New addition to our doggie family

2011-06-12T14:47:00.000-07:00

We have a new member in our family – MILO Aka Meatloaf/ Porky Pig. He's a miniature English Bull dog from California born Feb 16 2011 *just happens to be the SAME birthday as me which I had found out later…what are the chances…it is meant to be!! We actually had a down payment on a pup from a different breeder but due to complications, it never happened so we were referred to other breeders with a selection of pups we came across Milo’s picture and we knew he was it. He was PERFECT with the perfect color, patch and rolls– and you would know that’s the one when you see it – me and Alfred both agreed from the first pic we saw of him.

We had him flown into Canada on April 27 Weds, I had just got home from work and there he was.. he was just a little pup so small you can lift up with one hand. He had a big head and huge paws but short stubby legs with a small body. He was jet lagged from his flight from Cali yet he was still awake curious with his surroundings. We meet for the first time and I was instantly in love. He is very different than the fluffy White dog that im used to and Ive never seen an actual real bull dog in life..Ive never paid much attention to this type of breed beforebut he is just soooo adorable and im in love <3 ..hes so smart with a great personality. Now I just hope my other 2 dogs Rusty and Gizmo would start getting along with him but itll take some time..

.Laugh.

2011-04-02T12:09:00.000-07:00

Laugh when you can

Apologize when you should

And let go of what you cant change

Lifes too short to be anything but HAPPY :o)

RIP My Beloved Gizmo

2011-01-23T19:41:00.000-08:00

A week ago today my beloved dog Gizmo of 13 yrs sadly passed away. The pain and heartache is still very raw and it still hurts so much even when I try not to think about it. I know that time is a healer as pain will subside and eventually turn into good memories. I know some people dont understand how hard this is as they think the loss of a pet must be easy but for me it has been as devastating as losing a family member

It was very unexpected and devastating since Gizmo did not even show any signs prior until she was brought into the hospital for blood work due to bleeding gums and a fever, that was when they pointed out bruised spots all over her back. She had to stay overnight for IV, blood work, X-Rays etc.. though no one there could figure out what was wrong with her even after all these tests. Then we received the call we dread to get that she was in critical condition and we had to go back immediately. By the time we got back to the hospital she was very weak and blood clot has spread throughout her body, we asked for a specialist to rush over to do a ultra sound in hopes to find the cause/treatment. This took a long 30+ mins which we were by her side comforting her while giving her oxygen. I guess we both knew the end was near hearing her breath abnormally but the ultra sound was our last hope.. by the time the specialist finally made it in, Gizmo took one last long breath and she was gone at approx 4:45pm with us beside her. The specialist ruled out the cause was due to low blood platelet count resulting massive internal bleeding which could happen in a matter of hours. My heart is aching so much and a part of our family is gone. What was once a pack of 3 is now 2 leaving Rusty and Pebbles left which I don’t even think they have realized Gizmo is gone.

Gizmo you are in doggie heaven now you brought us so much love and joy throughout these 13 years together .. You were so smart, loyal, beautiful and gentle.. so snuggly and soft . I miss your polar bear walk, those cute sounds you made, the cute head tilting and your soft gentle licks. I hope to see you in my dreams and we miss you soooo much. Til we meet again.. you will be in our hearts forever.

After watching the movie 'The Bucket list' where the characters compiled a list of things to accomplish for motivation and a desire to stay young at heart, id thought Id give this a try with a list of my own..not that im planning to die anytime soon! but I just thought it would be fun/inspirational and try to make 2011 be the year to do some of the things id like to accomplish one day. Ive never thought of writing one of these ‘Things to Do Before I Die’ lists before but it is actually kind of interesting. I really needed to take time to evaluate what my goals, hopes and dreams are and where my current life routine is taking me and then do everything to go after these life visions to help refocus and reprioritize energies on rewarding activities and achievements.

Grease-mania

2010-11-14T01:15:00.000-08:00

Grease has got to be the best musical and movie soundtrack of all time for me. A story about a group of 50’s greasers and bobby soxers.. back when music and cars were a life style. I absolutely love the 50’s… the style and attitude..the movie drive-ins, malt shops diners, pencil skirts and classic rock and roll.. this is definitely my favorite decade

Anyway back to Grease..it was actually a Broadway stage musical in the early 70’s before it was made as a movie in 1978. Its been 30+ years since its release and this classic has remained one of my fav movies of all time since I first watched it on a TV special when I was in the 4^th grade?! gosh I feel old… and no matter how many times you watch it, it never gets old! I might have watch it nearly 100 times now…

So I was absolutely thrilled when I heard that the Grease musical was finally coming to Vancouver and quickly secured tickets for Halloween night which also finalized my decision on my costume as Pink Lady. I love everything about the 50’s and this was my chance to go all out with 50s wear. Also it was in my favorite color Pink! Well the musical was a blast and entertaining with soooo much energy.. Id love to do it all over again..

oh and there was even a theater release of a Grease sing-a-long version during the summer. Its like

karaoke on the big screen with lyrics on the bottom and having the entire audience participate! how geeky fun is that!

Clip from the movie:

**on a side note Johnny Depp is the HOTTEST bad ass greaser in Cry Baby

Heres a clip of the original 70’s Broadway Cast – Summer nights

I heart Tokidoki

2010-10-18T00:02:00.000-07:00

A Japanese inspired brand created by Italian artist Simone Legno - Tokidoki meaning “sometimes” in Japanese has now gained worldwide recognition not just in toys, apparel but theres also make up, footwear, skateboards, jewellery..accessories..etc

I absolutely love every single piece of clothing ive bought since Ive first spotted this brand a few years ago during my trip in Hawaii where there was a launch for the LeSportsac line of Tokidoki bags. Ive been searching for their products since and not until my recent trip to LA – I was able to visit their retail store on Melrose Avenue and I was in Tokidoki heaven!! *only 3 other stores in the world which are located in Italy, NY and Taiwan . There are many Tokidoki characters from the tattooed asian girls which are my favourite to the cutsy cactus friends, skeletrino (skeleton pet cat), moofia (milk carton/bottle characters), captain coco..etc

Wall mural pic taken at the Melrose store

Heres one of my Tokidoki purchase at the store and my fav bag right now:

Comes with a cutsy rainbow unicorn keychain - loooove it

Tokidoki art also makes great tattoos!

Child of the 80s

2010-05-02T02:56:00.000-07:00

I can recall a lot of the 80s but didnt realize what a special era I was living in and have many fond memories of that time...what a colourful, fun and creative decade it was. How I miss those simple pleasures and everything was so innocent and carefree! We didnt have the internet but we had pen pals. I had an old school banana seated pink bicycle which I rode to Girl Scouts get togethers. Roller skating rinks were cool, and we had skates not rollerblades. I had a big sticker collection mostly Scratch and Sniff ones and I had an obsession with unicorns. This was back when trick or treating was fun and streets were safe for kids

I remember playing Pac-Man , Frogger, Donkey kong, Space Invaders, Qbert on my Atari

I had toys like Rainbow bright, Cabbage patch, Garbage Pail kids, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears and just about everyone owned a rubiks cube

I liked Wham, Aha, Tears For Fears, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, MJ, Culture Club…oh and Tiffany

My favourite shows were Silver spoons (LOVED Ricky Schroder ) Knight Rider, Facts of Life, Mork & Mindy, Threes Company, The A-Team , Wonder Woman and even The Greatest American Hero There was nothing better than watching cartoons like the Scooby doo, Smurfs, He-man, Richie Rich, The Littles, The Last Unicorn, The Berenstain Bears, Inspector Gadget..etc

I could never get enough of the Goonies (which my first movie theatre experience with friends), Gremlins, ET, Superman, The Lost Boys, Never Ending Story and Labyrinth

Ill never forget the neon hair ties/clothing, jelly shoes, rubber bracelets, MAD magazines, Kool aid, pop rocks, snoopy snow cone machine, Chuck E Cheese and ‘Wheres the Beef!’

It was a nice time in my life but as a kid then, I was 16 by the end of the 1980s. This was the decade to be a kid and I hope to never forget all those good memories… this is really making me feel old now but warm and fuzzy..what a great time it was. It would be interesting to read about 'children of the 90’s and 2000'

Olympic mania!

2010-02-27T03:06:00.000-08:00

Only a few days left with the olympics here in Vancouver, im going to try and soak it up as much as I can! Its been crazy madness in the downtown core area with tens of thousands of people everywhere everyday these past 2 wks.. its crowded as hell but its so much fun with all the energy and excitement around.. What an experience!

**heres my favourite olympic mascot – the mythical “Quatchi”

sasquatch is so cute and fluffy!

Tale of devotion

2010-02-07T23:15:00.003-08:00

Hachiko – a great movie based on a true story and one of the most touching movie ive seen about a bond formed between a dog `Hachiko` and his owner. I cried intensely towards the last 30 mins.. what a lovely and moving story

This movie is a adaptation of the real story which took place back in the 1920`s in Japan, Hachiko was the faithful ``Akita`` of a Japanese university professor. Everyday he would come to the train station to await his master's train and return home together. This routine continued until one fateful day, the professor unfortunately died at work due to a heart failure

Hachiko kept coming back to the station and became a familiar sight to commuters for ten years.He died on the very same spot he last saw his master alive.

After Hachiko's death, a statue was built outside the Shibuya railroad station in honour of his loyalty. Hachiko's body was stuffed and on display at the National Science Museum of Japan

My Hong Kong trip

2009-12-30T01:32:00.000-08:00

Its been 15 years since my last visit to HK. Ive been wanting to go back for a very long time and my long awaited getaway was finalized when I decided it was finally time to go back just in time for my cousin’s wedding and grandma’s birthday. HK is a place that never sleeps and full of excitement and colour.. a busy city day and night. It is truly a shopping paradise from themed shopping districts, street markets, trendy boutiques and malls. Also known as the culinary capital of Asia from five star cuisines to traditional fast food, snacks or casual food/pastry…lots of variety with good eats everywhere you go.

Theres just so much to see and do in this bustling vibrant city, I was literally walking from day to night everyday..LOTS of walking. If you’ve never walked the streets of an Asian mega city before get ready for a major workout and sturdy shoes with shoe gel pads is a must. With no pads the first 2 days of walking resulted to massive pain on my arch, heel and lower back which until today im still feeling pain around the arch bone.. oh well it was certainly worth it

So here are some highlights from my trip, lets start with the food which was on top of my list.

Modern Toilet

A popular Asian chain “toilet themed” restaurant where you sit on a toilet bowl seat and eat/drink from miniature toilet bowls and urinal cups. You can even order swirly chocolate ice cream on a squat toilet that looks like poop.. hmm appetizing?

___________________________________________________

“Yung Kee” one of the most famous and oldest restaurants in HK where you can have classic Cantonese food. Everyone comes here for the signature dish: Roast Goose which was superb and have won numerous awards. Other than the goose, according to their menu it listed that every dish that’s been entered into competitions had won over the past few decades including Iron Chef! Fortune magazine also named it as one of the top 15 restaurants in the world (the only Chinese Restaurant to be included in the list) ___________________________________________________

“Sing Heung Yuen” This is a traditional type of street side food stall and one of the most famous ones left, a great way to experience HK food in a old fashion way. Don’t expect to get a seat right away as this place is known to have line ups throughout the day. Locals and tourists would come here for their specialty items such as their many types of tomato broth dishes , milk tea and crispy condensed milk toast *expect long line ups ___________________________________________________

"Kau Kee"

Noodle shop with over 80 yrs of history serving famous tender beef brisket cooked with a secret recipe and its flavoured broth - the best beef broth ive ever tasted and rated one of its best in HK *expect long line ups __________________________________________________

"Tai Cheung"

This egg tart heaven which serves fresh batches of piping hot egg tarts every 15 mins as people line up ordering by the dozen. No doubt this is one of the best buttery pastry crust ive ever had with its extremely smooth and silky egg custard that melts in your mouth with every bite.

___________________________________________________

SHOPPING:

The shops in HK open late and stay open later. Don’t expect stores to be opened in the morning as most shops are shut and HK people are late night owls. My favourite are the street markets where you can find cheap clothes, bags, watches and souvenirs.

Kowloon side of Hong Kong (Street markets and full of shops selling bargain priced trendy fashion and goodies ):

Sportswear street (Fa Yuen St)

Ladies Market

Temple Street Goldfish Market

_____________________________________________________

NATHAN ROAD KOWLOON - Walk under the neon lights in the busiest streets of Nathan Road which runs through 4 districts and is lined on both sides with tons of shops and restaurants along the street then spread out to different points. This street can definitely induce sensory overload

__________________________________________________

CAUSEWAY BAY HK - This major shopping district and one of the most crowded areas in HK is most famous for its 13 storey Japanese department store “SOGO” and Time Square (an indoor shopping complex) along with many smaller malls/shops all concentrated in this area

__________________________________________________

MACAU I have not read about Macau since my last visit years ago and was surprised to find out that it has now developed to a little Vegas with familiar casino hotels such as MGM, Wynn, Venetian, Sands and others in development including a major casino zone called the Cotia Strip

Travel from HK to Macau is around an hour ferry ride away. However the waters were so choppy with crazy waves which its known for, I was sea sick with a nausea floaty feeling which did not go away for some reason and lasted for 2 days

So there are 2 sides of Macau (which is also a former Portuguese colony) – theres the heritage sites and historic streets then theres the developing so called Las Vegas of the East. The 3 must do’s in Macau is to taste the famous Macanese and Portuguese food, sightseeing and casino hopping.

My favourite Portugeuse Egg tart treat:

Lots of food everywhere and free food sample tasting

Macau at night - the little Vegas of the east interesting find is you will see casinos all on one side of the street and then theres pawn shops all on the opposite side of street.. only in Macau!

Old Macau with a mixture of Chinese and Portuguese buildings as well as heritage sites from the 1800's

This street on the bottom right was really cool with only Red wooden doors , windows and signs on all the units throughout the street

AND FINALLY..... 1 hour foot massage only $13.00 USD!!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Wow it has been a while since my last post. Ive been back from my 2 week Hong Kong vacation several weeks now but it has taken me a long time to recuperate coming back to reality! Hope to have some time to work on my travel blog to highlight my adventures during this holiday break. Happy holidays

2009-11-14T00:50:00.000-08:00

This has got to be one of my favourite 'YouTube' animal vids that has been around for a while.It’s a compilation of “talking cats and dogs” Love how the dog sound like Scooby doo and the cat sound like a baby

This funny x-rated African Grey parrot cracks me up.. *warning contains strong language!

I would love to have one...so fascinating and entertaining! especially when they have a British accent.. bloody hilarious!

Tough call

Halloween fun

2009-11-03T00:57:00.000-08:00

Me as "Wednesday Addams" this Halloween.Found everything at the Value Village childrens section, had to go back 4-5 times to find the perfect 3 layer outfit from the round white collar shirt, black one piece skirt, round collar button up blk sweater. Finished off the look with a collectors porcelain doll that I had to break its head off, oversized plastic knife and Black hair spray to cover my dyed hair streaks

Heres my side kick - Cousin "IT" close to life size made from a scarecrow doll as the base frame which I had to have its legs and hands extended from a little guy at 2ft tall extended to 4ft. I had fun getting him dressed up with 2 ultra long Black long wigs to cover the front and back of the head, John Lennon type round shades, Brown fedora hat along, long Brown robe and blk gloves. I hid a mini press button recorder in one of its glove to make cousin IT talk. Just a bunch of high pitch gibberish which I had pre-recorded onto the recorder

My personal scarefest thrillers x 10

2009-10-31T01:30:00.000-07:00

Ive always known the fear of being scared is worst than actually being scared,thats my problem with this one.Mustve been all those horror flicks ive seen in the past.Well its Halloween time and with the horror movie genre being one of my favorite genres its time to make up my top 10 list of my all time favorite horror movies that either :

A) scarred me for life
B) made me sleep with lights on

C) made me afraid to goto bed or washroom

D) made be afraid of the dark
E) all of the above

My Top 10:
1)The Exorcist – An obvious choice. Creepy, shocking and disturbing. A classic horror based on a true story, it scared people then and it scares people now. The rotating head, levitating body and spider walk..just some of the most classic scenes in the horror genre

2)Amityville II (The Possession) –based on a true story and the best of its series. I found it to have a very creepy atmosphere..just terrifying and eerie as hell

3)The Omen –the all time horror classic..must be something with the chanting, the music and the ruthless mean little boy.. creeeepy

4)Stir of Echoes – a psychological horror that is scary and fascinating. A story that taps into our fear of the paranormal to give plenty of chills

5) The Shining – Kubricks classic materpiece of horror in a spooky hotel of evil. Jack Nicholson goes berserk with scares around every corner from the washroom scene, the twins to redrum redrum!! oh and the bloody hallways..

6) Event Horizon – a very scary sci-fi horror with great gory special effects and disturbing to mess with your mind

7)Texas Chainsaw Massacre – intense horror with just plain blood and gore. Keeps you nervous the whole way through. Just the whole concept of being in the middle of nowhere and with nobody around to help you is scary enough

8) What Lies Beneath – great suspense horror. I couldn't look into the bathroom mirror for a week without feeling paranoid after watching this

9)Hellraiser II Hellbound - Pinhead has to be one of the creepiest villain ever! Twisted with special gore effects takes you to hell and back

10) Sleepy Hollow - Gothy director extraordinaire Tim Burton creates the best looking horror film with an amazing set and characters. Gory and dark with great cinematography

just let it be

You cannot change other people
You love them the way they are or you dont
You accept them the way they are or you dont
To try to change them to fit what you want them to be is like
trying to change a dog for a cat, or a cat for a horse.
That is a fact. They are what they are - you are what you are

Haunted House Attractions

2009-10-17T02:30:00.000-07:00

The coolest interactive haunted house has got
to be the infamous Britannia Manor located in
Austin, TX which is also home of software
billionaire Richard Garriott. Apparently he
spends over 100,000 each year to spook up this
place! The attraction goes through the mansion
including some of its secret passages and is
interactive just like a video game where you
have to crawl, climb, solve puzzles and run
like hell..

Its a full contact interactive adventure which
runs up to an hour long across 20+ stages. Since
the attraction ended back in the mid 90's theyre
back this year as Dunstan Manor with a vampire
based theme "Blood Ritual"

Would love to check this one out if only I was in Texas..
I would probably pee my pants.. voted as one of the top
haunted house attractions in the US

This one looks fun.. rated top haunted attraction in the UK
- ROOM 13 at Alton Towers Hotel

Im on the look out for one this year so I can scream my head off!!

time for a new look

2009-10-12T18:15:00.001-07:00

Its been months since my babies had their last hair cut, im such a bad mommy.. they looked like homeless dogs and had to go through the entire summer with a big shag. Well since ive been done with my deadlines last week I finally have some spare time to do things that was left aside including blogging..organizing scrap books..doing some major house cleaning and of course giving my doggies a makeover. This took me a good 4+ hours which I couldve brought them to a groomers at $30 each but I would much prefer to wash/cut them myself, ive actually never even used a groomer before. Although my dogs are poodle breed and mixed poodle, I would never give them the poodle trim. Those silly show cuts are just too goofy.. heres some funny ones

Micro porky pigs

2009-10-12T00:25:00.001-07:00

These adordable tea cup piglets are starting a new pet craze. They're small enough to fit on the palm of your hand, very clean and low maintenance, no wonder theyre gaining in pet popularity nowaways. Pigs are highly intellegent and rated the 4th smartest animal on the planet after moneys, whales and dolphins. I would love to see a trained piglet do some tricks or see someone walking one on the street!

Dogs just like to have fun

Neighbours are starting to deck out Halloween decor,

stores are filling up with costumes and sweets ..its that

time of year again to figure out what to be. I read that

millions of families across the US will be looking for

the perfect costume…... for their pets that is!

According to a survey, millions of households plan on

dressing up their pets for Halloween. Pet owners will go

all out so that pets can too trick or treat, some are even

trained to hold their own goodie bags.You might want to

have doggie treats ready in case a dachshund comes

to your door wearing a hot dog bun

The survey revealed that the top 10 costumes for pets includes:

Devil
Pumpkin
Witch
Princess
Angel
Pirate
Hot Dog
Bat
Black Cat
Clown

Silly? yes.. but its fun for all and they love the attention!
..and yes i have dressed up mine before as well, although they did not get to go trick or treating!

things that make you go awww

2009-10-03T04:56:00.000-07:00

Pandas are ridiculously cute.. sooo cuddly and adorable. Looking at anymore of these panda pics would make me want to hug my laptop! Pandas are definitely one of the most adorable creatures that mother nature has given us but it saddens me to know that they are close to extinction and to make matters worst the big earthquake which hit China last year destroyed the panda breeding center and wild panda reserves further devastating the panda population, this just breaks my heart… its now estimated that only 1000 pandas are left with around 200 in captivity..

I would absolutely love to have a chance to visit the panda sanctuary in China where you can pay to hug a baby panda http://www.kepu.net.cn/english/giantpanda/index.html

might be in my itinerary for the upcoming HK trip..hopefully..

my favourite panda sneezing video

This demonstration in Paris, featuring 1600 paper mache pandas, was staged by the WWF to demonstrate the need to protect the 1600 real pandas and other endangered species last yr

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things
they think are important. This is because they're chasing the
wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to
devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your
community around you, and devote yourself to creating
something that gives you purpose and meaning."
Tuesdays with Morrie

If we want our lives to be different, all we have to do is make different choices. Most of us continue to make the same choices out of habit, comfort, fear or laziness and then wonder why we don't get different results.

2009-08-08T03:16:00.001-07:00

Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe have been best buddies for two years now. They met at a South Carolina santuary and connected right away. The two play, swim and cuddle, celebrating life and friendship on a daily basis.

Suryia takes Roscoe for walks and even feeds him some of his monkey biscuits - what a cute pair

time for some blogging

wow 4 yrs since my last post - took me a while to remember how to log on to this site again
ive been spending way too much time working and things are always busier than ever it seems...
need more fun times and time for forgotten things, need to try and make some time to enjoy the rest of the summer - another heat wave would be nice

.a. moment.

a moment too long
a moment too fun
a moment too strong
moment's that we miss too much to tell
a moment's heart break
a moment's mistake
a moment that wants
a moment that aches
those moment's never felt so alive
please give me those moment's again

Good Charlotte

Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground

im a huge dog lover~ these furry, four legged pals are always around to keep me company. they enrich our lives, gives us unconditional love and constantly remind us of the important things in life.

i believe that pets can touch a special place in our hearts where not even our closest human companions are allowed to venture. Maybe its cuz we know that our animals can be trusted no matter what and we’ll open ourselves up to them exposing the vulnerable, opening up innocent corners of our souls that are ordinarilly buried deep behind protective walls.

i think sometimes you can measure the luv you have for a pet by the number of pet names you’ve given them too, i got a ton of them for my 3 furry friends ~ theres 'Gizmo' (mommy dog) shes the feistiest, Rusty (the dad) the gentle one and then theres 'Pebos' (the baby) shes the weird one sorta like the outcast its nutz how much i luv these little guys.

.my furry friends.
