My Second Ultrasound

Super excited to know the gender of my baby but sad to say that here in India, they don’t allow gender determination due to the insane fact that they have their abortion laws here. I am really not happy to hear this because I was expecting that we can buy appropriate colors for our upcoming bundle of joy.

Well there is nothing I can do but to accept their stupid law and now I needed to ready baby names for both gender and at the same time buy white, green and yellow colors without any decors denoting the gender if its boy or a girl.

Well it’s not only that I need to wait till I give birth but I am also not going to have my very first baby shower, what a bummer huh! It’s not because of not knowing the gender but because I don’t have my close friends here in this country and they don’t even know what a baby shower is, boohoo! Anyway, I will do my best to conduct a virtual baby shower to my friends.

Well so much for the rant, I need to calm myself by thinking of other ways to make baby happy since what I really long for and pray is to have a healthy and safe pregnancy. Be it a boy or a girl, we pray that baby will be healthy and normal and God fearing above all which we will teach to our future kids the very lessons my parents taught us and that is our faith in God.

Still saving for more dough to buy baby’s needs for the next month but I am also excited to host my very first online contest which is my Baby Shower Contest. I will post here soon what will be the criteria. It is still early to announce the prizes and such since my due date for giving birth if God’s will is month of November 2011.

Condemning Crush Videos Online

It is very sickening to see such people enjoy and have pleasure of killing innocent animals and pets and to think that they pay money just to view such videos. The world is getting evil and evil by the day and people committing such crimes are getting involved at younger ages.

It's Angry Birds' turn to crush, lolz!
angry bird


It is really alarming to hear news with regards to crush videos existing and some people are avid fans to such. Unbelievable cruelty that some psychologist would compare those animals being tortured and killed are such the same for fetish pleasures in sex.

Really weird and strange but the bottom-line is that it is still a sin and people would do anything to get money out of it. There were reports that such video takings happen in the Philippines were allegedly involve were teenage girls wearing stilettos or high heeled shoes or rubber shoes stepping innocent animals to death.

PAWS or Philippine Animal Welfare Society is an organization that helps save such animals. Under RA 8485 which is the animal welfare act of 1998, people who will get caught of abusing animals will be fined and sue although justice needs to be served on an iron rod and we still don’t have such (criminal case) or yet passed by the law makers to condemn crush videos. I do hope they will come up with such a law to punish people who will be involved in such evil act.

Animals do have the right to live also. They are created by God to help man and not to be abused and killed just for the sake of pleasure or for illegal money. I do hope that most countries would be helping also to stop animal cruelty such as these that spreads like wildfire on the internet. The world will be a better place to live in when we do take care of it and nourish it.

If you know anyone who abuses animals, you can reach out telephone numbers of the nearest animal welfare near you or even report this to authorities. Let’s do help each other to stop such crimes being committed to animals and to our beloved pets.

I also once dreamed

Continue the next statement!! Well maybe a lot of you would be saying, I wish I had money, money to spend from what I want in life, money to dream of a good house, a good car, and of a good life. Stability as to most men want and security to what most women want. But basically, what do we really want in life.

THINKING!!!
thinking


There will always be a moment in our life that we sigh and sit down and think of what will happen to our future and the goals that we aim to get or achieve in our life. I for one can’t deny the fact that most of my colleagues do have a career of their own. I just can’t compete with that since we do live our lives in different ways and means and the main thing is that when we try to compare ourselves with someone else, we may just end up frustrated and lonely.

It is free to dream. For me, as long as I have a dream, as long as I have the vision, it makes me want and aim for no matter what the cost will be. Being persistent and having the will power is the motor that will drive you as getting results will be the one to motivate you further.

I do believe that trying is something will that produce results. Being positive is the side kick of it but right motivation and attitude are the key ingredients to have in order to get what you want without getting the risk of compromise.

Did you try to ask yourself these questions? What to they have that I don’t have in order to succeed? Is life really pure luck? Does God really chooses to favor some people and others not? The questions may seem endless and nothing may seem to be solid if you don’t seem to know what is best to do in order how to make it happen.

Once you get an opportunity (as it knocks only once in a blue moon) they say that you need to grab it. But how can you be so sure if it was really the right break for you. Personal conviction will determine as well as to balance the things you wanted when given a time pressure, you need to respond quickly than others. Being slow is not a good sign for getting any result. Waiting for so long and being sluggish ain’t gonna work too. Things will NEVER Happen “IF YOU DON’T WANT TO MOVE AND ACT”.

What are tools you have in order to achieve what you wanted? Do you think it is enough? Are there any other sources that you think will help to solve your problem? These questions may help you determine if you are going to be on the right track once you have a solid answer. Don’t say MAYBE, it will not be good to settle futures if you are not that sure of what you are doing.

The challenge is still out there. The quest is still going on. All of us need to strive hard in this so called LIFE. What makes you happy will determine if you have handled those issues in life confidently.

Spell It to Me One More Time

I know back home when you place such an advertisement with wrong spellings you get a lot of criticisms not only from your customers but for passers by. It seems that spelling should always be corrected and they will really remind you to change it.

Well I guess not from here to where I am now. India is a place where there’s a lot of variety, rich in culture and diversion and people you meet just don’t mind if your grammar is correct or even your spelling, why? Well it’s because not all people here can understand English.

Who wants some Straightening and Hair highlighting here?!!How about that laser cut, wow!
Photobucket


Sometimes I go to a local store and there I would try to speak simple English, I still needed to use some sign language. Wait a minute, I am not saying they are deaf, what I mean is for example I wanted to buy eggs, I would say can I buy two eggs, then the vendor would not understand, jaws are dropped, eyes looked bigger and will speak back to you in their local language.

Who wants to jog with me in this Park?
Photobucket


In short, we cannot understand each other, so what I do is I would point out the egg that I wanted to buy or signal them what I want. Now with regards to spelling, even if the restaurant looks big and elegant if the spellings in their banner or ads are wrong, they would never change it, nobody cares to correct and even if you tell them, they won’t mind it at all.

I don't know is this Italiano? Ristorante?
Photobucket


I had some time taking pictures of the so called spelling blunders and I will still try to find my other photos in the closet called files. I did travel from places and try to capture some of these and please people, this is just for a representation of my topic and not to humiliate a race since I am not a racist and never will be.

I don’t have any intentions to ridicule their establishments or so since I have no means of being misinterpreted here. Besides, their signs have been OUTSIDE the public for ages so they won’t mind me if I shared it here I guess. We can have some fun time as we go our way and this was just another moment or quest for spelling hunt nothing more and nothing less. Hope to add more in the future, so sit back, relax and enjoy life because it is indeed beautiful.
