my mother is in love with Amidala. my father told me earlier as Amidala slept on my mother's lap that the little pup is going to be spoiled by us. he said the next thing we know, Amidala's already sleeping in the bedroom. the pup got a hair cut and it's so short! i almost didn't notice her because she looks more like a Chihuahua now rather than a Shih Tzu that she actually is! we brought her to the vet last night to get her groomed-- medicated bath, chopped her long nails, cleaned her ears, dewormed, vaccinated, toothbrushed, and hair cut. she looks so frail without her thick hair but it's for the better. she's going to grow more beautiful hair because it's no longer going to be tangled like it was before.

she looks more fragile now with her almost non-existent hair!



that's only the head. i'll show you the body next time because she kept on running around a few minutes ago. she's now still on my mother's lap sleeping. wahh! she almost looks like a tiny baby falling asleep on the lap of her mother.

on the less cheerful side, i feel awful about the Valentine's Day bombings. how cruel. i agree when a senator (was he?) commented that the past terrorism was a sign of weak police force. how sad! we've seen all these policemen scattered everywhere: eyeing people at the mall, bringing bomb-sniffing dogs to sniff on bags, but the terrorists were still able to carry out their hideous plan. we should feel safe in our country, in the city too. we should feel protected by the ones who should protect us (the government, the policemen, and those who are concerned). but instead what do we feel? agitation. it's not a good feeling. how will you be able to sleep soundly at night knowing that terrorists succeed in carrying out their plans?

lets pray for everyone who got hurt as well as for the 6 or 7 people who died.
