Good'ol Harry


This is Harry, he's my cousin's dog. He used to be a fur less stray dog wandering around the streets of Talamban, and at some point my cousin saw him outside his old apartment. Harry immediately wagged his tail as if to say, will you adopt me? So my cousin just started feeding him with extra scraps of table food that it made Harry hang around more often at his place. Months past and my cousin had to go back to Canada and decided to let good fate take care of this poor dog. A year and a half later, when my cousin came back to the Philippines, he had absolutely no idea what happened to Harry. Until one day when my cousin was buying DVDs at a local shop near Talamban, a familiar soft wag of a dogs tail hit his leg, much to his surprise it was Harry. my cousin called this poor dog to get inside his car so he could take him home, but harry was too scared to do so. After a good attempt to convince Harry, my cousin gave up and decided to drive home without him. . .When my cousin looked at his rear view mirror he saw Harry running after the car. So he drove slowly, about 5km per hour until he finally arrived at his new place. And so that's how Harry found a home. Pretty interesting story this dog has.

Fix You by Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Music therapy :) songs like this make the world a better
place. Definitely one of my favorites. It hits you like
rain after a very long drought. Makes you smile at the
past and say I'm ready to be happy again.

Hey Soul Sister by Train

Heeey heeeey heeeeey

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Is one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mister Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair ya know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
Our game show "Love Connection," we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mister Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair ya know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mister Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair ya know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)

Get together tonight by Adam Kling

Give me a reason if you got one reason
said there ain't no reason that we shouldn't
get together tonight

Give me a reason if you got one reason
said there ain't no reason that we shouldn't
get together tonight

Well I can see you had a rough day baby well
maybe I can losen you up,
and I can see that you need a refill baby,
well maybe I can fill your cup

And if we hear s slow song maybe we can hold
hands, dancing to the song and stand we'll look up
and if our eyes meet, crackin, arms don't fall,
then we'll both know that we're gonna hook up

Give me a reason if you got one reason
said there ain't no reason that we shouldn't
get together tonight

Give me a reason if you got one reason
said there ain't no reason that we shouldn't
get together tonight

I'm sending you an invitation,
respondez-vous
s'il vous plait

I let you pick the time, day or night,
there is no reason to stay home tonight
I know that you're not preoccupied
that you are bored but you are not tired

Just think that you can be here in a weeks time
there is no reason to stay home tonight
come on by anytime to say hi,
night or day, day or night

I'm always open for you,
I'm hoping that you will show


Give me a reason if you got one reason
said there ain't no reason that we shouldn't
get together tonight2x

Well I can feel that there's a new day coming,
something telling me from deep down inside
I think it's time I stop the all day yawning
somethings waking up with much better sigh

And all the while it was you, it was you and
your smile , that carry me from day to day,
and I have to say that we are face to face,
there ain't no place to run away

Give me a reason if you got one reason
said there ain't no reason that we shouldn't
get together tonight3x


HAHA. . aguuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyy. . .
LISTEN TO THIS SONG BAI. .

Kuris Kuris "Jacob's Dream" by: Gil Maningo

Spent the new year talking to one of Cebu's elite artists, not to mention one of the best, Mr. Gil Maningo. He happens to be my friends dad, he definitely has one of the most colorful characters I've met. I saw his works and its a beacon of inspiration. I learned a lot from him, gave me a lot of tips on life's most essential lessons. After a few glasses of red wine and a profoundly significant conversation, he made me a painting of my future rest house. What struck me most is when he told me that he bases his works on how he sees a persons character, and this came out. It was perfect! Someday when I realize this dream, I'll proudly hang this on the wall of my dream rest house. . My very own painting from the master. Amazing!

Art luck

We are avid followers of this site www.artsignsinteriors.com, though a bit too contemporary for me they have a lot of fresh and interesting ideas. They happened to put up a Jagger tiger claw contest, it's a special type of art that looks like a tiger claw, here's a photo of it.
pretty cool ei? Anyway to make the long story short, you basically get a chance to win this type of art, all you have to do is fill up a form on their site and you are automatically in the game. My lucky ass cuz'n happened to fill it up, just out of spite, results came in and then this http://www.artsignsinteriors.com/contest.php#main_body believe it or not as quoted " OUT OF THE 675 PEOPLE THAT VISITED OUR JAGGER CLAW CONTEST PAGE 10 FILLED OUT THE FORM AND ENTERED TO WIN, WE'VE DECIDED TO ANNOUNCE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . THAT ALL 10 ENTRIES WIN, WINNING SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED FROM SOUTH AFRICA, PHILIPPINES, USA, CANADA." Say what again? Philippines? hahaha We never believed it until he got an email from the site to confirm his address, they asked for one condition and that's to submit a photo of the art piece displayed with the winner in the photo. Unfortunately he has to leave for Canada so that leaves me as the soul recipient, wow! I get to have a photo in their site. Something very inetersting indeed.

Cross section


This was designed by Justin Sagolili, who happens to be my cousin. He made this out of guava tree branches cut cross sectionally and glued it on a wooden frame. He hanged it inside the wash room and the other one above the sink. It looks awesome! I took these photos in his house. We are trying to come up with some designs and hope someday, sell our ideas.

troodie

This is our dog named troodie, a crossbreed between a dalmatian and a Labrador retriever. She's a survivor of a parvovirus, a kind of viral illness which predominantly affects young puppies between 6 weeks and 6 months of age. Without treatment approximately 80% of affected puppies will die. Otherwise, with appropriate remedy approximately 85% of affected puppies will survive. The virus may persist in the environment for up to 5 months. Infection generally follows exposure to infected feces. The major clinical signs are vomiting and diarrhea. The diarrhea is usually yellow to yellow gray at first but quickly becomes blood tinged or dark red in most cases. So if you're planning to get a puppy, better give him parvo shots. They cost about 800 pesos each. She actually had a sibling named bam2x, unfortunately we were not able to save him from this disease.
Luckily after a shot of the parvo vaccine and 5 litters of normal saline solution she was able to recover. Now shes able to do a few tricks. Me and my brother helped train her. Check her out!
