my soooo called life

Four seasons

I cant really say that I hated winter except that it's my first winter so it was a bit of an adjustment.The news said that the past winter broke a lot of weather records.I have to always put on heavy clothing even in bed. Some people may find me annoying but even if the heater is on Im still always cold and go on and on whining about it.But the fashion is fun...you get to wear boots,heavy jackets,muffler etc.My friends went crazy buying cable sweaters from Express Store.(sale kasi)

Spring?I love it!Its my second spring so knew it will still get little bit chilly and you still have to be ready for warmer clothes.I made a tradition of planting spring plants and rush with other people to Lowe's to get my favorite plants.Petunia's,marigolds,impatience,roses etc.Also in different colors red,yellow,white,purple,pink.Never forget some vegetable,this year I got pepper and okra.Unfortunately for the okra the snail ate it before I was able to transfer it to a bigger pot.

Summer is almost here.It's gonna be fun!!!it's vacation time.

Fall?Well I find it gloomy.There is one interesting thing that fascinates me during fall season.....the sun has a different tilt which makes shadows appear longer and thinner.

But no matter what the season is... California (to me)will always be one of the best places to live in the world aside from my other home(the Philippines).

Taffy

What can I say about our dog...hmmmm he is kinda old but he made my first year in the US a memorable one.First of all Taffy is a 17 year old cocker spaniel(old huh?)My husband got him 14 years ago when he was 3,they adore each other aside from both of them adoring me..hahaha!!Taffy should I say is one of the reason I like walking around Belmont Heights.He looovess to walk around just a few blocks from our house and knows when that time is....me with his leash in hand.He cant stop but be too excited about it that it takes a while before I can put his leash on his neck.Sometimes we would jog, but he is way too old for my stamina.He would be out of breath after 2 blocks so I have no choice but to just walk instead.He loves smelling the outside world..(I mean he is basically home 7 days a week,so who wouldnt love a treat)There is only one thing I dont like though when I take him to walk...that is the yucky part of it....he loves to leave his own scent along the pavement and sometimes its not just that squirt of pee but...you know what I mean,,,that yucky thing I have to pick up while its hot(duh).But now..I feel sorry for him he is not the same Taffy he used to be (according to hubby).Athletic and vibrant.He is getting too old(for a dog).He pees on the floor, starting to shed a lot of his hair and getting a lot of cyst all over him.

Also whenever my hubby would go camping he makes staying alone in our house a not so scary one.

I really hope that he will still make it a couple more year.He showed me so much love and affection even if I seldom reciprocate.I would willingly give him a bath if he gets too stinky.In my heart Taffy is a great friend and companion.

just thinkin

Cant wait to go back to the Philippines and see my family and friends again.My hands are tied with so many things to do so little time.Hopefully I'll pull it thru specially my hubby's birthday party.I wanna make it memorable for him spending it with a hundred of my relatives again.Hahaha!No kidding!I have to do this even if the temperature in Ubay scares me that my hubby would wanna go home after an hour at the beach where his bday party will be.I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it no matter how hot it will be.Well we'll see what happens then.One of my thoughts too is I wonder if I can even go dip myself in the sea,the gal who pierced my navel told me that it's a big no no no until 6 months.I may just end up goin knee deep then thats all for me.
