I am a dog Lover

The Dogs in my Life

Raph & cousin Tala on Jackpot's 2nd Chritsmas with us

I am a dog lover. In fact, I still remember the names of all the dogs I had. My first dog was pure a golden retriever whom I truly adore for 13 years before resting in peace is Bar. He was brought home by my aunt whom amazingly is a well behave pet and never nibbled a slipper or a shoe. After Bar, my aunt gave me another dog which is a breed of an authentic Askal (A common term for breed of Philippine dog which are of medium size, and has thin fur and are only usually in colours white, brown, black or a misture f the 3 colours). We named him Ram, in honour of Gringo Honasan’s movement.  I had no choice but to call the dog Ram because my uncle has high respect with the former military officer. Before Ram died, someone in our neighbour gave me a dog and I finally had the chance to name him. Since I was so frantic with the Rambo movie that time, of course I named him after the famous movie character. Then when I lived with my parents at Bulacan, my mama’s dog gave birth with 3 dogs and I totally asked for the most furry and adorable puppy. I then named him Alovera (used to be a famous shampoo brand), since her mom’s name is Shampoo and all the rest of Alovera’s siblings are also named from other shampoo brands, Palmolive and Sunsilk. I took a very long time before I had had another dog.

Then before I got pregnant, my hubbyness and I found a big-eyed, bald, stout and fat dog following us around. We looked for her owner for 2 days and even reported it to the nearest police stations around the place we found her. After few days, the dog’s fur grew longer than we expected and we finally realize it was a Shitzu breed then we decided to assumed ownership of her and started calling her Jackpot. Long before our son (Raph) came, we actually had a baby. We all gave her all the doggie stuff she needed: expensive shampoos and bath needs, dog food and supplements, pet vaccines and other dog vitamin boosters, and (oh boy can you believe it?!) cutie little clothes. Jackpot was a charm. She has been our dog for about 3 years but we lost her (or I really suspected someone stole her when we took a summer vacation at Manila). We did paired her to few shitzu breed dogs but all did not succeed in laying her down (hahaha, so way picky, she rather hang out with larger dogs whom all were too desperate to reach what should be reached hehehe). I actually grieved when Jackpot left us (maybe she wandered around new eligible pet owner, sob, sob). God, I missed Jackpot. I remember her bark every time she needs a pee or poop outside or her crazy censored act every time she feels so hot (lol. Creepy but missed).

After Jackpot, our former Pension house owner (which we rented for few months) gave a little Japanese Pitch puppy. The pension house caretaker insists in naming her Joross (after a newly rising Star circle Quest contestant’s name. But the real Joross was a guy, right?). Since the dog is a female, we name her Ruthie (after the name of my fave little smart kid at 7^th Heaven’s reruns).  Okay, I decide the name of our 2 dogs but my hubbyness thought for the name of our son’s very tedious name Imagine, our son has to take a board exam and he has to write on his given name: Raph Marcus Venicio. And that is only the first name; he has to write my maiden name and my hubby’s family name! Whew! Talking about tediousness in writing ones name. Since we move often, and now, we aren’t allowed to have pets on our apartment (but I wonder why our compound is filled with different pets?!) ‘till now, Ruthie stays with my in laws’ house together with 5 other dogs (oh, I think there are only 3 dogs which includes Ruthie in that count; the rest were either given away or had been dead for old age reasons). We wished Ruthie can bear more high quality Japanese pitch puppies(even the only possible breed link is a full-blooded askal); Ruthie still hasn’t bore one at her 5^th year of existence (beauty queen lang na statement eh hehehe). I guess good breeds are hard to produce (hehehe).

If God willing, we are able to own a place of our own, I would love to have another dog like Jackpot. Or perhaps like Douglas (the famous humongous dog at Baguio City) who can keep us company when our dearest son decides to study on far universities from home (though that time will be a decade or more from now, who knows).  After all, we can’t have a new one now; I have now paranoia about unexpected pet attack (might share you next time why I now fear dogs, not that I watch too much animal attack documentaries on cable. But the idea is freaking me out a bit).

Dogs are such fun company and never complains (if ever they did complain, they never bug so much you as man do). Truly dogs are man’s best friend. For now, we settled for a gold fish named Fishy (because Raph has asthma and a fish won’t cause any allergy). But sadly Fishy died last week; I’ll just buy new fish tomorrow, maybe a janitor fish or a fighting fish this time and name it... Guido – one of the character on Raph’s fave movie The Cars.

Time to Heckle!

Justine Beiber Alert

Louie Vuitton was so furious in seeing teeny bopper singer wearing a LV trademark print jacket. The classy and luxurious company protest and said that the jacked Justin wore is a cheap fake copy cat...

We all know Justin started humbly as an internet sensation youtube star. Until, he got where he is now, but oh boy Justin, I guess you can now afford to buy real LV. So you better stop using imitation products because you are now being followed with tons of eyes. If you can’t splurge on buying an authentic LV, screw it, please don’t attempt to wear fake items. How would you like your record album be distributed in piracy style?!

Team Marian vs. Team Karylle Revisited

 I saw Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes this afternoon on GMA7’s Showbiz Central, who was excitedly promoting their new soap on the said channel. While Karylle has been back weeks from her international TV musical show at Singapore (applause to Karylle and all the Pinoy cast  included on The Kitchen Musical) and trying to lean down to vice’s troop’s silliness on their new time slot of Showtime. 

Heck, do people forgot what Marian and Dingdong did? Do they deserve happy ending? I wish. All is well that ends well, they said. I would not support such hypocorism. I wonder why Dingdong gave up a woman who finishes college at a good university (not just a cheap extension of an exclusive university), a cum laude grad, a true talent, modest and a good writer; over a rude and clumsy woman. I still cling to the facts that Karyle has never been dragged into a word mouth scandal while Marian has a bunch of videos showing her unfriendly and cruel mouth with her fans, PA’s and co-workers. Well, it must be love for Dingdong, he risked it all. As for Karylle, I hope she better find a man better than just a door bell. I guess Marian is obviously amusingly lively to be with than Karyle’s intelligent but boring ways.

Bianca Manalo  John Prats – a Marian  Dingdong in the Making

After weeks Bianca’s vehement denial on involvement on John Prats – Rachel Ann Go’s break uplast year, the two co-hosts (John and Bianca) were spotted several time hanging out (or as many suspected dating together). During interviews, Bianca even swore she has no special relationship with John. 

I had never experienced being dumped by an ex just because of another girl, but I have untoward feeling to girls like Marian and Bianca. If in marriage, I presume they are the Kiridas; in movies they are the contrabidas. I know guys may fall out of love at times, but as a well-mannered woman, you should never take advantage of the breakup. If you really love each other then they should have waited the proper time and not flirt around during ones relationship. And what I didn’t like is that those women should have not foully denied and violently said a clear conviction if they are not able to stand what they supposed innocently exclaimed which they are not. Good thing for Karylle and Rachel, they learned early on that those guys don’t have enough balls to be a man. ‘Yaan nyo, sabi ni Oprah, they will surely experience same way your guys did to you. Thrice pa ang pain! ”Never trust a man who dumped her ex just for you, he will surely do it with you again..”

Demi Moore  Ashton Kutcher

Reports said veteran actress overdosed herself with unprescribed drugs which includes cheap inhaling whip it to expensive dietary pills. Her alleged break out is due to her divorce with long time husband Ashton Kutcher. With almost 2 decades apart from their age, the two fell inlove and got married but eventually got lost in the way. Kutcher was accused of womanizing younger women that lead Ms. Demi to try hard to keep up with Ashton’s age. Before the break down scandal, few photos of Demi show a very thin and unhealthy figure. Early last year, Demi also had people talking when she took photos of herself in bathing suits inside a bathroom and posting it on twitter. 

Who says, age doesn’t matter? It really is. It is obvious that Demi was so stressed in keeping up with Ashton’s era and taste. Though Demi at her age is still visually appealing and gorgeous, she still felt she is lacking. People had rudely called her cougar (though as most people view the “cougar”word is a positive address to successful and still pretty woman who’s in their 40’s); she became too depressed and substantially ill. I was right then, Ashton is a jerk, nobody realized that until what she did with Demi.

Kris Aquino’s Promise is a Promise to Break

In the recent interview with Kris, she promised that she won’t enter in a new relationship. She tactlessly told credible and respected showbiz journalist that her sisters are surely happy and hoping she’ll keep her promise. Knowing herself well and realizing that she can’t keep her uttered words to keep, she swiftly added that her promise of being single is just for a while and maybe sometime next year she’d be happy to open her heart again.

As expected, Kris can’t live without someone to #@$@$#$#% her heart! She’s such a brat that she totally knew her family would still love her unconditionally regardless how reckless her decisions are. I used to hate Kris a lot when I was younger, but when I got married and had kids, I kind of feel for her. And the fact i enjoyed her shows because she puts a lot of hard work, research and effort in being a talk show host. She always makes her show fun even in the most boring topic and most annoying guest her shows have. But in talking about her personal life and the way she decide her life – she is a total wreck. I hope she finally listen to her siblings and learn the value of ‘marriage’. The old famous saying has deeper meaning than it seems, “Ang pag-aasawa ay di parang kaning isusubo na pagnapaso pwedeng iluwa”. Marriage is too hard and complicated to understand.  As a married person and with a 4-year-old son, yes, there may have times I wished I can just walk out of it and give up. But the essence of marriage does not base only if how long had been the couple had been happy or how frequent does the two fight. It is not a plain agreement that both must always felt that same sparking feeling they both felt before they commit themselves together. Phase after phase of marriage, it must really come to the point of surviving together despite of differences and painful moments together.  (Except of course, it will be another story if fidelity issue hahaha! ) I hope Kris realizes that and must accept that what is marriage is.
