It may be a small breed of dog or the large one. For me, I want the large breeds. But choosing a dog breed needs a lot of consideration too and I think too much consideration goes to the capacity of the potential owner to provide a decent home for the dog. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ayosdito.ph/">Ayosdito.ph</a> is an eCommerce website where you can post an ad about an item you want to sell. There are certain <a href="http://www.ayosdito.ph/about/index.htm?ca=14_s&page=rules">restrictions</a> though about the type of items you can post for sale and I think every site has its own rules and regulations. But the good thing is ad posting in <a href="http://www.ayosdito.ph/">Ayosdito.ph</a> is for FREE!!! :) <br />
<br />
I was browsing the website today and I saw an ad about a <a href="http://www.ayosdito.ph/Chow+2months+old-2219463.htm">puppy for sale</a>. It's not an ordinary puppy but a chow chow breed puppy. I was drooling over the photo posted along with the details of how to contact the seller. The puppy was so cute and cuddly because of it's thick hair. I really wanted to have my own puppy ever since but as of now, I still can't afford to have one. I don't have my own place yet and not to mention that it will need a lot of money to take good care of the puppy. As I've heard from a friend before that having a dog is also like having a baby. It's costly and needs a lot of your attention. For now, I'll just be contented in looking at those photos over the internet and look forward to the day that I can afford to buy and raise a Chow chow puppy of my own.<br />

</tbody></table>I'm not sure if Chow chow belongs to the large breeds of dogs but nevertheless, I still do want to have one in the future. :) How about you?

I almost forgot that today is my dad's birthday. I want to say something about my dad but I'd rather not because I might get too emotional hahaha...We don't talked that much and we are not vocal of how we feel. We are not that close unlike my sister Hazel. Even though we are that strange I know for a fact that he will always be there in times I'll need him the most (I've already proven that). He may not be a perfect father but he is a good one. Hey! no one is perfect in this big crazy world right?<br />
<br />
He may not read this but I still want to say thank you dad for every thing and have a happy birthday! This one's for you...<br />

I'm so concerned that he is getting small grades in school and not to mention that he's still not good in reading. I've really thought that he was listening behind me and when I turned around to look at him...there he was lying in the bed sleeping with a headset on.<br />

I want to share with you a song from the 90's that I love. It's a song from Savage Garden entitled Crash and Burn. I always love this song and even though I don't have a talent in singing, I've sung this song to my one and only hubby...my one and only best friend (according to him) hahaha...<br />
<br />

Here's the lyrics of the song and the music video:<br />

<b>"Crash And Burn"</b><br />
<br />
When you feel all alone<br />
And the world has turned its back on you<br />
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart<br />
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you<br />
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold<br />
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore<br />
<br />
Let me be the one you call<br />
If you jump I'll break your fall<br />
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night<br />
If you need to fall apart<br />
I can mend a broken heart<br />
If you need to crash then crash and burn<br />
You're not alone<br />
<br />
When you feel all alone<br />
And a loyal friend is hard to find<br />
You're caught in a one way street<br />
With the monsters in your head<br />
When hopes and dreams are far away and<br />
You feel like you can't face the day<br />
<br />
Let me be the one you call<br />
If you jump I'll break your fall<br />
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night<br />
If you need to fall apart<br />
I can mend a broken heart<br />
If you need to crash then crash and burn<br />
You're not alone<br />
<br />
'Cause there has always been heartache and pain<br />
And when it's over you'll breathe again<br />
You'll breath again<br />
<br />
When you feel all alone<br />
And the world has turned its back on you<br />
Give me a moment please<br />
To tame your wild wild heart<br />
<br />
Let me be the one you call<br />
If you jump I'll break your fall<br />
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night<br />
If you need to fall apart<br />
I can mend a broken heart<br />
If you need to crash then crash and burn<br />

It was during the time that my heart is aching and longing for a friend that I've lost along the way for some reasons I can't comprehend yet until now. I'm still missing her that much. I only have few friends in this lifetime and she's one of my treasured friends. I kept on telling my self that every thing has its reasons and time will come that I'm going to understand the reasons behind all these. My only wish right now is that, it will come soon. I've read comments in Youtube about this song and mostly people are dedicating this to their ex-boyfriends but in my case I'm dedicating this to a dear friend...my bestfriend, my truth in every lie, my sanity in my crazy world, my sanctuary...<br />

<br />
It has been so long since we have talked<br />
I hope that things are still the same<br />
hoping they will never change<br />
cause what we had can't be replaced<br />
don't let our memories fade away<br />
keep me in your heart for always<br />
<br />
You made me believe<br />
that I can do almost anything<br />
stood right by me<br />
through the tears through everything<br />
<br />
I'll remember you,<br />
and baby that's forever true<br />
you're the one that I'll always miss<br />
never thought it would feel like this<br />
I'll be there for you, <br />
no matter what you're going through<br />
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby....<br />
I'll remember you<br />
<br />
I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried<br />
You'll always be the sun in my sky<br />
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday<br />
Even though we go separate ways<br />
<br />
You made me believe<br />
that I can do almost anything<br />
You stood right by me<br />
through the tears through everything<br />

I'll remember you,<br />

I'll be there for you, <br />
no matter what your going through<br />
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby....<br />
I'll remember you<br />
<br />
If the day should come when you need someone<br />
you know that I'll follow...<br />
I will be there!<br />
Don't ever let there<br />
be a doubt in your mind <br />
'cause I'll remember you, yooou<br />
<br />
I'll remember you,<br />
and baby that's forever true<br />
you're the one that I'll always miss<br />

I cried just by looking at those pictures. My heart bleeds for them because I can feel their pain that they are going through. We also gone through the same thing. Their daughter died of a vehicular accident. She was driving the motorcycle too fast without a helmet on. She stayed in the ICU fighting for dear life but she was called home by God on the 10th day. My sister died on a road accident 7 years ago. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
She was on her way home from our friend's house, the PUJ that she hailed was pushed towards her by a forwarder truck at the back. It happens so fast that she wasn't able to jumped out of the way. The impact caused the PUJ to be out of control and bumped into the concrete post of Davao Light & Power Company making a huge dent on the PUJ's bumper and you know what's so painful too think all of these, my sister is in between the concrete post and the PUJ's bumper. She was brought to DMC, a government hospital here in Davao. The attendant declared her Dead on Arrival. I still have her death tag it was signed by Dr. Pantaleon.<br />

</tbody></table>Yes, it was 7 years ago last July 31 but the pain is still the same. I still cried whenever I think of her and how things are going to be if she's still here. I don't have the right to ask God why. All I can do is to accept that she went home ahead of me. I still regretted the times wasted when she's still around. It is a sad truth that we take people for granted as if they will be around forever. Only when they die that we realized how much we have missed them. We are so suck up with our own life's problem that we took for granted the person who were always there to support us. I was a year older than her but my sister acts & talks like she was the "ate". She was the strong willed and I am the weakling. She was the happy-go-lucky-come-what-may and I am the serious one. She was talkative and I was the quiet one. I am her exact opposite so to speak but nothing can beat a sister's bond. We have our differences but when I know she loves me for who I am. I can be whom I want to be, do whatever I want to be but at the end of the day she will still accept me just as I am. No questions asked. <br />
<br />
During my sister's funeral, I never said goodbye to her because it is next to impossible to forget her. She will always be remembered, her face etched in my heart. The longing of her presence will continue until we meet again. Until then my confidante, my critic, my hero....my sister.ADAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16016532727896880983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206775105753581071.post-45437955259024564302011-08-06T10:00:00.000+08:002011-08-08T21:54:37.410+08:00Almost HereI was out yesterday with my son, Kurt. We went to the downtown part of Davao and as we passed by the Bankerohan Bridge, I saw lots of colorful flags along the side and that reminds me that the yearly <i><span style="color: black;">Kadayawan Festival</span></i> is almost here. I've been living here for almost half my life but I don't go out that much during the festival. I don't have much patience when it comes to the traffic, noise and the weather. Actually, the hot weather is the major factor. hahaha...<br />

<a name='more'></a>Last year, I've remembered that my friend Steph and I went to SM City grounds around 2:00 PM to watch the floral float display and checked out the Agri-Trade Fair and Horticulture Exhibit at the same venue. It wasn't a planned get together. We were bored and so stressed out of the school works that we've decided to chill out. We had fun seeing the beautiful orchids and of course eating the famous durian. The highlight of our bonding moment was we had tried out the Henna tattoo. We passed by a booth that offers henna tattoo and sells native products at the same time, a guy offered us to have a henna tattoo and we've decided to try it out. It was a fun having my first ever henna tattoo experience.<br />

It was my second time to be at <a href="http://www.outlandadventure.org/" target="_blank">Outland Adventure</a> located at Ma-a, Diversion Road, Davao City. The first time I was here was with my high school friend Vedessa with her husband and parents-in-law. I wasn't able to get a copy of the shot when I've zipped doing the sitting position. It wasn't that scary compared to the inverted position but being a first timer in a zipline, I've screamed my lungs out...hahaha...<br />

<a name='more'></a>I've swear that I'll never going to do it again. It scared the hell out of me. But I was compelled to do it again because I needed to accompany a Singapore-based friend who is visiting the country for the first time, Yiping. She's a Chinese daredevil in the making, a doer, an adventurer, a risk taker, fun-loving individual. I brought her to Outland Adventure so she can try the zip line. When we arrived at the site, we were given a waiver to be signed by us, riders. The form is all about the limited liability of the company when it comes to any accident that will happened within the premises. Don't be scared though. I can say that it's safe that even a kid can ride the zip line if that kid is daring enough. After signing, we were directed to the area where we have to put on the safety gears. After the orientation, we had to take a short hike to the side of a stream and raft to the other side and climbed a flight of steps to the starting zip zone. I was gasping for air and reaching the top of the hill was an accomplishment for me. Yiping was always cheering me all the way up. It was just easy for her to climbed the hill because she's into yoga while I'm not into any form of workout at all. I'm more of a couch potato. I can't bring my lazy butt into doing even some simple form of exercise. <br />

</tbody></table>We've stayed at the top for a while waiting for our turn to be called. During our first zip, we did the superman position and the second one was already in inverted position. The second time we zip, I was more concerned of the process of climbing up the hill. I was really wishing that time I have the powers to make an instant ride to the top of the hill that time. Oh well, for adventures sake, I did it. It was really fun. I can't thank Yiping enough for making me do something I thought I'm not capable of doing. This adventure thought me that sometimes, the things we are afraid to do in life can be done by just closing our eyes and jump without hesitation. Trust who is in-charge and just enjoy the ride. When you're there, you'll be amazed that it wasn't that scary as it seems. When you learn to let go and let live, life can be fun after all.<br />

</tbody></table>A once in a lifetime adventure! I think everyone should try this. I've heard that they have a new zip line called The Repentor. It's much longer than "The Excelerator" and promises to have a scream factor. Who says extreme can't be fun?? For me, it's definitely worth trying for! Check out the <a href="http://www.outlandadventure.org/" target="_blank">Outland Adventure</a> website & have fun! :)ADAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16016532727896880983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206775105753581071.post-1691206844330780292011-07-31T22:16:00.005+08:002011-08-13T19:30:08.482+08:00ReunitedToday marks the 7th year of losing someone dear to us, my sister. We lost her in a road accident 7 years ago. Every year since she left us, we gather in our farm where we buried our dear departed ones. My dad made a space in the farm intended as a family mausoleum so that when we want to visit them during All Souls day we don't have to hopped from one cemetery to the other. Time & energy saving!<br />

<a name='more'></a>This year, our-very-dear-friend-soul-sister Gayang is on a vacation. She's based in Bologna,Italy. She took the time to travel from General Santos City to Kidapawan City just to visit Hazel's grave. Sweet! I can't thank her enough for that. She bought a dozen of white roses which is Hazel's favorite flower.<br />

We had our lunch near the grave. I've almost ate everything...hahaha. We've prepared, pork BBQ which is my mom's specialty, a grilled Bangus, Bam-i, gulaman, suman, bottled Coca-cola etc....The kids had a blast running around. Oh well, there's nothing much to expect from children. All they cared is when they can play, what to play, who to play with and of course the toys. Not to mention the food to eat and where to eat hahaha...Their world is so uncomplicated.<br />
<br />
Before we left the farm, me and Gayang had our picture taken beside Hazel's tombstone. A happy-sad reunion of the three of us - Powerpuff girls as our friends called us before. Three souls united to make a noise & differences in each others lives. We missed you Haze! Terribly...<br />

That's when I've realized that I've been too preoccupied with the upcoming validation exam to be given by the university that I totally forgot that I still don't have the NBI clearance needed for the PRC application for the CPA board exams. So even if I passed the validation exams of the university I still won't be able to take the CPA board exams if I can't file my application at the PRC.<br />

<br />
Dawn of July 27, together with my friend Nelden - who also doesn't have the NBI clearance yet went to the NBI satellite office here in Davao city. It's exactly 2:30 am when we've reached the office along Bajada fronting the Victoria Plaza mall. As expected, there's already a pile of persons waiting for the office to release the NBI clearance form. At 2:30 am, I was already the 54th person in line. The NBI officer will released the forms at around 6:00 in the morning. The experienced really tested my endurance as well as my patience. I was standing for 4 hours waiting for the gates to open. Finally, at 30 minutes past 6:00 am, I got the clearance form to be filled up by the required data. You must be careful of the data you write in it. It must be correct because erasing it my mere crossing out is not allowed. You have to erase it by a correction fluid and if you don't have one, you can approached a certain person in there that sells the fluid at Php 1 per line of error. So if you don't want to pay, don't forget to bring your own correction fluid or correction tape.<br />

After filling out the form, we waited for the cashier window to opened so we can pay the amount of Php 115.00 for the NBI clearance for local purpose only, it is not valid for travel abroad. The clearance for travel abroad costs different. I think, around Php 140. At exactly 7:45am, the cashier started to call the priority numbers by 10's. I was number 54 so I belonged to the 6th batch and so was Nelden who was at number 53. After paying the exact amount we waited for our names to be called at the processing window. While waiting for the names to be called, I kept on praying for strength. I felt weak already because I wasn't able to bring water and I wasn't able to eat anything while waiting on the line. My stomach aches and so is my head. My sweats are cold and my neck hurts. At last, my name was called and my data are processed after that I was called to do the biometric scan. My hands are shaking while the police intern assists me to the finger scanner to get my fingerprints and so is Nelden. The intern jokingly asks her "walay pamahaw ma'am?" (had no breakfast, ma'am?) which obviously is true. We were waiting in the line since 2:30am!<br />
<br />
At 9:30am, we were smiling while going out of the NBI Davao Satellite Office holding out our NBI clearances. Whew! What an experience! So that explains why there are so many people on the office because as of now, only Davao has a computer that can process the application and get the clearance on the same day. All the people of nearby provinces who needs an NBI clearance are coming in here to apply.<br />
<br />
<b>After this experienced, the tips I can give you is:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> <i>Be there early if you want to finish early. </i>There are only 500 forms to be released every day. So if you want to be included on the 500 be there early. And the advantage of being early is that the weather is not that hot. The heat is tolerable unlike when it's already noon the waiting area will be so hot.<br />
<br />
<b>2)</b> <i>Bring water and some biscuits to munch while waiting.</i> It will be a lot of help giving you energy to finish the task.<br />
<br />
<b>3)</b> <i>Don't forget your black ballpen & correction tape.</i> Only black ink is allowed to be used on the clearance form and correction fluid or tape for any mistakes on the form.<br />
<br />
<b>4) </b><i>Bring a ponytail.</i> During the picture taking, you need to tie your hair so that your ears can be seen on the photo. Don't wear your earrings, you will be required to take it off.<br />
<br />
<b>5)</b> Go with a friend. The whole process of waiting isn't that boring when you have someone to talk while waiting in line.<br />
<br />
<b>6)</b> Most of all, <i>Pray. </i>I was so grateful that it was an answered prayer. Having the NBI clearance on that day was a gift. We went there never expecting of getting it right away because we thought that it was still the same process that all NBI clearances were sent to Manila and you have to wait for 3 weeks or more for the NBI clearance to be released.<br />
<br />
I have my NBI clearance now, I can already concentrate on preparing for the validation exam. Thank you so much Lord!<br />

As my life unfolds right through my very eyes, I've already shown different faces of who I am in how I've dealt every surprises life gave me. They say that dealing things in life is just a mind over matter but no matter how I've tried I can't erase the fact that every once in a while I need to voice out how much I've been keeping inside. Join me as I plunged into the unknown full of hope as I journey towards self-discovery and earn more credits in this lifetime to balanced out my debit side. :)</span></span>ADAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16016532727896880983noreply@blogger.com0
