Hello from my meows

I am not sure how this happened but we now have 8 cats 😅 😂  Please say hello to the following babies:
Here's Kumo of course. Nugget's beloved sidekick. Now at 6 years old, he is now the most senior cat in the house.
Moon was the resident basement parking lot kitty at my mom's place. We rescued her last year when her safety was threatened by the administration.  She is a bit feral but has adjusted well to living with other cats.

Garlic was one of the kitties that we would feed in front of the Mini Stop Convenience store near our place. He is the sweetest and is very adventurous.
Juno (Siamese) and Squid were both adopted from my mom's friend.  These babies are super playful and have the healthiest appetite in the bunch 😅
Marty, named after Family Mart Convenience store where he came from. More about Marty in my next post :)
Mommy cat, Cobi and baby Obi. Both kitties were rescued along with Marty. These 3 cats have been medicated and are doing so much better now 💗  Stay tuned for more cat updates 😅

Goodbye, Nugget



My dearest Nugget,

15 years seems like an eternity...  but with you it passed by so fast!  You will always be my baby and I will miss you dearly.

Run free, my boy!

Love,
Meow mom Kate

The Offbeat Cat at Belle and Cat's Sunday Fair

Hi meows!  The Offbeat Cat (me) was a part of Belle and Cat's Sunday fair last July 27.  It was a super fun event filled with art, crafts, handmade items (like leather bags, jewelry) and snacks!  They also served the best and crunchiest okay ever!  I think I had about 5... Lol
Yummy snacks for everyone (free!)
I had my meow stickers on sale along with some kitty brooches and earrings!
 So happy that my meow stickers sold fast!
 I still have a lot of pending orders to ship :D
Hey!  Those meows look familiar!
Bonne Handmade sold these cool turbans
 Studio Bohemia had beautiful resin jewelry.  I heard that they also supply to the Ayala Museum gift shop!
Another fave - jewelry by Istorya!  You can have the words and names customized :D
Anyway, don't worry if you missed the last fair because we will be back on August 17 for the Anti-Monday Bazaar!  There will be lots of cool shops and maybe even one selling a fender frontman 10g!  I'll be posting more details when I get them.  Hope to see you there :D

More busy days ahead

It was an extremely busy week...  So busy that we did not even feel the weekend!  Right now I feel that I need to be extra productive since it is a Monday again.
aftermath of a whole week of crafting!
The first task on my list is to clean the house :D  I joined an art fair (more on that in another post) and because of this our tiny home has been littered with all my stuff!  Next on the list is catching up on all my e-mail messages and pending projects.
But before I get started I am rewarding myself with a Kitkat break!  I wish that after this break I will be able to unlock the power of being super productive so I can finish all the things on my to do list!  It would be great to have that skill!  I also need to be focused and avoid distraction (eeps, good bye internet... and cake walk... haha).
Even my Trikky Kitty agrees that I need a KitKat break (or breaks).  Happy Monday folks!

Outlet Shopping at Robinsons StarMills

Have you been to Robinson's StarMills?  It is a bit out of the way for us Ortigas folks so we never had plans of visiting.  I did hear about the outlet stores there but then again San Fernando, Pampanga is quite far from our home so yeah, no plans were ever made :D
We finally got to visit a couple of weeks ago.  My mom wanted to check out the outlet stores (and I also had an errand nearby).  Getting there was easy - just go straight NLEX and then take the San Fernando exit.
Our first stop was the Guess store.  Most items are at 50% off.  My mom was able to buy a shirt for just p400... half the price of the Guess shirt (same style but different color) she bought on sale at Duty Free! 
   Shoes, belts and bags are on sale too!  Nothing interesting for meow though :D
 Our next stop was the Mango Outlet.  I was surprised to see discounts up to 80% here!
 Dresses at  P625!
Some sizes are not available though but I am sure that you will find something that you like.  They also have coats, shoes, bags, belts and other accessories on sale.
I liked this colorful bead cuff but decided not to buy it because I have so many accessories collecting dust at home :D
My mom ended up getting 7 items for just p1000!  Some clothes even have extra discount when you get to the cashier.
Our last stop was the People Are People store where I got these awesome alien shirts for just p190 each :D
War of the Worlds Anniversary and Alien history + timeline :D  There were still many stores (Toys R Us,  All Flip Flops, Nike, Adidas and others) but we did not get to visit anymore since we were in a hurry to get on the road before rush hour.  Not sure when we will be back but we will definitely drop by again if we are in the area.

Let's go to Barasoain Church

We decided to make an impromptu trip to Barasoain church after seeing several signs along the highway.  We all thought that it will be a quick stop over since we assumed that it was just near the exit...  Of course we were all wrong.  As it turns out the church is quite far from the exit!  It was traffic too since the roads leading there are small and congested (due to several road works).  But the side trip was definitely worth it despite all those setbacks :D
It was nice to finally see this historic church up close!  I really wish I had a 10 peso bill to compare it to :D
 The wooden door is decorated with intricate carvings.
 It is fascinating to think that so many historic events happened here - The first Philippine congress, drafting of the Malolos constitution and the declaration of the first Philippine republic.  It was also General Aguinaldo's temporary home.  Not sure where he stayed though...  I also can't imagine how it must be to live in a church :D
 I noticed the all seeing eye on the altar.  There is a small cafe and a museum in the church compound but sadly it was closed that day (Mondays closed).  The cafe caretaker recommended that we drop by Bahay na Tisa (literally translates to Stone House) which was just a few blocks away from the church.
Bahay na Tisa is a cozy restaurant serving all sorts of food!  We were expecting native dishes and were quite surprised to see maki, pasta and roast beef on the menu :D
I ordered fried shrimp and salted fish fried rice.  Both were really good!  Actually, everybody's order was yummy :D
It was definitely a good decision to make that detour.  Next time though we will be more prepared with our maps and gps :D  Happy Wednesday folks!
