I caught another boss moment of Marky. Look how he loves dad's room. He loves lying between the two beds there while enjoying the air-conditioned room. While I was taking his picture, he asked me for a belly rub so here's Marky's belly. What a happy life he's living. Relaxing in an air-conditioned room while enjoying the belly rub. That's the perks of being a good boy. He's well pampered. 🐶

This is another pool I saw in a resort I have shown before, the Villa Alfredo's resort from Pampanga. I can't remember how deep is this character pool. I'm just amazed on how they were able to put some of the famous cartoon characters there and they look accurate. I'm sure that 90s kids can relate here. Bugs bunny, Lola, Popeye and Olive Oyl are some familiar characters I see here. They add fun to the nice ambiance while they remind us of our childhood. 😀

It's an all-star cast Caturday! Did you miss Junior's stray cat family? Here they are. When I arrived last Tuesday, I saw them together like this. It's because my niece gave them the extra dog food. I was surprised coz it's the first time that they ate together like this. They used to eat in separate groups before I moved and the baby kitties always stick to their mom. A month later, they now eat together. Maybe because her babies are starting to grow. What I like about this…

Happy 71s birthday mom. Have a wonderful one in heaven. She may not be with us physically anymore but we still celebrate mom's birthday. This is her second birthday in heaven. I cooked mac 'n cheese pasta, my sister bought pizza and this chiffon cake and she decorated it with real flower coz mom loves yellow flowers, and dad bought a bouquet flowers for her. We put it on her grave. We ate the snacks there yesterday. It was a set of yellow foods as I noticed. It was another…

Did anyone miss Loki? Here he is. I captured his moment with Junior. Funny thing about Loki is that he wants to get near and play with cats but when the cat is near him, he would just put some distance between them 😄 He will just sniff on cats while keeping his distance. These photos show it. Another feel good moment with fur babies captured when I visited my family last week. 🐶😺

Looking Forward: Advanced Karate Techniques Tracking the Basics After learning the first two basic karate lessons I shared in my previous article, it's now time to practice tracking, also known as walking the techniques. It is basically incorporating the basic techniques into walking forward and backwards after learning to do them in place. I can see its importance in improving footwork and coordination especially when the target is moving. First, perform the front punch…

Last week has been a very busy and nerve cracking week due to unexpected events that I never had the chance to write an article. Now that I'm back to the apartment, I finally own my time again so it's time to finish the last part of my series of karate articles found here https://read.cash/@KrisCastro/looking-forward-advanced-karate-techniques-1d50ca37. It's all about improving footwork and coordination as you perform different combos of the basics I shared in my previous…

Here comes fatty Frenny showing herself again. She's the female cat making an epic pose outside the reception area of the apartment on my first few days here. I saw her again while I was throwing my trashes. I passed by her so I took another shot. Good thing I brought my phone with me. What I love most about her is that she's not scared of people. She's pretty friendly with hoomans and I love how fat her tummy is. I poke and squeeze it each time I see her. 😺
@KrisCastro
I figured something interesting yesterday about these stray cats, Frenny and the gang. The caretaker gave them names long time ago. Frenny is actually Misha. The one sitting at the window is Gorio and the one standing is Gorio's dad. Now I know. This is the stray cat family at the apartment's reception wishing us a happy Caturday. With love from fatty Misha and the gang. 😺 #Caturday

Meat Lovers Mac 'n Cheese Last September 4 was mom's birthday. She may not be with us physically anymore but we still celebrate her special day so I went home to celebrate her birthday with my family. I came up with the idea to cook a mac 'n cheese pasta since it is rarely done in our family occasions. I want to do something different and I made this recipe with a twist. Instead of a plain mac 'n cheese pasta, I made this 3-cheese pasta and added some meat. If you are…
@KrisCastro
Mom may not be physically with us anymore but we still celebrate her birthday. Last Saturday was her special day. After a nerve cracking and a busy week, I was finally able to write the recipe of this mac 'n cheese I made, the Meat Lovers Mac 'n Cheese. It's a 3-cheese (regular cheese, cheddar, mozzarella) pasta and I made it meaty with marinated ground beef and bacon bits to add more flavor to the plain mac 'n cheese. If you're interested to try this one on a special…

To some of you who have seen our pets, do you remember our black puppy, Muffin? Here's her surprising transformation. She's a grown up now but surprisingly her fur is far different from before. She used to have a black fur. A few months ago, her owner had her groomed. When her fur grew back, it's not black anymore. The gray and whites become very dominant and this is her color now. I wonder if that black color she used to have is just a dye. Still, Muffin is so adorable and…

Another shot I have taken when I had a visit at home. I saw the catto siblings hanging out one afternoon. Junior's babies are growing slowly. They are more playful now and they sit wherever they want. I like how Junior Jr. (the calico cat) sit on the first photo as if she's inside the pot. I also like how Azul (black cat) place his arm on the railings on the second photo as if he's asking for a beer. 😸 Cats can be creative with the way they sit sometimes. They're not aware…

As some of you know that Caleb was given to our neighbor coz dad got scratched by him, do you miss him too? Here he is showing himself again. This is one of the photos I was able to keep. He looks as if he's having a shampoo in this pose so I made some editing here using PicsArt app. Caleb sends his morning greetings now in his morning bath. 🐰🤍

Another shelf that made me busy is this one. Yes it will be one heck of assembling cabinets, racks and shelves because of a sudden change in plans. I suddenly had to bring all my belongings with me at the apartment I currently live now coz my niece will transfer to my room due to budget constraints with the house renovation. My niece would have to transfer to the room I left so my nephews would fit in my niece's old room since my sister's family will transfer. Now I have to…
@KrisCastro
Two days after the shelves arrived, this rack arrived next. I need a heavy duty rack for the kitchen so I can place a gallon of my water supply, my sack of 5-kilo rice and future microwave oven so I bought this 3-tier rack that can bear heavy weight. It's a good thing that my hands don't hurt anymore when this one arrived so I have the strength to assemble this one. They also provided a screw driver for this one. It took me 2 hours to assemble this. I'm very careful not to…

To those of you who know our cattos, did you miss sexy cat's poses? Here you go. Our sexy cat makes a comeback saying "This is the sexy way to scratch your head" 😸 He really lives up to his name. Sexy cat has his sexy pose for the things he's doing that's why he's my favorite when it comes to poses. He never fails to nail it and he never fails to make me smile. I wonder what will be his next sexy pose. I'll be rooting for it. 😺
@KrisCastro
Like big bro, like lil bro! It's a back to back epic pose from our catto brothers. Yesterday, it's sexy cat. Now, it's his lil bro, Abs. There goes Abs showing his abs again and this time he shows it while bleeping. Like his big bro, he lives up to his name too. He shows abs in whatever he does. You nailed it Abs and I'm sure you'll make people smile like your big bro. 😸

Mama Dear's Catto Empire Legacy Saturday is Caturday! I dedicate this special day to the catto empire in the house. I always see stray cats roaming outside our house. Being an animal lover, I easily feel good when I see cute animals so I try to befriend them but most of these cats are scared of people. One summer of 2010 made a history. Little did I know that it will be the start of the catto empire in our house. Mama Dear Appears Stray cats keep coming but they're hard to…

It's Caturday and it's never too late to make a dedication to these lovely cattos on their special day. Let's have a history class dedicated to cats today. As some of you have seen the family of stray cats who have been living with us for years, have you ever wondered how this clan started? Here's the history of the catto empire that made us smile with their cute and epic poses. Enjoy reading. https://read.cash/@KrisCastro/mama-dears-catto-empire-legacy-7078c224

Slambook Challenge Accepted! I had fun reading the slambook article of @fantagira so I'm taking her challenge. It's indeed a fun way to get to know something about the person. I chose six random questions as my simple way of showing a little background of myself. Let's start the fun. 📝 Where did your name come from? My full name is Krisleen. How is a pair of Marikina made footwear related to it? When I asked mom where she got my name, she said it's from a local shoe store in…

Our 12-year old senior dog, Lassy is asking for it too. 😉 There are times when I try to take his picture, he would pose like this. He thinks I will give him a belly rub so he prepares his fatty belly for it. Dogs of all ages really love it. I give him a belly rub for his reward after this photoshoot. I also give addition belly squeeze coz I love fatty belly in animals. I can't help but squeeze it. Lassy likes it. 😄 This is the least I can do since I can't get him out of his…

Creamy Paprika Chicken Today, I want to share another recipe especially to those who are running out of ideas. In my country, we often cook fried chicken with paprika especially for business owners.

Paprika fried chicken is quite popular here especially for business owners. This gave me an idea to create a variation and cook something different. I was thinking of making a paprika dish with a creamy sauce so I tried to look for ideas on how to make one. I cooked this creamy paprika chicken garnished with parsley and it turned out well. You may want to check this out and try this at home. Here's the recipe for it.…

Loki never changed since the last time I saw him. He still loves to clench on that wood and loves to push it too. Despite his small feet and legs, he has a strong force. He's used to pushing that wood at full force. That's his way to get out of that barrier wood. He will really do everything to so he can go out and run around. The only trick to do so I can take his photo like this is to call him and pat him a little so he would clench longer and you get the chance to take…

Airdrop post - Mom's Memorable Singapore Treat Mom once had a side job. Come 2013, this side job unexpectedly blessed us with an international travel. She's teaching part time for midwifery board exam. She experienced teaching abroad too as part of her side job. That's the first time she was deployed to Singapore. Not only that she experienced teaching there, she also witnessed the beauty of the country so she blessed our whole family by sharing the experience with us. The…

Way back 2013, mom gave us a treat. She brought the whole family to Singapore. She has a side job and she was deployed there to teach for the midwifery board exam. She enjoyed the beauty of the country so she shared it with us by the time she saved enough to treat us all. We stayed there for 3 days. We explored the beautiful country and we enjoyed a lot of places that combines the beauty of nature and infrastructures. The Universal Studios, the business district and merlion…

Junior's mini me, Junior Jr. wants to celebrate this Caturday playing with a nerf gun bullet. She looks so cute and happy rolling on the floor while playing with that toy. I took a shot while she's rolling along with her big bro's abs for a photobomber. This is her cutest picture so far. I love that tummy. 😺 Enjoy your caturday Junior Jr. 😺 #Caturday

The Four Animals in the Stock Market : The Right Attitude in Investing Way back 2013, my mom shared one of her books to me. The title is "The Turtle Always Wins" by a renowned public speaker and businessman here, Bro. Bo Sanchez. It's about the right attitude when it comes to investing in the stock market. Mom shared this book to me when she learned about my interest in the stock market. She had me read the book to get some ideas before I venture into stock market investing.…

Mom shared a book to me way back 2013. Back then, I was scared of investing coz I'm afraid to take risks. This book, "The Turtle Always Wins" has helped me overcome that fear. It made me realize that we just have to be educated before we enter into a venture. Thanks to this book I learned the basic practice and important attitude in investing. I started to be a fan of Bro. Bo Sanchez, the author of this book. He gave me the inspiration to be financially literate that gave me…

It's time to give the spotlight to Azul. I caught him relaxing beside the nerf gun bullet after his sister, Junior Jr. played with it. I also noticed that most people at home like him. They're attracted to his black fur. He has the most shiny fur and he's like a shampoo model because of it. I guess that shiny fur is the difference of black cats from others. Azul is also the first among these kittens who got friendly with me. After 3 months of feeding them, Azul is the first…

Good morning! Boss Marky wants to show us his boss moment and send some good vibes to brighten our day. Last summer was really hot that even our fur boss is struggling to bear with the heat so we give him a fan whenever he stays at the kitchen or dining area. Look at how he owns our fan and comfortably enjoys the air. He will always have a fan spared for him so boss will always feel fresh and comfy. See you later Marky when I visit. 🐶

I paid a visit at home yesterday to celebrate my nephew's birthday with my family. The house is being renovated and my sister showed me the progress. They started to renovate the 2nd floor. This is how it looks like now. The floor is finished. They just have to paint the walls and put the doors. I wonder what color they will decide to choose. I want to see these rooms completed the next time I visit on November. I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful interior design.

Success Killers You Should Avoid if You Want a Fulfilling Life One thing I love most in the business venture I am in is that the learning never stops and we experience holistic growth with the trainings our leaders equip us.
