It's all about PETS!!!

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.

James Herriot

I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it.

Kirsty Gallacher

Do not make the mistake of treating your dogs like humans or they will treat you like dogs.

Martha Scott

“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”

APRIL FOOL'S DAY

As I woke up in spring, I'd see your face

Smiling back at me in a shapeless haze

just in a wink of an eye, you were gone

I came running down the hallway still none.

As the tide rose, a thunderous voice out stand,

“Why do you always keep hurting this little hand?”

“Could you stop it?” and it took me by surprise;

When the car says “broom broom broom”, it'll suffice

Came down the rain and washed the scorpions out;

There came the sun glowing yellow and bright.

Pink roses and purple daffodils sprout

Over the vast fields, near the river site.

The light constantly as I bound my way

Carrying this heavy load, I'm gonna fly away

“Never refuse to be average always soar high”,

“Never give up”, that's what he taught with a sigh.

Now, I'm lying in the bed staring the stars

continue dancing in the space of scars

While going along the sounds and rhythm of life;

Imagination's still the mother of all “F” ups.

What's GENUINE HAPPINESS?

        Life is a gift from heaven's above. We must accept it with all our hearts but why do most people just ignore their lives and live miserably? Or else commit suicide? Maybe, they don't know the genuine meaning of HAPPINESS. That is happiness is a feeling of pleasure, contentment and satisfaction. When we feel happy, we are satisfied that something is right or has been done right. We also feel happy whenever our needs and desires are being carry through. But how can we achieve happiness? Can we go through our lives without happiness?

         According to David McNally, we can live life fully and be happy by following these steps. First, “life is an adventure; we must dare it”. We necessarily know how to take risk on whatever it may be. At least, we get to try our best and take the challenges with no hesitations. Second, “life is a mystery; unfold it”. Each of us should open up and unfold that something, nobody understands. We must think beyond understanding. Third, “life is a game; play it”. We have to maneuver and use different strategies and techniques to win it. Fourth, “life is a struggle; face it”. We endeavor everything in order to survive. Fifth, “life is beauty; praise it”. Each of us has a purpose why we're living in this world so we must see the beauty in it and praise it. Some praise for the tangible ones. But the real beauty is the one that can't be seen by the naked eye. It's in the goodness of the heart. In addition, “life is also a puzzle; solve it”. We must be wise enough to solve it. Like some mathematical problems we encounter in school, we tend to analyze them thoroughly and apply the exact formulas. And probably, we'll get the right answers. Lastly, “life is a bit of opportunity; take it.” if we have this favorable chance to live, we should not be afraid to take it.

        To sum up the whole thing, if we always look for happiness we can never be happy instead. We just have to be contented of what we have and what can offer. The most indispensable thing is just being happy. Because “ALL IS WELL” when we are blessed and self-satisfied.

Things that Girls want to tell Guys but can never do so!!!

• Girls don't actually look for gorgeous guys. We prefer well-dressed guys who have good-functioning hearts.
• We hate conceited guys.
• A girl can like you for a minute then forget you completely as soon as she spots another eye-catcher.
• Girls don't really like guys who are too brainy but if asked to choose between brains and overflowing ego-we'll go for the first.
• When you ask us on the phone if we are doing something and we say "Yes, we have tons of assignments to do and gazillions of tests piling up for the next day" that's only our nice way of telling you that - We don't want to talk to you!
• When a girl says she doesn't understand you that means she's making an effort to do so.
• Girls may flirt around and all but what they really wish for at night - is a guy they could call their own.
• When a girl really likes you, she disregards what her friends say about you.
• Girls can go really crazy over a guy's smile.
• A girl always tries to find a cheap gift for her boyfriend but eventually ends up with an expensive one.
• Girls sometimes feel guilty when a guy she really likes pays for everything when they go out on a date, but still she allows him to do so. (And it isn't for the reason that we love our bank accounts more but it is because we don't want to shatter your sky-high egos! right girls???)
• Don't expect your girl to keep all the juicy secrets you tell them. 
• If a girl really likes a guy, she proudly tells her girlfriends about him all the time (even if her friends tell her that she already told them the same thing a week ago.)
• Girls like to guard their deepest, most private thoughts.
• Although we tried to hide it sometimes, what we really want to do is strangle you for talking about how wonderful and gorgeous your ex was.
• When a girl wants to meet your girl-bestfriend - LET HER!!!
• Girls hate guys who need to drown themselves in a sea of alcohol before they summon the courage to tell us how much we really mean to them.
• Girls like guys who cry.
• Girls have wider imaginations.
• Don't force a girl to let you kiss her.

P.S. ADD more if you have something to share!!!

I got those things from a close friend aka FETOKZ.....

PUZZLED ROAD

I travel to that puzzled road;
As I carry this heavy load,
I could feel the heat of the sun;
And has made my tears flow and run.

As I walked by, I took a sigh;
Letting my nerves rest, then stood high;
Like the flight of the birds in the sky,
I never give up and still fly.

For you to see the life’s goodness:
Wipe that terrible loneliness,
Struggle to achieve happiness,
Never say die ‘til you succeed.

FOR THE FIRST TIME

          In a small town called Atelaska, there lived a skinny young boy who loved basketball with all his heart. His name was Dexter. He lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship.

            Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played. Even though he was always on the bench, his father was always there cheering, and never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did have not to play basketball if he didn’t want to. But the young man loved basketball so much and decided to hang in there. He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d got to play when he became a senior.

            All through high school, he never missed a practice or a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in his side, and always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the basketball team as a “point-guard”. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always put his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

            The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. “Father! I made it,” shouted Dexter. His father answered, “Good son, that’s my boy.” His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

            It was the end of his senior basketball season, and as he got into the practice shortly before the playoff game, the coach approached him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”

            Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker. As he ran into the courtside, the coach and his players were shocked to see their faithful teammate back so soon. “Coach, let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said Dexter. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach   gave in. “All right,” he said. “You can go in.” Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the coliseum could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, drove and tackled like a star. In the last minute of the game, he put up a three-point basket to tie the ball game. His team began to triumph. In the closing seconds of the game, Dexter intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning lay-up. The fans broke loose. His teammate hugged him unto their shoulders. “Such cheering you never heard,” he whispered silently.

            Finally, after the coliseum had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that Dexter was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “Kid, I can’t believe it. You were fantastic! I was amazed; tell me what got into you? How did you do it?” He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you know that my dad has died, but did you know that he was blind?” The young man forced to smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him that I could do it.” Then he remembered, his father has always told him, “Never say die, and tomorrow is another game.”
