Cucumber Love

I think I have the only dog in creation that loves cucumbers. He begged for 30 minutes (staring at me the whole time), then gave up and went to his bed. I took one bite, and up popped a head with a ball of fur on his nose. Now he's trying to figure out how to steal the rest.

Happy birthday, Gramps!

Today was my Grandfather's birthday. He's been gone a long time, but still missed. Happy birthday, Gramps!

A Lovely Boring Day

Enjoying a day of nothing but TV, internet, good homemade food, and doggie cuddles. Would be better sans rain.

Hayes-y's back!

I love having my baby with me again! I missed him so much! He won't let me out of his sight, but thinks he's being inconspicuous... Like when I went into the bathroom, I saw him inch into the hallway, look at me, then quickly turn and stare in the opposite direction, like "maybe she won't notice"... My baby. ♥♥♥

Best. Conversation. Ever.

I decided that I needed to get some food tonight since tomorrow starts the Chuseok holiday and many things will be closed for the nest three days. Part of my quest was for pizza. (Leftovers are wonderful for the lazy, like me.)

I've never called my pizza guy before. I usually just show up and wait for it. But I decided I would call and hopefully save myself some time, since I wasn't feeling very good. Here's our phone convo:

_________________________________________________________
Me: Ah, yeo-beo-sey-yo. Mee-gook-in imnida.

Him: Ah, yeh, yeh, yeo-beo-sey-yo. Potato pee-juh?

Me: Ney, doo-gey, ju-sey-yo.

Him: Ney, Kom-sam-ni-da.

(Hung up.)

__________________________________________________
English version:

Me: Hi, I'm the American.

Him: Oh, hello. Potato pizza?

Me: Two, please.

Him: Thank you.

(Hang up.)

___________________________________________________
I don't even have to identify myself more than "I'm the American." This means that either I'm one of the only non-Koreans who goes there, or I eat too much pizza.

Or both.

Easiest. Call. Ever. ♥

Home again, home again, jiggity-jog...

It was lovely to sleep in MY BED last night! I forgot how wonderful my comforter and pillows are...and water pressure in the shower...and no cockroaches or other critters in my room... Now, if only my stomach would feel better...

Hayes in September

I know I take entirely too many pictures of my dog. But he's my baby. Besides, who can resist when he's so photogenic? :)


He heard the sound of food, and his head shot up from out of nowhere.






I think he was glad that I came home from vacation.




I think he's comfy. ;)


I love this shot. Princess Hayes-y, sitting amongst the pillows and blankets. All he needs is someone to fan him and feed him grapes.


"I'm cute. What of it?"

Finally!

I had an amazingly productive, exhausting, problem-solving kind of day today. Walked to Sabang, jeepney to Puerto Galera (ATM was no go), ferry to Batangas, motor-trike to the bank (which worked! huzzah!), ferry to Sabang, thru a storm. My massage lady found me at the pier upon my return, now eating some delicious chicken. Finally, an exquisite day!

On a quest today~~

I'm hoping to solve some parts of this drama today. Leaving for Manila tomorrow, then home on Sunday, if I last that long...

I'm having a bad day.

ATM issues. Stomach issues. General Philippines issues. All the Filipinos keep saying "Next time will be better for you!" Next time? HAHAHAHAHA. If I think about coming here again, shoot me. It would be more pleasant.
