But Corvettes will never have a place in this country. Well… maybe in showrooms, or really mad rich filthy filthy rich car collectors. I want a corvette though. Although I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to afford one with my meager salary, but dreaming is free, right?
I’ll probably be dressing up my corvette or keep customizing it. I’ll be adding stuff like fancy stylish wheels or housing for the headlights. I’ll decorate it with stuff like wings maybe, like Ayu’s backpack… somehow.
Inside, I’ll make sure it’s got nice floormats with matching seatcovers and matching steering wheel cover and … well… and an uber cool dashboard–matching as well. I’ll probably end up having a set and I’ll go broke just prettifying my car.
To top it all that, I don’t drive at all.
I’ll have to live in the States for it to have meaning (or reality) and since http://www.corvetteguys.com ships out their parts for free this July, I’ll probably buy from that site.
Well, to sum it all up, my pet corvette will be like my baby Taba who is high maintenance because I buy all sorts of stuff for it without it giving me anything in return. Except maybe an empty pocket and a headache.
P.S. He (Taba) chewed on the other ear of my Sennheiser earphones (that he mangled a couple of days ago).
I dote on my doggie, Taba. I buy him stuff that sometimes is really a waste of money, but I just wanted to buy them for him. He has 3 collars. Or maybe 4… or 5? I can’t really remember. Of course, these are just cheap collars. He’s not a really huge dog so they’re not too expensive. Does he wear collars? No, not really. He doesn’t like it. Sometimes I make him wear them though. Right now, he has a piece of a pant-leg on his neck. … Choker?
I buy him chew-toys. Like milk bones, or that croissant chew thingie. He really loved that croissant thingie, but when it flooded here, it was one of the few things that I forgot to save coz he had it in his apartment. It’s usually just in my room but he must have ran away with it and I forgot about it. So I bought him a milk bone. Same material as the croissant thingie, but in a shape of a bone. And he hasn’t touched it at all. It’s just gathering dust. =_=
I got him milk sticks instead. Those, he kind of likes, but they get eaten up too fast. What Taba really likes are cables. And dangling stuff. And my monkey fridge magnet. And pillowcase zippers. And my shoe laces. And my pop’s shoes and slippers. And chicken bones. And pork bones. And beef bones. And the bathroom door. And his leash. And my expensive Sennheiser CX300 earphones.
I also bought him doggie treats, but he doesn’t like it. Mama says I waste too much money on Taba. I’d rather just buy him chiffon cake or sponge cake. He likes those better. Rather than expensive doggie stuff.
My brother thinks otherwise. Orc thinks I should just buy baby gifts for his baby. But the baby isn’t even here, why should I buy him gifts? And sadly, I don’t really feel any attachment for his baby, even if he is my first first-degree nephew (or is he really? XD).
I’d rather be spending and wasting my money on people and things I love (and my dog).
orz… I can’t even sit still or sleep properly if I know he’s not in my room. =_=;;
I hit Taba this morning when I woke up. I woke up to find my charger cable chewed up again! A perfectly good, original Nokia charger for my N80.
I was so annoyed that I spanked him. Now I’ll need to buy a new charger -_-; and I don’t really want to buy some cheap charger like last time. Ugghhh…. ~___~
I wonder if keeping a cat would have been better. I think cat supplies are cheaper but then I don’t really feed Taba dog food anymore coz he refuses to eat it and it’s just a waste of money so I just give him human food and milk.
Where did I go wrong? What did I miss? I walked him this morning. I even carried him even with his muddy paws because there were some stray dogs and I didn’t want him to be bitten by those stray dogs. Dogs are supposed to run if there are other dogs after them, not ask their master to carry them T_T.
And then when we got hime I fed him his favorite Adobo rice. And I even gave him some of my milk, my darned expensive milk. He chewed a roll of tissue paper and my charger cable. At least he didn’t chew the ethernet and phone and other electric cables… why the charger!!! And this is the second time he chewed a charger cable =_=
*sigh*
=======================================
[Edit]
I fixed it! >_> Because… well… I don’t really want to buy a new one. I just tried…
I cleanly cut the ends of the wires and spliced them and wrapped masking tape on them.
The past few weeks, me and my friend from work have been food tripping. We eat in some places and try out different food just for fun. It’s not much of a weight on my pocket since we only do this about once a week. My biggest problem is my weight. T_T I feel it steadily increasing. Maybe I should bring out the weighing scale again.
It’d be so nice to have home gym equipment, especially now that Iks and Eelai have moved out, there would be space for workout machines and other stuff. But I’m so broke now.
I just got my fridge. I gave mama a lot of money for being bitten by BokBok so she could get her shots, which she skipped anyway =_=, and just yesterday, I bought Taba his anti-flea spray thing because he was heavily infested by these creatures again. I almost cried while giving him a bath because the tips of his ears were already black with all the creatures clinging on him T_T. So I went and bought him the spray I bought last time which was really not cheap at all. So now, I’m broke. Good thing Mama and Papa asked me to load their phone, and they paid me, so now I still have some money again.
It was really a good idea to load P1000 to my phone. Since Mama and Papa just have their phones loaded through AutoLoad, I thought that it’s better if I did that myself. I get 250 free text to last me two months or more, and they pay me instead of some other person. since 250 free text is really enough for me. The catch is, I don’t see any place where P1000 card is being sold, so I load it through ATM or online banking. No discount, but at least I’ve got a lot of free text which is all I need anyways.
*sigh*
Nonetheless. I’m broke.
I wonder if there’s MRT again tonight T_T stupid holidays.
I found this cute case for my macbook just in case I want to take it out. It’s a Zero Halliburton Degerati 5″ and it’s $445. Way out of my range. Probably not available in the country either. Ughh…
Just going to spend that money for Mama’s medicine. Mama got bitten by BokBok last night, trying to protect my precious Taba. She got 5 bites. Backside, Stomach, Left Leg, Side, and Arm. Her arm was the worse, the flesh got almost ripped off. BokBok didn’t want to let go and he was trying to mangle mama’s arm… =/ This was because she was saving Taba. Papa said later on that mama should’ve just let BokBok mangle Taba. T___T
Mama’s hospitalization was covered by her two health insurances from my brother and father, but I’m really not sure if my health insurance card could cover hers as well. I’ll need to check with the HR of my company.
Papa said we could still buy our fridge since the rest of mama’s expensive medicine doesn’t need to be all in one go, so we’re going to get the fridge tonight so we could have it by tomorrow or Sunday. At least mama could have cold water all the time as well.
I’m feeling dehydrated as well. I’m used to having easy access to water all the time, and with the current setup I don’t have cold water in my room, I don’t bother drinking at all. And sometimes, the water in the fridge outside isn’t really cold, so I don’t bother drinking either. I like my water cold. :<
*Sigh* Tonight, we’re also going to buy a muzzle for BokBok. Right now he’s tied up. And he’s been crying the whole night. Poor dog.
I just bought Taba (my puppy) some food supplements because he’s been looking a little sickly lately, so I’m wondering if it’s about food because he hasn’t been eating well either. But I thought the one I bought was like what Eelai buys, the tablets. The one I bought was powdered and I have to mix it with his food, so I’m getting pretty lazy.
Maybe I should get him some bodybuilding supplements for dogs, if there are. He’s like a cat. He always slacks his body whenever someone carries him, and speaking of carrying, he ALWAYS wants to be carried lately, like a baby. He’d stand on his hind legs with his front legs stretched toward me, begging to be carried.
Lately, I’m teaching him to sit whenever there’s food on the table, and not to climb all over people while eating. So I ignore him when he’s begging for food and wait for him to sit down before I give him anything (Yes, I know that’s bad in itself, but heck =/).
Sooo… he does sit and wait patiently… sometimes. He doesn’t sit when you tell him to sit though.

Billy dog is gone.
It’s funny, because I was just watching Dog of Flanders last night and I cried and cried my heart out in the last 30 minutes of the animated movie.
It’s basically a boy and a dog who’s got a very good bond of friendship show
and they end up dying together
.
And Billy is dead too. Mama said that even before BokBok bit Billy’s balls off, his behind was already swollen. I told Pop to bring him to the vet but … we don’t really have the money for a vet. He would require surgery which would cost about P7000 not including additional medication.
*sigh*
Let me tell you something about Billy.
Billy is a furry dog who doesn’t look so white anymore because he’s always dirty. He’s always lying around in the dirtiest places in the backyard.
His breed? We assume he’s a Japanese Spitz, because when he first arrived he was so white and really furry. But because they eat table food (or human food), and we weren’t feeding proper doggie food, his fur kind of went down and thinned a bit.
His age? To be honest, no one knows. We got him around 1999. It was funny, because he’s not really our dog. Nanny was walking Milly, one of our dogs, one fine morning then this white dog followed them everywhere, and until Nanny and Milly got back home. Then he also went inside the house. Then Nanny said, “Haha! You’re ours now!” And from then on, he was ours. We named him Billy to match Milly’s name.
He wasn’t that young when we got him. Probably 2 or 3 years old. No one really knows, since he’s what we call, the “dognapped dog”. So that makes his age 7+x years old.
He’s got a lot of eccentricities. When he really likes the food, like soup with rice and meat, he pees on all the doggie bowls so no one will touch them. Then he’d be so full, he’d puke everything he ate. One time I was walking past him and he suddenly fell over leg up and wagged his tail, asking for a tummy scratch. He also likes sitting on the big chair in the kitchen. Pop gets mad and throws him off, and tips the chair forward against a table so Billy wouldn’t climb on it, but Billy is wise. He bumps it and goes back to his “throne.”
Billy once ate a rabbit. One of the rabbits at home… We used to have two, then he ate one. He and Milly. I thought they just caught a rat from the screaming we heard, apparently it was the rabbit already. I remember going out to see, and I saw bloody fur on Billy’s mouth, and his eyes were scary, or maybe I was just seeing red. The scene is hazy for me, and I only remember it as that, it was in red tint.
We always had to give Billy the biggest bones, and for the other dogs, the smaller ones. Even when he’s lost most of his teeth, he still insisted on having the big bones.
Billy had the hots for Poknat, and this led to his death. Well, sped up his death, rather. His behind was already swelling, and then BokBok had to get jealous and bite Billy’s balls off. I wanted to bring him to the vet next door, but… We’re broke. So we called up a public vet and they said they were closed on Sundays.
The next day, Billy seemed fine. His guts weren’t spilling out, and he didn’t seem to be bleeding. Heck, he was running around. So we thought he’d be okay. We pretended to think he’d be okay.
Ten days later, I saw him walking around but his behind was bleeding again. I told Pop that maybe we need to bring him to the vet after all. But… We’re broke.
Billy probably jumped in the storage room and got too weak to get out. The storage room had a hole in its door… It was too late in the night to go check it out… Mama found Billy in a corner in the storeroom, lifeless.
Papa put him in a black garbage bag and had the garbagemen pick him up because we had no place to bury him here.
Billy. I love you. I know you’ll be happy wherever you are. You can probably find bones there.
If you’re thinking the title refers to me, then you’re mistaken.
Have you ever been so sleepy that you don’t get to do something? Like go to the toilet and pee?
My puppy sleeps on my bed. I even took a picture of him earlier because he was so cute.
He’s so cute, isn’t he?
This one was a couple of days ago:
Sooo… Earlier, I was at the desktop computer and he was in bed sleeping. I heard him yawn and I looked at him and saw him stretching. I didn’t mind him since he does it all the time. A little later he was scraping on the bed and I watched him. After a while he was licking on the bed and was like restless. So I asked him what he was doing (YES, I TALK TO HIM, GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT? >_>) and of course he didn’t reply. I let him do it for a few more minutes until I got irritated so I went to him and asked again. He suddenly laid on the bed like flat with his legs apart. I asked him why he stopped and he didn’t answer again… I asked him what he was hiding there and tried pulling him and he wouldn’t budge. And then my hand slipped to the bed.
Wet.
It was wet.
HE PEED!
=___=
He was like a little boy who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, or a kid who was about to be reprimanded for doing something wrong. -___-
At that time I was angry at him, but looking back on it now, it was kind of funny how he was like a little boy. =_=
I tied him outside but Mama untied him and let him run around again =_=.
v This is him carrying his plastic water bowl (which he spilled and made a mess of)
^ Doesn’t he look like he’s saying “Feed Me Mommy Miii!”? He’s so hard to feed =_=
^ This one reminds me of Snoopy. There was one strip where Snoopy was carrying around his food bowl.
V These ones are in night mode of my phone’s camera:
^ Taba was using the back of my knee as a pillow. I couldn’t move!
^ It’s not that I’m thinking of eating him, but this just really reminds me of a whole dead chicken ready to be fried or roasted.
Last week, I gave Lori one of the Independence Day puppies. I was planning to let Lori choose whether they want Kulit or Taba… but when they came and ready to take away a puppy, I just said they were gonna take Kulit.
I made Kulit presentable. Gave him a bath, sprinkled him with
