The new love of my life.. Barney!

               Having a pet might be the most exciting thing in a child's life, I know for me it was, and it still is. While for some people it means having an adorable furry animal to show off, for others its a means to kill loneliness.


               For me, however, the reason I brought Barney in my life some 5 months ago, is completely different. Last year in our biology book, in the chapter Heredity, there were the pictures of some guinea pigs and that made me do some research on them, for they are extremely adorable! After looking at some pictures that melted my heart, I stumbled on something that broke my heart. 

               I always knew about animal abuse but it never affected me because for me my animals are family members. But in the big world, the reality is horrible! I found that over 100 million animals – mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds, among others – are killed in U.S. laboratories for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing every year. Yes, i know products need to be tested before being used by human beings because, yes, we are that important as compared to the poor animals, but what is the excuse for keeping them in such bad conditions?!



(Barney's name is inspired by HIMYM +Maheemah Sonia Bokhoree )
            I remember the day I went to take Barney from the pet shop, that condition in which he was kept was so bad! So, this is really the reason I decided to bring the most adorable guinea pig in my life, Barney! It was a way for me to contribute in reducing animal abuse. Its little but I have the satisfaction that I saved at least one animal for poor conditions of living.

               Barney is now probably the most loved member in my family! He has made me reponsible in a lot of ways and brought me so much happiness!
               The point is that animals are defenceless against human beings. So, adopt an animal if you can, treat them as well as you can and remember that they are also parts of our world, maybe not as intelligent or modernised as human beings, but important nevertheless!

If a guy stares at you for a long time while smiling does he like you?

There's this guy at my work who I've been starting to get to know better, and I've noticed that every time he sees me he always gets this big smile on his face and he stares at me all the time. He has this look in his eyes that I can't really explain but it seems like he's fascinated or dreamy. Plus I'll be doing something and I'll look over at him and catch him looking right over at me, and he just smiles and I smile back. Today as he was leaving work I saw him from a distance but I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to shout across the parking lot, and he just developed this big smile while looking right at me, and I couldn't help but smile too. Then he came over and we talked a little before he left (he seemed nervous and he's kind of dorky, but I think it's cute) I don't know, I just feel like he stares at me just a little longer than any other person. I was wondering if this could mean he likes me?

Comparing the lifestyles of celebrities and ordinary people

Disney’s TV Show Hannah Montana depicts the female protagonist’s choice of leading an ordinary life despite being a celebrity. The show fluidly walks us through the distinct lifestyles of a celebrity and that of an ordinary person in terms of their set of values, ways of life, activities and attitudes. Whether celebrities and ordinary people are truly different would require a close diagnostic. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing celebrity and common man’s lifestyles is luxury . From the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from politicians to business tycoons, the mantra “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” seems to be painted all over the walls that frame celebrity life. Because of the power and extraordinary amount of wealth they have, celebrities live a life that the normal man can only dream of. For instance, with real-estate assets worth more than just a few million dollars across the world, celebrities have better vacation options than an ordinary

Because being honest and being frank are two poles apart!

   *I have been meaning to write this since 3 weeks now.* I wonder why people take it for granted that they can do anything to you and say anything to you! Honestly, how can people be that honest?! I don't get it! Now, just so that I get over this- we had rather just start! , I think that each one of us has been frank at least once in our life!  Frankness broadcasts itself as a means for people to soothe their inability to contain their comments.  Because want it or not- Frankness in comparison to honesty is a bad thing. Basically because being frank hurts the object and makes the subject feel good, whilst honesty-well honesty is good for both! Being frank is a stupendo fantabulously fantastic thing for many of us. It's been for me. Mainly because it allowed me to believe that I existed and it made me feel good- it made me feel good because I could put my opinions forward. But to be honest, I don't it's been the best thing to do!  Frankness hurt
