Doggie Angels' Shit

My new year week isn't quite the ideal one. I spent the last three days bumming around at home reading books, watching tv and playing with the puppies.

These puppies. They're like little angels crawling and crying all the time. You bet nobody knows how these angels are making my life difficult. Everywhere I go, there is dog shit around. Imagine? Seven puppies roaming around the house leaving their shit anywhere anytime. There's nothing I could do but watch them poop it out and clean it.

All the while, I thought I could have a relaxing week at home resting and just doing nothing. It turns out that catching up with these doggies wiping their dirts off is even more difficult than the usual stuff I do at the office.

Happy New Year to All. Happy Dog Shit New Year To me.

An unexpected Gift

I can't believe it. One of my friends from uptown delivered his Christmas present to me the other day and I wasn't expecting of anything special and you know when you aren't expecting anything extravagant, you always end up getting one.

It's not that it's really something very expensive but for me and for the level of friendship that we have, I never expected a bottle of Tommy Hilfiger perfume. That's relatively expensive already at least in my book. I mean you usually give your good friends some books or CD or some christmas goodies or a pillow or a bag or just about anything friendly-ish but a bottle of perfume? I feel special. I remember when I opened the package, I flashed the biggest smile ever and I almost texted him 'I Love You' for his gift.

Really, it's not about how expensive the gift is. But let's face it, it takes something special for one to give you such an expensive gift. As much as I don't want to associate the worth of a gift by its tag price, it's a de facto don't you think? I myself am willing to spend much more for the people who are special to me than the not so special ones.

I am not the only girl he gave this gift to. The truth is I am not really special as I was rejoicingly claiming. He's just plain wealthy and generous. He gave our 5 other girl friends each one too. we, six girls, and him used to hang out together. That's how sweet he is to us. He treats all six of us equally. I love this guy. He's ultra nice and sweet and he's every girl's dream. Very hardworking and humble. However, my love for this guy is not the romantic type of love. I have to admit it's just the sisterly love. Still, I'm not going to deny I love this man whatever type of love that is.

Chewy Dear

I once read from an article that finding the right doggie for one entails serious studying. Certain breeds of dog suit certain lifestyles of people. I think that holds true in most cases.

We have 3 doggies namely chewy, dobie and gollum at home and chewy is my favorite. I think my liking for chewy darling has a lot to do with our similarities in terms of personality and appearance.

I love chewy because for one she has small eyes like me. We're both chinese looking. haha.

Second, she's stocky and fat like me. I don't mind if we're both fat coz' I find her 'FATNESS' cute. I'd like to think that other people would consider my 'FATNESS' cute too. hehehe.

Third, she's a loner like me and that's what I like best about her. I like it when she snobs me. She's very different from the other doggies I know (as if I'm talking about a person) and she never overdoes anything just to try to catch her owner's attention. She's just as always quietly sittin' at one corner wagging her tail to welcome us. Independent doggie she is.

Fourth, she's one bad-tempered doggie just exactly like me. She hates it when someone tries to control her or mock her. There are a lot of dog breeds who enjoy being played around with but no, not chewy.

I could go on and on with the qualities I like in chewy and the qualities I don't like with the other dogs but then that isn't just that important anymore. I just want to put on record that I agree with what the article has to say about finding the right dogs. Compatibility really is important even with doggies. Find a doggie that has a similar personality as yours and you'll understand her better.

Happy Superficial Me

God knows I'm one of those desperate people who needs some reassurance  of myself that's why he created this day for me. It's not like today is the biggest event of my life but it surely is one memorable day and an ego-boosting night.

Our team at work had a dinner tonight and one of our activities was to describe each of our team mate in one word. Everyone was entitled a sheet of paper where we could pass it around the table for the others to leave comment on it until it finally returns to you.

I was kind of expecting people to leave sarcastic remarks on me coz' they've been mocking me about my small eyes and my being chinese forever so getting compliments was out of the question. But it turned out that they weren't as bad as I thought. In fact, my description page were full of compliments. I never knew people viewed me as a nice, friendly, sweet, pretty and cute girl. Sounds very general but I want to think that those comments are written from the heart and are not anything fake.

Getting compliments like that isn' exactly a big thing I know but for a VERY insecure girl, it is. For someone who thinks of herself as fat and ugly and worthless, being given a sheet of paper filled with compliments opposite what she thinks of herself truly means a lot and I thank God or whoever made this possible from the bottom of my heart. I may be superficial but I have to admit it is something I desperately need. I think I'm the kind of girl who have long been abandoned by the world with not much anything worth inside but I'm glad that tonight, I'm reminded that I still have that beauty one person could have in the eyes of the others.
