First of all, I would like to thank those who have visited my blog. I apologize for not posting lately. There are a lot of things at work that really filled my hands.
But anyway, did you noticed that my PR is 8? That can't be. Of course, that can't be. I don't have that great number of visits and my activities here is irregular, too. So, why do you think I have that PR 8? Anybody who had the same experience as this?
I will be posting pictures in a few days. :)

Is It Fine To Help The Mother Dog In Their Delivering Puppies?
They say that we are not supposed to help the mama dog in delivering their puppies? That they don't feel comfortable having anybody around while delivering. Some say it would take the delivery longer than it ought to be when somebody is around. But I have proved it wrong through my own experience. Our labrador-mix mama dog gave me the sign that she needed me in delivering her puppies. Just why I said that? The night that she felt that she was due soon, she really went through hardship just to be able to come upstairs and stay right in front of our door.
We noticed that she was restless then. She look like she was about to poop. Then we understood that it was her time. We were just silently observing her moves. We left her to herself. About an hour after, we checked her. We found two puppies lying on the floor. They look dead. At once, I decided to help her. I tore off the placenta, cleared the nostrils to be able to breath, wipe the puppies off with a clean cloth and place the puppy on top of the mama dog's tummy for warming.
We are so happy and inspired that all seven of them were alive and healthy. And three months after, we have to give away five of them. It was a sad moment for us, but we are only room boarders. We are not supposed to have a dog. But our landlord is kind enough to allow us to have two.
And by the way, It is their birthday today. October 15th. There are only six in the pictures because the other one was not around by that time. He was somewhere with his mama. :)
(The picture didn't turn out the way I want it. :( ) I had somebody scan it, and it turn out to be like that. How should I fix this? Anybody who had encountered this, please tell me what to do.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Sukkoth
On this day, October 13th...
In Jerusalem, five days after the celebration of Yom Kippur, they celebrate a feast called "Sukkoth" it is called the "Feast of Tabernacle". It is also called "Feast of Booths". This is observed by the Jews. It begins in the sunset of October 13th up to sunset of October 21st.
The word "sukkot" in Hebrew means plural of "sukkah" which means "booth" or "hut". During this holiday, they build a temporary hut or booth in which they will eat their meals. They are not supposed to do anything other than to eat and to relax or sleep for the entire holiday.
Four species of plants are celebrated with Sukkoth, etrog (citron), lulav (date palm), myrtle and willow. On the last day of Sukkoth, the yearly cycle of reading the Torah starts in festive surroundings.

International Frugal Fun Day
Every first Saturday in October, some place celebrated the "Frugal Fun Day".
If you dig deeply, you will find resources that describe this day as "International" Frugal Fun Day, and "National" Frugal Fun Day. However, we found no documentation supporting the International or National tags. We did find plenty of reference to the intent of this day.... to have fun "on the cheap".
The word "frugal" in www.dictionary.com means; economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful; entailing little expense; requiring few resources; meager; scanty.
Frugal Fun Day is a day to enjoy fun activities that are free (or very inexpensive). If you use your imagination, the ideas are endless. Go on a bike or walking hike. The Fall leaves are on display. Have a picnic in the park, or your back yard. Invite some friends or neighbors over for a garage party and dance. Go fly a kite. Pull out the those old board games or puzzles that you have stored in the basement. Play cards with some friends.
Here's wishing you a very Happy Frugal Fun Day.
Origin of Frugal Fun Day:
This special day was created by Shel Horowitz, author of The Penny-Pinching Hedonist: How to Live Like Royalty with a Peasant's Pocketbook. We strongly suspect Frugal Fun Day was created, in part, to promote the book. Regardless of the reason for creating this day, we see nothing wrong with having a little inexpensive fun.

Look Who's Blogging?
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Blogging is growing in society. It is a fad. To some it is a craze. It is widespreading internationally.
The word "blog" is a short term for the word "web log". It is an online journal. It is the activity of creating and maintaining a blog (which is a special kind of web site) or several blogs by making posts and uploading images and so on.
Personally, I enjoy blogging. It makes me active mentally and enables me to share what i learn and what I feel. Blogging is fun!
Happy Blogging!

Eid al-Fitr
Today is a National Holiday here in the Philippines because of this "Eid al-Fitr" events. It is the "Festival of Breaking the Fast."
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which in 2009 occurs on Sept. 21. Literally the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At Eid al-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family.
A sense of generosity and gratitude colors these festivities. Although charity and good deeds are always important in Islam, they have special significance at the end of Ramadan. As the month draws to a close, Muslims are obligated to share their blessings by feeding the poor and making contributions to mosques.
Eid al-Fitr!

I hate Mondays!
It's Monday again. As usual, I found my day having hard time dragging myself out from the bed to the bathroom. After taking a bath, my cozy bed lures me back on it. Arriving at the workplace, everybody is late. (Oh yeah, it's Monday.)
I hate Mondays. I work from Mondays to Saturdays. On Sundays, I have my Children's Ministry on daytime, and also, of course, going to church on late afternoon. Getting back to my room at about 9:00 p.m. Day's end.

"Sells Like Popcorn"
People around the world have their eyes on the TV news report on this one particular US issue . When I turned on the radio early in the morning, they are talking about the same thing. The preacher in the Sunday service was talking about the same thing. Newspapers are talking about the same thing.
The impact of the wrangling bailout plan was felt across the board, from equities, to credit markets, to the energy pits, where oil prices edged lower as doubts cropped up over whether the plan to prop up the financial system and broader U.S. economy would be pushed through.
Tonight, the two presidential candidates has agrees to debate. All of us are have questions, and we just hope that some of them will be answered tonight. Let's all see what will happen then...

The Future Belongs To The Children
Islamabad Marriott Hotel Bombing
Another suicide bombing was in the news this morning. Very tragic and depressing.
Al-Arabiya television said the group that claimed responsibility for the attack demanded an end to Pakistani-American cooperation against the militants and a halt to U.S. military operations in Pakistani tribal regions.
"This was a heinous act that was committed by terrorists who have no interest in anything other than maiming and killing innocent civilians. And we're going to step up our efforts and work with the Pakistanis to do what we can," State Department spokesman Robert Wood said.

We often heard this qoute: "The future belongs to the children." I can't help but wonder what kind of future these children of today will have. And what kind of person they will become if their environment is chaotic, violent and full of hatred. The planet's natural ecosystem are being severely degraded.
One of the rights of children is "the right to play". IPA/USA qouted; "Play empowers children and reaffirms their individual right to develop at their own pace."
