Really want one.

So the last post was about wanting a dog.

Last week, on the same day, guess what I got - two patients who brought their dogs.




Now i really want one!!

My Dog

I have seriously been considering getting a dog but i don't think i can handle such big responsibility. I have gone as far as downloading an application form for a dog adoption. When people ask me what kind of dog i wanted, i say i want a dog that doesn't bark when unnecessary, doesn't poop or pee in my house, doesn't chew on my furniture, doesn't shed, and doesn't smell. I was told to get a stuffed toy.

But i have been practising with my friends' children and i don't know if i can be with them the whole day really.

Anyway, got this in my mailbox a few weeks ago.

I think it's a sign.
I wonder.

Grown

The last time i saw her she couldn't stand up yet. I think i sent her to the hospital then. Most charming baby I ever took care of. She would be smiling despite having difficulty breathing.

Now she's running around the office and i can't catch her.

Ah, my babies are growing. *sigh*

BP

Was it last year when the crackdown on illegal aliens in AZ was started? It was in the news for months.

In the clinic I work in, i have to pass by the a border patrol check point every single day. I have to roll down my windows, produce my passport, and answer a lot of ridiculous questions. Questions sometimes so dumb that I want to just tell them that I'm a US citizen so they'd leave me alone.

BP: Where did you come from?
Me: *smiling* Yuma. (there's only one road here, did you really have to ask?)

***

BP: Is this a rental car?
Me: *smiling* No. (ran out of questions?)

***
BP: May I see your passport?
Me: Sure. ( I hand over my passport and he looks at it, can't seem to find what he's looking for, and I know he doesn't know what he's looking for / looking at...takes about 3 minutes scanning that little piece of booklet...then realizes that he doesn't know what he's really looking for / looking at...looks at the stalled cars behind....looks at me sipping my coffee in my car....doesn't know what to do....and waves me over)
BP: OK, have a good day!
Me: Thanks. (and I take my time, take one slow sip, put my cup back onto the cup holder, roll up my window, smile, and drive slow.)

***
BP: US Citizen?
Me: No. ( i hand my passport)
BP: (looks at it, can't seem to understand what he's looking at, realizes a line is forming...) Please pull over to secondary.
Me: Why?
BP: Just pull over to secondary (secondary is where they ask people to wait, sometimes step out of the car, a lot of times strip the car if their dog smells something)
BP: Just do it.
Me: Why? I pass by here everyday, you still don't know what you're looking for?
BP: Just go to secondary, sir!
Me: OK. (me pulls over to secondary, open my window, sees BP walking towards me)
BP: Here's your passport sir, have a nice day.
Me: (have a nice day my ass.)

***
BP: where do you work?
Me: At the ********* (and if you actually read what you're holding you would know, and don't give me the excuse that you're just testing me)

***
BP: US Citizen?
Me: No (i'm the doctor that you consulted for a nasty rash on your groin the other day. btw, how is it? passed it on to your wife yet?)

***
BP: US Citizen?
Me: No (and i'm the same person you stopped yesterday)

***
Me: (driving my honda civic)
BP: Stop. US Citizen?
Me: No. (i'm asian. in a civic)

***
Me: (driving my friend's BMW SUV)
BP: Have a good day!

***
Me and Friend: (driving in a Hummer)
BP: Have a good day!

***
Me: (back in my civic)
BP: US Citizen? Passport?

***
BP: Citizenship?
Me: Filipino.
BP: Pacquiao! Have a good day!
Me: (eing?)

***
BP: Citizenship?
Me: Filipino
BP: Anow eng iyowng nasyownelided? Tema be?
Me: Teme ke!
BP: so when is Pacquiao gonna fight Mayweather?
Me: I don't know *small talk?*. Hey, i'm late.
BP: Good day!

lasing lang.

Facebook Updates

Since my updates for the last 10 months were all on facebook, I have decided to take screencaps of my shoutouts here in my blog for posterity.

Starting Again

October. hmm. 10 months ago was the last time i blogged. That was about the time i also went active on Facebook.

Like many others, i think, Facebook killed my blog.

But I miss writing. Sometimes phrases on Facebook just don't tell the whole story like it is. A few words just don't kick it.

I also tried tweeting. but i only got as far as registering and downloading the tweeter app on to my macbook. Part of me is getting lazy to learn this app. After a few posts, i stopped.

I am writing in very short sentences, i noticed. I guess this is what 'shootouts' has done to me. But I will try again.

So, it is 12.43AM, August 8, 2011, and today i RESURRECT!
