Because Ate LA Asked Me...

... to post some more pictures here...

They say I'm the most photographed dog. Hmmmm, I think they may be wrong. I only have a couple of hundreds after all. Kidding! Hihhihi. Anyway, here are some taken this week...


Guess where I am? I'm on a bed. My very own bed! Hihihi! Well, actually, they haven't told me yet that it is mine. But whom else could it be? I mean, ate LA's got her own bed in her room. And so does ate Sheila. Yaya Nene has her own bed too. And mommy and daddy shares the big bed in their room (where mommy doesn't like me to sleep on, but daddy does.... but that's a different story). So who do you think is left? ME! Hihihi. So I've got my own bed :D We call the it Boat. Cause ate Sheila and ate LA like to pretend that there are sharks below the bed and that's why I should never go down it. Hihihi. My ates are weird sometimes :D



Now here's me in my favorite sleeping position -- the letter C. I've been trying to perfect the C, you know.


Then finally here's me on my mommy's bed. Remember I told you that she doesn't like me there? That's why I'm hiding between the pillows, hihihi!

Well, that's it for now. I will also post these pics in my flickr so you'll also see them there :)

I went and Bought a Car

Oh alright, I didn't. It was actually kuya Leo who did, but they took me with them when they looked at it, so I was able to go out of the house again. Cool, hihi. I walked around the gasoline station for a while (that's where we met the car sellers). No running though since my ates didn't want me to wander far. It was fun, except that kuya Ryan was there and I was careful not to get too close to him. He's mean, you know. Everytime he comes to our house, I try to hide from him cause he would scare me and hit me :( Hmmm, in fairness, he hasn't really hit me yet. But he was meaning to! I am not making this up, promise! He would carry that big stick we have at home and lift it to hit me. *shivers* Sometimes, he even brings in his killer dog! *more shivers* Oh alright, so maybe he isn't a killer dog. And ok, maybe I am bigger than him. Ok ok, I AM bigger than him. I guess the dog was actually quite friendly. But that doesn't matter! Cause you know what? I'm afraid of dogs! Waaah, they scare me :( -- except for myself, of course, hihihihi.

After our trip, they took me home and I did my usual thing in the house. That would mean walking around, sleeping, lazing about... you know, that stuff. My ates left again but they didn't bring me with them anymore. Maybe they're buying me a Tweet and want to surprise me! I wish I wish I wish...

Anyhoo, that's my day. It's getting kinda late so I guess I'll stop writing now. I'll try to write again soon. By the way, did you see my new flickr pictures on my sidebar? Pretty cool huh? ;) But I think there's a bug somewhere...

Ciao blogmates!

Wishing

Mommy and ate LA left today. And of course my ate Sheila and daddy are both at work. So here I am, all alone with my yaya Nene at home. Haaaay, not much happening today. Sometimes yaya Nene plays with me, but most of the time I just laze around.

Hmmm, I wonder where my mommy and ate LA went. Do you think they left to buy me a new pet? Hihihi, I really hope so! Oh I hope they get another Tweet! Wait, if they buy me another birdie, can I call her Tweet again? Hmmm, I must think about this... Oh I can't wait til they get home! I wish I wish i wish...

My mommy is addicted to another computer game. She's been hording daddy's laptop since yesterday, playing "Crazy Taxi". Even tita Becky watches, and they kept laughing the whole time! I think mommy kept hitting the passengers and breaking the traffic rules cause tita Becky kept scolding her. Hihihi, I like seeing my mommy have fun. I just wish I can join in their fun too. I'm afraid I'm not very good with computers though :(

Haaay... what's taking them so long?

Oh well, I guess I'll just go and nap a little...

Tweet is gone!

I looked for her this morning and she's not in the kitchen anymore. I heard my mommy say she escaped! Doesn't she like me? :( I wasn't gonna hurt her, promise. Just wanted to catch her and play... *gloom*

Tweet and Me

Hey, guess what? I got myself a pet, hihi! My very own pet! Mommy got me one of those birdies that I kept chasing after in the terrace. You know, those birdies that kept saying tweet tweet all the time? I've always wanted to have one of those. Now I got one in our kitchen! Hihihi, I'm so happy!
Hmmm... now if only I can catch her...

Well, truth be told, I've been trying to the whole morning. Really, I tried! Been running around the kitchen, barking and jumping for 2 hours! But I guess this one's kinda bionic cause she kept flying away before I can get near :( oh well, she's not house trained yet so she doesn't know that she should let me catch her. In time she'll learn, hihi. In the meantime, gotta keep on trying to catch her... you know, show her who's the boss, hihi. Hmmm....if only she'd settle for a while. She got me so tired!

Anyway, I'm naming her Tweet. If she's good, I'm going to call her Tweet-baby or Tweety, just like my ates call me Dutch-baby or Dutchy sometimes, hihi. But if I'm disappointed with her, I'm going to call her Tweet-pangit or Tweet-baho-ears. Hmmm, come to think of it, I'm not really sure what pangit and baho-ears mean. I just know that everytime I'm being naughty, or when I won't let my ate LA put those medicine in my ears, she calls me Dutch-pangit or Dutch-baho-ears. Hmmm... "Tweet-pangit, come down here!" Hihihihi!

I took a bath again today. It was quite refreshing after chasing after Tweet. As usual, I got hyper again after the bath, hihi. The rest of the afternoon went by uneventfully. I had my routine power naps -- you know, those small naps that I take to recharge my energy? I need to recharge for my next session with Tweet. I couldn't find her in afternoon, however. Mommy probably put her in her cage to rest.

Anyhoo, the whole family's home now so I guess I can already go to sleep. I had to wait for all of them to arrive, you know. Must not lax on my resposibility of greeting them. Plus I also worry when they're not home yet -- sometime's waiting up for them in the sala or in their room. oh well, they're all in now so I'll be off to bed too.

Goodnight bloggerees!

Due to Insistent Public Demand...

... I've created this new blog of mine, hihi! Am I relocating? Nah, I'm still keepin' my friendster blog here... Let's just say that I'm branching out, so you've got no excuse for lurking around and not leaving a comment anymore, hihihi. This blog's pretty bare for now though. I still need to ask ate Sheila to put a tagboard and other stuff. Exciting! :D

Gimik At The Fort and QC

Hey bloggerees, hihi! I've got so many things to tell you today. Boy, am I poofed with all the things that I did. But what fun fun fun! :)

Let me start with my morning. Ah, let's see... there's sleeping and lazing around... Hmmm, ok let's fast forward to the afternoon since I guess nothing much happened in the morning. But here comes the exciting part, hihi...

So my afternoon started out as a not-so-good one. It was raining so hard and I got really scared of the thunder. I was afraid to be left alone cause, well, I don't know... the sound was so loud and it was really scaring me... I wanted to be close to my ate LA cause I know she'd protect me incase anything happens. So wherever she was, I just stayed there as well. Problem was she kept moving around the house! So I kept following her. Hihi, I guess she realized what I was doing cause she started carrying me with her when she had to move again.

Anyhoo, I realized that the reason she kept moving about was because she was going to go out. She was going to go to The Fort to meet ate Sheila. Oh no, I was really scared she'd leave me! But you know what? She didn't! She was going to bring me with her! Wow, my very first gimik at The Fort. How exciting! I was almost left behind though since my mommy wouldn't let me go. I guess it's because of my age. My mom can be very strict sometimes. But I was going out with my ates, so what can go wrong? Anyway, in the end, I still got to go, yippee!

So off we went. My ate LA was driving and I stayed at the passenger seat beside her. I was really trying to behave cause she might change her mind and bring me back home. BUt I started getting dizzy. I was really fighting it, promise! But, well... though it's embarrassing to admit, I made "suka" in the car :( And since I didn't have my mommy or my other ate with me, I vomited on the seat instead of in a plastic bag like I used to. Yuck, my seat got really dirty! Ate LA was a little mad, I guess. But she still took care of me cause she stopped the car and got me something to drink from the mini-stop store.

Anyway, we met kuya Bernard on our way to the Fort. Then when we got there, we met ate Sheila and kuya Leo at the parking lot. Wow! The Fort is so big, I wanted to run everywhere! We went to this big big tent. Huge! We met this guy outside. I haven't really seen him before. They went inside the tent, and I also wanted to go but they didn't let me. Ate LA and kuya Bernard alternately watched over me outside. That's alright, I was still absorbing everything that I was seeing. There were other people too, who looked really nice and colorful, going in and out of the tent.

Anyway, when they finished their talk, we all went back to the car. This time I rode with ate Sheila and kuya Leo. I thought we were going home, but, you know what, we didn't! We had isaw at UP, hihihi. I really love going to UP cause they always let me run around. So that's exactly what I did when I got of the car. I started running on the sidewalk, while ate Sheila ran behind me, holding my leash. Kuya Leo was incharged of our isaw orders so we left him behind. Wow, I wanted to go far, but ate Sheila insisted we go back when we almost covered one block. So we went back, still running, of course :) Ate Sheila and I went back in the car, and she made me drink water while they ate the isaw. I'm not really a fan of isaw, so I didn't eat any. I drank C2 though, and I really liked it, hihi.

Then kuya Leo went inside the car and drove again. We then stopped at the gym -- or atleast that's what I think it's called. Wow, we're place-hopping, cool! I ran again the moment I got out of the car. I wanted to go everywhere -- anywhere! I ran fast, then faster, and faster! Ate Sheila can barely keep up with me, hihi. I can go very fast, you know? And I don't get tired at all. But ate Sheila gets tired sometimes, and there was a time when she made me stop while she sat on a bench. I guess we were waiting for kuya Leo too cause he went inside the gym. While waiting, there was this big girl who started patting me. Hmmm, I seem to have that effect on people. I guess that means I'm charming right? Hihihi. So anyway, when kuya Leo was there again, we headed back to the car. I ran the fastest I could! I was flying, hihihi. I love the wind in my hair -- all over :) Ate Sheila was still holding my leash, so she was keeping up. But kuya Leo was left way way behind! Told you I was fast ;) I guess I made ate Sheila very very tired though, hihihi.

Anyway, we drove to the gasoline station and, while we were getting gas, ate Sheila went inside the store to find me a plastic glass to drink on. I must say I was so thirsty then with all the running that I did. My ates are really so nice to take care of me all the time. Ate Sheila even let me drink C2 again :)

When we got home, I ran straight to my mommy to receive her welcoming hug. I think she really missed me cause she seemed so excited to see me back :) My dad was there to greet me too! Haaay, I really do love my family.

All in all, I had a very very exciting day. But now I'm all ready for bed, so I'll be signing off for now... bye blogmates :)

Relaxing A Bit

Hey you blogmates! Is that how I should call you -- blogmates? Hihihi....Sorry if I'm not really that familiar with the blogging lingo yet. I am just a newbie afterall ;) But give me time, I bet I can be very good at this, hihihi.

So what have I been up to? Well, I am just laying around, trying to do some relaxing. Walking here, walking there. Sleeping on the floor. Sleeping on the bed. It's a pretty boring morning for me so far, though I can't really say if it will stay that way the whole day. You can never really predict who will drop by at our house.

Hmmm, come to think of it, I did get some visitors today. Tita Becky and tita Leah came early this morning. Of course I greeted them proper, jumping and running and making noise with my bell, hihi. I do love it when visitors come. I rarely get to go out afterall, and it's good to have guests once in a while to socialize. Yup, socializing is important *nodding head emphatically* -- (hihihi, see me nod my head there?). No dog is an island afterall.

Ok, what else did I do this morning? Oh, ate LA made me drink my medicine again early today. You remember that round thing I've been telling you? That thing they put in my mouth? Well, I know what it is now. It's medicine, just like that liquid thing they drop in my ear. But this one's for the mouth. Still hate it though. Both medicines actually. Are all medicines like that? Yuck, I'd better not get sick anymore...

Oh and I also woke up ate Sheila again this morning. I'm not really sure if that is part of my household chores, but ate LA keeps putting me in ate Sheila's bed every morning to wake her, so it probably is. Sometimes I don't wake her though and just sleep beside her, hihi. Hey, I am just one year old. I'm not very good with chores yet! And I do like cuddling beside my ates. Well, I guess not all time, specially when it's hot. But during cold season, like when it's raining, I like sharing my ates' pillows and blankets.

Hey look, I've written a lot again! See, told you I'm gonna get good at this, hihihi. But I gotta go now. Ate Sheila might need to use the computer now.

Bye blogmates! Oh, and leave a comment if you can. I want to know who my blogmates are, you know ;)

Letting It All Out

I love my family, but I swear, there are times when they can really test my patience! Like these past few days when they have been trying to put that medicine inside my ear. I mean, I made it explicitly clear to them that I hate it when they do that. I even tried to pretend that I was going to bite them. But did that stop them? Did it? Did it? Noooooooo! Haaaay... I guess they really knew me that well and they saw through my acting. I mean, I couldn't and wouldn't really bite them you know. But gosh, they really annoyed me... enough to bite a little bit harder this morning!

One more thing. What's up with that round thing they kept putting inside my mouth? Hey, I'm not really picky with food (dog food excluded, of course). But they tried to put it directly in my throat. In my throat! Darn it! Hehehe, pardon my language. You know, I'm not usually so cranky. I'm really a sweet dog. Promise. These past few days have just been too trying for me. Anyway, back to that round thing. I guess I couldn't really blame them for putting it in my throat (or maybe I do blame them, hehehe). I don't think I'd swallow it otherwise. I mean, the thing tastes like blah! I tried to chew it one time, and the round thing started becoming sticky. Then it opened and some powder came out. Yuck, I don't like the powder at all! So then they tried to put it in my avocado shake. They thought I wouldn't notice, but I did. Yup, I sure did. Aint no way they were gonna make me eat that stuff voluntarily. No way!

Oops, sorry if I sound like such a whiner, but I just have to let it all out. I sure am glad to have this blog for release. I just hope you don't get too bored with all my complaints. This is what blogs are for anyway, right? So going back...

Lastly, they also tried to make me drink this brown liquid stuff. They made me drink that in the hospital yesterday (did i tell you that we went to the hospital again yesterday?). The doctor said it was vitamins. Oh man, did it smell horrible! And naturally I didn't drink it when they tried to make me again today. My mommy got mad and called me "Bad" :( That really made me so sad. I'm not bad. Really, I'm not. I went to my ate Sheila's room and stayed under her bed, all alone. I got to ponder on a lot of things while I was there. Mostly about my family and why they're so loving one moment, and why they're being pushy the next.

Anyhoo, just want to tell you that not all of my day sucked. I've got a couple of highs too, you know. And I don't really hold grudges, so I was playing with my mommy and ate LA again pretty soon :)

One highlight of my day? I took a bath! Hehehe, it seemed ages since I took a bath. Hey, don't you go thinkin' I'm a stinky dog ok? I actually take a bath more frequently than other dogs do. At least I think I do. Anyway, I did take a bath earlier, and as usual, that got me really hyper. Woohoo! After the bath, I tried to dry myself off on top of my mommy and daddy's bed. I guess mommy didn't really like that though and she carried me outside to dry off infront of the fan. Hmmm, I often wonder why my mommy doesn't like me climbing on the bed, when my sisters keep putting me there every chance they get anyway...

Well anyway, I also played with Bulldog and Culture Crash today (those are my toys, incase you're wondering). I haven't played with them in a while because of this ear infection I have. Good thing I am feeling much much better now. I'm still walking "tabingi" and my ear is still itching sometimes, but I am more lively now, more energetic. By the way, thanks to all those who prayed for me :) I'm sure my family prayed for me the hardest, even though they can make me real angry sometimes. They love me so much afterall. And at the end of the day, I still get to cuddle on their beds and they hug me and scratch my tummy.

So even though my family have their quirks once in a while, there still isn't any other place I'd rather be than here with them. Just hope this ear problem of mine gets fixed real soon so that I can go back to being my spoiled self again. I did like it much better that way.

I'm Still Sick :(

These past few days haven't really been very good. I've got ear mites and it's making my life miserable :( I heard my mommy and my sisters talking about bringing me to the hospital again. I hate the hospital! But I guess I can't blame them, given that all I've been doing is sleeping and looking gloomy all day. I don't play anymore, not even when ate LA brought bulldog, my toy. I don't even walk! I just feel miserable :( It doesn't help that, once in a while, my mommy or one of my ates will try to put that medicine inside my ear. That gets me really riled up, you know? Haaaay, i want to get well soon. At least I still have my appetite. I'm trying to be strong to overcome this sickeness. Please include me in your prayers. I'll pray for you too once I get well, hihi.

Thank you :)

A Stressful Day!

Ok, going back to my story... (check out my previous entry for the beginning)

So my mommy arrived in the morning. Had me a few hugs and kisses from the family, as always ;) Mommy even got me new clothes. She made me put on one, a sleeveless green top with the word "baby" written on it. I must say, I couldn't seem to move while wearing it. Or maybe I just felt uncomfortable and thought I would trip or something. Anyway, ate LA eventually removed it seeing that I was not my usual energetic self.

I am not exactly sure how the nightmare started, but I think it was caused by this problem I have with my ear. It was so itchy and I kept scratching it until I wounded my right one. Then I suddenly felt unbalanced and started walking "tabingi"! I kept on shaking my head, seeming to have something inside my ear that I wanted to remove. I was feeling quite off, not my usual bouncy self. When my sisters noticed, they were so worried. I guess they didn't like seeing me "matamlay" cause the last time I was feeling low, they immediately brought me to my doctor, argh! And the same thing happened yesterday.

I thought we were going for a walk when they brought out my leash. Normally I get really excited when I see my leash. You couldn't even calm me down! That time, however, I didn't even lift my head. That got my sisters more worried. We got into the car and drove. I didn't recognize the place we went to, but there was also a doctor there. Not my old doctor. This time it was a girl. And the place was much bigger, with lots of weird things all around.

Then the nightmare! First, someone stuck something in my behind. Yuck! Said he was taking my temperature or something. I guess I took it well being the good girl that I am. Ate LA hugged me all the while, so I guess that helped. But then the doctor started looking into my ear with her gadget. Didn't like that at all! They -- the doctor and the assistant -- were poking inside my ears, cleaning out the black stuff. Said my ear was swollen because of that black stuff. Ouch, it hurt :( I tried to stop them, but kuya Bernard started holding my mouth! Oh no, they were ganging up on me! I tried to ask help from kuya Leo, but he didn't do anything. Ate Sheila and ate LA were making soothing sounds, but I didn't feel comforted. I was scared :( Then the lady doctor dropped some liquid inside my ear. Waaah... make her stop! Make her stop! No one was helping so I started biting. No one messes with me lady! Well, I guess the doctor stopped, but not before a couple of drops got in. Whew, it was finished. I started smiling again, and they took me home.

I thought that was the end of it. I was still "tabingi" however. And "matamlay". My sisters were still very worried. I couldn't seem to be able to jump. Not even to get on the bed. Or get off it for that matter. But my sisters were there all the while, watching over me. They made me sleep with them too. First on ate LA's bed. Then with ate Sheila on her bed. There was this uncomfortable moment when my ates tried to put that liquid thing in my ears again. But I wouldn't let them, so they stopped...

... Until this morning. Then they started putting it in my ear again. And it's not just my sisters now, but my mommy and daddy too! But it's alright, I'm not afraid of them afterall, and I'm sure they wouldn't hurt me intentionally. And besides, I am pretty spoiled, hehe. I know they couldn't really force me to do something I didn't want. So now we're playing this game where they try to put that liquid thing inside my ear, and I try to bite them, hehehe. Not deep, mind you. I don't want to hurt them too afterall. And so far I am still winning, hehehe. Told you I am spoiled ;)

Got Me A Blog

Aw aw aw...

I have my very own blog! Exciting! I have just created my blog today and now I am writing my very first post. Well, technically, one of my sisters is writing this for me since my paws can't seem to hit the correct letters on the keyboard. But that's ok, since I wouldn't know how to translate my aw-aws into people-readable words anyway. It's a good thing my sisters are good enough to do the translating for me, so all's cool :D

Hmmm, what can my readers expect to read from my blog? Well, basically, I figured I'd be writing about my day --- what I've been doing, what my plans are, some of my highs and lows --- that kind of stuff. Hopefully, through my blog, you'll be able to know me better and get a glimpse of how I live my life. Since I'm just 1 year old, I don't believe I'll be able to write anything profound or brilliant -- so don't expect any of those. Still, I am hoping that you will find enjoyment and amusement in reading my entries.

So here goes...

I had the worst day yesterday. The most stressful day of my life! But let's start with the very beginning... I started my day very excited since my mommy was scheduled to arrive from Bicol that morning. Woke up at 2am, anticipating her arrival. At 4am, I heard the car outside the house. They're here! Me and my sister LA went outside to greet them. She wouldn't let me go out on the streets however, and put me on top of the car trunk instead. My oh my, I couldn't seem to contain my excitement! Been jumping and wriggling around until my mommy carried me into the house and I was able to greet her properly.

Hmmm... I think I may have to continue my story later. It's time for lunch and I have to hide from my yaya Nene before she can catch me and put me on the kitchen table top again. She feeds me dog food, you know? And I'd rather have those delicious food they serve on the table instead.

Gotta go... aw aw aw
