Adopted

Kapag gusto naming maglakwatsa kapag school break, ang problema? si Mia ang aming magiting na pusa. Ininterview ko ang mga malalapit na kaibigan kung sino ang pwedeng pag-iwanan ng aming miaw pero walang nangtangkang umampon sa kanya that time dahil yung isa me allergy, yung isa malayo ang bahay, yung isa takot sa pusa at yung isa naman gusto pero hindi dadalhin sa bahay nila.

look how bait ni Mia

nung umuwi kame ng pinas nung feb.14, 2013 parang gustong sumama sa bagahe namen kawawa looks

buti nalang si isa kong mare willing syang ampunin gagawin nya daw baby

will u be my valentine?

 at ngayon pebrero na naman kame ay mag fa-far away pero meron ng umampon sa kanya

meaning Mia will be also On Vacation!!!! youpiiii
Dear Mia - now you're adopted, be good and ne fait pas des bêtises (",)

My 1st post for 2013

Hooray! Nakapag-post din ako for the very first time for 2013. Of course, di ko palalampasin ang month ng January na wala man lang update sa aming family-lovah life :). Pano naman naging busying-busy sa lahat ng bagay bago mag-goodbye sa nakaraang taon. Pagkatapos, sinundan pa ng pagkakasakit ng aking mahal na anak na sa ngayoy, nakapasok na sa eskwelahan sapagkat siya ay back into form na. Imagine, halos isang linggong nilalagnat. Nagkatrangkaso si Bibingclara. She got flu o tinatawag na "grippe" sa pranses. Anyway, anyway tapos na ang virus kaya naman we are back to normal. Before i end, i would like to share some photos sa mga kaganapan ng aming pagsalubong sa 2013. Eto ang mga naging kaganapan ng buwan ng Enero :)

after our holiday on ice, souvenir na photo ni Bibingclara with the trainor of course nakadisplay yan sa room nya wala nga lang frame diko pa nabibilhan ( the snow ball with bear, bought in Monoprix kaisa-isa kong regalo nung pasko ke Bibingclara binuksan nya yan dun sa ski para merong thrill me regalo sya somehow )

welcome 2013 ( lighted candle yan, hindi ko sinindihan iuwi ko yan sa pinas madalas dun ang brown-out hehe)

three kings - galette des rois --- mauulit ito hanggang miyerkules masarap na miryenda 

naka-experience ulet kame ng big snow after long years kuha yan sa balcony nung first morning na non-stop ang pag-snow :) hindi lang mga bata ang excited pati ang mga young at heart of course

nakagawa din ako ng fondant chocolate youpiii habang ang mag-ama ay busying-busy sa paggawa ng snowman sa balcony :)

wedding anniversary na aming ipinagdiwang kinabukasan ( ohh la la sept ans, time flies so fast )

Cheers! ang mga party people nagpa-picture ke bonhomme de neige!

eto ang naging eksena ng batang me sakit natengga sa bahay. pati ang aming pusang si Mia walang appetite! hindi kumakain tulog ng tulog nag-re reduce siguro hahaha
Pagkatapos ng snow --- eto isang week na puro ulan, nakaka--T-mad! specially kapag kailangan kong mag shopping ng aming food para punuin ang ref. Courage! courage! i must go now bago pa man lumakas ang ulan. Brrr.. bye folks (",)

Camping at Les Peupliers

Tomorrow we will gonna leave from the campsite of les peupliers here in Ile de Ré La flote. We will gonna stay one week again to another camping place near mother in law's retired home. We can say that we are super satisfied with our mobile home. We are surrounded by gentle people like neighbors with childrens, that's why our Bibingclara never gets bored coz she has her playmates all the time. Oh yeah, in this campsite there's also Club enfants ( Children's club ) and they have swimming pool as well. So for our kid, playtime is all the time :)

little kitchen

Mia gets free after two days, she knows where she homes
Mia looks contented too. We're lucky enough to be surrounded by neighbors who love's cat ( madalas mangapit-bahay itong aming pusa ) well, we will see tomorrow when we will checking-in into another campsite, if we could get the same ambience as here cross fingers :)

Off to vacation

We left our home last week, all packed and ready. Embracing summer timeeeee....

the 2 sumbreros

see? lot's of abubot i made sure talaga na i have my own kaldero, sangkalan etc. etc.. in the end, i omitted some na hindi talaga kailangan pati ang sumbrero na alam kong mayuyupi lang sa pagkaka-impake :(

i packed our clothes using plastic bags it's practical kapag inarrange sa bubungan ng kotse di na kailangan ng malaking maleta :) pati si Mia inimpake namen hahaha

bye-bye little tomatoes

before leaving pumitas kame ng tatlong hinog na, kawawa naman ang tomatoes namen walang kakain ;(

last glimpse sa aming balcony - naalala namen big mistake, hindi nadala ang bike ni Bibingclara

en route - 5 hours driving
Will post more photos of our vacation. Have a great Sunny Saturday!

Will bring Mia ( our cat ) with us

We have no choice but to bring our Mia to our near vacation - CAMPING! we know for a fact that it will gonna be complicated for us to bring her, we really have no choice because nobody will gonna occupied our appartment during the vacation season and to take in charge of her as well so we must bring her. Bringing Mia to the camping has entrance fee yes, domestic animal has fee. Bongga! they charges fees per week without rending any service wala lang basta me bayad pag me pusa o di kaya aso hehehe anyway, we will not neglect our lovey mia so we better pay the entrance fee charges from the camping instead of paying for mia's hotel bwahaha :)

mia's photo at home two weeks ago

mia's photo last april in the veterinary where she stayed for some days after the fall
We cannot afford to hire a cat sitter during 3 weeks and so bad because it's vacay season no one of my friends will gonna look after and stay with mia wrong timing talaga. Di bale, from now palang we already thinking of kung pano namin sya dadalhin ng less pasaway thanks to Eve ( Léo's mom ) na nagbigay ng panali -Harness for Mia.

balcony screen ( para syang lambat ) Trixie protective cat net
At last, na-install na ang mega-protection para kay Mia para di na sya mahulog ulet mula sa aming balkonahe. Yes, thanks to Claudebiko ito ang kanyang nilagay inorder sa internet then four days na nagkasugat-sugat ang mga daliri ni Hubby ang hirap gawin but worth ang effort kaya naman sa mga me pusa sa tabi-tabi kung ayaw nyong gumastos sa pag emergency pagkahulog na pusang parachutiste abay magpalagay na kayo ng screen net ke Claudebiko mura lang hehehe nag announce eh noh :))))

Well, back to normal na si Mia nakakapaglakad-lakad na sa may halamanan.Pag nahulog pa sya dyan ewan ko nalang hehehe. By the way, nag-advice din kame sa aming veterinarian at nag send ng photos baka merong mga pasyenteng pusa na gusto magpakabit nitong net hehehe. Negosyo daw ba? yap si Mia ang accountant :)

Mia is better

An update of our chatonnette "Mia". She is getting better and better :) We are happy seeing her back again with her kakulitan. She also play normally now with Bibingclara ( kalmutan at habulan ). As you can see, mia feel relax in her new tent that i bought for her ( also in vide-grenier ). Bahay-bahayan nya yan as mia likes na magsumiksik kung saan-saan :)

foldable cat carrier bag - was 2 euros then i bargain to get it for 1 euro ( kuripot )

l'herbe à chat - catnip normally selling 3 euros in the flower shop
We are still waiting for the protection screen ( to install on our balcony ) we ordered from the internet.We should install it soon as possible to protect Mia from falling. For the moment, Mia's not allowed to go out play with the plants. She must contented of playing her herbs for the meantime in waiting. Actually, Claudebiko got the catnip for FREE. He was actually looking for the cheapest one ( let say under 3 euros ) the florist said, they will gonna have "catnip for 1 euro" next day but the delivery didn't arrived on time. So when hubby came back they offerred it for free. Our wallet must continue stretching till the month of Mia's vaccination which will gonna be this coming summer i think in june. All the money we spent since our cat accident ( veterinarian fees, emergency operation, protection screen, accessories, foods etc.. etc.. ). Well, that's life! we must take good care well enough our lovey dovey Mia. I must have to help hubby to earn money instead of spending hehehe nowadays, we must really have to watch our budget. Tumanggap kaya ako ng labada? ngek :)

Mia is in veterinary clinic

Another date to remember, last night our cat Mia fell down from our building for the second time. The first accident was happened 2-year ago, the night before hubby's bday. Mia only 6 months old that time. I felt quite guilty because it was me who opened the window for her to go exit ( little access in the kitchen going to the balcony ) as mia's disturbing me while i was prepping food for dinner for our guests, the person who'll actually gonna look after her during our absence for some days. We are in the middle of serving our main course when the incident happens. Claudebiko and i were both in the kitchen when somebody ring our door ( our kind lady neighbor from1st floor ) informing us that our cat fell down. The neighbor tell Claudebiko what she had witnessed during the fall. Our meal interrupted, we get all shocked.

photo december 2011 after x-mas party : Mia resting
Claudebiko picked our poor Mia on the ground, with the mouth bleeding. All emotion. Everybody sad :(. Mia has no other injury as we observe except on the mouth which continously bleeding. The emergency veterinarian arrived immediately and gave mia an injection. The veterinarian from last night said, that mia's jaw has dislocate and if it surely diagnose from the x-ray maybe an operation will be needed. We already thinking of cancelling our trip to London if Mia has a big fracture seriously. Good thing because we got a good news a little later from our own veterinarian telling us that our Mia is doing good. They did the job of joining mia's fracture on the mouth. And in fact, mia can come back home tonight. Lucky cat! I hope that there will be no more chat parachutiste happens. Hopefully, never anymore for our Mia.
