Animal of Choice: Dogs

WHAT IS YOUR ANIMAL OF CHOICE?

ARE YOU A “DOG PERSON” OR A “CAT PERSON” OR A “BIRD PERSON” OR A “REPTILE PERSON” OR AN ANIMAL HATER OR SOME OTHER THING I HAVEN’T THOUGHT OF?

For me, I am a dog person, I love dogs. Most of my life, I never ever had any pets than to have dogs. I remembered when I was 6 years old, we used to own a bird, a parrot. But unfortunately, I don't like it because it is just too much work, although it is very friendly because he learned to talk, but I never find it fun to be with, unlike dog. Every time I sees dogs, I always love to watch and pet them. Hopefully, we can able to find a dog we can afford, but as of now we need some new place to settle down for us before we can able to have a new pet.

Legacy to Listening In

Q1 - Legacy: Three famous people passed away this week. Former Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon died on June 23rd after fighting pneumonia, bone cancer, and other medical problems. Farrah Fawcett, best known for her stint on television's "Charlie's Angels," died on the 25th of June after battling cancer for the last three years. And last but certainly not least, Michael Jackson, regarded by many as the 'King of Pop,' died suddenly on June 25th after suffering cardiac arrest. Each lived storied lives full of highly publicized ups and downs. When thinking about their lives ten years from now, do you think you will remember each more for their entertainment-related accomplishments or their eccentricities?

~Well, I don't think so of the first two celebrities who had recently died but I am sure about Micheal Jackson. People are still talking about him and will be still talking about his death for more months and that's my opinion. For this decade, Micheal Jackson plays as Elvis Presley, people really loved him that much. There is also one famous TV icon too, Billy Mys, famous of his commercial "Oxi Clean" and vinyl shutters, but I don't think so.

Q2 - Listening In: On this date in 1963, President Kennedy visited West Berlin, where he made his famous declaration: "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner). If you could have been in the audience for any previous speech, presentation, or performance, which event would you have attended?

~Well, I would love to listen to to President Kennedy and President Washington too. But, I just rather watch a music concert of Mariah Carey way back when she was still singing love and pop songs. Also, Celine Dion's concert as well.

Q3 - Health Insurance: If your current employer provided a health insurance plan and you suddenly lost your job, would you make it a priority to find new health insurance?

~Well, I think so. People needs a health insurance and I guess, losing a job is one of people's problem of not having an insurance. So, probably this is could be one of my priority.

Q4 - Trust: Most Americans, 75%, don't believe CEO statements surrounding the financial outlook of their companies. What do you think... can CEOs be trusted to tell the truth or are they just as bad as some elected officials who seemingly care more about getting reelected than they do about telling the truth and solving real world problems with workable solutions.

~Well, I don't have a knowledge what's the truth behind it, but if that's the case, well, probably they wanted to be re-elected, just as what some politicians now a days.

Love Hummingbirds

Have you ever seen a hummingbird before? Do they really hum? Well, that’s the first question that comes into my mind when my husband told me about the hummingbird I can see when we go up north this coming Friday. Honestly, I never seen a hummingbird in personal in my whole life and after knowing about it, I was kind so excited to learn more about them. Hummingbird is a type of birds that spend most of their lifetime through migration. Therefore, when seeing a hummingbird it is absolutely a pleasant and sweet feeling. So, I asked hubby if his mom has a bird house that could attract hummingbird at their cabin house up north and he said she does because she loves hummingbird as well and she found them very amusing. So, I was thinking of getting my mother in law a new hummingbird feederthat she can put up to replace her old feeder. Good thing I have found some hummingbird feeders online. Although, it is too late now for me to give it to her since tomorrow we will go up north but I can able to give it to her maybe on her upcoming birthday.

Damage Control and Sense of Humor

Q1 - Damage Control: If you damaged someone else's car in an accident and agree to give them money to repair the damage, would you be upset if you learned they used the money pay for something other than fixing the car?

~Well, I don't really care as long as we have an agreement that they received the money to fix a car, and rather, that is their problem if they never used the money for fixing their car. From the moment, they received the money, it's theirs, and if they do something other than fixing the damage, well, it is not up to me anymore.

Q2 - Sense of Humor: How do you think most people would typically describe your sense of humor: Goofy/Silly, Witty/Clever, Humble/Self-Deprecating, Dry/Deadpan?

~Sometimes, goofy and silly, some circumstances they will say I am clever, maybe when I said something that does not offend anyone else.

Q3 - Wedlock or Deadlock: Fox TV stations in New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa, Phoenix, Orlando and Memphis are planning a six-week test run of a new show titled "Wedlock or Deadlock," starting late-July. The show, according to published reports, features a well-known psychologist and life coach who each week determines whether struggling engaged couples should marry or split up. The couples reportedly share their hopes and fears with the show's host, who then gives them her blessing for marriage or literally tears up their marriage license. Based on this description of the show, would you take the time to watch an episode if it were playing in your local market?

~Well, I guess it could be a good show, since some people might be in the same situation where they can relate to the show. Then, they can able to deter if they continue with getting marry or just split up. I think it will be a good show to watch. I will be looking forward to it.

Q4 - Access Denied: Taking the exact same position as the Bush White House adopted from 2001-2009, the Obama administration this week denied a Freedom of Information Act request seeking access to White House visitor records. According to the American Society of News Editors, disclosing visitor records--which were recently sought by MSNBC--poses no direct harm of any kind. However, according to a White House spokesperson, the administration ought to be able to hold secret meetings in the White House, such as an elected politician interviewing for a Cabinet position or a career diplomat visiting the White House for a discussion on issues that might possibly affect international relations. What do you think... should the White House's visitor logs be made available upon request? Why or why not?

~Well, I don't really care about it because it is not a big deal at all. And why they should be worried though to be in public?

If Life was a Movie?

If your life was made into a movie, what genre would the movie be (drama, action, romance, comedy, adventure, crime/gangster, horror, musical, science fiction, war, western, historical, family-friendly, etc.)?

~Well, it could be a romantic comedy movie because my husband and I are not really a serious type of person, if we were together. Although, we look so serious when we were at the public area, but there are sometimes, that we laughed together because of our thoughts and sense of being funny. We have both the sense of humor that we can sometimes find so amusing. I think this is the best way to say it. And when it comes to my life, my life has been a comedy, I always make my friends laugh because of my sense of humor at any given situation, good thing that don't make fun of me. :)

Hate Mosquitoes?

Do you hate mosquitoes? If you do then you might want to check out more about the new, effective ways to trap them. How? Well, we all know that mosquitoes are hardly to eliminate, therefore, a lot of people during summer time, tried to buy some mosquito’s eliminator and lotion or either sprays to keep these mosquitoes away, but on some circumstances, are they effective?

My husband and I together with our son will be going up north this coming Friday for a 4th of July vacation that we have been waiting for. But, I am so worried as well that mosquitoes might be up there as well that could be a huge problem, especially when we have our 2 year old boy playing around. Spraying some mosquito spray at him could be somewhat helpful but I will never know how long will it take to be effective or is it? We all know that mosquitoes are dangerous because they also carry diseases such as West Nile virus. Therefore, I search online and I have found this website about mosquito magnet and how this mosquito traps works.
Well, now I am so excited to tell my mother in law about it, so we can be safe while enjoying our vacation.
