Our Little Luna

Pets September 21, 2020 0

I can’t express how happy I feel. June 15th, my baby Cola gave birth to two little puppies but one of them didn’t make it, sad to say. I was actually on my way to work when my mom noticed that my dog’s probably gonna give birth because there’s something poking out of the vag area. I can’t really do much besides massage the belly for quite some time because as I said, WORK. Around noon I received the bad news that the puppy didn’t make it and Cola actually didn’t care much. I kept asking my sister to check for another puppy but she was like, no more. Okay.

I came home from work and I saw Cola at the doorway and I was just comforting her for maybe 30 minutes or so and I was also low-key massaging her tummy palpating if there’s still something inside. I was so sure that I felt a head or something. Anyway, I then decided to take her on a walk and that’s when I saw the placenta coming out of her vag! And I was like, this is impossible because my mom sent me a picture of the stillborn and it came out with the placenta.

I called my sister and for more than an hour, we massaged Cola’s tummy and tried to force her into labor if you may. Her water broke and still no sign of the puppy or anything. I don’t actually know if us being there made it easier for her or not but we delivered a puppy!! It was so small! I actually thought the puppy was dead because it took her a while to push this one out and it’s been like 12 hours since the first one came out, you know. But Mika said she saw the puppy gasp for air and that’s something she didn’t see of the first one. I was like, yeah you also said there’s no more puppy inside so I don’t know if I believe you at this point, lady.

We decided to name her Luna. Such a precious puppy! She’s almost three months now and it makes one wonder why am I only blogging about it now, yeah? Anyway, there’s that! I’m so hooked! I think I got an imprint on me whatsoever. Twilight reference.

She’s so adorable! Doesn’t really know any special tricks (yet) or will probably just grow up without even learning one just like all of our dogs but I will try! I will. That’s all guys!

New DOG Alert!

Pets October 11, 2019 0

My skeptical COLA

Boss

We have a new addition to the family!! And we named him COFFEE! He’s causing a lot of stress to my cola to be honest. Also causing a lot of trouble to everyone actually. Like, how can someone so little do big things already? BIG BUT NOT GREAT! Soo pasaway! Well actually, besides being naughty, the new dog is alright. Dare I say he’s a CHIHUAHUA? Yup. Says it all! Actually he looks a lot like our previous dog HANA. A lot smaller though! And he’s a boy so that probably makes the difference. That’s all!

My poor cola was so weak the week this little punk arrived. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what but yeah she was so stressed and wouldn’t take anything. We had to force feed her with dextrose, sometimes soup, and her meds. She’s gotten so thin! She was so hesitant whenever the punk is around and would constantly hide somewhere she could not be seen. It’s kind of better now though. She takes her meals well now but still very cautious around the new one. I pity her because before, she would stay and play with us but now, since the new dog is still very playful, he would be all over the place playing so my dog wouldn’t have a safe place to stay on her own so what I do is I carry her on my lap or I would stay by her side so she wouldn’t be as anxious. Kawaiso!

I remember my cola only being able to play with toys, bark, and climb up and down the stairs just recently (when she was more than 6 months) and this 3 month old puppy can already do so with no problem. Also, he barks like a monster (with little voice) already. So yeah that’s kind of what he does a lot. Eat and poop too! Also can we just take a moment and appreciate my gentle big monster COOKIE for being a nurse dog as always? Like, I know that she used to do this with COLA when they were little as well but yeah, she’s always around COFFEE which is nice you know. Show her around and tell her what and what not to do. She would get really upset and fight the little ball too! So yeah. BALANCE. That’s all! I hope they all get around well soon! I mean, it’s not a very big house so they have to be okay with each other somehow! That’s all! Is there any tips you guys can share to lessen the awkwardness between them? Thanks!

National Dog's Day 2016

Pets August 29, 2016 0

This post might actually be 3 or 4 days late but whatever. Hahaha. It's not everyday that we get to thank our furry friends at home.

SHIKI

Let's start with my Shiki. Old English Sheep Dog. The thing about our pets is that they assign them to family members, well in fact, it's everyone's. Except probably Shiki. He is mine. I may have mentioned (or not) but he's a gift from my uncle's boss and he gave it to us. As of this writing, he's about 4 years old and 7 months. Not really at his best behavior all the time but he does his job. MAKING NOISE ALL THE TIME mostly. But when he sees me, he'd shut up and go back to his cage. Anyways. He's still sweet! Cuddly. Sometimes I fear for his life because he kind of makes a lot of noise and you know, what if?

KORI

Kori. Mix between a Shihtzu-Poodle. He is just there sitting with his crossed legs. Always fabulous. Always a good laugh when we see him sitting like a diva.

HASHI

The Queen Bee. Only Bee actually. Always the kindest. Very calm. Cooperative. Classy. Someone that would make my mom happy. The rest, not so much I assume. Also a Shihtzu-Poodle mix.

BOOM

Go away human

My Boom! Also very sweet, very cute, and very very hyper. Also, he doesn't bark. Oh he does! Barks at my brother, my other tito, and cousin Cath.

I also want to take time and appreciate our friends that are already in Dog Heaven. You all are awesome! Mocha, the original Queen Bee. Prunes, the Alpha Male. Genki, my OG baby. And Hana, the tiny.

And lastly, I want to welcome COOKIE. The newest member of the family. It's a shame I wasn't there when she was brought home. I hope she likes me though. Or actually I might just bribe her with awesome doggy snacks just to be sure.

They can't talk. They can't express what's inside their heads. But they certainly have feelings. And once in a while it's nice to recall and just appreciate what they've done for us. Ciao!

Dogs, Cakes, Halloween.

Shikimikie November 01, 2013 0

Hello guys! This is a post to show everyone and so I would have something to read on probably 5 years from now. Hashi's puppies! They're just so cute I can't even. I think they're about a month now. No idea how old they are exactly but anyways. They're somehow big now and healthy. That's all that matters you know.

The one on our left is my bebe BOOM (boy) and the one on our right is my bebe JINGLE (girl) and yeah aren't they just the cutest of the cutest creatures? By the way I say that to any cute pets so don't be alarmed. The shape of their faces kind of looks different from each other because of their parents look quite different as well but they're both cute so whatevs.

My picture with the bebes. I know they wouldn't be this cute for too long so yeah better take pictures before it's too late. Anyways. That's all for this post guys.

And by the way I did not do anything for Halloween so sorry for that. You know though sometimes I think my Halloween posts are just always at the top because I look ridiculous on my pictures. Anyways. I don't really care LOL. Happy Halloween! Better safe than sorry! :)

On other note, I want to show you guys these beautiful cakes that I was able to taste and yeah. Well actually, there's nothing special with the cakes but I just took pictures because they look good.

This is called Jamocha from Goldilocks and I believe this is actually a relatively new cake from them and it was alright :) I mean, I'm not actually a fan of like Mocha cakes or the flavor in general but this one didn't make me not want it so yeah good job.

This cake is moist. So moist actually! It's a black forest from Red Ribbon and yeah it didn't disappoint me or whatever but I really liked it.

Puppies Updates.

Update September 30, 2013 0

I know I told you guys that there's only two of Hashi's puppies left and they're the most adorable thing ever!! Like, they're so much like their mother and they're so cute! I can't even! Sadly though, mom told us that we're only gonna keep one of them. So sad. Can I just say that the Queen Bee, Hashi and Hanah's mother would actually go inside their bath tubs and lick the pups sometimes even. She lost her pups not so long ago she probably thought that its her puppies. Heartbreaking.

Hanah also gave birth to two puppies like 2 days after Hashi gave birth to her 5 pups but sadly, none of Hanah's pups made it. I don't know but for some reason, she can't really take care of the baby. I know it's an insult because she's not like those mother that leaves the puppies unattended and stuff but for some reason, Hanah would stay with them but she would like act like digging something and therefore would somehow kick her puppies so yeah. Her puppies made it somehow but not for too long. This is actually the longest any of her puppies lived. Hopefully next time, they would make it all through out!

Dream and Reality

Puppies September 27, 2013 0

Hola guys! I just want to share you my dream/s before they travel to forgetland. I had a dream the other day and you know, I only remember it because it's weird. Duh! So the first scene was this. The scary avengers were chasing me, my cousin, and my sister. I was like so confused. To be fair, I'm not actually sure if it was the avengers but they are kind of muscular that it reminds me of Incredible Hulk. So yeah they were after us and then we hid and I woke at the part when one of them were able to find our hiding place and then he was trying to open the door.

source

The second part is this. SPIDER! A giant spider. Like as tall as those monsters you see in Power Rangers episodes. Scary as shiz! Like I think I saw someone being slayed in front of me and I think I was a little bit injured that time. Like, legit! I think I was bleeding even. And for some reason, my police uncle made this shock proof/giant spider leg proof van and I was able to ride that and stuff and the best part of that dream? I saw Louis Cole, Jack and Finn Harries in a convertible! Without actually giving an eff! They were like vlogging and stuff LOL.

WITH THE FOUR PUPPIES BEFORE I INFORM MY SISSY

To the reality now. Our Hashi gave birth! This is like a sad story sort of. She gave birth to 5 pups! It was like so early in the morning on September 23rd and my grandma woke me up to inform that Hashi gave birth. I saw 2 puppies there but it seemed like Hashi is still trying to "push" or something. And then one more came out. And I was like wow. And then she was still kind of trying to "push" and I was unsure when I touched her belly which was tensed still and I thiught it's because of her birth giving process and stuff but when I left and came back, an additional pup was there. And then I called my sister and informed her and she saw one more came out. She was so grossed out. So that's the story of the puppies.

Uhm. As of now, only 2 puppies are alive and healthy I suppose. Hashi doesn't have much milk to feed 5 puppies I suppose. And now even though only 2 puppies are alive, somehow we're depending on formula milk as well. But I guess she have enough for two. So there I hope and wish that the puppies would be alive and healthy all through out!

Hashi is a good mom. As a first timer and somehow young, she would do her job and not leave the puppies. I guess it was just bad luck that she lost 3 of them. I hope next time, all of she conceived would live and grow healthy. Well including the two she's nursing now. That's all! :)

Preggers :/

Pregnant September 13, 2013 1

So this is really surprising. It's kind of too late when we found out but yeah. As too early as I think it happened, we must accept what the nature of things are and what to do? I don't know. Accept it? Let things be! Anyways! :) I am happy to announce that the baby of my pet family is pregnant! I don't know what to feel about it but you know, in some ways, pets are somehow still not the same as human so yeah. But I'm kind of excited/nervous about how things will turn out but hopefully there wouldn't be anything to be nervous about when the right time comes. Oh well.

PETTING THE PREGGY

Hashi is expected to deliver the baby within the week and she seems healthy now. Nothings changed expect for her big belly. We reckon there might be 2 pups inside because that's how her mum used to be.

Her favorite activity as of the moment is to ask for someone to pet her belly. I think she's somehow in pain and would like someone to pet her or something. I don't know. She's also always sleeping or resting so that's good since theoretically, that would help condition the pups.

Good luck Hashi! May the odds be ever in your favor!

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 4

Sunset July 06, 2013 1

1. You might be confused as to what this picture is all about. If you would look closely, there's a colorful something something up above the tree. That's actually a parrot. What happened was it escaped from its owner and then the owner said that he would give a 5000 pesos grant to the person that would catch and bring back the parrot to the owner. Can I just say that the parrot was really mean because a guy actually attempted to climb that tree but when he was about to grab the parrot, it flew and transferred to a far away tree and yeah.

2. A picture of my sister Mika and I at Manila Bay. Actually, Harbour Square back when we ate somewhere there. If you don't know it already, I'm obsessed with sunset. So even though we can't be seen and recognized in that picture, that picture is precious.

3. Internship! :) I miss everything about internship. This is during my Clinical Microscopy rotation. And also during when we exchanged gifts. As you can see, I'm eating a Krispy Kreme and just checking out my group mate who is studying medicine now by the way.

4. My lovey Hashi eating her favorite food. Instant noodles. Like whenever I would eat noodles, Hashi would come and wag her tail and stuff and then I got curious and gave her a strand and she loved it. The picture is not actually the first time but whatever.

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 3

Throwback June 21, 2013 0

1. I wouldn't forget this because this is like taken during our first day in our second internship. I am with my good friend which I was with during the first internship as well. What happened is that our first post (hematology) is kind of being renovated that very time so our head staff is busy directing his people on where to place things so he explained that he can't orient us that day and we actually had to stay outside while the rest of our co-interns were being oriented on their respective posts so we just took pictures of ourselves and yeah these are the outcome.

2. This is a friend's photo that I grabbed moments before our retreat and we (thesis leader and I) weren't actually supposed to be in the frame but that happened. Basically, this very day, we were supposed to present the first part of our thesis but then again, I think 4/5 of our members are actually going out for retreat so the leader and I had to come up with good vibes scenarios and that we just said that the remaining member would be able to present it properly and that we wouldn't have to worry and just believe. We look kind of problematic but you know, been there done that.

3. Brownies from sister's "boyfie" I actually ate stuff from the boyfriend too so even though they're sort of not "together" anymore, I still thank the kid for being generous but to be honest, basing it from some stuff, I don't think I like you for my sister yet. Oh wells.

4. Sister's graduation! It's actually quite funny that my sister chose to have red lips that day and her classmates were like, Anne Curtis! Haha nothing much. Just wanna share this. Can I just share that my sister is more obsessed with make up than I am as of this moment? I remember when I was still her age, I also am obsessed with make up so maybe that's why I'm not that worried. It's like I know what exactly would happen to her when she's already my age now. Ha! Generation gap.

5. No idea lol. That's when I just came home from duty. At first he was like jumping non stop and when he calmed down, this happened. I think he just missed me a little bit too much.

Pets and Sunset

Wanderlust June 15, 2013 0

Hi guys! I've told you here that the resort we went to on my mum's birthday allow pets to actually go in so we did bring two of our dogs with us. They were such a delight and made the experience kind of different than the usual. In a fun way.

DE HASHI!

Can I just make kwento a little bit? I didn't document it but Hashi bathed in the bay! Like, she hates shower so we were kind of hesitant if she would go in and the deal is we wouldn't force her to go in but then when we reach the shore or whatever, she went in the water by herself and swimming like a national team swimmer there. We're all looking like her like a proud momma. Except my mum who thought that Hashi would die right away. But it's all good now!

MOCHA IS LOVE

Mocha also bathed but when she came in the room with dad, she was covered with sand particles so mum wasn't happy about that but I bet Mocha really enjoyed that experience as well. Too bad we didn't able to witness it though.

I don't have much things to tell you guys anymore but I hope y'all enjoy the pictures :). Can I just reiterate that this is probably the most gorgeous sunset I've witnessed. I went out of the room because I wanted to see the sunset and took pictures by myself and when I returned to the room, I saw Mika and asked her to go back with me so that I would have pictures with it and then whilst we're taking pictures, the rest went out as well so I asked my other sister to take pictures with me and Mika in it as well. And vice versa.

LOVE

ME :)

It's actually kind of odd because I can barely be recognized but you know, whatever! I must have this picture.

PERFECTION

MIKA

Can I just say that when I saw this picture while reviewing the sunset batch, I was kind of proud and happy I took this because it's like unintentionally artsy.

LAST DAY :(

That's where this adventure ends guys I hope you had fun reading or like, seeing the pictures because let's be honest, there are times when we're just all lazy to read shiz and we just want to see pictures. LOL. Have a good day y'all!

Mama's Birthday Celebration

White Corals June 11, 2013 0

Hi guys! I just want to share what happened to my mum's birthday. Okay so my mum's birthday is on the 8th of June and we went to Bataan to celebrate. I have only been to Bataan twice, I guess. The first was when we went to Montemar and then the later is what I'm gonna tell you know.

Can I just say that I feel kind of free being able to join events nowadays. Although I must admit that I actually skipped a day in my review class but I'm gonna make up for it! I'll do my best to cope up. Okay enough of that. Okay so let's get into it! :) I must give you a little warning though. This post is bombarded with pictures so yeah. The resort that we went to is called Bataan White Corals. What separates them from other resorts is that they allow pets inside the resort so upon hearing this, mum decided to bring with us two of our beloved pets. Hashi and her mum Mocha. Can I just say that it's no easy job bringing pets. Especially when we were in the car. Mocha was kind of alright but Hashi is dang wild.

PETS IN FRONT OF THE RUNWAY

This is when we stopped for a while to give the pets a bathroom break. I was kind of amused because Mocha was eating the grass which she doesn't do on a normal basis so I don't know. Maybe she was dizzy from the trip or something.

FRONT VIEW OF THE RESORT

ME WITH MOCHA

Now the outside or the front part of the resort didn't really impress me. Nothing so special. It would actually give you an idea that the resort is small. And this is also one reason why we shouldn't judge something by its cover.

MOCHA

MAMA

I was actually impressed by the resort itself. The ambiance is beautiful and peaceful looking. Can I just say that I hate that the resort beside our resort have this videoke machine and they're effing noisy as hell. I mean, I don't sing very good but at least I am not bothering people when I do. They were like singing 24/7. How can that be not annoying? Oh anyways.

I don't really like the room as well. It does the job but mum told me that it is more expensive here than in Montemar and the rooms are actually more beautiful in Montemar so that's sort of my comparison and justification. Also, there's no free shampoos, soaps, and other stuff to steal. But anyways. LOL. Good thing my mum is always prepared with these stuff whenever we check-in somewhere. Good thinking, mum! <3

FRESH WATER POOL

SALT WATER POOL

To make up for that, I was very impressed with their pools. There are two of them (as you may have seen already) one is the Fresh Water and the later is the Salt Water. They're not playing when they say SALT WATER because for some reason, I have accidentally tasted it and it's legit salt water. I personally prefer the Fresh Water though.

THE BEACH! <3

OMBRE BEACH

MIKA AND HASHI

When I first saw it, I fell in love. I was actually not expecting that the beach would look like the pictures above because you know, I think I told you before that Subic Bay disappoints me a little bit. But this is like, perf! I don't know if it's two different things or how things work but I don't care. Basta me likey. :D Also, can I just say that I'm so proud of my little sister for actually not injuring herself? Just a little back story for ya'll, she was stung by a jellyfish in Dakak, Cebu and was punctured by a sea urchin in Montemar, Bataan and some other minor cases in between so I'm really proud that even though there's like a warning that there are many sea urchins, she survived! :D HOORAY!

Some more photos from the event! I decided to put the pets and some sunset photos in a different post because it deserves to be in a separate post because it's like perfection 2.0. But I won't be cutting you off of course. I'm gonna show you a sample photo in a while.

MAH FACE

This one I cropped (obviously) because when the guy who took this photo is taking our photo, I noticed that his finger is covering the lens and I was like, okay maybe not. And then when we already finished posing and stuff, he was like, OKAY! :) And then I was like, so maybe his finger is not really covering. And then we viewed the pictures at the restaurant, his finger is also in the frame. As you may have still noticed on the right side of the picture. So that's the story of it. Thank you though! :)

AT THE RESTAURANT

Not a fan of their restaurant. It's a little pricey in my opinion. The food is not that great as well. Oh well. We had lunch here but the other day, we like "trespassed" in another resort just to access their restaurant. LOL. Which is a little bit cheaper. A LITTLE BIT. But not that great either.

WHITE CORALS ON THE LOOSE

SUNSET LOVE

Probably the most awesome sunset I've witnessed. SERIOUS STUFF. If I can, I would totally buy a house somewhere here because it's just perfection. See you guys next post! I'll try my best to post it this week.
