An Afternoon With our Purr--y Friends at the Cat Cafe Manila

-
Catlovers now have a place to go (in the city) if they want to spend some time with our four-legged purr-y friends while they laze away their day.  There is a place called Cat Cafe which is located in 189 Maginhawa St.  where you can pet and hug adorable CATS.  



 The cats that laze around Cat Cafe were all taken from CARA Welfare Philippines.   It is a welfare center for rescued cats. Therefore, most or majority of cats are 'pusapin,' short for "pusang pinoy."   Animal lovers refrain from calling homeless cats 'pusang kalye or pusakal,' because native cats are now called, aptly, "pusapin."

 
At the Cat Cafe, guests are required to pay P200.00.  P100 goes to the donation box for the food and other needs of the cats.  The other P100.00 is consumable.  You may order cold or hot tea and other snack items like sandwiches, pasta dishes and savory pies. 





Inside the cafe, guests can see different appliance that cats can use.  So we can see cats lazing at a tiny hammock or  hiding inside tiny hanging homes, sleeping.  Cats usually sleep around noon time, so guests can just look at them and wait until they wake up and stretch out.  They look so cute doing this!   


If you have the budget and are willing to pay P800 to adopt a cat, you may file for an application.  The cats are open for adoption.  They need a loving home and loving care.  It is not easy taking care of any pet.  Pets like cats bring us a sense of calmness and relaxation.  I look at them and marvel at their grace endlessly.   


Drop by the Cat Cafe and help the rescued cats.  If you can, give them a home and be their adoptive family.   When we came, we were lucky that there were only two guests, sometimes they are filled to a brim and this bothers the cats.  So make a reservation first so that the will reserve the hour/hours for you.    Call: 0922 836 4441

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back whe...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
