I was browsing for fishes on sale. When I saw "BETTA MACROSTOMA FOR SALE!" I was like what's that!? I was super surprised at the tag price. Betta Macrostoma is actually six thousand pesos EACH! Arowana is even cheaper! Of course, curious as I can be, I searched through the web and looked for pictures. I can't believe it. It was a mixed feeling of awe and the thought of it's not worth it. But the more and more pictures I browse. The more I like the fish! hahaha:) I'm officially now addicted to fish.
I wanted to post some pictures but I'm not sure if it's okay since they're not mine but they have watermarks of the owner of the photos.
Anyways, I bought 12 aquariums today! 8 pcs of 4x4x6 and 4 pcs of 8x5x6. I was actually eyeing this for a long time but too busy to go to DLSU to pick it up. Finally, I bought it today after sort of being happy for selling a dog and shipping the puppy to Palawan!!! I was soo happy with my purchase because some of my fishes will have bigger homes now! Yay!:) I'm now thinking of buying the 8 pcs aquarium that could hose 40 bettas in each space. I'm planning to buy it if I start to work so that I can weigh the possibilities of continuing this hobby while working or not.
I'm so happy! I'll try to upload pictures. I'm still owe my vacation blogs. :D Check the pictures of the Betta Macrostoma. I'm sure you'll be amazed somehow. :D

I know I didn't update on my fishes. But I was busy with selling dogs for the moment. I was looking at this fish the other day and her nickname popped out in my head. Meet Lipstick:D
She's really a cutie!
Checking if her lipstick is okay:D
I bought the male last time at cartimar. I really wanted something like that. Honestly, I was unsure if I will buy it or not. But anyways, nandito na eh. I mean, nandyan na eh.

On Luck

I was ordering some stuff for my beloved fishies. I'm running out of supplies and I just need them. Bad luck since the "supplier" suddenly raised prices :( sad. But I think I'm pretty much resourceful and we'll see if my idea works.
Anyways, around last year. Whenever I go to cartimar, I make it a point to check out the fish that I wanted. As much as I wanted to buy it, I don't want to risk it. It costs 1000+. It was opaline in color. (Not sure) I really wanted it. But my practical self tells me not to buy. It costs like an arowana noh! It was really nice.
From my 100-200+ fishes now it's down to more or less 100 (not including newborns). The second batch of fries are placed in the aquarium outside our home and it was really hard to check all the fishes and see their colors. (I used to see it everyday but my dad placed some sunlight protection to lessen algae buildup). Few days ago, I tried to catch some of them just to check out the color and quality. Guess what! I was so happy, I really wanted something like this. Not opalines but at least similar. Opalines are more pearly white in color. Here is a picture of my fish! I'm so happy! I'm starting to reproduce this color and pair since I rarely see them in cartimar.
Anyways, after feeling sad and unhappy about the morning's bad luck. I went to timezone (coz I had to wait for some people to meet at RP) and checked my timezone card. Still have a lot of credits so I tried the catcher game since I remembered the candies. I wasn't expecting anything else. But on my first try. I got this!!!!
I was so surprised and I can't believe my eyes. I felt happy coz I was feeling so down that morning. haha!:) I was sort of laughing at myself coz when I see this plushie, I remember myself coz I have a cough and my nose gets jammed up once in a while this past few days. Hahaha!
I had a job interview and exam today. I was a little ticked off by the fact that she texted us that my schedule is 8am. I arrived at the place before 8 and guess what. 830 pa daw office hours nila. Crap? Another booboo happened but ok lang. We were given tons of test. The first one was a personality test 300 items! Yikes! I was yawning during the test since I slept pretty late last night and mejo troubled sleep pa! nagisging ng mga 4-5 then went back to sleep!
I was asked to return next week for another interview and then I went to RP. Had fun and felt happy:) Don't have to say why:)
Knockout. Pag uwi. did some stuff then after some time, Irested on my bed and fell asleep asap. :D
Anyways, I really like the song by U2 - Beautiful Day.
For those who wanted a pet, kindly comment here or something. I'm selling fishes and dogs.
It's a beautiful day! <3

I will never ever buy from that shop!

I love pets! who didn't know that our home may sound like a zoo when people knew about the number of pets we have. But of course, like people, pets multiply and well, we need to sell some away to make up for the truckloads of dog food we order. (and fish food that I buy) Last week at Cartimar while waiting for my little sister, I tried to look for shops with few supplies of fighting fish for sale and tried to look for the owner so I could sell my extra fishes so maintenance would not be that much of an issue anymore. I only tried two shops, because other shops were on full stock. The first one where our secretary must have bought my fish food from was very masungit. I was hesitant to offer them my fish since I remember in that shop that once we saw a fish on the floor (out of water) and they didn't bother to put it back on the water. MEAN! Well, I just didn't mind that shop since there are at least 10 shops more around the vicinity.
Another shop was very kind and told me his boss' number and told me to come back in the afternoon because his boss is not yet at the shop. Unfortunately, I had to go home. So I called up their boss and asked if she buys fighting fish from breeders and she told me yes! Of course the price exchanges etc. But before we talked about that she told me na sayang kakaorder lang niya ng 50 fishes! sayang nga! But then again, 30 of my fishes are already "reserved" by my shobe's ninang. And no, not for sale. Mabait talaga and the next time I go there, I might as well as buy my fishes vitamins there. diba?
Now, the shop I called this afternoon was located at the mall. Robinson's Place Ermita to be exact. I usually visit this shop whenever I go to RP but their prices are more expensive compared to handyman and cartimar so I never buy from them and if ever I did, I probably did buy once or twice. (Now that I think of it, I think I did buy) I called them. Mahiyain ako usually especially to strangers but I think about my future and of course I want to help sell our dogs as well, I need to do this. I kept their "calling paper" (It was literally a paper, should be calling card) for around two weeks in the hope of getting the courage to call and try to sell. Guess what? I just asked if they can do consignment, or buy fishes or dogs. and the girl just shut me down by saying may supplier na sila. She didn't even ask for the price. The heck? What if I offer 50% off compared to your supplier's price? Well DI WAG! Someday, I will knock your shop out of that mall but building a better and more friendly shop for everone.
Actually, my mom already warned me about masusungit na pet shops. But if you were a good business person, you'd definitely look for goods/pets that would have a competitive price so that the next time you order from your supplier, you could haggle. DIBA? Just like what I did at greenhills when I bought our Wii Fit. I have a "suki" but in order to get the lowest possible price, I canvassed around for the prices of Wii Fit then the last shop I go to is my "suki's" shop and get the best price. Imagine slashing off at least 1500 pesos off the price tag. I think I saved around 2000 pesos compared to going straight to my suki's shop.
I was really annoyed, mad and a little discouraged. But then again, I won't let a stupid person ruin my day just like that:)
