Beautiful Morning Moon

Was opening the windows when I saw the moon in the very early morning sky. It was big and round and my photo doesn't do it justice....it's only a humble compact camera.

Another Intruder!

If Wawa had not alerted me I could have been stung. If it didn't kill me it would've caused me a lot of suffering! If it had stung my dogs (err, animal companions, I mean)..... :(

Please Rain!

The weather has been unbearably hot. Insects abound, especially mosquitoes. I was told that heartworm is spread by them. Poor Lele must've been bitten by one. He has a huge bump near his right eye........ :(

Safe For Now

Thank God nothing happened after all the tsunami threats. The waves are still lapping gently like old times. My heart goes out to all who are suffering in Japan. Just moving 2 dogs to another home is trouble enough. All the familiar gadgets that made life easier are missing and then you realise just how much harder it is to clean up the mess. I had to get my car vacuumed twice at the car wash centre and there is still dog hair sticking to the seats. So, can you imagine what people in Japan are going through? Wawa gave me so much trouble that I swore I would leave him behind if my apartment is going to get swamped by the sea. Then I think of his woeful expression and the way he howled and scratched the door when I carried Coco to the car without him and my heart melted. He is a big baby - totally lost without his beloved Coco and Mummy..........

Tsunami?

Just as I was ready to go home after a long day at work, my colleague received a text message about the massive earthquake in Japan. Sabah was one of the countries warned and I stay very, very near the sea! Do I leave without my dogs or don't? I went back for the dogs and the sight of leash had them super excited and Wawa was panting and drooling even before I could leash him up. That dog is so excitable. We're in our town home - a dull shop house in the middle of cars and noise and the dogs are not happy. Wawa has been pacing restlessly almost the whole night and he refused to relieve himself without his cage. I know he is suffering. Coco is whining for her toys but there aren't any here. My hamsters have been left behind and they must've been looking for their wheels all night. In darkness too. I managed to warn one neighbor but everyone was still walking about innocently and as I was driving to town I saw people bathing in the sea (!) and sitting along the beach taking shots of the beautiful sunset.

Sight For Sore Eyes

As soon as I get home from work I will be busy picking up after the dogs, cleaning the house and getting their food ready. Yesterday when I lifted my head from my chores the sun had set and left behind beautiful colors in the sky. Quite rare nowadays because it rains all the time.


I get up between 5 to 5.30am each morning and then I work non-stop until 7.30 when I have to get to work. This morning we were greeted by the rain. Not that I mind because living in the hot tropics, rain = cool = happy. I was about to mop my room when the sky suddenly cleared and everything was bathed in gold. A perfect rainbow appeared in the sky. I ran for my camera but the photo doesn't do it justice. It was very, very beautiful but unfortunately lasted only about 5-10 minutes.
