KK's Birthday

Now I know why my mom never held a birthday party for us when we were kids... because it's so dead tiring to host a party! I don't know how my aunt can do it every year for my cousins.. From now on I will erase my grudge over birthday parties that I never had... kekeke =)

The funny.. and weird part was when it's already 4PM and people were still there.. chit chatting and eating. I love having people around but leaving around 7:30 is unacceptable! haha! kidding!.. But they should have realize that we still need to clean up, eat, go to church tomorrow and go home (ontario to l.a. is no joke) We finished everything around 10:30 and got home around 12 a.m... It's tiring, true, but it was a lot of fun! My little cousin Karyn cracks me up!... she's such a tomboy!.. and Omy! Kathleen is not a kid no more! I can't believe it!





And of course me and Patty did the face painting. My dad kinda sell us out to my aunt =) I guess he's so proud with us eh?... we should do this as a business.. well.. we're kinda starting but we'll see how it goes. Err.. and We didn't expect it to be our "advertisement" if only we knew, we would have come prepared with flyers and business card and stuff =)) lol!...

And our birthday present to them are chubby bunnies! wah! I hope they take care of them =D.. I think it's the new "it" thing today...

RIP: Volker- Before he was a guard dog he was a family dog

My Auntie found Volker dead around 3pm yesterday July 08, 2009. Volker has been a part of my Aunt's family and so with us. I haven't have a chance to talk to them and share my grief with them, when I heard the news from my dad I couldn't grasp it easily, Volker is a strong dog, he's trained to be a guard and attack dog how could he die that fast?? "he never missed a meal", "he had a big field to play with".. that all came to my mind, but none of that were the reason why he died. He was highblood, it's generic my sister told me that Volker's father or brother also died because of highblood.

I regret so much because I didn't play with him like my brother plays with him, I always get tired running around and getting scratches, I was always scared with dogs, even with our dogs in Philippines, I only play with them when my brother gets mad with our dogs. But my mom, Patty and David were always close with dogs, that's why the get so attached with Volker, even though he got this scary look when you look at his outward appearance he never gets mad like little dogs do.

I'm just a little worried with my three little cousins who's like a flock of sheep with Volker, pushes my cousins with his head to gather them together while they're playing on the field. I remembered are first dog Bingo when he died, we were at the same age as my cousin when Bingo died and that made me think "How did they accept it?" they must have cried a lot. There's always gonna be a place for Volker not only in our hearts but also in my Aunt's place everywhere you look will remind you of Volker, we will always miss you Volker.
(This was the latest photo we have with Volker, my dad took this photos without our notice. It was very early and me and my sister decided to go outside to play with him before we leave my Aunt's place. Our face didn't came out good, but our time with Volker was priceless)
