i think one of my dogs is sick Y_Y. it’s been acting really weird for a week already; it lost its appetite, hides in almost inaccesible nooks and crannies, howls a lot. i’ve been spoiling my dog for a couple of days already, giving it extra dozes of canned dog food, more pats and rubs, and even bought it an edible chewy bone.

i surfed the net for other possible reasons why it’s been behaving like this, but i guess i have to call in the vet tomorrow. it could just be jealous, wanting more attention, or really sick.. i hope it’s not the latter. :(

years ago, before i had my first dog, we used to take care of cats who wandered into our home. we named them grandma prunes, rotten, nutsie, jacket, rikitikitabby and ming ming. after seeing this adoption site, i’m starting to miss having kitties at home, even tempted to adopt some.

unfortunately, my dogs are rather hostile towards any small moving animals. last week, a rooster got into the compound while i was opening the garage for the car. i never really saw if it went out after the gate closed. the following morning, i saw ruffled feathers scattered near the gate and the maid told me that the dogs ganged up on a rooster. it was attempting to fly over the gate, but it couldn’t get high enough because its wings were modified for cockfights.

the rooster was barely alive, breathing heavily and very wet with dog drool when the owner claimed it. it wasn’t our fault our dogs attacked their poor rooster, he should’ve tied it to the tree. days later, i learned that they cooked it for tinola since it can’t fight anymore.

poor chicken.

i find it sickening when a foreigner uses the word “filipina”. to me, it doesn’t sound like it’s refering to a female from the philippines; instead, words like japayuki, mail-order brides, and domestic helper came swarming in my mean little head. i don’t know, but i can’t seem to feel proud or at least appreciate the word.

it irritates me that there are pinays who resort to looking for foreign boyfriends/husbands because she sees him as a walking pile of green dollar bills. dyan kayo magaling, utang o limos.

it irritates me again to see websites with photos of pinays advertising themselves as mail-order brides. it’s like, “order a filipina now and you get to have an exotic fuck buddy, a maid and care-giver all in one.” i wouldn’t be surprised if i see a “filipina” for auction on ebay. PULEEEZ—just how low can you go???

years ago when i was in japan as an exchange student, there was a get-to-know activity so we could introduce ourselves randomly. an indonesian asked me where i came from, i replied, “philippines.” then he goes, “that’s cool! where’s that?”

it’s either he’s totally dumb-flunked geography (and global awareness), or the philippines hasn’t made that much impact in the international arena.

the news a while ago was about president arroyo and the members of the opposition sitting together to discuss and make some more “bribable” laws. yes, note my sarcasm.

these idiots make more laws when:
1) we can’t even follow the ten commandments. (i bet you still find ten too much.)
2) you can still bribe your way out because the government is enjoying the extra income. (i pity those who bribe. how can you stoop so low?)
3) they don’t really know what goes on outside their elegant houses and cushy luxury cars. (aside from the fact that they’re busy computing how much they can get away with)

chokey, my perverted little fagdog, sat at my feet, oggling at me with those big brown whimpy eyes while i was having lunch.

ME: you want some of these? (shows him the macaroni and wiggles it)

FAGDOG: *WOOF!* (stands up and wags his tail)

ME: (eats the macaroni bit) you’ve been a very bad dog, barking at me everytime i get home. is that how you greet your master?

FAGDOG: (whimpers and grunts a little, then put his paws on my leg, as if begging me to forgive him. again, pleading with those whimpy eyes)

ME: NO. (snubs)

FAGDOG: (whimpers loudly. walks away slowly. paused. looks back for a second chance.)

nope. he ain’t getting any.

PRIMPING PRETTY

it’s weird that i don’t feel insecure around pretty women (the ones who spends more time shopping, growing their hair long, grooming and blabbering), but felt greatly insecure over street-smart women who can do kickass multimedia. i think i’m turning into a feminist geek. *shudder*

THE PINAY STEREOTYPE

i saw an ad congress advertisement on tv the other night. there’s this girl frolicking inside a mall, making men swoon at the sight of her dark long tresses. suddenly she was screaming her head off while something pulled her by the hair, everybody was baffled and too stunned to react. at the end of the commercial, you can see the girl saying her last prayers infront of a priest before her long shiny hair will be cut. *heh*

what is it with long black hair? heck, there’s even shampoo available in the market that can enhance hair growth! i mean, wouldn’t it be a boring society if most of the women wear their hair long and straight? whatever happened to variety and artistic individuality?

do most men love feasting their eyes on long haired women? if so, do women grow their hair long and straight so they could please or entice the male specie? my goodness, if the hypothesis is true..

i strongly believe that pinays are exotically pretty in their own way, that there’s no need to conform to the stereotypes of this society. but then again, maybe it’s the dark long tresses that makes a pinay exotic??
