dog risks life to save another dog...

Footage from a traffic camera overlooking a busy freeway in Santiago, Chile captured a dog performing a heroic act — pulling an injured friend from oncoming traffic.

The video shows an injured dog lying in the middle of a freeway after being hit by a car, while a rescue dog dodges traffic to run to its side. The rescue dog then drags the severely injured canine across lanes of traffic as cars swerve around it.

No motorists stopped to help either dog, but a highway crew arrives at the end of the video.

The translation of the announcer is as follows:

"These images seen from the surveillance cameras show a very common situation with our overpopulated highways. It is normal for us to see dogs run over. In the video, we can see this dog fighting for his life because he was run over by the vehicle.

"What is very touching is to see the very heroic actions of this other dog who is trying to pull him to the side of the highway. We are going to keep seeing things like this until we find a solution to the dogs living on the streets."

Venus, Jupiter and Moon alignment...

Have you seen the planetary conjunction made by the planets Jupiter and Venus together with a crescent moon last December 1, 2008? The unusual thing is that it created a smiley face! It's like heaven smiled down on us. Now, how cute is that? ;)

It is a very rare alignment and it will still be visible until January next year (but probably not with the same formation). I have also learned that the next visible Venus-Jupiter conjunction will be on the evening of March 14, 2012.

Astronomers also said that there will be a meteor shower on December 13. The last meteor shower that I saw was 2 or 3 years ago. I will try to catch it on video. Can't wait for it! I just hope that there will be a clear evening sky by that time. ;)

"The Other Side" of Sarah Geronimo...

She is one of the biggest stars of the Philippine's ABS-CBN station network. She is a multi-platinum recording artist, dancer, her recent movie was a blockbuster and had few high-rating TV series from the same network.

These videos are some of my favorite Sarah Geronimo's performances in ASAP. I hope you'll enjoy it too. ;)

Belenismo sa Tarlac

This is the 2nd year competition of Belenismo sa Tarlac (The Art of Making Belen). It showcases the creativeness of Tarlaqueños in making a replica of the birth of Jesus Christ in any way that they can with the use of indigenous products. Here are some of the pictures that I took last Sunday from ASIATEN PENSION HOUSE's entry and I will add more in the coming weeks. We are just hoping that the so-called management of these creations will lit up the lights during our stroll so that we can appreciate it better.

wishin' and hopin' - themesong from the movie My Bestfriend's Wedding

I just received my 13th month pay and bought a new CD/casette player. It's not a fancy thingy, I just want to play my old tapes way back when I was in high school and college. When I was checking my stuff earlier, I saw the soundtrack of the movie My Bestfriend's Wedding starring Julia Roberts. This is one of the cutest songs from the movie. Enjoy!
