Goodnight Barrett...

Barrett is the blue parakeet that we captured while he was flying around house. We kind-of think he was here because he wants to visit Birdie, our green parakeet.

This morning, the birds were noisy but we were about to leave so I didn't really take any notice. Little did I know that it was the last time I'd see Barrett alive. We got home a few minutes ago and I saw Barrett just lying down on the cage, I was quite alarmed and I called my mom. I feared for the worst. I thought they didn't have enough food but there were still a lot of bird seeds. Then I noticed the bite marks on Barrett's neck. He was murdered! T_T

Barrett was a hyperactive little bird. He loves fluttering around the cage and singing. He has this white stripe in his neck, white with black spots on his head, and he looks so cute. He doesn't like me touching him (even though he's so soft!) but at times when I feel down, he cheers me up by chirping a lot.

I'm going to miss him. :(

Lost in transportation...

Yesterday I went to La Salle. I've been there once so I had a pretty good idea of what rides to take.

So around 6pm I went to Trinoma, hopped onto the MRT and then stopped at Cubao. Then I took the LRT2 going... well, where exactly? I knew I was supposed to go to Vito Cruz but why is Vito Cruz not on LRT2's map? Well, I took a risk and just got a V. Mapa ticket. (It has the same letter V like Vito Cruz, so maybe this is it?)

While I was on the train, I tried to look for the signs that were posted on top of the windows. It tells the station and the nearest schools, churches, and other landmarks in the area. I couldn't find it. Then I finally realized... I'M ON THE WRONG TRAIN! I should have gone all the way to Taft and took the LRT1 line! @_@

I was thinking. "Oh no! I'm late for the event! Should I go back and take the MRT to Taft? What should I do? How can I get back?" Took me a few seconds to stop my panic attack and then I saw this station map where it says that LRT2 is connected to LRT1. I'M SAVED! :D

So I just waited until we got to Recto and I went to Vito Cruz (So my memory is correct. I just wasn't paying attention.) I got off the train, went to La Salle and UP rocked the dance concert! They bagged 1st (Diliman) and 2nd (Manila) places. They were just amazing! Even other people in the hall were convinced that UP will win the competition. :D

And now a meme taken from JM. I've done this before, last October 26, 2006. :p

Here goes nothing...

1. I love my pets. So much that I spend some time with them at least once a week and at most... every moment of the day! They're just so cute, furry and squishy! Haha! And best of all, they always love me. I am their favorite master! XD

2. I love taking pictures. I want a camera and video phone with lots of memory. That's first on my list when I get a job! *eyes Nokia for new phone models*

3. I don't like having calluses. That's why I avoid high heels like a plague. I also get a lot of blisters after using sandals, so I use them on VERY special occasions only.

4. I hate mosquitoes. I go crazy over a mosquito bite. :(

5. I listen to AM stations, because my parents like the AM better than the FM. And I don't bother to change the modes. :P

6. I love DQ shakes. Strawberry Banana is my favorite, next is Pineapple (but it's gone).

7. I love my nephews and nieces so much! They're just so sweet and playful. Although I am more strict than their parents, especially when they're playing outside because I don't want them to get hurt.

I tag anyone! Hehe..
