A Memorable Valentine’s Day
My hubby and I had the most memorable Valentine’s day in our 11 year marriage and it involved a lot of ‘fucking’ and ‘sweating’ - no, not that kind.
At 1 AM, the very first hour of February 14, one of the two week old pups decided to stick it’s head in the small squares that make up the cage (I don’t know WHY hubby decided to go with that design). It got stuck.
That’s when I started saying ‘fuck’ and ‘shit’ a lot because we couldn’t get it’s head out. The puppy was making choking sounds and crying. Hubby and I were quickly trying to come up with ideas on how to slip it’s head out but every time we tried, it gave an agonizing yelp of pain.
While I held the puppy, hubby ran to get some pliers and tried to cut the thick metal with it. Didn’t work. Next, I ran to get a hammer and use it to pry the opening of the adjacent square wider (maybe it would open up the square where the puppy’s head was stuck). That didn’t work either.
Finally, I got cooking oil from the kitchen, slathered the puppy’s head with it, and tried slipping the puppy’s head out again. By this time, the puppy was weak and didn’t struggle much. It’s head slipped out. Hubby and I laughed a little hysterically with relief. We checked if the puppy had any cuts - none. It had no problem with feeding either.
By this time, we were sweating like we just came out from the gym. We had thought we were going to witness the slow death of a puppy because of the new cage I now call the ‘puppy killer cage’. In the living room, we looked at each other and started laughing, joking we should’ve taken a picture.

Happy New Year
“Happy new,” was an offline greeting from John Doe. His message ended with:
“Take care and know you’re in my heart and one of my first 1 true loves…I miss you everyday doll”
Yes, I heard from John Doe near the end of January. And yes, he is still sweet on me.

Touched
The recent flood that took many lives reminded me again how fragile and finite life is. That hurts and grudges cannot compare to love and the joy of giving it. I know I had hurt John Doe when I defriended him on FB. After all, he had retaliated by blocking me. It seemed like such a waste of friendship.
There have been so many times in these past months where I wanted to wish him well, but I had refrained from doing so because, after all, I was teaching myself to let go. But death taught me that there is nothing more powerful than love, that wishing anyone well was not bad at all but good. So I sent John Doe a note on YM and wished him a great year ahead.
Today, I got on FB and guess what? He had unblocked me :D!
John Doe, you and I will always be friends. I just know it.

New Year’s Resolution
To be more organized and to reduce my size. Only two things. That can’t be too difficult…

Mistaken identity
I always mistake the rapper ‘Pitbull’ for ‘Bulldog’.

Call Center Angels
Today I got a call from one of those phone marketing agents who irritate the shit out of most of us. I’m glad I got the call though.
I had a pot of sweet potatoes boiling on the stove and as always, forgot about them. In fact, I was on the bed and half asleep when the cellphone rang and I stepped out of the room to get better coverage. After the call, I noticed a fizzling sound and realized my sweet potatoes were on the stove and out of water.
I thought about buying the insurance the agent was selling but thought that two life insurance policies was overkill. So instead, I texted the woman and thanked her for calling me up.

To travel is better than to arrive
Yesterday I was watching the movie ‘Step Up 3’ and heard the quote. It made me happy to think that I was finally taking driving lessons and buying my first vehicle.
I had been saving for so long so I could one day arrive at some place where I would finally settle down that I had forgotten what it was like to travel. I was missing the journey for the dream of ‘arriving’.
So, here I am, two more sessions, an exam, and a purchase away. I’ve been thinking of all the places I will drive to - take my son to school, drive myself to the gym, to the farm, the beach - share good times with my family. All the journeys, the possibilities, that I will put within my reach by opening a door, turning on the ignition, and driving off.

Retreats
Been super irritated lately and decided to look up spiritual retreats/meditation programs online. After about an hour or two of surfing, I somehow managed to find my way to ‘yoni massage’ pages.
Methinks I need sex.
