<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got this new hound last September.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh what was I thinking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I work 3 days in a week now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I consider this as full time work ;-))</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So you wondered why and how this can happen:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLwqHeNlG1CnQ_llBkPCjfdUfJqmWTDvhYFkNaLH9VOW5qOJFwbJX3YB3qcXRYVfGRFw6UG_nKFYYG-FG-faQhbqW3uhkNwS8zl8a8-eUBOW0Ziw9v-JaHfWBRQWEOqjdyyYwkdMpMir0/s1600/oct29+080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLwqHeNlG1CnQ_llBkPCjfdUfJqmWTDvhYFkNaLH9VOW5qOJFwbJX3YB3qcXRYVfGRFw6UG_nKFYYG-FG-faQhbqW3uhkNwS8zl8a8-eUBOW0Ziw9v-JaHfWBRQWEOqjdyyYwkdMpMir0/s400/oct29+080.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is my 10 year old superdog Sweepy's paw on the right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the left is Babur's paw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A month old pup brought by our former maid to our house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
knowing I won't be able to say no to adoption.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course Myrna, our former maid, is wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always say no to adoption</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially when I had several dogs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the knowledge that I would not be able to care well for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may love animals but I can say no to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when Babur was sent to me . . .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
, , , , I said yes right away!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweepy is the only dog left (Sumo passed away)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and how can I say no to a face like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a sucker for cute faces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I am too busy to adopt now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but so what!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is always room for love . . .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
. . . just as I hope my superdog Sweepy will also find room in his heart for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My dog Sweepy gets antsy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when people stay at our gate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dogs are protective of their territory</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and even if Leo is a regular visitor at our gate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he gets barked at by Sweepy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leo is deaf mute but we understand each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leo would simply make a sign language</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I knew instantly that he is hungry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't afford to adopt but I surely can afford to feed Leo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
whenever he visits . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am doing some illustrations when Leo passed by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I invited him to join me:</div>

I started writing his name and mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he got them perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured he must have studied in a school.</div>

Then Leo made a drawing of a house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He indicated that it was something he wanted.</div>

A big house with trees, animals, a car, fruits, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then he was done drawing.</div>

So you see I try to extend a hand to passersby down Heaven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And even if Sweepy growls angrily</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he surely is proud to call my attention</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to people like Leo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

You start with a good manual ice crusher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This
cool summery delight is called Halo-halo which stands for mixed
concoction (mostly fruits) on a bed of crushed ice. I like to think of
halo-halo to best describe our culture of mixed inspiration from our
neighboring east and from the west.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my tropical
country it is always a welcome snacks. And my sister Luchie would always
try to prepare some ingredients which are then cooled in the fridge so
we can have <i>halo-halo</i> any time we like!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I like halo-halo in the afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a break from creative work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it provides a good chillout snacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only wish my dog Sweepy can have some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but he can only have his own flavored yogurt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which he finishes fastbreak in a minute</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before I can even take my second taste of halo-halo!</div>

Petrocelli is a stray cat we feed on the roof.</div>

I have a superdog (whatever it means!)</div>

It may seem that I am gone for a long time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that I was sick or something</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I am OK, and holding on . . . </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
May got me busy with several projects</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and most of my gadgets went pffft</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the weather was unbearably HOT </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I demanded more ME time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(to be able to do the things I needed to do) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I forgot to inform most of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And for that I'm sorry . . .</div>

Now the problem is how to update</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using this new blog </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(which means I needed to redesign using unfamiliar PCs)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and hoping to lead old friends to this as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully, sooner that I wish... </div>Luihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04842447994527828245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290953101483760878.post-17722626975936825722012-05-09T00:37:00.000-07:002012-06-03T20:11:34.821-07:00May Welcomes Me Back!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am back.<br />
This is my new home <i>for now. </i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of things happened and I feel like groping my way again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know how my friend felt after recovering from her stroke.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You lose your grip.<br />
You lose your sanity a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then you know . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time will reveal itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe this time, time is on my side. . .</div>Luihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04842447994527828245noreply@blogger.com4
