Treasure Jar

I edited this to make it look like the doors or the house itself was photographed a few decades ago.

It sure makes one reminisce about the times when our great grandparents were still alive.

This is a perfect setting for a big polished car to come and and stop to collect a lovely lady all dressed up to go a ball while her dad (who loves the best maduro cigars) look on with worry that his little girl is growing up too fast.

I think I’d like to live in this kind of generation, possibly 30’s to the 50’s where dressing up is a big thing.

I just don’t know if I can survive without my smartphone though, 😀

I used to do a lot of crafts back when blogging and other online activities were accessible and affordable.

Imagine my surprise when I found these two papier tole crafts I did when the need to clean up the closet came up. Whoop!

Of course the next thing to do would be to look for my tools. Sadly, I can’t remember where I placed these and I am just not in the mood to look for these in the rubble of junk in our library.

Am thinking if a Martor USA utility knife will be ok to use with the cutting of the patterns should I decide to take up doing 3D paper crafts again.

During the Christmas season, I enjoyed watching lights show than fireworks display. I am not sure though if this comes with age, lol. Or maybe because I am more concerned with the effects of fireworks in the environment that have me pick another option.

Last Christmas season’s Light Show at TriNoma was a hit with the kids, We even had to delay eating our dinner just so the kids can watch again. I’m sure others  won’t mind hauling big, bulky and nor necessarily cheap musical instruments to and fro the area if they were asked to play live music.

I love the Christmas tree at my MIL’s home. The photo here does not do justice to how it looks so nice. Sitting on the sofa and cushions on the floor, what we need is a fireplace to make the room more Christmas-y than it already is.

At home, we didn’t do an elaborate Christmas tree decoration. In fact, it was the youngest child who did the tree so ours was without lights. I was not much into the swing of things about Christmas last month because of something that happened.

Last week, we went to the National Geographic Channel (NGC) Doggy Day Camp.

To say the children were happy is a bit of an understatement. They had fun gushing, petting (some that they know won’t bite) and taking photos of cute, big, hairy, little, and not so hairy dogs.

The National Geographic Channel’s Doggy Day Camp had these furry friends enjoy different activities such as grooming services and massages from Furrr-pect Grooming, pedigree treats in a kibble buffet set-up by Treats Cafe and playing with other dogs at the Wilderness Pupplay.

Their humans meanwhile learned new tricks and tips from Cesar Millan, a dog behavior expert during the screening of the new season of Dog Whisperer. Dog Whisperer airs every 10 pm Wednesday at the NGC.

Born to be Wild host Ferdz Recio talked about proper nutrition while Pawsitive Education resident vet Jon Uy discussed behavioral issues of dogs. May Angela Feliz of Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) discussed about the responsibility of pet ownership. GMA7’s Aso ni San Roque’s dog named Princess was present, along with the cast of the show.

The Doggy Day Camp also had a parade and a mini agility race where Urban Sports K9. Ten of the best submitted heroic dog feats were also featured in an exhibit.

Here are a few photos we took of the dogs in the Doggy Day Camp:

The National Geographic Channel‘s advocacy is to promote the importance of pet ownership responsibility.
