Have you seen the marvelous breadfish?

This is totally random, but I just can't get this song out of my head!

"Tell me, have you seen the marvelous breadfish,
swimming in the ocean waters?
Have you seen that marvelous breadfish?
It's like an inverse sandwich.
Ohhhh for Fishermen and Sharks"

It's so strange and funny that I can't stop watching!

In real life I've seen a different kind of breadfish.

It has a crisp outer shell and a creamy strawberry filling inside.

Yummy!

The tunnel

Thank you to my fellow cat freak, Grace for this lovely cat tunnel. Everyone at home was so excited to let the cats try it out but...

I think they are more interested in staying outside the tunnel! Nugget did try to go inside but I think we need a bigger tunnel for him. Aww. To make it more interesting I put catnip inside. Yes, catnip makes everything more fun!

Kumo loves it! He even rolls inside :)

Ooh, am I in heaven?

nom nom nom catnip :D

Tired.

This week has been really tough on meow. Lots of deadlines, demanding clients...

During these times I wish I could just hide. The weather is perfect for being lazy too! It would be really nice to just veg out infront of the TV with a bag of chips, dip and a warm purring cat (or 2 cats!)

When I have a few minutes to spare I look at cute cat pics :D Btw, this black cutie is named Kirby and he is my step dad's cat. Isn't he the fluffiest? I love you, Kirby! Shh, don't tell my boys I said that :D

The Cats at St. Paul's Church

St. Paul's church located on St. Paul's hill in Malacca, Malaysia was built in 1521. I forgot to count the steps going up, but I know it didn't take us long to reach the top. A statue of St. Francis Xavier (I originally thought it was of St. Paul!) sits in front of the church ruins.

Going up was quite exciting for me because there were so many cute cats around!

someone was hiding from the sun

hello there, little white cat!

I was still taking photos of the cats when the queen arrived. I'm calling her "the queen" because all of the kitties got up and started to follow her :D

I think she had food in those bags...

time for noms? I wish someday I can have that effect on cats too :D

Shanghai Kitties

I saw these cute cats while walking around in a quiet area in Shanghai, China.

And they were in a middle of a game too! The one with the red collar was guarding the door.

He went inside and was preventing the tri-colored cat from going in. She tried for a bit but gave up and went inside the store next door.

I think Mr. red collar noticed that tri-color kitty was gone so he went outside to look for her.

Now this time it was her turn to keep him outside!

It was the funniest and cutest thing I saw that day :)

Although I was a bit bothered that the store next to cats was selling SIOPAO!

Beautiful Batanes

I have always dreamt of going to Batanes. My dad had a lot of photos from his trips there in the early 80's and I have been curious ever since. So when Erman asked me where I wanted to go after our wedding the only place I had in mind was Batanes :)

Batanes is the northernmost province in the Philippines. Airfare is quite pricey (I even stalked the Seair website for weeks hoping for a seat sale) but it's definitely worth it. I kept looking out the window during the 1.45 hour plane ride. I was so excited when we could finally see the islands!

Seair's 32 seater Dormier plane lands in Basco airport in Batan Island, Batanes.

I think this is the cutest airport I've seen so far...

and the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in!

Our room was perfect! We had to transfer to another room on our 3rd day though because someone had already reserved our room in advance. This happened because I booked our trip late! Haha. But it was just okay because our second room was just as lovely.
