Cats in the House

By | Animals and Pets | 3 Comments

Our house seems to have a lot of cats roaming around……and giving birth too 🙂  I was in the basement and I peeped through the window and saw a cat with her babies.  We have a pocket area in the basement which is actually a nice home for them which is why maybe she stayed here.  She gave me that scary look since maybe she thought I was going to harm them.  I looked again the next day and they wre gone.  I am imagining she had to carry them up this wall one by one to bring them out

I came home one day and saw again another cat – a white one- posing in the front door – I thought it was a nice shot- I took it right away hoping to catch the shot before it runs away

True enough it moved and I was still able to take another shot 🙂

Another day, another cat 🙂 They are actually nice props in our home, part of the decor 🙂

Sunburst Cebu

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

And the spoiling continues!!  Allan and Margie took us to lunch on the day we were leaving!!  We went to Sunburst to grant Javier’s wish to try this since we all told him about it!  Allan took us to this branch which he said is the cleanest since his cousin owns it and he knows his cousin is very “OC” about cleanliness and sanitation!
