Sassy Scribbles is now Scribbling Sassy!

Had had to change my URL coz somebody else is using it for the past-i-dont-know selling jewelry and stuff that people think I own it... I dont. I wish I do but I dont.

Anyhoo, so I changed my URL ( http://scribblingsassy.blogspot.com/)and quit my job and had a positive OVULATION PREDICTION result! that's what is up with me :) yes, I did quit my job, FINALLY. "got the courage to do so and 2 weeks had been gone since. I did house chores like a mad woman, cooking stuff.. (learning how to cook) and monitoring my reproductive systems. WE are trying to conceive since late last year and was unsuccessful, 'been married for 4 years to a wonderful man who is taking care of me really good... and this APRIL 2013, we are trying to conceive again. I've went through a lot of medications and non-invasive operations involving my uterus. I had PCOS, I had Simple Endometrial Hyperplasia w/o Atypia ... polyps... physiological follicles... whatever they call themmm... it was a lot. NOW, we try to conceive so we can totally get rid of the whole reproduction area. I'm scared of getting more complicated stuff to deal with it in the future, so I'm considering that, after at least 2 kids :)

LIFE has been good, I am blessed. There is not a day when I am not thankful for everything that I have. Good and not so good, I still am grateful.

here's what the ovulation kit says: (positive and ready for action!)

here's me and the hubby from church last sundayyy:

accidental pet owner: A Kitty!!!

Couple of days ago and I really mean Sunday, we came home from the church around  9pm to a loud meowing from the house porch...we have a porch ohaha, I forgot to tell that we've moved to another city but it's very close to the old neighborhood that we used to have. still GHETTO. haha. but at least we have a living room. ya know, city life.

ANYHOW, the husband and I went on to searching for this tiny, miserable meows...like it's lost-helpless-and-dying all at once. It was dark and we really meant to find a kitten instead of a monster pretending to be a kitty. 'Good enough, after a few second of search we found it [indeed a kitty] in one of my suede shoes... scared, wet and shaky. HOW bad are the kids in my new neighborhood!! ... we know they had put that poor kitty though the tiny hole on our gate, rolled the screen to one side that only tiny hands could fit in!! argh....  these kids also rang our doorbell weeks after we moved it until it busted. argh argh.

FRIDAY. First night, we tried putting it out coz cats here are just roaming, wild creatures...unless they are bred or something, they just stay on the rooftops of houses, and we thought MOTHER cat will just get the poor thing. SO we left the kitten on the street [heartless as we are] though it was crying, we pretend not to hear like it's normal and kittens that arent bred are dirty, they could be carrying diseases or whatever.

THE next day SATURDAY at lunch...after hearing, cars, trucks, children playing and everything...we heard the tiny cry...still out there on the street was that poor little creature. I looked at my husband in a "awwhh" kind of way and he said, "alright...if you want it I'll get it but you will take care of it" ... I took a can of milk from the pantry, hurriedly open it and then poured to a bowl. The kitten is grey, brown, stripes... ugly cat I thought haha, but it's... tiny and hungry, my heart is breaking into small cracks I cannot ignore... BUT then it wont feed on the evaporated milk I gave it, silly me... but I had nothing for a cat...it was actually mine...that was my milk....

LATER in the afternoon, after church choir practice...around 9pm.. THE husband and I are bothered that we haven't fed the cat all day and that it wont feed on canned, for human milk... also, it was helpless to feed it using a spoon...A SPOON. A SPOON? we are geniuses.haha doesnt work for a 3 week-old kitten.

We looked for medicine drops and bought full-powdered milk... kitten substitute milk isnt available at the stores we went to, so we decided to give it BEAR BRAND MILK...

THe dropper...after 4 sips...the kitten is done. HE cant suckle into it coz it was plastic... I'm growing frustrated and sad, that I dont want it to die. The medicine dropper didnt work either.

SUNDAY. Tried again to feed it before going to the morning service...4 sips and thats all... crying and tried my best to put it to sleep until we left the house.

LUNCH time came that SUNDAY and KITTY was gone. Just like that GONE. We noticed the screen being rolled to the side again and we knew... kids got the kitten... after all the work we've done!! They took my cat :(

MONDAY. Guess what? he was back... i was in denial, but I'm actually happy it's back... the husband.. not so sure about it though haha... still... frustrated at feeding it... it cried and cried until it sleeps and then wakes up to crying again...walking about the porch... I tried cotton balls, I tried making a hole to the rubber end of the medicine dropper.. nothing worked.. I was afraid it would die... and so, I went online, went to YOUTUBE... found this video... [youtube has everything.]

I saw this and I thought this would solve my problem!! So I asked a friend who owns many cats...19 cats in the house... [yeah, true strory]  of where to get those feeding bottles with tiny nipples for kittens and she told me to go to this MALL and it was great that it was near to my place.

TUESDAY. So we went there this morning... found the store...Animal House at Market! Market! ... 'found the feeding bottle and I'm bit taken-aback by the price... it's 380 pesos... OMG, the things I could buy with 380 pesos [it's around $ 9.50] ... made from Illinois. That's what. But it did solve my problem...though he was squirmish... I had to force feed it...but the nipples are soft so I know it wont hurt his mouth :) I bought gloves also coz his paw nails [whatever you call it] are like raven claws...

ANYHOO.. here's what the feeding bottle looks like...if ever you encounter an unexpected delivery...

and here's what Kitty looks like on the FIRST day... um.. we ought to name it : Mayor [haha] Like.. "where is the Mayor?" ... "feed the Mayor"

[aww... in my suede shoes]

 [spoon feeding...didn't work]

HUWELL... I hope he survives, but the moment I saw him feeding properly... finished a table spoon of milk and his tummy fat... I think it'll survive :) I really like how he waits near the gate when we come home and cries loud when I'm near the door to get him... aww... I'm a pet owner now.. by accident, to an orphaned, ghetto cat :D

one more chance :D

HELLO. HELLO. Is anyone home? I am here and I did went on a loooong holiday with writing my stuff and trying to do work, do life. It's been a journey that I kept track in my head 'wanting to write about it but end up on Facebook. [wait, I dont even do facebook that much, either]

BUT I'm good :) my husband and I went on to 4 years and going, 'still waiting and working for that baby [ugh] baby come, come! If he/she comes along, we're so ready... if there's such a thing as very-very much willing parents, we're on that level already!  The workup in itself is stressful and you're told not to stress which is very ironic but we're on our 2nd cycle. I hope this time, the universe conspires to finally bring in the bean.

'much love,

SASSY

VISUAL MUSINGS #01: Boston - Part 1

Taking time to share you some of the pictures I've unearthed.... this is very nostalgic, I wanted to cry. But it's with tears of good memories and YOUTH.

2012 is a new format

I guess I'm a bad bad blogger, I don't blog anymore as much as I used to and so that is not a guess, I'd correct that. I've seen many changed among the people I follow... You've become even better! I'm surprised at how long I've been gone that everyone's blog looked so new and fresh! I couldn't be more proud of that I was following people with directions!!! :)

Well as usual about me and the husband, still together with no kids :) we really hoped every year we'd have one but then 2009, 2010 and 2011 came viola! Nada.

But still we try and not giving up, our prayers are answered in many other areas in our lives and so we believe that in the right time, the baby will come :)

He might come and going straight to college!

I'm happy, couldn't ask for anything more.

hey :)

Hello! I'm happy! I guess the term "happy" will make all of my friends and family feel good that I'm doing fine and I haven't jumped off a bridge or something coz I've been working too much and stress is my murderer.

Anyway, I have been busy and that's always my excuse for not writing. I am working on a project which we call 1717 Granite Broadway  but is better known on the outside world as the Marriot Hotel in New York. Nooo, sadly we are not going to New York this time to see it. hmff.

well here's what it should look like:

Current Read: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

Noooo, I wouldn't be left out (again) when people are starting to read over the current 
"It" book. Like the Twilight Sagas and the Harry Potter that went on to films and 
everyone's blogs, people collecting memorabilia about these series and I wasn't even 
halfway reading the FIRST BOOK, I tried not to fall into the craze and swore not to 
watch the movie until I finish reading but Heck I failed that soooo nyeah....it is 
frustrating.yes. that I went to almost all of the movies made about those books that 
eventually got me thinking if the scenes were actually how the author would've wanted it portrayed coz I wasn't able to finish reading so I have nothing to compare on....it's frus-traaa-ting.


BUT, one of these days I would go back to them and read from book one to 
finish...trust me on this, I looove things OLD and classic, so they'd still fit right in and I will read them!Anyway hush, my current read is a book that I saw at the bookstore that I frequent, it stood out for me coz it said IMMORTAL... like everyone hyped about vampires/mystery/goth/epic storylines I got curious about this book that goes with the title THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS. I immediately thought it would be one of those creatures with mystical powers sort-of-stuff (again) like many other books written these days falling into the bandwagon.


This book isn't fiction. So I got so intrigued and bought this book in less than a 
heartbeat!
