Gifts For My Beloved Pet Happy!

  This week I have splurged a lot again for my beloved poodle, named Happie (Happy). Yesterday she turned 8 months old. My order from an online shop arrived this week. Over-all I spent around P4,000.00 plus for all her dog accessories and stuffs. The dog stroller is priced at around P3,500.00, and another thousand plus for her accessories which are poop bags, toothbrush, clicker, nail file and nail cutter for small dogs, and all-in food and water container.
 Yesterday, was a special day because I especially had a silver necklace made to be worn by me, with Happie's photo engraved on it. I actually had been planning this since last year but I have no time to do it. I also bought a special toothpaste for Happie. Yes, you cannot use a human toothpaste for dogs. Not all food that we eat or products that we use are safe for our pets. Chocolates, grapes, salty food, preserved food like ham, and cured meats are not advisable to give to our pets. Because it can harm them.

Before, I was really angry with my mom because she gave a pork bone, and rice with soy sauce to Happie. I already told her to never give a bone to dogs since it can injure them. Why did I become angry. You should know, I never let Happie eat just anything. Every night I am the one who prepares her food, mixture of rice, pellets, and alternating with chicken liver or carrots. I also give her multivatimins everyday. Some of you might say she is just a dog. But you don't know how we pet owners feel. For us, our dog is our family. I consider Happie as my own even if I did not bore her. She is God's gift to me. For she taught me how to be patient, and caring. She also has shown me unconditional love.

Love Is (Book 1 and 2) by Puuung

  Yesterday, I got my copy of Puuung's 'Love is' illustrated book. I bought these books because it was featured in one of the best Kdrama that I have seen, W Two Worlds. I also like to have Puuung's creation. So even if this book is a bit expensive. I still ordered it. It is not available here in my country so I ordered it online.

Puuung is a popular illustrator in Grafolio, an online website that features comics illustrators in South Korea. I came to know Puuung 3 years ago. I got attracted to her drawings because I like her style in drawing characters. It is so postcard like.

Another thing that I like about Puuung's creation is that it is based on real life situations and happenings. I also like the message that her drawings convey. You don't need to spend a lot in order to show your concern, care, and love for another person. You can show your love by showing acts of love and kindness to him or her. Puuung has a facebook page and YouTube channel. To all comics and book lovers. I recommend the nice illustration book.

Books for Dog Owners and Dog Lovers

I recently got the books that I ordered online from my trusty local bookstore, National Bookstore. Since, I am very much interested in the canine family, particularly of the dog family. I am a new owner of a very cute, charming female poodle, named Happy. You can read about her in my previous blog post.

One of my favorite family movie about dogs is 'A Dog's Purpose.' It is based on the written work of W. Bruce Cameron. I have seen the movie twice, and yes! I cried tons again. This is a touching movie about a dog's love for his human master. Among the books that I ordered, it includes the Boxed Set of W. Bruce Cameron works, A Dog's Purpose, and A Dog's Journey. A Dog's Purpose was a 52 week New York Times bestseller. According to amazon.com, A Dog's Purpose is not only emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's eye commentary on human relationships and the undreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. I really like to believe that when I and my beloved pet will leave this earth someday, we will meet, and be united again in the afterlife. After all dogs are one of God's amazing creation too! Also, in the bible there are creatures, and beasts that are mentioned. This is one good fiction book for dog lovers. Some facts about the author from Wikipedia, W. Bruce Cameron is an American author, columnist, and humorist. He wrote weekly columns for around 50 newspapers in the U.S. and Canada.

Next book that I ordered is about The Love That Dog Training Program book. My poodle pup is still not trained but she knows how to obey some commands, like when I say "kiss, kiss!" She will lick my feet, and when I say "Himas, himas!" (Rub, rub), she will lie on her back, and let me belly rub her. She always like belly rubs! I think every dog does! The author of this book, Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz was also the trainor of some prominent people's dogs in the U.S. Among them are Senator Ted Kennedy, and the Obama family.

The last book that I bought is entitled, The Genius of Dogs, by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods. I wanted to know what's going on the mind of a dog, that's why I bought this book. This is another New York Times bestseller. According to amazon.com, it offers mesmerizing insights into the thoughts and lives of our smartest and most beloved pets.

Another addition to these books of mine. Are these two books, Finding Gobi, and Dog Medicine. These are true to life stories, of dogs and human relationship. The Dog Medicine is about the story of Julie Barton and how her dog Bunker saved her from depression. Check out her reply to my message! Finding Gobi, is about a runner, and how he crossed paths with a dog on a desert in one of his marathons. These are not available locally.

So these are just some of the books that I can recommend for dog owners, and dog lovers out there. Happy reading!

W-Two Worlds Korean Drama

  I have a lot of favorite Korean tv dramas but they are all from the past. I enjoyed The Successful Story of Bright Girl starring Jang Nara, Winter Sonata starring Choi Ji Woo and Bae Yong Jun, Save the Last Dance For Me, Love Truly starring Eugene of S.E.S, Kim Sam Soon, Full House, Jang Geum, and the latest Kdrama that I have seen which I really liked was What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, and now I have recently finished W-Two Worlds starring Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo. I have seen a few dramas of Lee Jong Suk, I Can Hear Your Voice is a good fantasy drama too!

The story of W-Two Worlds is about the creator of the popular W comics, and his surgeon daughter who was able to travel to the webtoon and meet Kang Chul the main character of W. I really liked the story because I can relate. I am a fan of cartoons/animation and manga/comics. So that is why I really enjoyed watching this drama. I also cried again in some scenes while watching this. This drama has all the elements  to really pull you into it. It has Romance, Suspense/Thriller, Comedy, and Drama. This drama was aired on 2016. I am kinda late in watching this so I also did not get the chance to buy the merchandise. I badly wanted the Manhwa (comics) but it is only available if you pre-ordered the box set, and that includes the W #34 manhwa as seen on the Kdrama.

As with the other Kdramas which has a lot of plush stuffed toys like the popular drama, Goblin. W, has a few merchandise items too. I was only able to buy the book that was read by the main couple, it is an illustrated book by Puuung, entitled Love Is. I Also ordered the wedding ring worn by the female lead Oh Yeon Joo. I have no bf, I am still waiting for my very own Kang Chul! ha!ha!ha! So if you have not seen this Kdrama, I strongly suggest, you must! Korean drama is still the number one worldwide because they are not afraid of expermenting, and they know that dramas must not be too lengthy, unlike some of our local Filipino soap operas. Add to that is the very touching soundtrack. My favorite song from the W album is Without You, and that what makes Korean tv and drama series truly world class.
