Calauit Safari

I picked up Saturday's paper because a picture on the front page caught my eye--- that image of President Arroyo feeding the giraffes in Calauit Island.  I was just there last November with Paul and two of our friends, and I never knew that the Tagbanuas (one of the oldest known IP's or indigenous peoples group in the country living in Central and Northern Palawan) actually had a claim over the island and its surrounding waters.

It was my first time to use this new toy. I read the manual (while driving) during crawling traffic from Harbor Square to Roxas Boulevard (with Tata's help :)). The ones I took indoors dint come out nice. My film had low ISO and I dint use the internal flash, which I should have, really. Oh well. Next time. It was FUN, nonetheless ;)

Lexy :)

I gave her to Paul as a Christmas gift (and pictures were taken a few days after I brought her to Paul's house).

She will be four months old on the 26th. She's so playful... and so makulit! Paul's keeping his fingers crossed that his mom will eventually like her. They haven't had a puppy/dog in the house in a long time so she may need some getting used to.

She has been demoted and brought outside the house (she's no longer the little princess inside) ever since she started biting/chewing on rugs and couches inside. Now, she stays, plays, and sleeps in the lanai. She is quite a handful, but super adorable, nonetheless :)
