I will have gone 9 times in the last 2 weeks. A few times I have thought twice about going, but I’ve gotten to convincing myself I will be happy I forced myself to go once I am in the studio. And I am.
You see its too hard to do anything more than try to breathe, do the poses, and not drink water. So all the annoyances and worries are ignored for an hour and a half.
I am not even a citizen, but I do pay taxes. So it was a nervous thing to not be able to vote and have a say. But when Barack Obama won I felt like it was the Edsa revolution, when people were in the streets and there was all that pride and possibility.
(Well, you know what came after…but) this now is really breathtaking.
I attended a Bikram yoga class after about 2 years of not going and I have forgotten how hot it could be! Actually I think they got the room hotter than the 110degrees it should have been. I felt like I would vaporize.
Then after that I walked out into 55degree weather and the sweat on my head cooled and gave me a headache.
So much for healing hee. But I did enjoy it and I didn’t die so I’ll try to be back soon.
We call Reno our “Miracle Dog” because, unlike Romeo/Juliet, we did not send out an alert since the prognosis was not very good. Rescuers were advised to pray and hope for the best.

Last week, Dr Arceo texted us with this message: “This dog continues to surprise. The other eye which I thought was completely blind and hopeless, is now a feasible, seeing eye! He is now on his second round of chemotherapy..”
But aren’t they pretty?
Pretty flatsoled too. But insoles should do it for me.
that going to Goldilocks and having some fastfood sisig, a vegetable lumpia with over sweet sauce, and saba con yelo would make me feel so satisfied!
Stop dog gassing and drowning in the future for Cagayan de Oro City
News reports confirm the cruel dog gassing and drowning conducted by
the Cagayan de Oro City Veterinary Office to get rid of dogs in
pounds.
The dogs impounded in the streets and remained unclaimed in pounds
are subjected to a slow and painful death. The drowning was done in a
landfill in full view of the public; it took about five long minutes
before one dog dies. The remains of the dogs are dumped in the same
landfill.
This is an outright violation of Republic 8485 or Philippine Animal
Welfare Act of 1998 which clearly states that killing of dogs must be
done humanely at all times.
The veterinary office of Cagayan de Oro City has been experimenting
on carbon monoxide poisoning using vehicle exhaust and improvised gas
chambers, drowning, and intracranial injection to rid of strays since
1996. The law was passed and took effect in 1998.
We have to let the officials know that we will not let this pass and
this barbaric act should never happen again. I have written a letter
to guide you write your own letter or you can use the one I wrote.
Unfortunately, CDO officials don’t have email addresses so we have to
make extra effort to send a snail mail. I hope that you will find
time to do this so there will be no more dogs who will suffer such
cruelty in the future.

Dear Dr. Asis/Mayor Constantino,
I am writing to express my concern about the method used in
controlling the population of strays and preventing the spread of
rabies in your city.
The dogs didn’t have to experience a slow, painful, and disturbing
death through gassing, drowning or intracranial injection. They were
separated from their guardians, impounded, and kept in dog pounds.
And they don’t deserve to be dumped in a landfill after they die.
These animals have feelings like all of us. They feel fear and
anxiety. They don’t deserve to be subjected to seeing their fellow
dogs die in front of their eyes. This is not only inhumane but
barbaric.
I understand that there are other more humane ways in controlling the
population of strays as mandated by the Philippine law. Death by
lethal injection is the most humane way of animal population control
as proved by other cities in the Philippines like Marikina in Metro
Manila.
I hope that you will follow the examples of other cities in your
country and work with animal welfare groups to help you and save the
image of your city which has been tainted by this piece of horrifying
news.
Sincerely yours,_,_.___
