Black and White
Meet our new border collie pup....a pedigree...
He won't be ready until the 20th when he will be 7-week old but already, I'm one excited mum!
Isn't he a cutie?

She Said The Darndest Thing
Ange: "Tito Jobert, why aren't you and Tita Cherry married?"
Jobert: "We are married! Your Tita Cherry is my wife."
Ange: "You're only married if you have a baby. But you have no baby so you're not married."
Me: "We're not ready to have a baby yet that's why."
Jobert: "Don't worry Ange, your tita Cherry and I will make a baby tonight, ok?"
Ange: "How will you make one?"
Angie's mom: "Angeline, stop asking those questions, please."
Jobert: Hmmm...
Angie's mom: "Tito Jobert, ssh!"
Jobert: "When you're a bit older I'll tell you everything, ok?"
Ange: "When I'm twenty?"
Me and Ange's mom chorused: "Yes!"
Jobert: "No!"
Ange's mom: "kaw tito Jobert, bad influence ka talaga."
We all burst out laughing.
Angeline looks confused. Poor sweetie :)

Subtle Serendipity (Jobert & Chez's Story)---a repost :)
"Hi! I like your nick...sounds so sweet. How are you Windswept?"
"Is that why you click on my name because it sounds so "sweet"?" I retorted.
"No, of course not. I found your nick intriguing. Maybe, so do you. Where are you from?"
"I won't tell you." I tapped the keys stubbornly. Questions like this scares me.
"Do you have a....c e l l p h o n e?" I typed quite hesitantly. Don't know what came over me to ask this to be honest.
"Course. If you want try sending me a message." He replied.
"Okay." Hmmm. I seemed a bit uneasy about this. Sending a text message to some stranger? That's just not me. But I did it in the end.
"So you're in Singapore?" He typed back.
How did he knew where I am from? The country code perhaps? I quipped.
"Can we be FRIENDS?" he typed the word friends in capital letters.
"As long as you won't express your feelings for me then why not?" I anxiously replied.
"Don't worry I won't express any feelings whatsoever or be too personal to you for that matter. I just want us to be friends."
"So I'm safe with you then?" I replied jokingly.
This time I felt so relieved. Expressing your feelings to a stranger over the internet on a large computer screen was just ridiculous. And we've only just been exchanging few words of nonsense for chrissakes! And besides, I'm not that kind of person who's easily persuaded by some sweet words from an internet-savvy stranger.
"Can we chat again Windswept?" He asked.
"Sure." I typed the word with a little smiley at the end.
"Don't worry you're safe with me." He also typed back with a little smiley at the end.
"So, tomorrow?" I tapped the keypads with excitement I felt a certain pulse skip.
"Yes. Tomorrow it is then". He typed back.
It was a fleeting moment. So fleeting that I still can't remember how our chat started and ended.
I went back into my apartment with a little anticipation.
Tomorrow...Tonight's certainly not the last.
I remembered that night after I said my evening prayer I slept with a smile on my face.

Eureka!
Her fave spot :)
Listening to Jobert's voice on the other line
We're inside a puzzle
Cool ride!
With her mom :)
Doin' her shopping at M&S
The goodies looked so real that she had to bit a piece of chicken off!
It's got milk too!
The book tower
Both being educated :)
Bookworm :)
Archimedes. He shouted Eureka! and takes a bath every hour proving that when immersed in water, a body does indeed displace an amount of water equal to it's mass. He looks good on his front view though :)
Face smothered with ice-cream :)
Ninong's girl. Train back home
Can't you tell? I'm broody ++++! :)
