National Dog Day!

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:20:12 +0000

National Dog Day is a big day for those who are very fond of dogs. I guess I can say that I am one of them, because ever since I was a kid, we already have a lot of pet dogs. I have grown up with them, some died of old age, and some just passed away due to sickness. Some of our pet dogs are still alive until now.

Honestly, I have never celebrated the ‘National Dog Day’ before, nor am I aware that there is even such. Looks like I have been missing out on a lot, no wonder why most dog shows and exhibits are always done during this month. It is only now that I have realized it coz I have never really paid much attention to it before.

At least now I know that every August 26 is ‘National Dog Day’

Astro Boy Shirt

Yeah! That’s Astro Boy, the old school japanese animated version. He is one of my favorite characters. I designed this Astro Boy vintage shirt myself too. What do you think about it?

When we were young, my uncle bought me and my cousins Astro boy merchandise, from shoes, school bags, notebooks with Astro boy picture covers, caps and shirts. For me and my cousins, he is one of the coolest, just like Voltes 5, Gundam and transformers. Even now that I am an adult, I am still an Astro boy fan. I like his character because even if he is an Aritificial Intelligence robot, he has a heart, and that’s what makes him different. Sometimes he is even more human than the real humans, who would rather do crimes in the society.

Finally, Astroboy is coming to the big screen soon. I can’t wait to watch the movie. Although the Astro boy in the movie looks a bit different from the original character, I still like it because it is still Astro boy.

How well does your dad know you?

How well does your dad know you? Does your dad have you all figured out — or does he have you all wrong?

Those questions caught my attention and so I’ve decided to take the quiz and here is what I got for the result:

Your Dad Has You All Wrong!

“Sometimes dads and kids have trouble communicating. Is your dad too busy with his own life to pay attention to what’s going on in yours? Or do you value your privacy so much that you shut him out on purpose? Whatever the reason, it seems like your dad’s impression of you is way off base. If you want to give him a sense of what you’re really like, try opening up a bit. Tell him about your day, and ask about his. Right now, your life is a mystery to your dad — and his life is probably a mystery to you — but that can change anytime.”

Oh well, he just really got me all wrong and I don’t think it will ever change, unless otherwise I surrender to his will, which is the complete opposite of what I really want in life. Some things never change, and I guess my relationship with my dad is just one of them.

Scents and Senses

Scent and senses. Scents stimulates your senses. If you have noticed, scents widely affect our senses and emotions. When we smell something nice, like the lightest scent of your favorite cologne for instance, you immediately have this feeling of warmth and familiarity. It even brings back memories or thoughts that you have unknowingly associated that certain scent with. Just like how the smell of a certain food reminds you of home.

Odorprinting is the natural mechanism in both animals and humans wherein you are able to identify a certain individual based on their unique “signature” scent. This ability is usually used by animals to haunt their food, or to identify certain people or chemicals. Ever wondered how sniffing dogs find those criminals, and the drugs, or even the bombs planted. Humans aren’t using this ability as much as animals do, but still we have this thing for scents.

Sometimes you even get surprised how scents remind you people, like how your cappuccino cologne reminds you of having coffee with your friends, or the sweet smell of a women’s perfume reminds you of your mom, and it makes you feel safe. Or how the strong scent of a musk reminds you of your strict dad or mentor, and makes you feel nervous at times.

Scents, senses, emotions….

Life is all about Taking Risks

Taking risks doesn’t mean you’re reckless, it simply mean you are prepared to face the challenges and possible circumstance of the decisions that you make. Nothing is going to happen in your life, if you don’t take risks. You stay on the safe side, on your comfort zone, but you never get to discover the answers to all your what ifs and what might have beens.

When you are lying in bed and about to leave this world, you start looking back at the things that you have done and achieved in life, only to realize that you have been missing all the fun, and the best things in life, simply because you were to afraid to take a risk.

There’s no such thing as a sure thing in this life. Even the most successful businessmen achieved what they have achieved because they dared to take risks, guided only by gut feel. Some do research and feasibility studies, but they still take risks, calculated risks.

How about you? Have you taken that one step towards your dream? Are you ready to risk leaving your comfort zone to take things to a whole new level?
