Things that occupy my mind lately
A lot of things have been occupying my mind lately, which left me feeling exhausted these past few days (hence the absence of blog updates). First, there's this wonderful proposal to partner up in a business that I am very much interested in - jewelry. In fact, I already have a business plan for it, ready to be discussed with my interested partner. It will be an online ... READ MORE
Green Windows Dormitel
I almost forgot to tell you about this amazing dormitel that we stayed in Davao last month. I was there with my boss to attend a conference, and the organization which invited us sponsored our accommodation too. It's called a dormitel because it's a hotel-type dormitory and therefore way cheaper than hotel rates. Our place is called the Green Windows Dormitel and is ... READ MORE
Durian Pie
I don't eat durian mainly because of its strong and penetrating odour, but when I tried a Durian Pie during a work trip in Davao City 3 weeks ago, I just couldn't believe it has durian in it. And how could I? It doesn't smell funny and it looks so heavenly: The taste simply blew me away! It tastes like a custard pie but distinctly original because of the ... READ MORE
Waling Waling Flowers from Davao

Vanda Sanderiana - the scientific name for Waling Waling. Waling-waling, an orchid endemic to the Philippines and only found originally in Davao-Cotabato, foothills of Mt. ... READ MORE
Happy Halloween!
Because today's Halloween, I would like to share with you these really big pumpkins I saw in Davao City last week: If only the pumpkins weren't 15kg heavy I would have taken one home to Manila. Tomorrow I'll tell you more about this place in Davao where I found the big pumpkins. It was teeming with orchid blooms of various colors and sizes. It's like finding a ... READ MORE
![[ Long story ahead] 👉 Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na 😬 We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well 😂
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin 😜 Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya 😂.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining 😜
