Vines on the wall

What a wonderful scene to see vines stuck to a sturdy wall. For me, they seem like husband and wife. One should be sturdy enough to handle the family and willing to be there for the wife and the kids all the time. A wall serves to protect what's inside. Then, like a wife, vines need a sturdy wall to hold on to.

Failaka Island

My family and I went to a day tour in Failaka Island last week. It is a small island 20 km off the coast of mainland Kuwait. This island was destroyed and depopulated during the Iraqi invasion in 1991. So the pictures you'll see here are some houses and government buildings with bullet holes.

It's almost been a year....

Last year, my family flew from Kuwait to Philippines to have 6-weeks vacation. My mom, brother and aunt from Reno, Nevada went to the Philippines at the same time, so that we can have a reunion with my brother and cousins who still lives there. At the end of our vacation, my sister-in-law invited us to her parents' house in Laguna. Here, I was able to take some pictures that will keep reminding me of why I love the Philippines.

My latest abstract painting

I just want to share with you my latest abstract painting.

Me and Spidey

I just want to share my photo, taken last year when my hubby and I attended the Toy Conference at Megamall, in the Philippines. I really enjoyed the event, bought some knick-knacks and toys for my collection. If I've known about the event earlier, I could've prepared and joined the cosplay. I love dressing up!!!

not ready for a pet dog yet....

I heard a barking dog the other night at around 9:30pm. The next day, while my hubby and I are drinking coffee and smoking at the hallway of our apartment building, we heard the barking of the dog again. My daughter and I went down at 6:30am (as usual) to wait for her school bus. My neighbor, who's waiting for her bus saw the puppy dog running around the parking lot. She said, "get the dog, get the dog!" I told her that I can't run on the parking lot without my ID (can't be walking around Kuwait without your civil ID with you). So she took it and gave it to me. The pup looks adorable....I just don't know what breed. Too bad, my hubby didn't want to keep the pup in our house. He said it'll stink up the house and might pee on the carpet. Plus, the pup looks like she's gonna be a big dog, so we can't keep her in the house. So my neighbor had to give the pup to her other friend. At least, this puppy has a home now.

cough and smoking

February....weather is nice right now in Kuwait. And I am just getting over with my cough and I'm back to smoking again. I tried to quit smoking a couple of times but I failed. I tried to make myself busy so I won't have time to smoke, but as soon as I drink a cup of coffee, I feel like it's not complete without cigarettes. I have this clay pot right outside my door so I wouldn't stink up the house when I smoke. And everytime I empty it, I always shake my head...."boy, I filled up the pot again!"
