Meet Alab!!!

Today is ALAB's birthday! and as promised in the previous blog that I wrote announcing his existence which you can read by clicking THIS, here you will find the entry about his full story!

You have read about my cats and now it's time to post about my new (youngest) child, his name is ALAB (Blaze in English.) Formerly known as Caesar, I decided to give him a Filipino name, after all he is an Aspin (Asong Pinoy / native dog of the Philippines)

Contrary to his name that suggests power and strength, Alab remains sweet and gentle, a perfect companion dog for my senior folks. But wait till he sees her sister Sheba ay nako! that's when he bursts into flames with excitement! He'd play with her sister all day long! So cute to see them both!

Me and my friends/mentors, started training Alab when he was just around 2 weeks old, it took me forever before I finally decided to adopt him. He was the only one left in the shelter, all his brothers and sisters were already adopted, then a fellow volunteer of mine said someone was already interested on taking him, I said "that's it! I'm taking him home!"

Here's my attempt to tell the story through photos. Here it goes...

*Here is the first picture I took of him at home, it's his first 24 hours in the Feliciano household. More importantly, it's his first 24 hours of having a permanent home.
*One of my cats (Val) was trying to intimidate him; trying to show who the boss is!

*Maybe a week after that, I brought him back to the shelter wearing his new collar! From the pictures you can already tell that he was a shy dog. look how small he is! Such a tiny little thing :)

*Here's another one... cute!!!

*Months later I decided to have him neutered since he's starting to mark and I hate it! I bring him in the office and it was embarrassing how he was painting the corners yellow with his spray! Special thanks to Dr. Wilford Almoro and kuya Khevin for doing the procedure!

*Here's a closer look!
*And Here's Alab one day before he turns 9 months!

*Here's him standing gracefully a week and 2 days ago!

*Here's another one at the door waiting for me to go in!

Today March 28 is his birthday and he is one year old! I know I've said this a thousand times before but I'll say it again... I have yet to write about what I do for a living and Alab is a big part of it! He actually is my co-worker or office mate but from a different department! So watch out for that!

Also, wait for his birthday party pictures soon!

Race Congquered! The Amazing Kidney Race!

(03.13.10)

Last week (03.07.10) I my 1st 15k for the Amazing Kidney Race. Though I was so disappointed the race started very late, (6:30am as supposed to 5:45am) I'm just glad I made it to the cut-off time for me to earn a finisher medal. Cut-off time was 1:45 and I finished at 1:44+

I never got the chance to even wear my medal coz I was so in a hurry for work! It's my second for this year and I love having them!

I just have to mention that the race were flocked by runners who have bubble butts and are wearing tights! I see runners in tights all the time (both men and woman) but they don't always have nice tight butts! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't wear tights if you don't have the buns for it. All I'm saying is that I appreciate those extra lumps.

WHO CARES ABOUT MY OPINION ANYWAY? you can say :)

Butt, I mean BUT yeah, this event had full of 'em protruding butts!

Dear Jerry

(02.22.10)

Dear Jerry,

Remember the last time we were together? I think that was way back April 2002! That day was so much fun! It was our graduation day! That day we finished high school! Though we continued to be friends, exchanging messages and all, I never really got the chance to see you again until last Wednesday. You were wearing formal attire, more formal than what we were wearing in our graduation, you had some make-up on, you were so quiet, you were so still, you were, in a coffin.

Jerry, I really don't know what to say, I closed my eyes and tried to pray. Instead, flashbacks of very happy memories flooded my head and left me with no words to utter. This very moment, I'm still not sure on how to continue writing this letter, the more I try to think of what to write, the more my head goes blank. Maybe I just have to give in to what my mind wants to do and reminisce on our happy times... Here it goes...

I was always looking forward to the end of the class coz we usually hang out in your place and do our home work! We even made our mock-up graduation cap there! We spent some good times in your house with the gang, Edna, Clarla, Donna, Paul, Rainer, Abu, Nap, and Christopher. It was pure fun, except the part when Nap and I got held up right after saying goodbye to you at the gate! That was scary! haha! Ok here's a good one, It was you who taught me the song "Cry" by Mandy Moore! I was arguing that her song "Crush" was her best song yet, you said"No! Not till you hear that song, I Know you'll like it when you hear it!" I said "When and where did you hear it?" you said "in the 2002 MTV Asia music awards, Mandy Moore even sang it with Regine Velasquez!" Haha you know me so well you even had to stress the name Regine Velasquez as if It meant that if Regine sang it then it must be a really good song! Few days later you learned the tittle of the song, bought a copy of her album and played it when were (yet again) in your house. I didn't fall in love with the song instantly but eventually I did.

Some good times there huh Jer? I was hoping it never ended but it did. Or maybe I just have to think that our good times were put to a pause since you have to rest and will resume again when we get to where you are now. Come to think of it Jerry, you seem to be so far now but it is just breath that separates us. Soon we will meet again and will continue having good times as planed. But this time it will be forever.

I love you so much Jerry, my hats off to you for being who you are, kind, loving, you are a positive energy that fills every inch of space that you walk into. Back when we were in senior high I was having a very hard time finishing school and working at the same time to afford it, but with you everything was just simply easier, there was always hope when you are around.

Till the very day I see you again Jerry, remember that I love you so so much. I will miss you for a couple of years. I will see you again. God I don't even want t end this letter. So till we meet again.

On Border Collie Puppies!

I have yet to write about what I do for a living, but here's a little something as a teaser! These are Border Collie pups by the way, their the offsprings of 2 of the best dogs IN THE WORLD Prince and Flirt, in fact, you can see Flirt's (the mom) rear end in the 3rd pic!

This is the first born! Biggest of all!

This is BELT, my favorite! The reason I called her belt is because she has a white stripe across her hips... she's the pinaka makulit of all!

Race Conquered! Condura run for the Dolphins '10

(02.07.10)

Yesterday was my second try to run a half mary... the medal I'm wearing may not mean I won the race, but I won against myself. I finished the race maybe 12 minutes earlier that my 1st record and I did it while trying to suppress the urge to relieve myself (natatae ako for short!). The medal also is a validation of my hard work and perseverance. Even before I started running I already felt good about this day, I knew it was going to be a really good one for me.

Congratulations also to RBC for finishing strong! He too worked hard for this and all the efforts paid off. He finished the race in just 2:49:22 and my non official time is 2:48 something.

And to our avatar's (Anizo & Lem) fans! here they are relaxing after a long race! again, they finished the race gracefully as expected!
