Dog Dilemma

I know I have asthma and it has been a big issue at home because there are a lot of things that trigger my allergies. I did not want this to be a hindrance to my family life but I think it just did. I am allergic to seafood, but one more thing that triggers it is fur. Not those fancy things people wear but it is those which animals have. You probably think that hairball you often see when sweeping floors is harmless. Imagine; I almost got hospitalized because of that. My Mom wanted to get a toy dog so she could entertain herself every once in a while. She treats it like family and since I would not be able to bear the hardships of getting one I think little dog boarding would help me a lot.

Yes I do miss them a lot!

I on the other hand wanted not just a toy dog but a huge Siberian husky and even went the extra mile to build an air conditioned room since we live in a tropical climate. I read books, got veterinarians and aficionados of the breed to help me out in the beginning and got one last August. I had instantaneously got symptoms and brushed it off a month after it was here. When my doctors found out, they immediately asked me to do the worst next thing. I had to give him up and let my cousins adopt it. I literally had no choice. If only I had somewhere to put them and get some help then it would have made me get doses of antihistamines for the asthma. This was a full time job though since they needed special care in our side of the world. Oh man I miss them a lot! Now how am I going to please my Mom and not get attacks again? Let me know what you guys think!

TGIF!

Last night was a blast! I went out with friends from an online community I frequent in and we had some guests who were doctors from a province down south so it was a little arduous to have me introduce them to ladies that night. I felt that since this was my territory I should let them at least have fun right? But then again I didn't have time to work on meeting some my self... anyway I still had fun with friends and a couple of strangers LOL... but that was just the start of the evening.

I had a few drinks again. Somehow I really needed it to relax a bit, I was a bit tensioned but sure enough after a few bottles I got a little smooth talking to them and yes I did get tipsy too. It was a little dose more than what I used to drink and I was not feeling sorry going back to drinking a lot again. I did not have a hangover which I really despise when I do this deed. Anyway I will be still limiting things, its just that I probably screwed up and did this out of necessity last night. I mean I did have fun, imagine I was making out with a girl at around 7AM LOL and got her number too so I would probably have fun this week.

Thank God it's Friday!

Dreaming Big!

The business minded me started an itch again and this time it is now in a direct collision course with my financial decisions. I have not thought about other businesses to do because I am quite busy at work. The economy has not been strong in the past year and finding the ways to earn extra income is inevitable. I need to make an effort to practice saving and use my resources smart before I turn around to find out that I barely have funds in the bank. That would be a catastrophe waiting to happen and my family could be at risk.

It makes me want to sleep early but I do see the need to get investment a try. I have to guarantee that I would not compromise what I have. The last thing that I would want is to run out of funds while the economic crisis is flourishing. That would be a nightmare. There might be some blue chip stocks, options that I should take a look at and InvestmentForge plans as well. I will make this work and there would not be a better time to impress people with financial decisions to get my life straightened out. Wish me luck because I desperately need it now!

There Still Are Heroes Among Us

I am really happy today. Why you ask?!

I'll tell you a story...

My brother went back to Ireland yesterday because his vacation was already up! As much as we wanted him to stay longer I think there are some things he still had to fix in Ireland so he went ahead and got his bags packed and set on the 20th. When I went back home they were still there arguing about what to include in the luggage and there were a couple of things he tried to bring for people in Eire for "pasalubong" purposes. He filled up this huge duffel bag that could even fit me inside it. So its a mixture of clothes, shoes, stuff from Bohol and a couple of goodies from the local grocer. He carries this in and out of the country and it is quite convenient since you can push it around as it has small sturdy wheels on it too. When we said our goodbyes I never got to accompany him to the airport anymore since the seats were full and Mum and Dad would probably be the best to go with him that time. They got on around 10:30 I think and used this pickup truck my Uncle lent them since our van was barred from traveling in a number coding scheme implemented by the government. About 30 or 40 minutes passed, I received a call from my Mom (and this was where I felt something was definitely wrong) she said my brother's bag is missing. It fell off somewhere in EDSA (but it could be anywhere from our house to Ortigas!) and they tried going around circles but could not find the bag anymore. They knew someone probably picked it up and we were frantic trying to at least find it but my brother's flight was already coming. It was noon when they decided to just leave it and go back to the airport. I was really worried because now, he did not have any clothes to wear once he goes back to Ireland. Just the few old clothes he left there and the one on his back. Good thing he had his papers on another bag or else his ticket and trip would be compromised. But just the same we were all very depressed that day because of the incident and we were still hoping to have that bag recovered. He left a sad boy, and so were we.

I tweeted, posted on facebook, told DZMM, DZBB, Love Radio 90.7 and everyone that could help even the police where they even said that we should not be hopeful it would still be returned anymore. I know how it is in the Philippines and probably anyone can attest to this; that sometimes Filipinos tend to not return things like that because of poverty and all the things unrighteous to men.

Today, I was listening to DZMM teleradyo (Radio and Cable TV broadcast) but turned off the TV because I was trying not to be depressed by it and get some sleep. Then just a few minutes after, my Dad suddenly came upstairs (since we live in a 2 story house) and told me that the bag was found. People from DZMM got the bag from a guy who lived in a Barangay close to us. I was ecstatic!

Imagine after all that drama, a good samaritan gave it to DZMM, then they announced it. Mom and Dad claimed it this afternoon. I guess there are still some good people in the Philippines. It is something to be optimistic about us PINOYS and our good heart! At least there are some who still choose to be good at this day and age. I will let you know about this guy tomorrow and I will post his pictures in this article so I could at least let you guys know who this hero is. Thank you! Thank you! We can't thank you enough kind sir!
