Portable

I want everything portable.

It’s a kiddie camping chair but some kids are heavier than me so I guess it’s okay.

Costs P399 at Ace Hardware. Price doesn’t include Princess, though.

Pet Grooming: Nail Trimmer

I've been paying a hundred pesos for Princess' nail trim every month. She doesn't like it when we touch her paws so we decided it'd be better to just bring her to the groomer for nail trim. We were afraid we would hurt her if we're the ones who'd clip her nails.

Aside from that, most of her nails are black so it's really hard to see the blood vessels.

I dropped by Ace Hardware yesterday to look for Shoe Goo. They don't carry the brand so I just roamed around a little until I saw this:

I thought I would try giving Princess a nail trim on my own. I immediately tried it on her the minute I got home. She was making funny sounds all throughout the process, cried once (but there was no blood, really), but successfully clipped all her nails in one sitting.

This means I could save a hundred pesos every month. No, make that a hundred pesos more for the climb budget.

Headlamp

Too excited for tomorrow that after my last dog bite vaccine at RITM this morning, I searched Festival Mall and Star Mall Alabang for a bladder and a headlamp.

Bladder because I thought it's more convenient to put inside the rucksack with the hose on my shoulder for easy access, than to carry water bottles on the mesh pockets.

Headlamp because it's a night trek.

Sadly, I wasn't able to find any of the two, in either malls.

When I got back home, Nanay told me to call Ace Hardware and ask for those.

Luckily, Ace Hardware in SM Bicutan had an Energizer mini-headlamp. It runs on 2 x CR2032 batteries so I bought a pair, not knowing that there was an included battery in the package.

Okay lang, I'll save it for future use, or bring it along for back-up just in case.

I don't have a bladder yet. A friend said I should go to Conquer at Robinson's Pioneer. It's so far.
