Skittles is crazy in heat. Socky, (even though he's nutured) is a dirty old man and was happy to try and assist. The only problem is that Skittles was getting mad because he wasn't doing it properly, lol. Skittles has since been fixed :) Please do your part to curb the homeless pet population by having you pets fixed. To all of those who know me and my love for my animals, have left great funny, sweet or cute comments, I thank you :) For all others : Being that this wasn't enough explanation for the few that look more to criticize, then for what it is " A funny, silly and weird experience that I wanted to share" ~ Skittles was brought to us blind in one very badly infected eye. Just losing one litter only to get immediately pregnant again. She was brought to us already pregnant. ~ Socky the ferret was fixed ~skittles was fixed when her kittens turned 8 wks, which was a bit of the fight with the vet clinic because the kittens were still nursing ~ skittles the cat could have easily escaped Socky, as there is a scratching post in the living room that goes literally right up to the ceiling. Also she'd be jumping on to the furniture if she was in distress and was trying to escape. Which clearly she is not. ~ By me having to spell everything out like this, for some, saddens me because it goes to show that some people have nothing better to do then judge and criticize without knowing the whole situation. Rather then assuming the best, some are so quick to assume the worse. Which ...
A few years back, I used to live in Washington DC in a studio apartment. A few months of the year , I needed to share this space with a room mate also. It was a really small space with a living and dining attached and a small kitchen. Even though I did not have much stuff, I was constantly looking for different ways to accommodate my meagre possessions. I also found it difficult to maintain some privacy especially when there was a room mate or when I had friends over. For the decorator inside me, this situation was a real nightmare. Moving to a bigger apartment was out of the question because of the high cost of apartments in the DC area. When I was literally going crazy trying to find a balance between maximum utilisation of the small space and adding privacy and a touch of decor to the place, my roommate suggested that I should buy a room divider screen to solve my problem.
At first I was not impressed. I thought all room dividers were very heavy, plain looking and very expensive for my tight budget. Then she showed me a few divider screens on a few websites and I was immediately hooked to that idea. Not only were there a variety of room divider screens in various materials like wood, metal, cloth etc, they were also available in different price ranges. There were light weight ones which could be easily moved, foldable ones which could be used when wanted and stored away the rest of the time, heavy and tastefully handcrafted wooden dividers, oriental dividers, shoji room dividers and so much more. I purchased one which was light weight, with 3 panels and fitting my budget.
That was my first room divider. From that time onwards, I have moved around a lot and presently live in my own home, but I have always included the room divider screens to be a part on my decorating ventures, whether it is for the livingroom, the bedroom, kids room or even outside on the backdeck, swimming pool area and so on. It is the perfect solution for dividing a large room into smaller areas, adding privacy to a smaller living space or just for the purpose of decoration.
One of my mom's favorite songs, written in Woodstock, NY circa 1975. I've been thinking of her a lot lately, and of my aunts, family, all the places I've felt at home. First of all the islands, and the second place I just suddenly "knew" I was magnetically aligned, and was surprised to realize I was, and had missed it ... , was actually in Woodstock. So this is a collection of stills: 1. my mother and I in the kitchen of the house we called Fanny Hill, on Marmont Lane in Hollywood, where Fanny lived and rehearsed. 2. the family compound (San Juan, Rizal - Manila) where I essentially grew up. 3. the living room. I had dreamed of this decor/furniture for years ~ thanks to my cousin Rene 'Kim' Limjoco for the shot. It is exactly as I remember ... 4. I lived for the beach! I'm at far left, can you tell? 5. Jean, June (center) and 2 cousins at San Juan 6. Jean blowing out birthday candle. Brother Richard, R 7. photo with my dad ~ we're probably near Tagaytay, en route to my mom's hometown of Lian, Batangas. from left: Jean, Richard, our father John, June 8. I'm very rarely horsing around in early photos, but here it is, this time wih my mom. from left: Jean, June, our mother Yolanda Limjoco, Richard 9. early Limjoco family portrait. Although this was taken pre-WWII and the Occupation - probably closer to the American takeover from the Spanish, who had us for 300 years - I can tell you this is exactly the austere atmosphere I grew up with. Very formal, very Spanish/Catholic ...
