Adopted Dog

Guest post from: Kent Lara

I just adopted a dog from the humane society, and I am worried that I am never going to be able to leave the house again. The dog seemed so relaxed when we met him at the humane society. He was friendly and seemed to like us, so we decided to take him home. He is a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix, so we knew he would be smart and have a good temperament. Once we got him home, the drama started. He is totally fine when my husband and I are home. He is calm and friendly to whoever comes over. The problem is that he has severe separations anxiety. He freaks out when we leave. He’s broken down every barrier we put up and also broke out of a crate when we tried to crate train him. I don’t want our neighbors to hate me so now I’ve just started staying home and watching direct tv. I hope that we can find a way to train him so that he doesn’t destroy the house. I love him, but I am not willing to sacrifice my whole social life to have a dog.

Quotes time!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Madel) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:43:00 +0000

I love this quote and post this at facebook and got 21 likes LOL..

"Stick together with the people you know you can trust. There may not be many, but they are all you need" ;-)

I have so many friends here and there and some of my friends are plastic. They aren't real friends. I only have few ones that I can trust so this year I ain't attending parties anymore I will just stick to my family and maybe see my true friends once in a while.. It's hard if you join to those people that aren't true to you.. So I let them go!

Balut!!

noreply@blogger.com (Madel) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:39:00 +0000

Okay guys, that picture above is what you call balut. Filipino people loves to eat balut but there are few ones don't like them. I love it eating balut of course! One day, my friend Andy post a picture of balut on his facebook and I asked him if he could give me one so 3 days later he did hehehe. He is such a nice person anyway, when I boiled it and was gonna eat it my kids and my husband was there with me looking at me trying to open the balut and when I opened it my kids are covering their nose haha, my husband don't like the smells of it too and by just looking at them they make me lose my appetite and guess what? I didn't eat it LOL.. I don't know it has been a long time since I last eat balut I think when I was still in the Philippines. I can eat balut but not this kind I think that balut is too old I mean the chick. So I threw them all away.. I couldn't eat it at all..

Making a tame vampire costume for my little girl

noreply@blogger.com (Madel) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:56:00 +0000

Guest post written by Ashleigh Foster

It seems like there are so many wild and crazy vampires on TVs nowadays. I actually enjoy watching some of those vampire shows, but I like to also make sure that my kids don't see any of them. They're just too mature for them. So when my daughter told me that she wanted to be a vampire for Halloween, I was thinking about a classic, tame vampire. It ends up that's more of what she was thinking about anyway, so that was good.

I told her that I would whip up a costume for her to wear that was cooler than any of the ones out in stores. I looked online with our wireless internet San Francisco for some ideas about how I could make her a costume.

I found a pretty easy pattern for this Victorian looking dress and cape. So I'm working on sewing those together for her. She said that the dress looked pretty in the picture and it might even double for a good play dress up outfit for her. She has a box full of clothes like that and she's always trying to find another piece for it.

Happy New Year

We are looking forward to the continuous grace, peace, happiness and prosperous year in your presence in 2012 through Jesus name...Amen.

Lots of party going on during Holidays. Lots of my friends inviting me for their party party but I declined. My new years resolution is to spend more time with my family and not to go with party all the time.. So, on 2012 you can't see me much attending party. I am going to party at home with my husband and kids and hang out with them LOL.. Yes I am serious ;-))

Crime Shows

noreply@blogger.com (Madel) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:29:00 +0000

Guest post written by my buddy Keith Kramer

I have a love affair with any kind of crime show. I will watch any and all of them. Any of the Law and Order shows are a must. CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS. I love them all. I love CSI: Miami but seriously. Sometimes it is just a little bit over the top. David Caruso needs to tone it down just a little bit, I think. While I understand that his character is supposed to be a little quirky, I want to actually punch him in the face a little bit. He is just so dramatic absolutely everything. I can’t handle it. I like everything else about the show. All of the other characters are great, which is why I don’t really understand why David Caruso’s character is supposed to be the main character? Throw Emily Proctor into the lead role. She’s awesome. Or Adam Rodriguez. He is quite an attractive man, yes? Make him the lead character. Listen, check out CSI: Miami on http://www.tvbydirect.com/ and let me know if you agree with me. I’m pretty sure you will.

Christmas tree

noreply@blogger.com (Madel) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:24:00 +0000

Our Christmas Tree is up! Jodel and Joey are not home so I decided to decorate the Christmas Tree to surprise them. Joey got surprise but Jodel was mad because she says she wanted to help me decorate the Tree. Really she was mad and cried. Hmmm well, I think I made a mistake LOL...I just use the same decorations from last year....
