Thank you Claudia Wilson-Tambunting, Governor and Chairman of Barangay Forbes Park ( Environment committee ), for inviting me to the Forbes Furry Fiesta!  I enjoyed so much!!

It was nice to see the villagers with their pets

All the pets were looking their best 🙂  All groomed and dressed up

 

Booths who were selling pet products

Free merienda from the food booths

The highlight of the even was Kim Atienza sharing with us all his exotic pets!!  

Everyone was crowding over the table and all the kids were seriously watching and with full attention.  They were not even scared to go close to the reptiles and even held them.  My Daddy would have enjoyed this!  I told him next time to bring his pets! 🙂

A donation was made to the foundation of Kim – The Philippine Eagle Foundation and CARA – the foundation that helps Forbes Park and Dasma with stray cats

The last part was the pet contest

 

The judges – Tita Cindy Velez, Tita Marit Yuchengco and Lisa Periquet

Happy Birthday Devon Lucas!!

Previous entry:  Jewish Baptism of Devon July 3, 2012

Such a good boy!  He had no fuss and was just so well behaved.  Marco told me that he has travelled with them to so many places already in his one year of life because he is such an easy baby to take care of

 What an amazing Safari adventure!!! Barbie Pardo did such a great job transforming Acqua!  Barbie said that the venue itself was already beautiful to begin with so it was just a matter of dressing it up to theme

A National Geographic Moment at Amanpulo

By | Animals and Pets, Travel | 2 Comments

I am always looking for a National Geographic Moment since it’s quite rare to capture one. The last one was in 2008 in Bohol 

Previous entry:  A National Geographic Moment January 6, 2008 

While walking the perimeter of the island, I could see from afar little things crawling on the edge of the beach.  It’s a good thing I had zoom lens to see what they were – because they were quite sensitive, as we move closer to them- they move too.  This is dedicated again to my Dad and it’s his birthday today!  I am sure my Daddy would like to see these moments too after all it’s where I get my love for animals and nature

national-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-5.JPGnational-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-2.JPG

Crabs!  Not the small transluscent ones but quite big.  They don’t look too big in my photo because I could not go to near or else they will disappear or move away. I was very careful

Zooming in some more 

national-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-9.JPGnational-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-10.JPG

They are moving away as we go closer – some went up towards the greens

national-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-11.JPGnational-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-12.JPGnational-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-13.JPGnational-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-14.JPG

here they are going higher up opposite the water 

national-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-15.JPGnational-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-16.JPG

the small ones are also there  

 national-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-17.JPG

The others hid already which explains the big holes 

 national-geographic-moment-at-amanpulo-18.JPG

As we go towards the tip of the island they are moving away further

Around the island there are also some avian species.  The resort gives you postcards which you can collect

I spotted a few around the resort but cannot identify

Kitten in the House

By | Animals and Pets, Today's Quote | One Comment

One day we found a kitten in our front porch – we really have a lot of cats in the house

previous entry: Cats in The House August 25, 2012 

We were worried it would be ran over by the car so we put it in the small garden patch in front.  When we got back from dinner, I saw again the kitten and it followed us up our stairs.  I immediately asked for milk to give the kitten and true enough it was hungry. ( I am calling it ” It” because I do not know the sex of the kitten) 

kitten-01.jpg

It was so small it could not really reach the cup so the guard tilted it – I told the guard to put it beside him in the garage and to feed the kitten 

kitten-04.jpg

For a few days, the kitten would play with Romeo our dog and follow the guard around the house, then one day – the kitten just left – just like Richard Parker from Life of Pi 🙂  I remembered our kitten who we took care of and one day just left
