Cats!

My family and I spent the whole afternoon fawning over the cats at the All Breed Cat show last week.  The Cat Whisperer, Mieshelle Nagelschneider was there too but we did not get to listen to her talk since we had another event lined up that day... But it was totally fine because we really just wanted to see the cats :D

Here are some of the photos that i took.  Most cats looked grumpy!  I guess it is because so many people were observing them :D

Some kitties found refuge in their litter box... but most were sleeping

and the ones who were awake looked grumpy

and even grumpier :D

I also saw a hairless kitty!  I think this is my first time to see one up close.  She's so cute and fat ♥

There were a few sociable kitties too like this gray cutie

This super fluffy ragdoll and his owner

too cute!

This blue gray kitty behaved while the judge was holding him

and this one even played with a feather :D  Meow!  Hoping to attend another cat event soon.

20 Ways You Can Be The Best Friend Ever

“The best mirror is an old friend.” 

- George Herbert

How long have you been friends with your best buds?  I wish I kept i touch with my grade school buddies but it was a challenge especially since I was the only one who transferred to another school.  It would have been easier if we had mobile phones and e-mail back then :D  But when I think about how close my mother-in-law is to her childhood friends (That's over 50 years of great friendship!) I realize that the lack of modern communication is not an excuse... You really need to make an effort to keep those relationships alive.

Here are some of the things that I think will help us to be a good friend:

1. Be respectful 

2. Make plans to hang out... and make it really happen!  No flaking and no last minute excuses.
3. Listen
4. Be supportive

5. Be there when they need you

6. Do fun activities together - crafts, game night, cooking, sleepovers (the list is endless!)

making wire rings with my friend :D

7. Be loyal

8. Forgive - try not to to hold on to grudges

9. Be happy for each other - Celebrate happy occasions!

10. Explore and travel together.

11. Be honest with each other.

12. Take time to get to know their families and partners.

13. Remember birthdays and other significant events.

14. Be interested in what is happening in their lives.

15. Make them happy :D  Friend feeling sad?  Try to think of ways to help them beat the blues.

16. Accept them for who they are

17. Be prepared to help when they need you to

18. Guide each other to be better people

19. smile and laugh together

20. Keep updated and talk often - A real friend calls. "With GoUnli20, it’s now easy to call without a need for a prefix and it’s just P20 for unli calls, 15mb of mobile surfing, and 20 texts to all networks! Kaya if you need a friend, don’t call me, I’ll call you!"

Thank you ♥

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary today.

It's been quite an adventure!  Sure there has been some adjusting but all in all the past 3 years have been great.  I am very thankful for so many things. Thankful for love and respect, thankful for family and friends, thankful for relatively good health (yes, we are both overweight now but planning to do something about that soon >:p), thankful for our home (tiny but it is ours and we love it) and lastly thankful for cats ( we I LOVE CATS).

Looking forward to many more adventures :)  Happy Wednesday folks!

Hey, May!

May has been a pretty exciting month for meow!  Lots of cool events happened in the past couple of weeks.  Sharing the 4 memorable events and photos here :D

 1. We got to see the Tokidoki exhibit at the mall.

Tokidoki creator, Simone Legno was here!  Too bad I missed the meet and greet (it was on the same day as my nephew and niece's birthday party) but seeing the exhibit was good enough for meow.  

2. Next up was the Star Wars event at Resorts World where we got to meet R2d2 and the rest of the gang!

Happy to see members of the 501st Legion, fans and kids in costume!

3. Have you seen the show Resurrection?  Erman and I got to go to the Asia Launch where we got the chance to meet Omar Epps and Kurtwood Smith!  

4. And lastly, the BEST event for this month... going to the All-Breed Cat Show.  I won't post the photos of the cats here yet because the event deserves a separate post :D
