Fyco is a biter?

Our dog Fyco is in fact a mini pinscher dog or a Zwergpinscher in Germany. He’s really one of a kind type of dog. Despite he’s being small he has a huge brain that makes him easily understood whatever things we teach to him. According to my research the meaning of the word pinscher is a biter while the word Zwerg means dwarf. What makes me laugh about the pinscher’s characteristics since they are known as “The King of the Toy Dogs”. Everything I read about miniature pinscher really fits with what Fyco has shown to us now. It’s nice to know that their breed is one of a kind.

Treasure hunting?

What would you do if you accidentally found pieces of different kinds of treasure? Probably the first thing that would strike your mind is you’re going to be rich of course. As I explored the internet today I read some news from BBCNEWS about the discovery of the treasure aging 1, 200 years old. The treasure is composed of 63, 000 pieces of silver, ceramics and gold which believed from the stories of Tang Dynasty emerging since the seventh and 10 centuries.

The fishermen who were living here in the Indian Ocean believe that there were underwater spirits that guards the wreck. In fact the fishermen sometimes were performing prayers and sacrificing animals like goat and spreading its blood everywhere as a sign of offering. We may never know the real reason why this incredible new discovered treasure came from, however there is really the real reason behind this story.

The Rosary; "A Garland of Roses"

As our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrating the end of their Ramadan, the Roman Catholic people on the other hand begins the Rosary. The month of October for Christian Catholic is known as the month of the Rosary. Right exactly at the first day of the month the rosary starts. The rosary was said to be the Latin for “a garland of roses” that made the rosary itself. The rosary on the other hand is composed of four mysteries, and these are the Joyful Mysteries which are recited on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. The Sorrowful Mysteries is recited on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays of Lent. While the Glorious Mysteries which is recited on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays and the Five Mysteries of Light which is recited on Thursdays.

The rosary is best performed by the family as it was said “The Family that prays together stays together”. It is also the sanctuary of almost every Christian Catholic whenever they have hidden problems. It is the best medicine for Christian Catholic who wants to have a peaceful and serene kind of life. Saying the rosary for us Christian Catholic is best to do everyday.

The risks of being upside down

Have you heard about David Blaine? He was not only the talk of the town in the West side but he is also famous all over the world because of his recent incredible stunt. He has just finished his three days up side down stunt to make him known again in Guinness Book of Records. But there are various rumors and news about his incredible stunts, regarding the bad effects on his health. Putting yourself up side down according to Dr. Paul Ford who was known a lecturer in exercise physiology at the University of East London could be risky since the “heart is supported by the effect of gravity”.

When you do the up side down trick, your blood will possibly pooling in the head and lungs which will be the cause of risky problems. In fact, the risk that you can get in lungs is a pulmonary oedema. Another thing, according to Prof. Grossman you may have a stroke if your blood pressure is too high which will possibly lead to early death. And because of this, Blaine never let himself hanging up side down the whole 60 hours. In fact, in every once an hour he had to come down for his medical check up. Being in the stunt of up side down is never advisable to anybody due to its high risks effect. Furthermore, his stunt is no joke which is not advisable for anybody of both young and old.

Behind his dark world gives light to others

Earlier this day, I was watching the entertaining Filipino show Rated K which is anchored by the prominent celebrity reporter Ms. Korina Sanchez. Personally, I loved watching her show since it is entertaining, interesting and you can get some lessons as well out of it. In fact, lately I was really pity on what her show was featured it talks about different kinds of work. But for me the most interesting person the Rated K featured there is the blind old man who was blinded since he was four years old. I just can say that the man is amazing. I forgot the old man’s name but definitely he is blind but surviving. I really salute on the bravery of that old man.

When he was in his adult age he left he’s home and traveled alone in Manila despite the condition that he has. It is because he doesn’t want to depend more on his parents, he traveled alone and reached Manila after riding with the train. He depends more on God that give him confidence in dealing in places he never seen and never been with since he was blind. And because God is too good, Mr. Old blind man survived his life, having a family of his own. At the morning he sell “ice drop” for his family and at the evening he’s selling “ballot”. If someone will buying his stuff Mr. Old man doesn’t even know how much money his customer is given him, so therefore it is considered a risk because of the possibilities that his customers might cheat him. However, despite that he only answered that God will be the one who will judge them.

If we try to analyze, Mr. Old blind man is not just a tough man with self confidence facing the world of life but he is as well one of the best example and role model of those lazy people who are complete but doesn’t want to work at all, but love doing nasty things abusing themselves by doing drugs which leads them to robbery or other illegal activities. Why not think about it? If we want to survive in this world that we are living, start working now and live normally there are many works everywhere but sometimes we are being blinded of laziness which is not good at all.
