Livin' in a Pupsta's Paradise

Yep, the title was inspired by Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise.

 

Back when I was younger, I remember this song for the movie Dangerous Minds, but with the advent of that Sonic the Hedgehog the movie trailer being released just a day ago, younger kids will remember that song for that Sonic movie. LOL Almost sad that way...

 

Truth be told, when I was younger, I was more of a Nintendo guy (before going to Sony and then finally finding a home with PC gaming) than a Sega guy, but the way they designed that Sonic for the movie... is... the... stuff... of nightmares.

 

Anyways! I digress! This is about the pup! Not Sonic!

 

I had a short vacation with my family in Pangasinan, where we get to visit my grandmother (lovingly named Inang) from my mother side. It was also their town fiesta and my mom's high school reunion. It so happened that a few of her siblings also visited from the States, so it was also a mini family reunion for all of us (though I still suffer from social anxiety, so I hardly talked, or if I did, very awkwardly lol).

 

Wanted to do my usual street photography, but ironically, even with the fiesta, there wasn't so much action on the streets on that time I went out to photograph - guess it didn't help that it rained heavily an hour before I went out.

 

So, I made due with a few shots I got when I explored the nearby plaza and around my Inang's home and neighborhood, starting with this puppy!
