A Slice of My Alma Mater: Assumption Tarts

Christmas is fast approaching, and recently my family has been receiving a lot of presents! I love Christmas because it's the time of the year when everyone accepts that we're all going to pig out until we're stuffed silly! This year, I got a little nostalgic because our family received a can of Assumption Tarts.

GIF Party: Ayala Triangle Gardens!

Are you feeling the Christmas spirit? I definitely am! :) The other night, I dragged my family to watch the light and sounds show of the Ayala Triangle Gardens.

Thanksgiving Dinner 2012

My birthday this year was on Thanksgiving, so my friend Teeffany asked her mommy to move her family's dinner to a week before the actual day! Isn't that so sweet of her? :)

:(

I think I did something very wrong, I scheduled my blog posts to go on while I was away! Anyway I'm so sorry, but I went on an adventure with my girlfriends to Dumaguete and Siquijor over the weekend.

View on my plane ride from Manila to Dumaguete. Beautiful! The trip itself was definitely something different and fun, but next time I think my best friend and I, the two planners need to research more on where we're going. We can't depend on the tour agency only! Haha. -_-

A very sleepy me on the plane ride, just before we landed. It was 7am! Ugh.

'Til the next post!

Pierre's 8th birthday

Last October 11 was my sister's dog, Pierre's birthday and we decided to throw a party for him!

RIP, My Koosh

A huge part of my stressful week was that I lost my hedgehog to Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome last October 12, 2012. :( 

Hedgie House

Hello again, everybody!

Say hello to my pet hedgehog, Koosh! :D

Koosh is an African Pygmy hedgehog. There are two kinds of hedgehogs, the African Pygmy hedgehog and the European Hedgehogs. African Pygmy hedgehogs are the ones that are allowed to be kept as pets and only grow to be about 6 inches long, whereas the European hedgehogs can grow to be as big as a jackfruit!

Ever since I saw my first hedgehog when I was 16, I really, really wanted one. They're so cute and very low maintenance. I researched on them for 3 years until I finally got my own! I knew everything about hedgehogs, from what they eat to how to give them baths, and their housing requirements even before I had one! Can you say addict? Haha :)

Hedgehogs do not bite nor do they make sounds. Their defense mechanism is to roll into a ball and/or puff out their quills to scare away unwanted creatures. Aside from the hedgehog being a low-maintenance and quiet pet, they're also so super cute! Haha. :) On holding them, their quills are pretty sharp, but when relaxed, they're laid down in rows so it doesn't hurt at all to pet them. :)

My sister and I were shopping at Book Sale when I chanced upon this! I really thought that it was a book about hedgehogs, but grrrr it's a self-help book on how to become a successful businessperson. HAHA We were on our way out already when I just found this and dropped it at the cashier. I don't have a single book about keeping a hedgehog as a pet, so it would be nice to own one. :)

Koosh is also very photogenic. Look at how he posed with me! Sorry for the icky face, I was about to sleep already and decided to take photos with him. Haha! Hedgehogs are nocturnal by the way, which makes it the perfect pet for a busy person who works during the day. :)

'til next time! Watch out for my next leading man in the family :D Clue: he has the same nose as my Koosh. Hehe :)
