daily blatherings

I really miss the fiesta celebrations that they do in the Philippines. It happens every year. The village where I grew up usually celebrates around September and the city (Maasin City) celebrates around August. It so much fun especially when all my relatives gather around for some food. There’s nothing like it. For some it’s a time to have some fun and for some, a time to rant. This is also the time for lecture. LOL. Yup. I used to always get told off around this time because I did something naughty. O_O.

I used to hate parts of it because I knew that one of my aunts would eventually caught up with me to say that they were disappointed in me. They’d do it almost everytime I am about to eat one of my favorite foods and it was my Aunt’s macaroni salad. The conversation would always start with: I heard from your other aunt that… blah, blah, blah… I can’t believe… blah, blah blah. LOL. In my mind I would be like: Oh geez here we go again! :P

I used to hate that part, BUT(!!) I didn’t hate the food. The food was awesome! I also used to enjoy my cousin’s company. I didn’t see them often, but like I said, everyone gathers when there’s a fiesta celebration. They’d come from different places, Davao, bukid, etc. I used to look forward to that part. It was fun to hang out with them. Some were cool cousins and some weren’t so cool. :P.

Now that I am older and far away from home I miss it and wants to experience it again. I’ve been looking at photos on Friendster and I can’t help but wonder what it’s like. It’s been so long. Maybe someday when the kids are older I can take them and let them experience it too. :-) ♥

I am sorry but Adam Lambert is starting to bug me. He’s different. We know. SO WHAT? Nothing new there. Every body is different so why should we care if he’s different, eccentric, whatever? Duh. He can sing but he screams like his intentions are to break the mirrors. LOL. Sick and tired of looking at these odd looking people. I wish there was a hide this person button everywhere on the internetz. LOL.

Blast me with your hater comments. Like I really care. LOL. Spam, spam, delete, delete. Hihihi.

I am so pleased that Mr. Bear is doing well with house training. He now stands by the door whenever he feels the need to pee or poop. He’s only been with us 4-5 weeks and we are *this* close to making house training perfect! We don’t trust him 100% yet because he’s still a baby. He’s going to have an accident but as long as he knows he’s not supposed to pee and poop inside, I am happy! :-) In a few weeks we are going to take him to obedience training and agility class. We want him to be a good boy and we want him to have some fun. :-) He’s just like a little kid. :-)

When we took Bear to the vet yesterday, the Vet’s assistant gave us a free 30 minute obedience training. We thought it was very helpful and we’ve seen some improvement in Bear since we followed what she told us to do. I shouldn’t say “some” improvement because it’s actually a big improvement. I am so glad and I cannot wait for the obedience classes start.

I guess I just wanted to let you know that Bear’s doing good and he’s doing well with the house training. I plan to post pics later and I think you will be very surprised at the pics. I will do that soon. :-)

Oh and I have to share this! Jonathon called every dog at the Veterinarian “BEAR!”. LOL. I think the kid is confused! We actually considered changing Bear’s name to “DAWG!” LMAO!!!

Ryan bought a computer today. Well, he paid half and then I paid half as an early birthday present. I know his birthday isn’t on until October, but he really needed a new one because his computer caught a virus. I thought that he was joking! I lost my faith in him at first because I thought it was too much of a coincidence to get a virus 5 days after we went to BestBuy! LOL. I teased him and asked if he downloaded the virus on purpose. He said he didn’t, but I dunno…. hmm… What do you think? Crafteee…. yah? :P.

As for the computer, he got an Asus brand. I think it is intended for gaming purposes. He’s really happy with it and I am really glad for him because his old computer kept freezing on him. It was very frustrating especially when he was caught up in a game! I am glad he’s got a new one. :-)

As for me, I am waiting for Windows 7. It comes out this October! Eeeeeeeeee! I am excited! Hubby said I should wait until Christmas because he thinks “Santa ♥ Baby” is working on it. We’ll see. :P

Jonathon is so cheeky. I gave him a bit of my clementine with a bit of skin on it and guess what he did? He wiped it on me after he decided that he’s done chewing it. #_#.

I haven’t really blogged about Jonathon because I lost interest in blogging after I discovered twitter, plurk and facebook. Most of my friends online and offline are on Facebook and I thought it was so much better to update my boring life over there to bore them to tears. :P. Joke aside, I really wanted my family and friends in England and Texas to know how we are doing. Most of them are always on FB updating too. :-)

Anyhow, Jonathon’s learning a lot and saying a few words already. Like ball, Bear, mama, dada, etc. He can’t pronounce L’s and R’s yet but I think he’s working on it. :-) He’s very much into everything. He’s no longer on formula and is now eating grown up foods and whole milk! Woohoo! He loves to share food with me. He wants whatever I have. Sometimes he takes over eating my food and that for me is a problem because he doesn’t want to eat his portion when he’s done eating mine. So right now, we’re working on him eating his own portion of food.

Here he is with Mr. Bear. I love seeing them together. I already imagine them walking side by side in the future (puhon) and the tables have turned by then. Bear will be a lot bigger and weigh twice as big as Jonathon (puhon). :-)

I am currently out in the backyard waiting for the sun to come out and I found this! :-) I can’t wait for my two favourite seasons! Fall and Winter! They’re coming!

Woke up coz bear was screaming in his crate. He wanted to go to the loo! First thing he did when I opened the door to his crate was run to the kitchen door to go outside! I am very glad that he did that! Makes waking up at 4am worth it. :-)

He did both deeds when he was out and now he is back in his crate. He’s very quiet now! I should go back to sleep and stop playing with the iPhone! Duh! Good night!

P.S waking up at 4am reminds me of when Jonathon was a newborn! I am glad he no longer requires feeding during the night! Whew!
