It's never too late to catch up for the #Caturday I've missed. Misha, the apartment receptionist tries to catch up for a post Halloween celebration. Her epic pose says she's busy multitasking, grooming while having her pumpkin and eyeball cocktail for her snacks. Now that's what you call staying pretty while partying. Once again, thank you PicsArt for making this party possible. Let's end Halloween with a blast. 🎃😸
@KrisCastro
This all souls day, we pay our respects to our departed loved ones and all the other souls. It's our tradition to light a candle so I did it for mom. It's been a year since she passed away and it still hurts. But I made her my motivation as I light the candle for her before I do my business presentation. I got strength from her while I pray for blessings to pour upon her. Enjoy the afterlife mom. 🙏
@KrisCastro
I've been noticing this for years now. This kind of sitting position makes cats look like a chicken. Sexy cat takes his day off after those sexy poses he showed us these past few weeks and he's now chillin' with this chicken sitting position. Can you see the roasted chicken figure too? This is personally one of the sitting positions I like that only cats can do.

Finally, I am now fully vaccinated. I'm very thankful that I made it without harsh side effects. On my first dose, I only experienced slight pain in my arm for a day if I move it. On the my last dose, I experienced the same thing with my arm and I just feel a bit sleepy and my movement is limited but I'm glad there's no fever or other harsh side effects and it only lasted for a day. After falling in line for 6 grueling hours for my final dose of vaccine with no harsh side…

Sharing is caring. It has been a few busy days as I had my back to back speaking engagements this week. Last Tuesday, I was one of the speakers for our business briefing. Today, I had my talk about health awareness where I discussed about the basic science behind cellular function and the role of proper nutrition which helps harness the optimal function of our DNA that results to a healthy body. I'm very thankful to our team for giving me the opportunity to practice and…

Some of my friends here have seen this drawing in my newbie days. This is Hideki Takahashi one of my characters in the anime comic book I'll make as my future project. His look is inspired by Hiei of Yu Yu Hakusho (Vincent, Ghost Fighter in Philippines). One of my friends is Hiei's fan so this guy will be her anime boyfriend lol. I did my enhancements as I learn to draw more muscles and I'm so happy while drawing coz I love anime muscles especially the biceps. I learned to…

Better late than never for this #caturday post. Sexy cat is having a good time with nature. He's loving the greenery lately. It's a good thing he's just getting close to them and not destroying them. Good for him, this turns him into a plant model this time. He sure knows how to be stylish. 😺
@KrisCastro
My imagination is running wild again so here goes Marky bear 🥰 I find the bear hat really cute and even if Marky won't wear such thing, I still believe that it looks cute on him so I just did another editing to satisfy my imagination. PicsArt for the bear hat and Gimp for the brushes I used for the background. Thanks to technology, our wildest imagination becomes possible. Marky bear is so cute I wanna squeeze his face. 😍

My Favorite Book: Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki The current business venture I am in provides holistic learning in the different aspects of life. This includes financial literacy and awareness. Way back 2014, my coach recommended a financial literacy book, *Rich Dad Poor Dad* by Robert Kiyosaki and our team read that book. I started to have financial literacy awareness way back 2012 when I left employment for good and this book gave me more awareness and it made…
@KrisCastro
While I was browsing my laptop, I saw this powerpoint presentation I made when I did my financial literacy talk way back 2018. One of the things I shared were the ones I learned from my favorite book, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This book cited ways to develop the right mindset and attitude towards finances while learning the skills needed for it. Everyone has the chance to prosper financially if we only harness our financial genius inside us by being financially…

✨LELOUCH✨ Another drawing I dedicate to a friend, @LadCastro. He is a fan of Lelouch from the anime, Code Geass. This is my birthday gift to him. It's a work in progress. I'll put a pen on it and color it after transferring it to a vellum drawing paper. Lelouch is a rare case of a main character who is also a villain at the same time because of his rebellion. When he uses his power, his eyes become bi-colored. One is red while the other one is the original color, violet. I…

After partying last halloween, Misha falls asleep and she loves to do it with plants. I quietly went near her so I won't wake her up while taking a picture but it seems her sleep is not that deep. She slightly opened her eyes when I took a photo. Still, it was a success. She must be expecting a food since she already associates me with food. She let me pet her belly after. Such a friendly receptionist catto. Sleep well Misha. I'll bring you food next time. 😺

Another 90's kid candy I've seen at the neighborhood. My intention is to buy a cheese spread that time for my pancake when I saw this Almo. It's a chocolate flavored candy with a powdery texture. I really miss it and I'm so happy to see it again after more than a decade. I bought some and I enjoyed eating as it gives me the nostalgia of my childhood. I'm sure 90's kid can relate. 😀
@KrisCastro
Let's Play Millionaires Game Millionaires has been my childhood favorite board game back in the 90's. This was introduced to me by one of my friends in the neighborhood. We are four players back then. I like the game so I asked mom to buy one for me. Mom played this one with me too nd she enjoyed the game. I did my best to preserve this 2-decade board game so I can play it for a long time. Here are some of the inclusions of the board game I was able to keep. This board game…
@KrisCastro
Let's play Millionaires game! More 90's stuff coming up. This Millionaires board game was my favorite back in my childhood years. I was able to keep it. This is simple and fun to play that both kids and adults enjoy. It's like Monopoly where you buy houses but with a twist. I wrote the details of its gameplay here https://read.cash/@KrisCastro/lets-play-millionaires-game-5727af0c. Too bad I lost the tokens, dice and houses. Gonna buy a new one so I can play this with my…
@KrisCastro
When your sister is being a "bully", wrapping her nasty butt on your shoulder and your mom is being a photobomber 😸 Cats really make us smile with weird antics sometimes and they're not aware of it. Poor Azul (black cat) has no choice but to spoil his sis, Junior Jr. for a while with his "what the hell" face lol. I look forward to more weird antics coming from this catto family. 😸
@KrisCastro
A #throwback of last year's Christmas. I invested on a drawing tablet for business and art purposes. This is good for online coaching and training for my business when I need it in my speaking engagements. This is also for my digital artworks and anime drawings, especially for my future anime comic book project. Now I don't need to draw using mouse 😆 I just have to practice until I master it like how I draw in paper. The stroke there is different from paper since it's quite…
@KrisCastro
Last summer, I took this photo while Marky is being groomed. We're lucky to have someone who can do the home service for that. He's my friend's high school classmate. Marky is so cute and well behaved. He stayed still and just changed position when needed. After the haircut, he bathed. The guy grooming him adored him for being such a good boy so Marky received a giveaway, a perfume for dogs. Now that would make Marky even more handsome and cute. I sure know how the guy…

Done drawing one of the scenes in the anime story I'm creating. The genre includes action, fantasy, romance, comedy. This is Hideki Takahashi, one of my characters. Thanks to the flying cockroach, he gets the chance to have this muscle moment 😆 here's the story behind this drawing. Hideki and his mission partner, Yui (future girlfriend) temporarily stayed at a safe villa until Hideki recovers from the virus that paralyzed his left arm. His arm is immobile and in excruciating…

Broom broom broom! Catching up to a late #Caturday again, Misha rides so she won't miss it coz it's better late than never. I happened to pass by Misha sitting there while I was about to throw my trashes. She even got herself a girly safety gear. Very good Misha. Now you're good to go for a ride. 😺
@KrisCastro
While I was arranging my stuff, I get to see two of the precious things in my cabinet again. It gives me the nostalgia about how I got insulted in an interview from my dream school and it ignited the fire in me as I changed my mind, move on and choose to enter a university that has a far better culture than that former dream school. Our Computer Science chairperson saw the potential that even I didn't notice. She taught me all that is required to graduate cum laude. That…
@KrisCastro
Another thing I found while arranging my cabinet. This chess is one of the toys we played in school during break time. I play with my friends before. This is very handy. Its size is close to a half sheet of bond paper when folded. The pieces are magnetic. I always choose black when I play coz I love that color. I'm glad that it's still in good condition after nearly 20 years. I was able to preserve it. The pieces are still complete and the magnet is still working. I miss…

Live a Life of Good Vibes with Self Development In the current business ventures I am in, we don't only have trainings but also events that contribute to our growth and learning. One of these events is a spiritual one, the retreat. Aside from religious activities, this also includes talks that tackle different life aspects and one of them is self development which is essential in improving our mindset and outlook in life. One of the speakers emphasized that life is a choice.…
@KrisCastro
I choose good vibes this #Chooseday. It's been quite a long time since I wrote an article. My mind went blank for a few days and can't come up with ideas but now I somehow pulled it off when I saw another powerpoint presentation I was keeping when I dig in to my laptop. I attended an event in our business and it's a fun filled learning experience. One of the speakers talked about self development emphasizing that life is a choice. I agree that life is 10% what happens to us…
@KrisCastro
General cleaning really gives you good finds. This ballpen is one of my memorable souvenirs from the first ever out of the country trip I experienced. I bought this ballpen from Ocean Park, Hong Kong. This is personally the souvenir I like most among the ones I bought because of its stylish look and attractive colors. This one has blue ink. It's been 12 years since I bought this so it has no ink anymore but I'm still preserving this one as a precious remembrance of my…
@KrisCastro
It's an acrobatic afternoon hygiene for Misha. The receptionist catto should be clean and pretty so she cleans her tummy for a while and she knows how to do it the entertaining way. She's the mascot receptionist here in the apartment after all and she lives up to that. I think you should have a collaboration with the sexy cat one of these days. 😸
@KrisCastro
It's time for #throwback Thursday! I found this in my laptop. Way back 2015, we had a vacation in Capiz. We stayed in our relatives there. One of the afternoon snacks my aunt served is this one. I was so happy because this Hawhaw is one of the childhood candies I love most. It's a bite size milk candy that the 90's kids really love. I hope the store near me will be able to sell this too. I really miss eating this candy. To the pinoy 90's kids out there, I know you can…

A Summer Getaway at the 8 Waves Resort My family and I have our summer outings every year before the pandemic came. We often have one at the 8 Waves Resort because it's very accessible to us. It's quite easy to go there when you have your own car. I was able to take photos during our outing way back 2017 and 2018. Let's have a little tour. The Entrance The entrance is obviously where you pay the fees. There's a kiddie statue in that area that serves as a guide to a kid's…
@KrisCastro
It's a back to back #throwback Thursday so here's another one I'll post. For someone like me who lives in Bulacan, my family and I often have our summer outing in 8 Waves resort since this is one of the decent resorts that are accessible to us. It's located along San Rafael, Bulacan. We travel there for 1 hour. We had an outing there last summer of 2017 and 2018. This photo is the wave pool, one of the many pools they have and this is their main attraction. They have more…

Before having a Friyay blast later, I want to start the day feeling blessed with this remembrance. This rosary is one of the precious items mom had while she's alive. She bought this souvenir from one of the places she had been during her Marian Pilgrimage trip. This is from Rome. She prays the rosary and she uses this one. When she had her ordeal at the hospital in the last 2 months of her life, she's been holding this everyday. When she passed away on the 25th of July last…

🪄 IRENE BELSERION🪄 This is my 3rd work in progress for my friends who celebrated their birthdays in the past few months. Irene is one of the wizards in the anime, Fairy Tail. She is an overpowered villain who turned into an ally later on. She would occasionally appear and guide the protagonists on how they can use their powers more effectively in battles. Another menacing face I have drawn. She will look more menacing once I finish coloring her. I dedicate this work in…

Sexy cat waves at us again this #Caturday as he nails modeling again. I saw him relaxing at our bench outside the house so I used my powers again to bring him a good set for sunbathing. But he's not bringing a lotion with him. He's an alcohol spray model for now since he wants to stay safe and follow health protocols with style. 😸 You nailed it with the rice sack, the wood and the plant. I wonder what model you will be next time. I look forward to more of your epic poses coz…
@KrisCastro
To those who have seen Marky turn into a six headed dog, you can relate to this. Another subject I played with my kaleidoscope 6 lens is mom's yellow bell. I attached the lens on my phone camera then I tried it on the two pieces of yellow bell flowers clinging to each other. The kaleidoscope 6 lens has the effect to multiply the subject by six so the magic takes effect and the flowers become 12. I did some editing by adding red, gold and green lights to have a little touch…

Mom shared her blessing to me and my nieces and so we had a girls' outing way back 2015. A review center where mom had her side job as instructor, has a generous owner who gave her a free trip for 4 to Boracay. This photo is the area where we stayed. This is the only experience I have with this famous tourist spot coz my family is not fond of going there. Boracay is indeed beautiful. The water is so blue and clear. There so many food establishments to choose from if you want…
@KrisCastro
This is the first toy my niece gave Marky. He really loves his toy very much that he won't let go of it. Here's the evidence 😁 This is how he acts whenever he gets a hold of a toy. He's like a kid who won't give away his toy which makes him so cute. My niece had to trick and outsmart him to let his guard down. That's the time when my niece will get the toy to clean and keep it. He'll have it again on his playtime. 🐶
@KrisCastro
Patchi chocolate is another memorable remembrance from my mom. This brand is from the middle east. Mom had her trip there and she brought home this chocolate. This box contains bite size chocolates. It's a plain flavored chocolate yet its taste is so rich and creamy and the texture is so smooth as it melts in your mouth. I can say that its quality is premium no wonder the box itself looks classy. It matches the chocolates inside it. I kept this classy box as a remembrance…
@KrisCastro
Tuxedo cat spotted! 😸 I bought my afternoon snacks a while ago and saw a little acrobatic sight on the road while I was walking on my way home. He's getting ready to run away from me as I get closer while walking so I took a shot quickly right before he runs. Now I love to walk and buy snacks. 😸

If you're familiar with the novel, The Wizard of Oz, they also have a gamebook that children can really enjoy. I used to play with the son of my mom's subordinate at work before. That's how I discovered this gamebook. Mom finds it nice so she bought one for me. This gamebook consists of 6 different games that are based on the novel. The colorful wheel you see at the right bottom serves as a roulette which is a unique idea instead of using dice. It's battery operated. You…

I learned to play badminton in our PE class when I was in elementary. We've been required to bring our own rackets so mom bought me one. The blue one is the first racket I had when I was in 6th grade. I got the black one in high school so I can have an extra and an alternate one. It's been more than 10 years since I kept them and I'm so happy with their quality. They never broke. I haven't played for a long time since I have no one to play with but when my boyfriend comes…

I posted about The Wizard of Oz game book yesterday and mentioned that I will be posting the 6 games included inside the book so this is the first game. This is about Dorothy's quest on the yellow brick road and the goal is to reach the Emerald City. The players move according to where the roulette stops. The roulette can make a player to move 1-4 squares, miss a turn or go back 2 squares. Players should also follow the instructions written on the square where they landed,…

I fell asleep a while ago. I guess I should sleep longer at night this coming weekend to make up for the past few nights I slept for less than 8 hours. Sexy cat just fell asleep like I did and with a smiling face showing his excitement for the Caturday. He's bracing himself for a collaboration party this coming Caturday so he'll sleep a lot for now. He'll make sure that it's gonna be a super sexy Caturday with two other cattos so let's look forward to it. 😺

Taken at Villa Alfredo's resort, this is the only time I experienced having a bird stand on my arm. We often see something like this in tv shows or movies and there's one thing I didn't expect. All this time I thought birds are not heavy especially the ones that are of small or medium size like this parrot on my arm. The little muscle in my arm shows how heavy this parrot is that it forced my arm to flex a bit. I didn't expect to exert effort on this heavy parrot and endure…

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the sexiest of them all? 😸 Time for sexy cat to wake up from his slumber and have a pool party as he collaborates with his lil bro, Abs and Misha, the reception mascot here in the apartment. I looked for a background from the photos I saved in my laptop and found this Pico de Loro condo resort very suitable for the pool party I set up for the sexy squad. Thanks to PicsArt app too for the other props. I had fun combining these epic poses from…
@KrisCastro
Another bird I was able to get a hold of when I was in Villa Alfredo's resort in Pampanga is this green one. I think this is also a parrot with just a different color from the usual blue and red. This is one of the two birds that the aviary staff put on my arm. I can say that I was able to maximize my opportunity to touch animals in that resort. This one is a heavy as the first parrot I held on my arm. These birds are heavier than a kilo of rice. I enjoyed the experience a…

Sharing another game inside the Wizard of Oz game book I posted last time. This is the second game out of 6 games. It's called Spider Monster's Web. In this game, the cowardly lion is stuck in the web created by the nine-headed spider. The game is quite similar to snakes and ladders. The players should press the roulette and move a number of squares based on where it stopped. Follow the instructions if there are anything written in the square. Here's the twist if a player…

When mom passed away, my sister recalled that she has 12 wrist watches left and no one will use them so my sister came up with the idea to divide it among the three of us. We just have to replace the batteries. These are the ones I got coz they fit my small wrist very well. What I also like is that they can also serve as accessories since they all look fashionable. They all manifest mom's fashion sense. I'm very thankful to this remembrance and I'm excited to wear them. ⌚
@KrisCastro
Let the cuteness be with us! Junior Jr. sends us a warm greeting and she wants to wish us a great #chooseday. I took this photo while she's busy thinking who will she stare at. 😸 She stares at our dog (Marky) who is just waiting for her to come down, eager to play with her then she turns her head and stare at me. At least she's not scared of the camera. She gets herself a cute shot with the plants. 😺
@KrisCastro
Scramble for the win! 😁 This is one of my childhood snacks and 90's kids like me from my country (Philippines) can definitely relate. I really miss this snack coz I rarely see people selling this. The last time I ate this for a snack was more than a decade ago. Last summer, my sister found an online seller of this snack and she bought a few for our snack. It made an epic comeback with more serving, more flavorful strawberry crushed ice, more chocolate syrup and powdered…
