Fur Dad


I never thought that I'll be "furdad" again, but here I am, blogging about the three new members of my household.

Bruno was the one who arrived first. He "magically" appeared right next to my bed as I woke up.


 

Everybody already loves him. How can you not? 
Just look at that face 😊
He can be stubborn at times, but his cuteness enables him to get away with it.
He is also the biggest "baby" out of the three πŸ˜…


The second member of my pawmily is Claudia, the yorkie.
Don't let her teeny tiny size fool ya!
She may be small, but she's full of sass.
She serves as my "alarm clock" which yorkie owners can probably relate to πŸ˜…

We didn't purchase Bruno and Claudia.
Their owners asked us to adopt them.



The last member of my pawmily is Paco the chihuahua.
He was given to us by our vet.
I was hesitant to adopt a third dog, but a dog is a blessing.
Pets are a blessing.
Just like Claudia, don't let his small size fool you.
He can be feisty especially to strangers, but once you call out his name,
he'll come running towards you to give you lots of licks, and will demand for a belly rub. πŸ˜…


The three of them can be a handful, but at the end of the day, the joy they bring me is worth it.
Have a nice day to the people who still remember to drop by my blog after all these years 😊

Afternoon Drive

Just wanted to update my blog after my very loooooooooooooooong absence.
Do people still visit my blog?  Even I rarely visit it πŸ˜‚
Below is a short video of my late afternoon drive around town.
Had nothing much to do that day, and I haven't driven my car in a while because I do not go out as much as I used to due to the pandemic.
When will this annoying pandemic end? Aaaaahhhh! Kakainis!😑

Sorry about the rattling noise my camera kept making.
I guess I wasn't able to secure it tightly on my dash.



Have a nice day. Drive safely 😊

Name That 80s Tune

Got nothing much to do today, so I decided to make a new video.
Been a while since I last made a post in this blog huh?
I'm doing well, and I am also wishing the same to anyone who is still visiting my blog.

So, can you correctly guess all 15 tunes from the 80s?
Have a good time listening and reminiscing 😊

Flashback 2020 - 1975

 It's the end of another year, a year that has been difficult for all of us around the world.

Crossing my fingers that 2021 will be less stressful and more productive. 

A few months ago, I turned 45. Truly entered middle age category. Dadding daddy na talaga πŸ˜…

Decided to make a countdown to celebrate my 45 years of existence! LOL!

Will I still be here 45 years from now? I doubt it. I'll consider myself lucky if I reached 70 or even mid 60s.

45 years. 45 songs.

Starting from 2020 down to 1975.

I didn't include songs that I've already featured in my previous countdowns except for the last one.

So, which year were you born? Which decade is your favorite?

Have a wonderful time listening and reminiscing.

Happy Holidays! 😊

Catching Up!

Yeah! That's right, I haven't blogged in ages πŸ˜‹
To the people who still visit this blog, I hope all of you are doing well in spite of the challenges each one of us are facing due to the pandemic brought about by COVID-19.

I am crossing my fingers that some time next year, all of us can truly start having a sense of normalcy in our lives.
For now, until a vaccine is developed, please act responsibly, wear a face mask and practice social distancing when out in public.


Missing the sea and the sand.
Missing the times when all of us can be outside without the immediate concern for our health πŸ˜₯


Anyway, in my previous blog, I posted a video of Ms. Philippines winning the Ms. Universe crown.
I decided to make another video, a countdown (I like doing countdowns) of evening gowns worn by Philippine candidates at the Ms. Universe pageant during the last decade.
Which ones are you favorites and least favorites?

Okay, this is all for now.
I will try to blog more in the future, even if I'm not sure if there are still people
following this blog πŸ˜…
Take care and have a wonderful day!

The Fairest of Them All

Miss Philippines is Miss Universe 2018.
Fortunately this time around, there weren't any mistakes in the announcement
of the winner unlike in 2015.
She was my bet to win Ms. Philippines, now she's a Ms. Universe.
Congratulations Philippines!
Happy New Year! 😊

The 70s

Another reupload.
The original video I uploaded many years ago cannot be viewed in my own country anymore so I had to re-edit the video and upload it again.
Have a wonderful time listening to some of my favorite ballads from the 70s.



It's been a while since I've posted anything in my blog.
A lot has happened during my absence.
People passing away.
Ups and downs. Can't help but feel melancholy thinking about them.
My house had major plumbing repairs, which was stressful. The old plumbing in my home's ground floor all had to be replaced. Decided to cut the old plumbing from the main tank, and installed external plumbing instead because I didn't want to break the walls of my house. Houses (walls) are made of concrete here in the Philippines. It'll be too much work, stressful and expensive to break the walls just to replace the plumbing inside.
 Labor and cost of materials accelerated the graying of my hair 😨 
Preoccupied with the family biz as well.
Had to update and tune our machines so they'll function smoothly and productivity will become higher.
 I wish I win the lotto, so I can kick away all the anxiety and just relax....with hot men. Hahaha! πŸ˜†



Recently had my hair shaven. It's growing back now.
There were zits on my scalp, especially on the back of my head.
It's easier to apply zit cream with shorter hair or no hair at all.
The zits are starting to go away. Thank goodness! I hate zits 😑
I'm too old to have zits. I'm already ummm....30. LOL!
Fine! I'm 43! But don't tell anyoneπŸ˜…
It was probably the shampoo I was using which caused the breakouts.
That's all for now, and if anyone is still visiting my blog (which I doubt), I wish you
a wonderful day/evening. Mwah!😘

Love Songs 2000-2010

Uploaded a new music video countdown because
the video with the same theme (love songs and ballads from the early 2000s) which I uploaded many years ago won't play in my own country anymore πŸ˜“
That old video had more than 600k views. Oh well...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new medley of 25 love songs and ballads from
the very 1st decade of the 21st century.
I know I have said this numerous times in my previous blogs, and I will say it agan,
time really does fly by so fast.
Have fun watching, listening and reminiscing 😊

Nightly Routine

This is how dusty the area I live in has become. 


In the last 3 years, a lot of new rice mill businesses (aside from the old ones) have started operating in my town, which meant dust, dust and more dust! 😨


Anyway, nothing a little dusting off and some wiping action can't fix.
It's good exercise by the way πŸ’ͺ


Shiny and clean again πŸ˜‰


Now it's time for your blogger to rest.
Take a shower too.
Wanna join? LOL!
I think I'm too old to be cracking such jokes πŸ˜†


Have a wonderful day/evening πŸ˜Š

Flashback

Haven't done one of these in ages.
The last countdown I made was way back in 2013 
featuring movie theme songs from the 80s.
This time around we are visiting the 90s.
Not really my favorite decade, but at least it had some great movies and songs.


The video features a medley of 25 movie theme songs
starting with the upbeat and then transitioning to ballads & love songs.
Do you agree with my top 10?
Have a wonderful time listening & reminiscing πŸ˜Š

Howdy!

Just wanted to say "Hello!" 
I was supposed to publish this last month, but I forgot to do so.
Your blogger is getting old ya know?! πŸ˜…


I had my driver's license renewed first week of October.
The total amount I paid was 727.26 pesos ($14) which included a late penalty fee of 75 pesos.
My license expired last week of September πŸ˜›
As I had expected, i.d. cards weren't available.
The receipt will serve as my license for the time being.
This problem (shortage of driver's license i.d. cards) has been going on for almost 2 years if I'm not mistaken.
One of the employees at the LTO (Land Transportation Office) told me to return on the 24th of November to follow up on my license.
Crossing my fingers that my i.d. will be available by that time.  


This also happened to me last month.
Yup! It looks disgusting. It was painful as well.
I had a zit on my scalp. I popped it. It got bigger the day after which as I was brushing my hair, accidentally hit with my brush. Ouch!
I had just finished cleaning it with an antiseptic solution when the photo was
taken, hence the brown color on my scalp πŸ˜–


It took a week for the wound to close and heal.
Darn zit! 
I think it's time for me change my shampoo πŸ˜„
Have a wonderful day.
