we saw each other we were just 7 years old I think or am I having some mental lapses, super senior moments here). Wow, we started to recall the good old days . . . instant flashbacks. Reviewed our girl scout camping and investiture, CAT/COCC trainings, birthday parties of the olden days, teachers, tests, unforgettable classmates, batchmates, schoolmates and matching events.

Our lunch meeting spread to a span of eight hours of updating and story-telling, so much catching up. We hope to see our other school mates, however, it's really tough to brew up a "get-together".
