Just ended
my midterms, what’s done is done. No more worries time to relax. Summer is a
breeze or lack thereof. The weather had been scorching hot and that’s all I can
complain about, all has been fine and dandy with summer school and my college
schedule has been cooperating with me.I have plenty enough time to hit the snooze
button.
Puppy Updates:
The puppies are now a
month old. They are as cute as a button but sometimes they can be quite annoying
because of the minor squeaks and cries that they produce which caused me numerous time to wake up from my deep sweet slumber. I have decided to keep
one of Amber’s litter, a female whom thy name shall be “April”. I have been
trying to feed and introduce the puppies to puppy food, but so far I find it to
be quite hard and troublesome since they are still latched to their momma Amber’s
milk. So far there are improvements but progress is slow. My original plan was
to release the puppies when they are about 6 weeks old, but right now that plan
seems to be a long-shot, you see, I can’t release the puppies until they are
able to gobble up the puppy food with no problem, I guess it’s just a matter of
time now, till then I just have to wait and tough it out. Amber is obviously
still breastfeeding so I still can’t take her out for long walks. Amber has
been an angel though and for a new mom, she’s doing an excellent job in taking
care of her pups.
Braces:
I have been thinking/contemplating
really hard about getting braces because gasp…. My worst fear or phobia is
actually going to the dentist. I was traumatized when I was a kid, felt like I
was strapped on an electric or execution chair and don’t get me started on the
needles. I guess I can say that my teeth is okay, and I have a fang tooth which
I consider as a lucky charm but
nonetheless despite the horror and the pain I have decided to do it and face my
fears. Sunday, I’ll have my x-rays taken and then comes the train tracks.
Concerts:
I popped the cherry and
finally experienced a concert here in the Philippines. I was supposed to watch
Incubus I think mid October or November but they ran out of tickets in no time.
I was running low on cash, so instead of getting a good seat and watch the
concert alone I decided to split my moola and watch it with two of my closest
friends in the upperbox section or in other words termed as the "nosebleed seats".
Overall the view from the nosebleeds was not that bad and I was pleased that a
lot of people were in that section with us just for the simple reason that they
love the music. Vertical Horizon and Ed Kowalcyk of Live were the bands that
were playing, and thus the two bands did not disappoint. I grew up in the 90’s
so alternative rock is my genre of choice. The first songs that I learned when
I decided to pick up and play the guitar was “Selling the Drama” by Live and “Best
I Ever Had” by Vertical Horizon, so to see this guys live really revived my
soul about the good old days when music had meaning, soul, substance and the power
to connect people.
Magic the Gathering:
If you hadn’t known already,
I’m a self confessed nerd. So to nerd based items I shall stick. Like mentioned
above I have a bunch of spare time in the pm hours, but since it’s summer and
the temperature outside can literally cook and egg, me and my friends turned
nocturnal meaning we only go out late at night when the sun refuses to shine.
So when I got bored I decided to pull out my old Magic Deck and gave it a whirl
(my friends have a bunch of old decks too). To my surprise from what I remembered,
it was still oh so awesome and entertaining since I started collecting and
playing during the 5th grade which was, believe me ages ago. So far everything is good, my circle of
friends have been learning and playing the game quite well and now I hear nerd
lingo here and there which is definitely music to my ears. Right now I am so
hooked and hopefully my fellow nerds feel the same way, for the reason that
these cards can make those epic fun nights nerdier and longer and these cards have the ability to halt this summer boredom.
On a sidenote:
As I awoke from my
afternoon nap yesterday, I came across a very surreal sight. Most would say
that the sky was bleeding. Apocalypse/Armageddon type of stuff. I was weirded
out at first but I kinda liked it. To the peeps who panicked; turns out it was
just too much dust-pollution particles around the city which tends to attract and trap yellow
and red colorations. Well well, it’s just a sign to clean up our act in the
city and do more things to lessen pollution.
Thoughts are now dwindling….
in 3…2..1. Dissapearing.Empty. Goodnight.
