Hitched

Yes! We are engaged and we are getting married next year at the historical Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati. It will be a small wedding of about 40 guests, most of which are relatives and close friends who have always been there for us for the past years.

Coaster

This is my fancy coaster. My previous French boss gave it to me when he got back from a meeting in Paris. Its design came from Alphonse Mucha's beer advertising poster called "Bières de la Meuse" which was printed out during the 1890's. The woman in the painting looks demure and her adorable curly hair is decorated with different beer ingredients. This coaster looks nice and it's got a bit of history in it, but I would still have preferred chocolates.

Vespa

This is our 3-year old green Vespa parked beside the dogs' chew bones and some dusty old books. We used to display this bike when we were living in our old apartment but now it's just part of the clutter piling up in the small room. This replica is too nice to be ignored so we'll display it again together with our other collectibles when we finally get the time to clean up the place.

Magic Word

Our dogs go nuts whenever they hear the magic words "treat" or "reward". They would then run over to the refrigerator and patiently wait for us to bring out their cookies. The word "cookie" doesn't mean anything for them but I think Bruno is now slowly starting to learn what it means.

Here's what happens when you say "cookie" with a high-pitched voice in front of Bruno.

Cabinets

There are too many cabinets in this apartment. Too many that there's no more room to hang up picture frames and posters. There's even one in the bedroom that is oddly placed. It blocks the door to the balcony and it's so big, we can no longer fit a even a small TV in the bedroom.

The one in the living room is my favorite. It's where we keep our Playstation, grocery bags, doggie poop bags, old CDs and DVDs, tumblers, and mails. We use it to hang our clothes to dry, and it is where I usually bump my head whenever I clean the house.

Bruno

Meet Bruno, the awesome dog. He's the big fat brother of Kiko who spends most of his day lying on his bed or on the couch. He hops like a rabbit, jumps like a cat, and runs as fast as a cheetah. It's amazing how he's able to to do all these things despite his size. He's awesome!

Give Bruno a treat!

Kiko

Meet my dog Kiko. He's the shyest in the litter but he grew up to be a very loving and loyal shih tzu. Every afternoon he would go sunbathing at our small balcony with Bruno. At night, he lies down by the front door waiting for Koi to come home.

Give Kiko a treat!
