Chloe!

I just adopted a pup named Chloe. She's a 4 month old pit bull (i know i know pit bulls are blah blah blah) she's amazing, really good natured and a total sweetheart.

We're working through some minor accidents, but all in all...she's super easy to train and is eager to please me and dave. She learned how to sit, shake and lie down in one moring!

I'm turning out to be more of the disciplinarian whereas dave is the sucker that lets her get away with almost everything.

We pick on Dave.

peeps.

i have to share this anecdote because i forgot to include it in earlier postings.

so dave had just arrived in the Philippines (kinda) and we had gone out to eat. We were in the town where the caves were, fyi, so they're admittedly, more likely to eat funky stuff. Anyway, so we're about to eat and we're looking at the menu and this is sort of what it said. for example.

Caldereta
Beef stew with large pieces of meat, vegetables and pota
toes mixed in tomato sauce.

so Dave only sees "toes" on the second line and says "oh wow, they serve toes here" and i'm like what? filipinos don't eat toes.

"let me see that,"

and he says, "what are pota toes?"

and i started dying of laughter, "ummm potas you know they're related to tomas, we also eat toma toes."

get it potatoes?

anyway, it was good.

and this video was a failed attempt at playing a joke on dave. see, theres a lot of little critters and bugs around the mountains and martine was twirling her hair and she was going to sneak up next to him and tickle his ear with her hair because it feels incredibly similar to what you would imagine it felt to have a grasshopper or something equally large, nestle up against your ear. but as you will see, umm, we weren't successful.

Reeeeeeef Walking

So in Boracay you can go reef walking for about $20 a person.

They take you out to the middle of the ocean and they put a glass helmet on your head and basically lower you down onto the ocean floor and pump air into your helmet. Then when you're down there, a scuba diver hangs out and gives you bread and you can feed all the fishies.

We had just watched a special on great white sharks the night before, so we were a bit nervous.







please note that dave's nose is too big and is hitting the glass. hehehe

Girlies

isn't that just cyoooot?

So i've been meaning to upload my pictures from reef walking , but its more difficult than you would imagine since it was taken with an underwater camera. But I swear, these pictures will blow your mind, so I will post them as soon as I've scanned them.
