About

I love nature, my garden, my wonderful pets, food, cute things, coffee, shopping, and travel. I love to take photos too.

Meet my family…

hubby works as a seafarer and has been to most parts of the world.
my eldest is taking up hotel and restaurant management (see one of his creations here)
miss L is my daughter (see her works of art here)
my youngest is taking up aerospace engineering (see his works of art here)
Johnny, (a German Shepherd) guards my home and
Kristina (a Maltese) is my cute and playful lil doggie.
Lemon is my yellow-colored african lovebird, and
Lime is my green-colored african lovebird.
Star is my odd-eyed kittycat, one of her eyes is blue and the other one is gold.

p.s. 1.

Meet Tiger, i adopted him last October 31, 2012 from CARA. He’s an addition to my ever-growing family. He is very sweet and playful. I’m sure he’s happy to find his forever home with us. Just look at that handsome face

Tiger

Meet Tobi, a playful bundle of cuteness and his hobby is to run like crazy and chase the kitties.

I love your family picture and the description of each member. I grew up with 6 siblings. It was a fun and happy childhood. My Texan family is small, just me and my wife. Having a vacation this Summer in the Phil., made me realize all that I missed. God bless you and your beautiful family. Happy Easter.

Hi Starlight,

I noticed that you’ve followed My A to Z Blogging Challenge and wondered if you’re interested in taking on the challenge yourself: http://myatozchallenge.com/about-2/ I’m not trying to pressure you and am not about to start hassling you to do anything, don’t worry. I just wondered if you had any questions or wanted any help.

Anyway, if you’re interested in joining the challenge, we’d be happy to have you on board so just give me a shout if you’re not sure about anything.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy reading the posts that other bloggers are doing for their Personal A to Zs.

Happy blogging!

Julie (The one who set up the challenge in the first place)

    Hi Starlight,
    
    I’ve sent you an invitation so that you can upload your posts to My A to Z Challenge. And yes, you can jump around the alphabet at will

    I know, but that’s not the best way to share your post. If you add it as a new post, it will show on the home page, along with everyone else’s, and will be automatically shared to Facebook and twitter. It’s a little extra work but worth it.

    Oh, tell me about it.
    They wake the house up when they are hungry (which they are even if they eat). Also, my cats rarely eat meat. When they do, they go all *disperation mode* and we take pictures of them in commemoration to such rare event. XD

    do you have a photo of your cats.. goodie, i would love to see them.. oh btw, i’m surfing on your blog.. that’s so true, kittycat Tiger (my adopted kitty) is the one who is noisy and always wakes me up with his meows.. kitty Star’s meows just a bit when she wants to eat and she’s more of the staring-at-you-with-big-blue-and-golden-eyes type when hungry..
on January 7, 2013 at 9:25 pm | Reply Ieonaa

Ah, they aren’t all here.
I only have internet at my grandma’s house…which has the weird cats )
I only have a webcam and they don’t look that good in photos (happens to me too) but I will try to bring them in my room as I find them, snap a pic and send them off.
They are so so so wild and with a *don’t tuch me human, ya dirtying my fur* atittude* (frustrated sigh).
Imma go look for them now. And then come back to admire some of your amazing photos.

Hi Elizz,

I finally got the chance to visit your blog, so sorry it took so long. Your blog is beautiful!

The Beloved is now sort of based here but he used to (and is still open to) work offshore. Our kids are still young compared to yours. I haven’t looked around your blog yet but I take it you’re in Pinas?

I’ll be looking around now, take care and enjoy your weekend.

Regards,
Mary
