Loyalty is not something we beg for nor simply ask. Loyalty is given to us by our spouses, our family, our kids, our friends, our employees, just basically all the people around us that we are connected to either by blood, by relationships, by friendship or by work. Unfortunately not all will practice the true meaning of loyalty. What is important is to know where you stand, to know the people you can only trust and sometimes it will not be the people you expect, not even close family members. The good thing about that is you are living in reality and not within the boundaries of your ideals. It is better to accept and to be aware of how deceitful and conniving people around you could be. It excludes no one. Husbands and wives cheats on their partners, your family , of all people would only be good to you when they need you, but stabs you along with the other people that stabbed you and still stabbing you, your friends betrays your trust for unexplained principles they said they have. So like how the song goes, “Honesty is such a lonely word”, it also applies to loyalty. “Loyalty is such a lonely word”, hence they say, honesty and loyalty. They go hand in hand. In the end, the best thing about loyalty and its consequences is the fact that there are other people in your life. They give you loyalty much to your expectations. They may be a handful, but I tell you, that’s all you need.
Lesson learned: you cannot stop people in becoming the kind of person they want to be, but you can always choose either to be one of them or not. I choose not!
We paid a visit to the vet the other day for Popoy’s 3 year rabies shot, annual physical and medical exams. Like always, Popoy was cleared from all the tests, except for the mild ear infection which the vet said is very common to dogs. When it came to the question, what do we feed our dog? We were very honest to say, we fed him a variety of dog food. Not only sticking to one kind, instead we change it every month. I also mention feeding him people food at times. Much to my surprise, the vet agreed to me that it was not at all a bad idea. It is much better coz it’s healthier and less artificial than what dog foods are really made of especially those with flavors. So I came to this conclusion that dog food was just made coz feeding our pets people food would be too expensive. A substitute needs to developed so all of us can afford to feed their hunger. The trick is to not overfeed them with people food and just like us, we have to give the ones with nutritional value like what we will do for ourselves; less of the fats, more of the fiber and moderation on the meat. Who would not be healthy with a balanced meal? FYI too, Popoy is a big dog, not because he is overweight, but because the pure breed dictates it, not because he is overfed, but because he is well fed. It will be too funny and too scary to see a 16th month old golden retriever the size of 6 month. Now that’s the one that’s alarming!!!!
So how do I begin my very first blog? What should i write to get my reader’s attention? Not much I guess, coz by now you are probably reading the third sentence i wrote and finding it in you that you are interested what the next paragraph would be all about. Ha!
I think a brief introduction would be the best thing to do. I wanna believe that the readers would like to know me. Below you will find a list of stuff about me, what I hate, what I love, who I am, a few things I believe to live by, and my hopes and dreams.
I want to do what most people would hate to do – gain weight!
I am a great mom and my dog can attest to that
I love to write, but I always find it hard to start – don’t we all?
I believe that you can leave me inside a grocery or a craft store for a day and it wouldn’t be enought still – weirdness
I love my husband and I love our dog, no doubt about the dog! – Bwahaha!
I like taking pictures and I’m gonna be good at it!
I used to hate baking, but now I am selling my homemade cheesecake to my coworkers
I enjoy the beach, but I do not know how to swim; I just appreciate the scenery.
I think that being weird is another form of being original
and being stupid is being stupid (no excuse for that)
I believe that the words ” I love you ” can never be overused contrary to what others believed that saying it too often makes it lose its meaning.
I could go on and on and make the list endless, but i will save the rest for the other days.
Thank you to my loving husband, RJ Malacas for setting this up for me. I love u baby!!!
