Kwentong ganda ever so much

Akala ni Orman, sya lang ang may kaya
Magsulat ng patula at nakakatawa
Pwes ako rin, gagayahin ko
Sa pagkwekwento ko
Kung paano ko nalaman ang
GandaEverSoMuch.com

Teka, teka, teka
Paano nga ba?
Sa Olaer ko sya unang nakilala
Isnabero nga,
Este, isnabera and lola
At di gaanong pinansin ang beauty ko (hmp!)
Sumunod sa Tuna Festival
Habang judge ako sa cooking contest
Pero di rin kami nagpansinan
Di pa kasi kami close
In fairness to him,
Nung nakaibigan ko na sya
At nalaman nyang nagjudge ako
Tinanong nya agad kung pinansin nya ako

Paano nga kami naging friends?
Ahh oo nga pala
Pinakain ko lang sya ng
Homemade Spanish sardines ko
Close na kami
Lalo pang naging palagay ako
Nang malaman kong may mga anak na kami
Si Pasta at si Chad

At nakiramay din sya

Nung mawala si Shadow girl sa piling ko

Nakigulo sa paghanap ng pangalan

Ng aso ko ngayon

Nuon ko rin nalaman ang blog nyang
GandaEverSoMuch.com

Sa una'y, hhmm...
Anong klaseng blog `to
Sa pangalawa'y, ano na naman kaya
Ang isinulat ni Orman?
At ngayon sa araw-araw
Inaabangan
Ang mga kwento at emo

Para mo na rin kasing naranasan

Ang pinagdaanan nya

Matatawa, maiiyak ka

Parang life talaga.

Kaya’t heto, umabot na

Sa 200 words

Ang blog post na ito

Kaya’t ako’y tapos na po.

Happy 1st anniversary of your blog, Orman!

Pasta playing fetch in the sea

This blog is becoming more like Pasta's blog! Hhmm...

Last weekend, Pasta and I were at the beach with colleagues and trainees. The trainees were finishing their course with us and it was time to party! I was so excited to go to the beach, more so because I was bringing Pasta with me. Pasta's first time to meet the sea was quite funny. She must really be wondering why it was so salty. But later on, she couldn't get enough of swimming. I happily obliged, of course.

Bringing Pasta to the beach was like bringing kids. Leash? Check. Collar? Check. Toys? Check. Towels? Check. Snack (apples)? Check. She had a bag of her own! On the way, she threw up, though. Her first time to go on a long trip!

Having brought her toys, we played fetch. I'd throw her beany to the sea and she'd fetch it for me.She was really up to it!

Check out my GenSan Gems Giveaway. Just comment and get a chance to with some goodies from GenSan.

Pasta meets the sea for the first time

Have you read about the GenSan Gems Giveaway?

Over the weekend, we had a group outing to the beach! I have been in GenSan for over a year, and it's only now that I'm going to Gumasa, Sarangani Province which is well known in this parts for white sand beaches. I was so excited, as finally, I can hit the beach. I was even more excited to get the chance to bring Pasta to the beach. Labrador retrievers love the water, so I was really excited how she would react to the sea. 

Pasta's first impression? The sea is salty!!!

Here's a video of her as she meets the sea for the first time.

Conversations with Pasta

My baby's grown!

And so has her wit! I always have this imaginary conversations with her on whatever's happening here at home. I do talk to her most of the time and she does the listening. Here are snipets of our conversations I've posted in my Facebook status.

***

Me: Pasta, alam kong mahilig talaga ang mga labrador retrievers sa tubig. Yung inuman mo, batya na nga ang gamit ko. Pagnag-walking tayo, nakikiinom ka sa mga nagdidilig ng halaman. Yung spout ng water hose natin, gigil na gigil ka pag walang tubig... pero, pati ba naman water bill pinag-iinitan mo?

Pasta: Ooopps...

***

Me: Nanuod ako ng Clash of the Titans kanina. Pegasus reminds me of you.
Pasta: Pwede kaya ako magkapakpak?
Me: Ambisyosa ka naman dyan! :p

***

Another conversation with Pasta.
Me: Uy may summer kinder class dito sa subdivision. Enroll ko kaya ikaw?
Pasta: Hmp!(sabay taas ng kilay at balik tulog)

***

Astronomy lessons with Pasta.


Me: Pasta, yan ang moon.
Pasta: awwwoo! awwwooo!
Me: Pasta, walang ganyanan...

Her name is Pasta...

It took me some to finally name her, but I've decided to call her Pasta. For so many reasons, foremost of which is that I had a small black dog once named Pasta (1989-1999). Now, I've got a soon-to-be big black dog. That's how long I've loved eating pasta dishes. Since high school! Life in GenSan is almost complete!

Now, this girl is really, really playful! Striking a pose here and there...

Playing with her favorite toy.

Curious as a cat.

She knows how to sit and lie down, too!

You're probably wondering who won the Team Pacquiao shirt, right? Thanks to all of you joined my contest. For a while, I was torn between Midnight and Sandwich, but I really wasn't to keen on calling her that. I listed down all the commenters here, also those that commented on Orman's repost and used Random.org to select the winner:

And # 12 on my list is Leonard Pe!!! Thanks to all who joined my mini-contest.
