Sanctuary Center Welfareville Mandaluyong

We had a field trip two weeks ago and we've been to the Sanctuary Center at Welfareville, Mandaluyong City. This place is a haven for women who used to be mentally ill because they are former NCMH patients. This is one way of exposing the students to interact with patients so they know how to act and behave with future clients.

Goodbye My Little First Born Shih Tzu

Oh what a pain to experience loss and goodbyes.
Even for a little puppy.
It's been two days since she was sold and I am so attached to her.
I can't help but feel sad and until now I can't stop from crying.
I look like a fool crying over a puppy.
Well the last time I cried was when the other puppy has eye infection.
That was last Thursday, a week ago.
I also cried silently when I gave this little puppy away.
Now, I thought of getting her back and keeping them all to myself.
But I am pregnant and will be having a baby soon.
Of course, I can't take it back.
I have to deal with the pain.
huhuhuhuhuhu...

Six Unimportant things/habits/quirks about myself.

1. I have a good memory and it is bad because I tend to remember those who has done me wrong and those who has done me right.

2. I am a borderline Obessive-Compulsive person, so I try hard not to overdo it, I list things mentally, If I planned a task, it should be followed or else, I'd get anxious. I am the only OC person who is very makalat. I believe if I started to clean things up, I'd be on my way to a full blown OC disorder.

3. I am lactose-intolerance. After drinking milk, I'd go straight to the CR to eliminate waste.

4. I do not want to throw away things, plastics, mineral water container, I even wash microwavable plastics, I do not throw any paper that has a clean side because I will still use them for printing, and if I have a spare used paper, I would still keep it to pick up dog litter.

5. I like to think I am a girl scout, I never ran out of tissue paper, I have a pen in different colors, I have a stapler, I have a glue, I have a correction fluid, I have a small sewing kit, pins, etc. Ask me for anything, I guess I have them.

6. I thought I can read minds but I do not see dead people.

Now I am tagging

Two Months Old Shih Tzu and Lessons Learned From Dogs

Just want to share the latest pictures of our puppies. Aren't they cute?
Raising puppies is like raising multiple twins or perhaps raising a household of kids.
Puppies get jealous too, if you play with one, the other will complain, you have to play with all of them. If you carry one, you have to carry them all.

The ordinal position of being youngest or eldest also holds true in puppies. The first born tend to be so bossy and a leader. The second born is always jealous of the first born, they are always quarreling. The next two are mellow and they are often bullied by the eldest and the second puppy. My favorite is the youngest because she is very sweet and dependent that makes her so appealing. She would wimp whenever she wants to be carried and she always follows me around. She already recognizes her owner.

Irwin and I shared the responsibility of caring for these puppies. He would clean the cage while I would play with them outside. Last Sunday, we washed their dirty coats, not bathe because they cannot take a bath yet. We just washed their coat with warm soapy water and Irwin would blow dry them. Funny, the eldest who we thought was the bravest and a bully is afraid of the blower.

When in comes to discipline, I realized that I am very permissive, I would let them play outside the cage. The tendency is for them to litter around the house, Irwin doesn't like it because he always cleans the floor. Irwin is the disciplinarian type I guess.

What can I do I have a merciful heart I do not want them suffering but as some parents said "spare the rod, spoil the child", this time I may be spoiling my dogs.

Late Valentine Blog

I'm so out of focus these days, so late in blogging, so many pending things to do. Maybe after today I'll find time to write something new. Got this flowers from Irwin last February 14. I know it's late and it's the last day of February. Happy February 29! Tomorrow will be March 1 and I can't wait for classes to finish, that's why I am rushing to finish things at school.

I remember what Will, my Korean student told me on how they celebrate Valentine's day in Korea. Females would give males chocolates for Valentine's, whether you like the person or not. It is a time where you remember your male friends, officemates, co-worker or superior. Wow, some Korean male can have as much chocolate as he wants if he has a lot of friends and maybe if he is famous.

On March 14, it will be the males turn to buy the females candy on this day. Interesting isn't it.

I remember when I was still studying at the College of Science in UST, organizations would sell roses during Valentine's day and my male classmates would chip in to buy us all flowers especially delivered to our class. Of course, my pretty classmates has a lot of flowers on this day because they have a lot of suitors.

Every Valentine's day when I had a boyfriend, Irwin would always give me flowers from Dangwa and sometimes delivered from Holland Blooms or Holland Tulips. My officemates would at night go to Dangwa to buy flowers to give to their girlfriend or wife. It is an example of male bonding on Valentine's day.

This Valentine's though, I tried to send my mother flowers from Holland Blooms and delivered it to her office, para sikat. I'm sure she is very happy. You know how mothers are.
