Hi Krazee!
Aaahhhh... orchids! I love orchids! I have several friends in the US who are originally from Venezuela - and they all are very interested in orchid-growing. If you lived here, I am sure that they would love to talk to you about what it's like to grow orchids in the Philippenes.
My cats' names are kind of silly. I bought the cats from a girl who was going to live with her boyfriend, who is allergic to cats. She had named the cats "Genghis" and "Tamulin" ("Muli" as a nickname). I hated these names - I thought they were too serious for such silly cats. But my boyfriend thought it would be mean to change their names entirely... so he made me pick new names that rhyme with the old names. This wasn't easy! So... Penguis and Julie are their names now. Actually, Penguis is black and white, and a little bit overweight, so he kind of looks like a penguin. Julie is little and playful. Here's a different link to the same picture:

You should not need any kind of password for that picture.

Why do you think you're aloof to Melanie and Mary Jane? Just out of shyness? Are you health-conscious also? It's not necessarily fun to be health conscious... but I guess it's a good idea. I like to eat, but fortunately I like to eat mostly food that is good for you (vegetables, mostly, but I also eat meat if someone else cooks it) and I like to exercise, mostly riding my bike.

This weekend was really busy for me. I went out to dinner with my boyfriend on Friday. Saturday, we looked for furniture but didn't find what we were looking for (a dining room table and a couch) and I became kind of depressed (not because of the furniture - I don't know why I wasn't feeling happy). I felt a little bit better after we went for a bike ride, although by the time we came home, it was really dark and we didn't have any lights on our bikes. I get pretty scared to ride in the dark without lights, but we didn't have any choice. We made dinner at home last night, and watched TV with our kitties on our laps. Today... was a good day! We bought 2 little tables and 1 chair (used... from my favorite website http://portland.craigslist.com), and I bought a new digital camera. Doesn't sound like an exciting day, but it was pretty fun for both of us, and we were out since 9am, and just got home about 2 hours ago (maybe at 8:30pm).

I have to work tomorrow... ugh. Not looking forward to it. I am getting very tired of my job...

Okay - hope you're doing well and I look forward to hearing back from you!

Your friend,
LMo
