Writer's Tour and an Invite

This post has been long over due. I'm really sorry for that, but please know that I haven't forgotten it yet. Mom, as you all know, is very busy... All the time.

Anyway, this Writer's Tour post has been passed on to me by Dezi and Mom Audra of Dezizworld last August 10. Yup! You read it correctly. Meow! What date is today??? See what I mean?

There are a few rules here... Let's see...
1) I need to mention and link to the blog that invited me - Check!
2) Answer three questions - Mom will go into that in a while.
3) Invite three other bloggers to write and link - I may have to bend this rule a little bit. See, I'm purrty sure that a lot of you have already done this and I don't want to be redundant. So what I will do is put an open invitation to anycat who hasn't done this yet. Just link back to me when you do. Deal?

Now on to our questions. I'm letting Mom answer because she's the one helping me post and she's the one who's always busy... Tee hee...

1) What am I working on?

A lot! My plate is always full nowadays. As they say, when it rains it pours. That's exactly the case with me now. I still try to squeeze in some blogging time for myself and Sushi, but I couldn't do it as often as I would want to. Some days when I'm free (from work), I just want to relax and chill. I must admit, blogging time has taken a back seat lately. What am I working on now? Aside from my demanding work? Well, next week is Sushi's 2nd birthday. I already ordered a cake for her which we will be sharing with her bloggy furiends. Nothing major this year. I plan to keep it simple.

2) Why do I write what I do?

When I started a blog for Sushi, my intention was to document things happening to her as much as I could. And I guess that is still the case now. Although we're blogging less lately, I still make it a point to blog what I think is important or significant in Sushi's life. The friends we gained along the way are definitely a major bonus! What I planned to be just an "online diary" for simple documentation, turned out to be a whole lot of fun with interactions among pet parents.

3) How does my writing process work?

I write anything and everything under the sun. I write when things are good and when things aren't. I write whenever I feel like it (which is not the case now because of my hectic schedule. Even when I want to blog, most days my time won't permit me to). I write from the heart and for fun. The number one rule I will never ever break when blogging is HONESTY.  It's like what you see is what you get. No pretention.

So there. That was my Mom. On a lighter note...

Hello Again

Hi furiends! I hope you still remember me. I sure miss all of you, but what can I do? I'm at the mercy of Mom when she'll have the time to help me post.

Anyway, I'm all good. My paws and ears are now completely healed. My swollen lower lip is not swollen anymore. Thank cod! I'm back to normal. My trip to the vet is becoming less and less. Although this weekend I'm scheduled for another shot. That's okay. I'm ready for that.

Mom's schedule is crazier than ever. She's always out. That leaves me and my yaya Apple at home most of the time. I'm okay with that too as long as she feeds me well. The good news is Mom is up for a purrmotion. When that happens first quarter of next year, that would mean extra $$$ (Peso in our currency). Extra $$$ means new toys and lotsa noms. So I won't complain. 

Anyhoo, will read blogs a little bit at a time so as not to tire Mom too much. She had a flare (according to her doctor) because of lupus rash attack. Both her legs look like the map of the world! Yuckness! No pain which she's very grateful for except for the rashes that are very ugly and itchy. 

My birthday is coming up next month. I'm turning two very soon. Mom is already planning for my small house pawty. I'm a little bit excited, but not too much yet.  Tee hee... 

I'll see you around!

PeeEss: Mom and I are very saddened about what happened to our very dear furiend, Sparkle. She will be furever loved and remembered... Fly high, sweet furiend... Fly high...

*********************************************************************************

After my Hello Kitty pawty, I was invited by Speedy to his Pirate themed birthday pawty. Isn't that great?  So, I'm going to his pawty with my pirate costume.  What do you think?

Let's Get the Pawty Started!

Today is a very special day.  It's my 1st birthday! I would like to celebrate this pawsome day with my dear online furriends.  Mom helped me put these together for all of us to enjoy.

Let's get the pawty started!!!

Everyone gets each of these... =)

Let's have some vegetable salad and fruit salad first. 

Now let's gobble on some shrimps, crabs, lobsters and some Japanese food.

Here are some chickies (Yum!), mixed veggies, mashed potatoes and a slab of  steak.

And since Mom is Chinese, she insisted that I also have some Chinese dim sum and noodles on the table. Here, help yourselves with some Chinese birthday misua (noodles), shrimp dumplings, taro puff, radish cake, pork siumai and chicken feet.

I'm saving the best for last. =)

Have some of my favorites - tuna and salmon.

And for dessert...

Chocolate cupcakes. ice cream, marshmallows and M&M's!

Here's more... Special treats for my special furriends!

Ooops, you might be very thirsty by now. We prepared some fresh juice for you.  Here, have some!

Hope you're enjoying the food!  Have a second and a third serving; and stay for as long as you like.  

And before anyone goes, please don't forget to get your loot bags. There's enough for everyone. 

By the way, I got my very first birthday card ever!  Thank you, Sammy!  You are sooooo very sweet.

I hope everyone enjoyed my pawty.  I sure did.  Thank y'all for coming. 

Love y'all my furriends!

You're Invited!
