Helping man's best friend

Day 26

Even though I've said on the very first post that this is not a diary and is not intended to be one, today's post will be a bit diary-ish. But first a bit on my thought process to write on the blog: There's none. My days go by as usual but certain events may trigger a memory that would be worth to write about and today it was my friend's Peter birthday mainly because he is a really close friend of mine and is worth highlighting the attributes and the quality of person, he is BUT that won't be today.

Today was fairly straightforward but after work I had a couple of errands to do buy some specialty coffee for my little brother and parents before my visit to DR and pick up a Steam Deck a friend lent me.  After I got back home, I noticed this kid and some ladies trying to catch a huge dog I offered to help and they told me that they are not the owners, that the dog seems lost, and they don't live in the community and were very worried for the dog.

I hesitated a little at the beginning because the one thing I could do, but was worried about, was to bring the dog home and search for the owners but as you already know, I have cats and is not like I could keep the dog around for long especially considering I don't even have suitable food for a dog. With the help of one of the neighbors I was able to bring the dog to my garage and went out to do some rounds around the community to see if anyone was looking for a dog. 

I had no freaking luck, no one was looking for a dog, I was able to catch up with security and no one had contacted them about a lost dog either and to top it off.  On the community chat no one was looking for a lost dog and on Ring app I had no luck either. I didn't have any other option than to call the police for assistance, that for me was the last resort because I didn't want the dog to end up at the animal shelter, but my hands were tied.

But long story short, the police officer came home we talked a little about the dog and helped him to take put the dog on the police car.  Thankfully less than an hour later, the police contacted me telling me that the owners were found, and the dog was happily returned to them.  Thanks a lot Officer Eduardo Punyed, your assistance was greatly appreciated.

Procrastination 🥲

Day 71 I'll start by saying that I'm going back to the original schedule of posting at night instead of the following morning and that's starting tonight. The main reasons I've been skipping late posting in the last few days come down to two reasons: 1- Being extremely tired after some stressful days that included a bit of insomnia, dinners out, heavy gym, unmindful cats, etc which left me a it drained to sit on my computer. 2- Procrastination - 😐 You see, I know that I could have made it work if and only if I would have put a bit more effort but, since I could make it the next day in early hours, then why not? In the past I've always struggled a bit with procrastination but thankfully I've never had any serious issue with it but I know I could do better. You may say "but this is just a blog, is not important or anything, why you think this deserves the effort?" Well, if I don't show the proper respect it deserves, then who will? I put being tired

A Dominican Maestro!

Day 99 Out of all the great artist that have come from the Dominican Republic, no one is bigger or better than the Maestro Juan Luis Guerra and the reasons are abundant.  For the uninitiated, JLG is a musician with about a 40-year long career with mainly Latin rhythms like Merengue and Bachata but also covering Salsa, guaracha, rock, blues and many other. But what makes him amazing?  Well, for me, it all comes down to his craft: the music and lyrics are just amazing, is like a poem made into music and he is not afraid of touching all types of topics: love, pain, breakups, politics, religion, happiness, sadness, joyfulness, sorrow... basically sings of anything at any given time but I do have to highlight that love is his main topic. He is a highly respected musician in the industry and one of the biggest latin american stars who has won many Grammy awards, and is currently the leader of most Latin Grammy awards so far with 28 awards.  Even though is loathe by many back home (due to mos

Pi Day

Day 72 As mentioned a few days ago, Pi Day was upon us, and well, today is Pi Day.   Pi Day has been an annual celebration of the constant Pi since 1988 and is observed on March 14 due to the typical date format in the USA (month/day).   The main purpose is to highlight the maths and lay down a bit of knowledge about the constant to the general population. It is obseved in many different ways by having discussions, eating/baking pies due to the words pi and pie being homophones and the particularity that pi has to do with circles, and pies tend to be circular in shape, some schools have competitions where students compete on who can recall pi the longst, etc. Initially I started observing this day back in 2012 when I became aware of its existance, and I just "celebrate it" by acknowleding the its existance on a simple facebook post that read "Happy Pi Day!!" and that first time it didn't get much tracktion at all, just one friend "liked" the post
