When LUCK saved the day....

How many times have you witness a scene from a wildlife video between the predetors and prey encounters that always ends up in a big dinner party with the prey on the menu....?


Well, i'm sorry to tell you that this one is an exceptional case ha-ha....! This is the day when luck had saved the prey....!



By the way, this is not in australia.... You are not seeing meat-eating koalas chasing a mob of bow-horned kangaroos here, this is africa not the 80's band but the kingdom of Simba ha-ha....!


I call this "the dog that climbed-up the tree to bite me" kind of a situation....! How can you possibly escape a moment of hopelessness like this....?! Probably i will just start praying na sana ay dumating na si Tarzan & Jane kasama pa si cheeta to save my kaastigan hu-hu....!


Anyways, i found this clip in u-tube today actually it was featured on the 7:30 news tonight and i thought why not share this with all my blog-friends he-he....!


This is a spectacular story of life's uncertainties.... Though not everyone ends up as fortunate as this buffalo calf, it's very clear that in every struggle, burdens and a constant hail of trials that we encounter in our lives no matter how hard it is, there's always a glim of light and a narrow opening towards a fertile green field and a new beginning.... Naks a ha-ha....!


So grab a bowl of popcorn and watch this short clip na pinaghirapan ko pa'ng hanapin sa u-tube ha he-he....! Enjoy....!

Nancy who....?

Before anything else, today is a special day for me why....? Because today i've reached the 100th entry in my entire blog-life, woooohoooo....!

That only shows how slow i am in updating my blog he-he....! Actually i should've already published more than a hundred and fifty entries by now kaya lang medyo tamad kasi ako e ha-ha....! Should i throw a party here....?! Wag na lang, magastos at medyo short notice baka walang pumunta he-he....!

Anyways, on with our topic proper.... Mel had informed me today that the movie The Simpsons is now showing in some cinemas dyan sa pinas.... Medyo inggit nga ako pero talagang busy lang sa work kaya kahit na ipalabas man yan dito, there's no way that i will be able to watch that on big screen....

Since our topic is about The Simpsons, i would like to share with you something i know about simpson's character voice-overs.... Did you know that Bart Simpson's voice is done by a female voice-over artist....? Yep! That's right, a lady doing the role as the voice of Bart Simpson astig ano....!?

I couldn't hardly believe it myself until i've really seen her in a local talk show saying a few lines using Bart Simpson's voice....! She even did Ralph's and Milhouse's voice too....! So now, here she is, eternally known as the voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright is one of the most prolific voice actors of her time.

Born in an Ohio suburb in the late '50s, she grew up doing community theater and watching cartoons. In her last year at Ohio University, she got a chance to meet Hanna-Barbara voice actor Daws Butler. Better known by his character names Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, and Quick Draw McGraw, Butler suggested she transfer to U.C.L.A. and start going to auditions.

By 1980, Cartwright had her first professional job as the voice of Gloria on Richie Rich. With her new Screen Actors Guild card, she also got normal acting roles on the TV movie Marian Rose White, the feature film Twilight Zone: The Movie, and several television guest appearances.

Her voice was heard as multiple characters on beloved '80s cartoons like My Little Pony & Friends, Pound Puppies, Space Ace, and Galaxy High School. Eventually Cartwright started to get singular roles like Kip on ShirtTales and Daphne on Snorks. In 1987, she auditioned for the role of Lisa Simpson on The Simpsons but she landed the role of Bart instead.

After a few years of shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show, The Simpsons got its own time slot on FOX in 1990. Cartwright won an Emmy and an Annie award for her work, which has expanded to several other Springfield youths including Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, Milhouse, Kearney, and Nelson.

While still working on The Simpsons, she also did voices for Animaniacs, Goof Troop, and The Critic, as well as numerous short-lived cartoons.... Cartwright has also found time to perform the one-woman play In Search of Fellini and write her autobiography My Life as a Ten-Year-Old Boy.

In 2001 she took over for Christine Cavanaugh in the role of Chuckie on Rugrats while working on Rufus on Kim Possible and launching her Internet animation company, SportsBlast. Her voice can also be heard on the web cartoons The Kellys and Timberwolf.

Evan all must see....!

I've already recommended this movie to everyone though i haven't seen it yet and i guess i will also miss the cinema version of it too because of a very hectic work schedule at the moment, nevertheless i will be happy to hear from your own experiences guys so please do share them with me okay he-he....!

Being biblical thus made it educational as well in a more easier to digest manner.... I can also tell that it is going to be a tremendously funny movie.... Imagine that portion of the movie trailer where he was removing his nose hair and snorting-in the shaving cream afterwards, yaiwks kadiri ha-ha....! Disgustingly funny too he-he....!

Judging by the way the trailer goes, i recommend that this is a must to see movie and an absolute throne snatcher for me....! Bruce Almighty was a great success before and i really love it, in fact i was still watching it long after the popularity of the movie has already faded-away and all topped-up by piles-after-piles of newbies....!

I can't forget how i've choked-up laughing at that part where Bruce Nolan a.k.a Bruce Almighty (Jim Carrey) using his divine power to mock Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) during his first day as an anchorman in a local Buffalo TV station....

Anyways, enjoy watching Evan Almighty and i hope that i will have a chance to watch it on big screen too.... Inggit naman ako sa inyo he-he....!

8 Random Things About Me....

I was tagged by Darlene ages ago he-he....! This one is a soooo very late reply, sorry for that Darlene....! I was just so busy with lots of things lately that i've almost forgotten about all these....! Anyways, here i am again with my answer to your meme....

The Rules: Each person should post the rules first before their lists, then they should write 8 things about themselves, tag and link 8 other people and then let those people know that they had been tagged so they will know what to do.... Darlene had tagged me this "8 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME" meme. So heres my answer to that Darlene....

1.) I really don't know what to write in here.... But i'll try anyway he-he....! I grew-up in a simple family, i have four siblings and i'm the eldest.... As a kid i was so full of initiative in whatever it was that i'm interested in mainly hobbies like pets, toys, and gadgets.... Maybe it's because we're very much aware that our parents were not that capable financially to give us what our friends parents can give to them so we improvised our own thingies....

2.) As i grew-up i got more interested in drawings and sketching that my mother always reminded me not to wash my hands with cold water to avoid getting arthritis, which is true when i thought of her point now he-he....! Imagine me holding a pencil ang sketch book the whole day....!

3.) My parents are both public school teachers and i realised how tough it was then, even tougher than going to school itself because we were having breakfast, lunch, and dinner with our teachers at home ha-ha....! That's why my childhood life was all school and less of the home activities....! The learning process was always on the extreme constantly then, but hey it made me the tougher person that i am now naman ha-ha....!

4.) I was a kid with a thousand stored faces of relatives in my brain he-he....! My life was orbitting in a relative related events sort of environment.... I don't know why, maybe it was the trend during those days.... Whenever we were asked to prepare or dress-up, we knew right away that we are going to a cousin's birthday, uncle's wedding, grand's funerals, or maybe visit a dentist....! You guess right, the dentist is also a relative ha-ha....!

5.) College days was a bit tougher for me because i get to complete a course that i didn't even wanted to take.... All my life i was wishing to be an architect one day but it didn't happened.... Not because my parents cannot afford it, but because there wasn't an offer of that course in my city and i thought to myself that it would be very hard for my parents to support my expenses, boarding house, food, etc if i did studied far away from home so i was left without any other choice but to take anything in the field of engineering at least....

6.) I was not good at school though, i was just an average jack in all aspect and i felt bad for myself sometimes seeing what other wiz-classmates had achieved.... There were even times that i find it hard to get up from a fall and dust myself off, but my will to keep-on was always there to pick me back on my feet again.... I have a very special quality by the way, i'm an early bird kind of a person.... I love doing things that no one had ever done before, sort of a kilometer-dash-ahead attitude....! That's why i was already working and earning (while studying) long before those achievers had even graduated and started to look for jobs he-he....! When all the others had stopped to enjoy the scenery, i continued a few steps forward and checked the horizon up ahead....! Ika nga unahan lang yan at hindi pagalingan ha-ha....!

7.) I have a very simple wish in life, to be able and more capable to provide 'coz i reckon i haven't done enough yet, to love and be loved in return, and to be surrounded by the people that i love forever.... I also wish that one day i can stay for good in pinas and look after my parents specially my father (he's my favorite) until the last moments of their lives....

8.) At the moment with just my handful of earnings i'm trying to setup something in pinas that will help me fulfill my dreams which is to stay for good in pinas and i'm proud to tell you that i've already started a few successful steps....! =)

Now i would like to pass this tag to : Redlan, Julai, Nice, Mommychi, Cm, Zj, Tina, and Panyang.... Take your time guys, this is not rush....

End of waiting....!

Just an update on my gigantic angels, at last the female of the pair laid around 50 translucent eggs....! Woooohoooo....! I'm sorry that i'm stuck with the fish topics for a while because i was just worried about my pair of angels.... Now the wait is over ha-ha....!

Finally i don't need to worry anymore....! I was just worried that the eggs will not be deposited properly on anything that they will decide to stick them on to.... It makes me happy and proud watching them guarding their small territory inside the tank around their new nest....

Hey, you know why my angels are gigantic....? For those who also have angels in their tanks, actually i give them an extra-boost of protein by feeding then bits of frozen minced beef once a week....! That's my cheat he-he....!

I have to move a school of Neon Tetras to another tank too because they make the mother angel nervous and restless that she sometimes turn her aggressions to the male angel mistaken him for an intruder inside their territory....

Bilib din ako sa tatay angel kasi everytime na kakagatin sya ng nanay angel ay binibigay nya ang right side ng body nya para kagatin nito....! Parang sinasabi nyang " heto and right side ko darling, dyan mo na lang ibuntong ang galit mo " ha-ha....! Tuloy ay nagka-scars ang right eye nya, pero alam ko temporary lang naman yun kasi may protective tissue naman sila na naka-coating sa mata nila....

At the moment ay 50 tiny eggs that looks more like the butterfly's eggs ang idinikit nila sa glass sa may back side ng aquarium kasi first time parent lang sila, pero later on sa next batch of laying ay baka madami na.... I'm not sure when did the laying occurred kasi hindi ko masyadong na-check kagabi, it was just today when i look for one of the little lightnings (neon tetras) that i've notice something sticking on the surface of the glass....!

I almost jump in too much excitement when i've realised that those were eggs ha-ha....! Straight away i marked the calendar because this is actually my first experience with a breeding pair of angels so i'm thnking of taking datas of the length of hatching and the growth and feeding behaviours of the fries....

I don't know how are they going to feed their fries but if it is similar to the Discuses, they will also shed their old layers of skin and that will be eaten by their babies as food for the first 2 - 3 weeks.... Astig di ba....?!

This is what i always tell my friends about keeping a fish tank, it's actually full of fun and excitements....! Now, i'll be busy anticipating something that i haven't seen before which are baby angels ha-ha....! Isn't that exciting....?!

Anyways, i have to stop here for the time being kasi ililipat ko lang muna ang mga little lightnings sa kabilang tank at nagkakagulo na sila sa loob ngayon dahil sa over-protective nanay angel see yous later....!

Picking-up the pieces....

I tried to clock-off as early as possible today from work because i was planing to clean-up my fish tanks after a year long stand still since i've lost few of my fish from an unexpected event.... If you'are familiar with tropical fish, you know what this topic is about....


I have three fish tanks in my apartment for about three years now, two in the living room, and one in my bedroom by the foot of my bed so i can watch it before falling asleep....


Before i went on holiday back to pinas last year they were so bright with colorful tropical fish inside, but disaster happened and i can't quite figure out what went wrong....! I should've done some thinking before leaving that time.... Hindi sana sila namatay....

I'm a lover of big tropical fresh water fish particularly the lovely DISCUS FISH ever since.... This fish when fully grown can reach up to the size of a dessert plate or platito....! I bought my first tank in 2004 from a pet shop nearby, and it was a bit expensive that time, but i've managed to spare some cash for it kasi gustong-gusto ko nga, then i bought another one from a much cheaper store....


In 2005, i went to a pet-expo just out of curiosity, then i found out that there was a discus fish competition going on down stairs so i went down there and to my delight they were selling the tanks complete with all the accessories that was being used for displays for a very cheap price....!


I bought one big tank, but the expo people told me that i have to wait until the show is finish before i can pick it up, but it was worth the buy because it's a lot more cheaper than those tanks sold in the shops....! I should've bought two instead of just one that time....

At the moment, i have three tanks in total and still planning to add one more kung hindi lang sana ako nag-iipon for a more important thing that i'm currently trying to setup in pinas....

Keeping fish is really good, as they seems to brighten-up the house with a lot of good vibes....! I've noticed that when my fish died before, parang nawalan din ng kulay ang apartment ko like bad luck just suddenly happened here, there, and just from nowhere sometimes na talagang nahirapan akong salagin ang mga ito nun....! Or maybe it was just me dahil nabuwisit nga ako dun sa naabutan ko na scene....!


Anyways, let me tell you about my fish tanks.... I probably have the biggest pair of tropical Angel Fish you'll ever see in a home aquarium....! Normally they're as big as a 2 peso coin only in pet shops, but my angels are as big as an adult person's palm ha-ha....! I think it's my tank's temperature that did the tricks, i always keep that in a constant check specially in summer time when the temperature is topping the scales....


The tank's temperature should always stay 28 degrees Celsius (oC) or about 85 degrees Fahrenheit (oF) at all time, that's my opinion kasi they're from the tropics di ba so dapat medyo mainit ang tubig na nilalanguyan nila.... But then in summer time, i have to keep a freezer-full of ice cubes to cool them down by dropping ice cubes in the tanks whenever the water temperature rises a bit higher than the required level.... By the way, those fish in the photos are the DISCUS FISH.... Ang cute nila di ba....?! Those ones are really big....! The top one is the Red Melon, center one is the Ghost Strain, and the bottom one is the Royal Blue Strain....


I have 6 lovely pairs of Discus Fish which are really expensive in pinas, even more expensive than the Arowanas i think.... Discus fish are a fantastic fish to have in your aquariums, you can compare them to a slice of fruit because of their deliciously looking brightly colored, printed body and rounded shape....


Discus fish seems to have their own personalities too, i think they also have their individual unique signature patterns of dots and stripes on their bodies.... I'm just lucky kasi affordable sila dito sa australian standard, though medyo unreasonably expensive pa rin compared to the pinas price converted to dollars....


Anyways, what happened when i was on my holiday last year devastated me so much that i've decided not to keep anymore fish.... I didn't even clean the tanks for a year, but some of the remaining fish proved to be so hardy surviving my harshness until i came back from hibernation to pick-up those broken pieces once again.... It was a tough situation for them i reckon, living in darkness for a month....


Nakalimutan ko kasing i-turn off ang mga water filters before going holiday.... The water subsided because of evaporation and the filter pumped-out water like a waterfalls kasi mababa na nga ang tubig sa tank nun....! As a result, the weight of the output water hits the water surface and splash back to the lightings causing a short circuit until nasunog na ang cable nya na mabuti na lang pala ay nakasandal sa concrete wall dahil kung hindi ay baka nasunog na rin siguro pati ang unit ko.... So in short ay walang ilaw sa loob ng tank for the whole time that i was away and the fish went on a month starvation dahil sa dilim....!


My neighbors said that there was a black-out but only in our apartment units and the circuit breakers tripped-off....! I didn't told them about the burnt wires and things cause they might complain against my fish tanks if they find out about what really happened....! Now i've learned my lessons so i check my tanks regularly now for some possible repeats of that incident and i've started cleaning and rearranging them as well....


At the moment, i'm more nervous than my pair of expectant Angel Fish ha-ha....! Sooner these breeding pair will have some fry swimming around ( babies ) and i can't hardly wait for that moment to see them swimming alongside their proud mom and dad....! Astig....!

It's your lucky day today....!

I don't really believe in numerology, but today's one is exceptional.... Today is the 7th day, of the 7th month, in the 7th year in 2000....! Whooohooo!


The number is so favorable that a lot of events such as weddings for instance are being scheduled to tie the knot, and exchange vows specially today....


There no guarantee of a match made in heaven though, but who know which couple the lucky spell will decide to fall on to today....!


Wedding ceremonies are soaring as well, much higher than it's highest record ever in a hundred years.... Tama ba yun ha-ha! Just a guess....! Exaggerations ko lang ha-ha....!


Some expectant mothers also even agreed on a caesarean birth just for the delivery to fall in time for today's event, and that i saw on the news today not only another guess there he-he....!


If only i've realised that much earlier, i could've placed a bet on the local lottery too for tonight's draw....! Whew! I've missed-out on that one....! I could be a millionaire tomorrow sana, sayang....!


Never mind, i will have the next chance naman in lets say a hundred years time he-he...! Yes folks, the calendar only renders this kind of fortune once every 100 years that's why it's exceptional and so does the luck that it could bring....! That if you'are really lucky enough to catch it falling out of the sky he-he....! So this could be your lucky day huh....!


By the way, i've posted this entry so that the luckiness and all of these numbers will be stored in my blog forever ha-ha....! Sira, sabi mo hindi ka naniniwala sa numerology ha-ha....!
