Chicka expecting.

It was only in May this year when Chicka joined the family... so tiny.. so fragile.. so vulnerable.. so dependent..

I could hold her in my palms...

and then 5 months later,

I can barely hold her with my whole arm! She's gotten so big already in just a few months.. no more cute kitten face anymore.. and worse, she's pregnant!!!




Sheesh.. When I brought her to the vet earlier this year, the doc told me I could bring her back next year in February to get her spayed. But he didn't tell me that cats could get pregnant starting 5 months old and above!!

But it was obvious signs, she didn't use to have that much appetite and I was already complaining why she doesn't eat as much and couldn't gain weight. Then it was just these few weeks that I realised she was always asking for food, and then her tummy swelled up I thought she was just getting fatter from eating so much. Then I realised her tits were pinkish and swelling, I got the feeling it wasn't just her appetite thats growing, its wats growing inside her already... sigh..

So its too late now.. Brought her to the vet yesterday for confirmation and ultrasound. Yupp, there's 2 sure heartbeats in her tummy now, fully developed and could come in about 2 weeks time..



My only concern now is where am gonna prepare for her delivery.. Am just worried she might bring the kittens out of the house and I can't help to care for the kittens. Was thinking about getting a cage to quarantine her in it for the next two weeks but how she gonna pee and take a crap??

So.. am just gonna prepare a lil secluded and dark spot for her in the house, hopefully she'll think like us humans and have the sense that its the spot for her..

So .. 2 weeks!! Lil Chickas coming.. I'm guessing they're gonna be orange in color cos I saw a yellow tomcat outside.. damn cat!

Day off again.. no wait, its a Leave this time .. hehe

So its a leave day for me today, and i didn't wanna waste the day like I did yesterday, so I forced myself to wake up early as much as I can, which earliest is still 1pm. Heh.

So managed to get out of the house and did all necessaries like get my hair washed and trimmed, get a short massage, get some needed groceries and bla bla bla.

Highlight of the day was going for dinner with lizette and co, at Mongkok DimSum and Noodle house.




I was definitely not impressed with the maintenance of the place, rotten seats and the place looked a bit dirty internally, but surprisingly the food was good, not bad at all. yum.

I was indulging into the food so forgot to take pics of the food, we ordered Asparagus, seafood rolls, lobster rolls, salt and pepper spicy ribs and Ma Cang (the sticky rice wrapped with i dunno what leaves). Sarraaaap!!

And next on my agenda was heading for desserts. And I was truly curious about the place called Eskimo Bob down the bay side of MOA, so I convinced everyone to satisfy my craving for ice cream and practically dragged everyone there from one end of MOA to another. Eeeeeeevil
papams...


But to my disappointment (well not entirely), was that the place called Eskimo Bob was actually the same thing as another place called Chocolate Spoon! The whole menu was the same shit! Oh well.. so nothing new about the Eskimo Bob that I was not so familiar with in Chocolate Spoon already...

Still though, despite being lied to about the name of the place, I was never lied to about the taste of ice cream.... yummy!!!!

Day off after 10 days straight!

Its really tiring on my body and mind when I need to work a straight 10 days without day off. So finally I'm free!! For 2 days only lah.. hehehehe

So went out on a shopping spree today, and check out my sunnies!



its hot stuff huh.. yuck... corny..

And the more girly side of me decided to spend on make up to paint my face on some days..



I didn't manage to do much though its my day off since am on the night shift, I was asleep most of the day off.. by the time I managed to get out of the house, most of the shops are about to close already.. sheesh...

Its Novermber! Another year older for mua... tsk..

Day Off 27 Oct

This is what I was up to yesterday..

I was "Bubble Girl".

for 10 minutes. for 50 pesos.

wakakakakakaka~~

Felt shy to go nuts with the balloon tho cos the other balloons were kids prolly age 5 and below.

I was definitely too old for this.

Wong Jiu Kai

I finally found the time to attempt making Wong Jiu Kai here in Manila.

Though we really couldn't find any home made "yellow wine" (Wong Jiu) even in China town, I guess the grocer guy just suggested the chinese alcohol to me cos there's a word that says "Yellow" on its label but it doesn't quite taste like the ones I use to have back home..

So here's a rough recipe,

lots of Ginger, as much as you like the taste of it. (I simply remove most of it anyway, I don't actually end up eating it)

Some chopped garlic

Some pieces of chicken

"Yellow Wine" (if you can find any at your area)

About a cup of water.

So first of, stir fry ginger, to get the spicy juice out. Then put in the chicken, stir fry together with garlic, and then add in some water to broil it.

Add in the yellow wine when the chicken is mostly cooked already, and if your yellow wine is already naturally sweet, then you won't need to add in brown sugar and improvise like I did.

A Bitch in the Living Room

uhuh.. THATS the bitch.

You wonder why is she the bitch? I wonder too!

All through my life, I am really blessed by having nice roommates. Lisa from Indo was a darling, Yasue from Japan was all sweetness. And... uh.. I think those are the only 2 roomies I had that had left a great impression on me.

However, I don't think I was blessed with many good HOUSEMATES. I used to live with a China guy who smoked so much around the house, he even leaves the cigarette butts behind the sofa!! And now I have to deal with a bitch that thinks the whole house belongs to her!

I mean we gotta practice courtesy right? Yea I won't make a ruckus and bang shit around the house in the middle of the night. But I think a volume of 10 out of the max of 40 is NOT THAT FUCKING LOUD!

The only reason it seemed loud was bcos we have such an empty space in the living room!!
LIVING ROOM is PUBLIC SPACE! Don't be criticizing me on how I frickin USE IT~~~!!!

I'm not one to fight with words especially with people in the office cos I might risk my job. So yea she gave me crap for that and bang the door on my face but I just had to let it go and turned down the volume.

And then this morning I find her using the living room and blasting her stupid Hongky dramas on her lappy! Huh!

So I went ahead and blasted my music on my lappy.. yippeee~~ ALMOST annoyed the fuck out of the bitch but no, she even tried to make her drama sound louder just to make a statement.

Well, fuck off.

Seafood Craving

I finally managed to satisfy that craving of mine for seafood..

So got my colleagues together and head to New Seaside and had a jolly good time!

Me with yummy Oysters baked with Cheese~~~


This got me allergies the next day but I guess its worth it for once in a blue moon.. ;-P


Gorging into those succulent steamed prawns!!!



Surely one cannot enjoy seafood without the company of their barkadas~


And time to head back, until next food escapade~
