Las Vegas

I knew I LOVED YOU before I met You!

I am a homebody. My life’s routine are mainly work, home, take care of my mom, stand by my better-half, cuddle with my cat, pray to keep my breast cancer at bay, sleep and repeat. Other than from my native country, I have not traveled outside the USA but someday, somehow would really love to see The Vatican.

…then life unravels yet another wind of change—I lost my Dearest Mother. I had to see a grief counselor for the first time ever. One of her advice to try to move on from my loss, no matter how painfully hard and slowly I go was to do things I love…so though I am not really that social, I did start being active again at my social media accounts, mostly at my Instagram.

I was also watching the KSNV news one day, when they featured The Las Vegas Farm, Barn Buddies Rescue where you can go see and feed the all rescued animals. One thing about me is that I LOVE ANIMALS especially Cats. I did do volunteer work in California years back but not here…so it’s absolutely a sign for me to go…

The sun’s shining, crispness in the air as I approached The Farm’s entrance when surprisingly, I got greeted bay a CAT! My heart immediately warmed-up, filled with love, happiness and joy!

You had me at MEOW

I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU: The moment I’m grateful for the most is when God planned that your path is destined to cross mine! Full video @YouTube link https://www.youtube.com/shorts/htXWxNNiCI8 and more videos @TikTok, @Instagram @TuffCatnet / FindingNirvana.net

Among the things I thank God for most, is the love He gave me for animals. My heart would be emptier, and life would be less without them.

LAS VEGAS: You are what my SINS enclose

LasVegas is re-opening today and during this phase 2, some casinos, movie theaters, gyms, bars, retail stores and many other types of businesses are allowed to re-open. However, that does not mean that I’ll be meeting Big Kahuna again in the heart of Sin City any time soon...sigurista ako eh! 😬

LAS VEGAS HIGH ROLLER isn’t rollin’

A saddening thought: Something so small, our naked eye can’t even see it, located across an ocean in a place I’m sure most Americans would have a hard time locating in a map would have such a profound and negative impact to somebody here in Las Vegas.

Just imagine a month ago a housekeeping staff of one of the big hotel casino happily making beds, creating towel art, neatly arranging miniature bath soaps and carefully lining up small shampoo and conditioner bottles for the guest bathrooms confident that putting in a good day’s work will guarantee her a paycheck to put food on the table, pay rent and maybe some leftover cash for a movie with her hubby.

Fast forward to today and this little thing from across the ocean is wrecking havoc here in the desert, ruining lives and livelihoods; and now picture our housekeeping staff member in line at the unemployment office, anxiety and uncertainty clearly evident in her face, future plans put on indefinite hold, a thousand things racing in her head. What just happened? Multiply this story tens of thousands and you realize how fragile our lives are, how intertwined and interlaced our existence is-and the end is not even in sight. Truly saddening. 😢

Even when I walk through the darkest “LAS VEGAS “ valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. ~ Psalm 23:4
