zzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well, I don't have a lot to write here since nothing much is happening lately. I guess I just want to say hi to my blogmates. Hiyee bloggeroos! Hihihi. Haven't been on a gimmick since that Eastwood trip. Been doing a lot of resting and lazing around the house. I guess I'm getting old as all I can seem to do is sleep sleep sleep! Sleep on ate LA's bed. Sleep on ate Sheila's bed. Sleep under mommy's bed (and on it when she couldn't see me, hihihi). Sleep on the sofa. Sleep in the kitchen. Sleep in the toilet. Maybe my bones are getting brittle! Nah, I'm still young. Maybe I just couldn't find anything exciting to do around the house. I've gone tennis a few times with my ates, but that's it. Oh alright, I didn't play tennis. It was actually kuya Leo who did. But I got to run around the court with ate Sheila and ate LA.

Oh well, that's it for now. I can't find the energy to continue writing anymore. Hihihi, actually ate Sheila said she has to prepare for work now and couldn't help me type anymore. Oh why couldn't they make computers that are dog-friendly? Anyhoo, gotta go.

Hmmm, I feel like sleeping again.

Gimmick At Eastwood!

Guess where I was the other night? Hihihi, if you've read my previous (embarassing) post, you'd know that I went a-gimik in Eastwood! Got that? EASTWOOD! One of my favorite, favorite, favorite places on earth, hihihi! (That's where I celebrated my first birthday, you know? *wink*). It's a pet friendly place and they love me there, hihihi. FUN FUN FUN! Hmmm... well, except for the dinner part where I only got to eat a little... but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the very beginning...

Remember my tita Becky? She's mommy's sister who lives in the US. She visited us for the longest time (I'd like to think it's because she likes me and she didn't want to leave me, hihihi). She already left this morning though. Awww, I'm gonna miss her :( Anyhoo, we all went to Eastwood the other night for her early despedida dinner.


I rode with ate Sheila, kuya Leo, ate LA, and kuya Bernard in kuya Bernard's car. Mommy, daddy, ate May, ate Che-che, and tita Becky rode the other car. I still got dizzy on the way, but I'm happy to say I didn't make "suka" anymore :D See, I'm a big girl now *wink wink*. That didn't stop my ate LA and ate Sheila from worrying and fussing though. They have the supot ready all the while, hihihi. But I know I made them proud :D
Are we there yet?

When we got there, we went to this restaurant called Something Fishy. Why ever did we choose that place, I don't know. I mean, just by the name alone, I knew I wouldn't like it. How can I when they don't let me eat Fish?! Then they take me to a Fish restaurant... go figure. When we got there, they wouldn't even let me inside. It's a good thing they had those tables outside. Well, come to think of it, it was much nicer outside anyway, and most of the people eating there were outside too. We got this big table outside, and they gave me my own chair, hihihi.



Our Big Table! Look, I have my own chair Why are we eating at a FISH resto???

"I want to order my food ate LA!" Hihihi, silly me, I couldn't read the menu! :D

Give me the menu ate LA! Aww.. just order for me ate LA

So they ordered for me instead. They got me chicken, and I guess I was happy with that. I thought there'd be more though. I kept looking at the waiter everytime he passed.

After dinner, we went walking around. Did some picture-taking too. Ate Che-che and ate May were embarassed to have their pictures taken. Me, on the other hand, love picture-taking! Got to have lots and lots of pictures for my blog, of course :D Hey, what happened to my eyes!

Mommy, ate LA and tita Becky, CHEESE! D Girls, including me, hihihi!

Guess who I saw in Eastwood? I saw Claudine Baretto! She was having dinner at Recipe and she even pointed at me when we passed by outside! Wow, she noticed me! I was star-struck. Hmmm, well, not as much as my mommy though. My mommy was kinda embarassing cause she kept passing by the resto, and even stopped outside! My ates left her there and we pretended not to know her, hihihi!

You know what? I was kinda like a celebrity too. A lot of people were pointing at me. Some even approached to pat me and say hi. One even took a picture! Hihihi, I was feeling really high :D

Here's a picture of one of my fans, hihihi...
I'm a star!

Boy, was I poofed with all the walking we did. Had to lie down a couple of times to recharge...
I'm tired Where to next?

After the walk, we went home. I was so sleepy then, I even fell asleep at the door of my mommy and daddy's room.
zzzzzZZZZZZZ!

Well, that's it -- my Eastwood gimmick. If you want to see more pictures, click here

I will miss you tita Becky!

Something Smells

Ooops, I did something wrong today! I was in the car with my mommy and ate LA and we were on our way home from a quick errand when it happened. I ate so much before leaving the house, and I guess that wasn't such a good idea, cause my tummy was acting up on our way home. I tried to stop it from happening, but, alas - it didn't want to be stopped. I FARTED in the car! Oh no, how embarassing *red-faced*! Now the car smells really bad. My ates always say that I have the smelliest utot. And it sticks too! :( It stuck to me, and I smelled awful! No one could get near me :( My mommy had no choice but to bathe me again, hihihi.

Anyway, I am all cleaned up now and smelling quite nice. We are going to Eastwood tonight for dinner and my ate LA is fixing me up real cute. It's my tita Becky's despedida dinner, so of course I am going too. I'm her favorite after all, hihihi. I'm so excited!

They're my Friends - NOT!

These are my visitor friends. My ever-compatible, super-close, cannot-live-without friends. I am always ECSTATICALLY and DELIRIOUSLY happy when they come and visit...

Chloe - galit sa mundoTanya the LionWhitie the Bee

And if you bought that, you must be daft! ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME??? They're dogs! Granted that some of them are cute ones... but still, that doesn't change the fact that they're scary, unruly creatures (except for me, of course). Haaay... I don't know why they kept going to our house. It's not like I invite, you know?! Oh ok, ok.. I should stop being bad. I'm not really this mean-spirited. I'm actually quite sweet when you get to know me. It's just that they scare me :( I couldn't do anything when they're here. I couldn't even move :(

Chloe, the black and white one, was the scariest of all. She's so bouncy and noisy! I don't know what her problem is, but she seemed to be so angry at the world! She kept moving about and barking at everything in site. She even barked at the poor fishy-fishies when she was here! *shivers* - scary.

Tanya and ChloeAre they sisters?

Then there was Tanya. Tanya went here with Chloe. They must be friends. Or maybe they're sisters. They don't look alike though. Then again, I don't look like my sisters too... so maybe they are. Hmmm, whatchathink? Anyhoo, Tanya was much milder than Chloe. She doesn't bark so much. Actually, I don't remember her barking at all. But I heard my ate LA and ate Sheila say she'll look like a lion when she grows up. A LION! Oh ok, I don't know what that is. But it sounds mean. And she's got these big hands and feet!

Lastly, there's the BEE. Her name's Whitie but I call her the bee cause ate LA said she was wearing a bee outfit (whatever that is). They were trying to make me play with her, but I was just so scared. They said she was really cute. Don't I look cute too? :(


Is she cuter than me?Make her go away!
Well, how can I look cute when I was SO terrified???

I had to go up the chair to be safe. But then I was stuck there, cause she stayed right below me!

Alis dyan!I'm stuck!

But then she started getting my toys. She was able to take culture crash! Oh no! I couldn't do anything though cause I had to secure my higher ground. Poor culture crash - a casualty of war :(

Poor culture crash!

Haay, I'm just glad that was over. I just hope they don't return anymore. Though I doubt that. I have to be prepared. Gotta go exercise...
