DOGS, still are man's BFF


Me and my TUMMY
Me and my TUMMY

I used to have a dog.
She was given to us by my long-time
brother-in-law to-be :)
At first... I was reluctant to cuddle her
because it's my
first time to take care of a puppy.
She was a mixed breed poodle.
But in time, I learned to love
and respect this adorable canine.

She became my beloved acquaintance and I
always looked forward to going home and
taking her in my arms.
HUG and keep her just beside me.
 I even wrote a poem to honor her unconditional LOVE.


my very first beloved dog, tummy
Meet my first and last pet (for now)... TUMMY
HER name was TUMMY
"Her eyes seems to witness every turn of events in our lives.
She seems to be a silent shock absorber... knowing every detail that surrounds her.
That barking sound echoes in every corner of the house.
She has found a shelter within our hearts...
Sneaking around like a sheep rambling in the wilderness.
I became a lover of her kind.
Holding her gently and feeling her warmth give me some kind of security.
She somehow lightens up my everyday.
She fills up certain space that no rational being can.
A good fellow that preserves and maintains own uniqueness and identity.
A loyal friend in her own right."

Now only her memories linger in my mind.
She found her final destination without me by her side.
Heat stroke was the cause of her demise.
But I know that...
All dogs go to heaven.
It's been nineteen years since Tummy died.
I called her by that name because 
her belly was so big.
she loved to eat.
She used to be my focus of attention...
But now, I'm married with three wonderful kids.
My life has never been more meaningful...
Seeing them grow up to be good children and providing them 
their needs and wants
is my utmost priority.

I just want to share with you these photos
of dogs that are now part of 
our family...

    Haha Love the names Primitivo and Amparo! They speak 'authority.' Makes me remember my neighbor's rag-looking pets that are as cute as yours.

    Currently we have two mini pinscher and 1 lab. I hated dogs until they came but one dog really touched my heart, my dog Bruno, an askal. He was the smartest and affectionate dog I know, he died two months ago and I know I'll never love a dog as much as I love him.:(

    It always saddens me, losing a pet. And I have only taken cared of dogs all throughout my years. They are truly 'mans bestfriend' as they will never fail in comforting you and making you smile. :)

    Love this. We also have a toy poodle, 2 shih tzu, and three mini dachshunds. But I admit my favorite one is the poodle. Very sweet and very smart.

Lizette Turns 18 - The Opening Prayer

Image
Every milestone in life is a remarkable event... an occasion to celebrate and be grateful for. Nothing is worthier than appreciating God's blessings and praising Him everyday. Either in joy or sorrow, we close our eyes... kneel down to ask for guidance and utter our intentions. The most anticipated day has come. November 16, 2013 marked the 18th birthday of my daughter. As we shared a momentous night in her life, we offered a prayer to ask for the Holy Spirit to come upon us and bowed our heads in God's divine presence. Claire Dave Ellis The opening prayer was delivered by: Claire Dave Ellis Magos , younger cousin of our debutante, currently in 7 th  Grade at La Immaculada Concepcion School. Their closeness goes beyond being cousins because Lizette treats her like a baby sister. THE OPENING PRAYER "GOD of all creation, worthy of our praise, we are grateful for Your presence in this evening’s celebration of life. We thank You for this opportunity in

MyeDomain.info Is Now on Track

The last few days of February had been terrible due to my family's battle with contagious URTI (upper respiratory tract infection). We were all sick and the least that I can do ONLINE is to LIKE and SURF. When I felt a bit OK... I got the chance to update some of my online tasks and was able to successfully transfered my GoDaddy domain to my blogspot site, 8 March 2013, after having tried a number of times... It was a TRIAL and ERROR, because I have no idea about how it's done like the technicalities... fortunately, all my hard works paid off by the kind help of google of course.

Why Blogging?

Image
Photo Credit After almost 15 years of idyllic yet a little obnoxious stint in an office environment, I found myself in front of our computer most of the time because of my newly discovered world: the blogosphere . Well defined as the "world of blogs " or a collective whole of all the blogs in the Internet . I started blogging last May of this year and I am truly delighted with this experience. Firstly, writing is my passion though I considered myself not that professional like a novelist or lyricist, playwright or journalist. I just know how to write but I'm not any "master" of this academe. Secondly, through writing, I can convey what goes in my mind and put them in words. Thirdly, I can freely express my innermost feelings about what I see, what I hear, taste and even the most aromatic scent that can touch my sensitivity. Mye Domain will be turning six months this coming November and I am in fact very grateful for my family for being so suppor

Invading CATTLEYA RESORT

Every year,  Acierto Clan traditionally brings the whole family for an out-of-town summer escapade. We usually go to Pansol, Laguna and enjoy its hot springs but this year we preferred to go somewhere near like Antipolo. Because of our large number, we can only afford an overnight or two-day stay to any private resort.  We usually make the road trip on January to search for clean and spacious rooms that can accommodate the entire clan. Once the reservation was settled, we start the countdown This 2012, we invade the cold waters of  Cattleya Resort .  Came March 31, more than 60 of us headed for the hills of Antipolo, Rizal. Our meeting place was  Jollibee-Tikling Branch  to have our breakfast. We were the first customers of that morning.  While waiting for our orders, we took some photos. My generous cousin AIMEE who settled the resort's day-tour expense
