Worry on the newly born pets.

My pet Trixy bore these 6 cute puppies last August 29, 2009. I worry much of their situation because I don't know what care should I give to these puppies. Trixy is not irresponsible mother to them but I want to take care of them as well. I never had more ideas of the food these cute puppies will eat or should I take them to a bath? I just don't know. I know that their mother is providing them with milk as food. All I initially do now is to provide them with good shelter that they could live especially in the cold nights. I hope that Trixy will be able to provide and secure them with their needs.

I need an expert plumber.

Our faucet is already retiring its services. I find it so regretful for not being able to ask for help from an expert plumber to fix the problem of our faucet. It drips a lot all day long. The lock has been destroyed and I can't fix it myself. All I do to alleviate the drip is to tie it with a cloth. I know that the cloth is not a big help. Much water is wasted and I know for sure that our water bill will be high.

I need the help of an expert plumber and he is now arriving soon because I called my friend to help me search one to fix our faucet.

Slippers for home.

I thought of buying some slippers for my family to wear inside the house. I don't want them to walk barefooted eventhough how clean our floor is.

I went to the store near our place here in Texas, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy because I don't like the style that they have displayed. I want to buy slippers that are intended to use inside our home.

Where could I buy slippers for home? I hope that I can have them.

Dishwashing liquid or detergent bar?

I have seen the advertise that shows which soap is best for washing dishes, diswashing liquid or detergent bar?

Frankly, I admit that I often use detergent bar especially when the dishwashing liquid is over or if I wasn't able to buy one.

I have learn upon seeing the advertise that the detergent bar that I often use in washing the dishes will leave chemical residue that might be present in all the plates, cups, spoons, forks or the dishes that I wash. Whew...! I don't want my family will include eating those with the food they eat.

Now I should not compromise my family of using detergent bar in washing the dishes. I will buy lots of supply of dishwashing liquid so that I will not suffer out of stock.

A good home must made, not bought.

Having a home is an investment. There are lots of home with various designs that are available today. You can go purchase the home with less price though it is not that beautiful and well furnished. The main thing is that you have a place to stay and to call your own. Great homes, beautiful, elegant and big ones are very expensive. Probably, it takes a lifetime for you to save in order to buy one. Though 100 sq. meter is good, enhancement is the solution of it.

Homes are too expensive nowadays because of the quality materials that the constructors use in building it. But if you have just enough money, you can buy just the one that fits your financial availability. And it is a must for you to beautify the home for it too look pleasing and attractive.

And if you want to sell it for years, you need to upgrade it from time to time. The selling price of a home depends upon the added investment that you add in it.

This is the smart way to make your home profitable.

Health is wealth.

Everyday we are expose to a lot of what composes the environment especially pollution and diseases. Our body is our sole investment that works for the fulfillment and the progress of what we have to accomplish and will be accomplished.

I remember one of my friend saying that she is happy with what she has right now though how meager her salary is but with God's help, she is healthy and strong. She never miss eating at the right time and whenever she is hungry because her health is the only legacy that evidently keep them survive. She stressed that no matter how poor they are but luckily they are healthy.

It is true that diseases chooses no one. Even if you are rich, in the middle class or poor in the society, disease spreads its killer knife. And when one has no means to prevent the diseases, he is for sure subject to illnesses or even death.

I think the people are wise nowadays because of the grievous economic crisis, they are more preventive and cautious. It is not a joke to gamble lots of money from medicines, operations or surgery. That is why, in order for an individual to live longer, he should eat what nature gives and not what artificial donates. It is wise to be ready always and make one's HEALTH a serious priority.

Toilet

I always make sure that our house is clean especially the bathroom. Our bathroom is big. I make sure that the toilet should be kept clean everyday because I can't predict the time when visitors come in the house or when my sisters visit me at home. It is a shame on my part when everything is not clean. The toilet bowl should be cleaned daily with the toilet brush. I use disinfectant once a week. This kills the germs in the toilet. It should not be used to cover up unpleasant odors. Toilet seats should be covered if the toilet is just a pit. I make sure that there is always water available in the toilet. I always tell my kids and my husband to use the toilet properly, clean it and always flush the toilet. Never left unattended if human waste or dirt is present. As for my husband, he had a place in the bathroom where he could pee. I don't want him to pee using the toilet bowl. It is unhealthy.

Flowers for the home.

I always consider the art of bringing beauty at home with the use of the flowers to let my home come alive. I can display my home like a garden of paradise. Just yesterday, I bought some flowers, vases and pots which I could use to decorate my home. I just come with the right choices of flowers. Arranging them takes time.

The flower with the longest stem is placed in the middle of the bowl. The flower would then be above the center of the bowl. Arrange the other flowers in the center. Keep the arrangement balanced in color and size of flowers. The heavier flowers should come towards the center. Equal attractions on the sides should be made. Flowers in one vase need not be just one kind. There may be different kinds. However, the color should harmonize.

Variations in sizes and heights of flowers as well as in color makes interesting arrangements. Do not use too many flowers and leaves in the vase. When flower stems are cut the same length the arrangement would not be interesting. Cut the stems in different lengths. Interesting arrangements would result. Stems, leaves, berries, weeds can add interest to a flower arrangement.

Artificial flowers are not used for decoration in the home. The flower arrangements we use should show sincerity. Artificial flowers are not true flowers. They are not natural. They deceive people into thinking they are real flowers. The natural lines and beauty of real flowers are better expressions of our sincerity and truth than artificial flowers arrangements. Artificial flowers for the home do not reflect good taste.

That is why, adding flowers to our home should use real flowers. Not the fake one.

I hope that this simple home tips may help you.

Use of thesaurus.

It is necessary to have all the needed resources when you want to research about anything. In English Literature where figurative words are of no exemption, it is best that you will have at hand (not just Dictionary) Thesaurus. This will extend further help in unlocking the difficulties of the meaning of some figurative words.

Thesaurus is a work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning, containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms. It is Philo of Byblos who authored the first book called Thesaurus. A thesaurus should not be taken as a complete list of all the synonyms for a particular word. The entries are also designed for drawing distinctions between similar words and assisting in choosing exactly the right word. The word "thesaurus" is derived from 16th-century New Latin, in turn from Latin thesaurus, from ancient Greek thesauros, meaning a collection of things which are of big importance or value.

Nowadays, thesaurus is not new to many since there are lots of people from all walks of life find it beneficial to use.

It is also useful when you want to add uniqueness in your composition. But make sure that you are using the meaning with the right sense.

For example:

*Do not use difficult words when you want to deliver the right message to your listener.

You will say: Do not use ambiguous words when you want to convey the right message to your listener.


*The teachers provide to the needs of the pupils especially in the learning process.

You will say: The teachers cater to the needs of the pupils especially in the learning process.

*Be careful whenever the need arises.

You will say: Be cautious whenever the need arises.

These are few examples that might help you when you want to add extraordinary words to beautify your composition but just in the right way that others will clearly understand.

How to analize poems and other masterpieces?

I just can't forget my teacher told us when we were in college that the best way to understand a certain masterpiece that was written by famous authors or poets, one must first know and be acquainted with the background of the writer. He should know the life story of the writer from his birthday, educational attainments, memorable events in ones life, personal background, achievements in life and others. In this way, study of the piece will help a lot in understanding the meaning of each line.

It is not advisable to go through reading directly the poem or any masterpiece and have your own interpretation of the said piece.

There are explanations for every thing that the writer wrote in his composition.

I hope that this short information may help you in any way.

Who is Venus?

Venus was a major Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility, who played a key role in many Roman religious festivals and myths. The Romans originally worshiped Venus as goddess of fertility. Her fertility powers spread from the garden to humans. The Greek aspects of the love and beauty goddess Aphrodite were added on to Venus' attributes, and so for most practical purposes, Venus is synonymous with Aphrodite.

People nowadays, associate Venus to the person they truly love specifically their girlfriend.

Who is your Venus in your life now?

Expect the unexpected.

Life is an endless path that we can't see what lies ahead for us. It is a clueless reality of of fun, pain, sorrows and excitements. The more we try to hit the spot, the more we loss the hope but the stronger we face its battle, the richer we become.

There are things in life that we can't tell which one will happen and which one will not. If we always think of success and triumph, we might fall into place with extreme trials and storms that unexpectedly come. What then is the purpose of living life as we muster to scroll from it?

The answer is WE NEVER KNOW!

We can't tell even when we want to choose the safest way around. We can't prophesied our destinies and our life's fate. There is no great assurance that the way we are walking into will lead us to a life, full of happiness and fame. For if a person has all these (fame and power), much more for trials and problems to cause pain. We never know that out from our planned dreams and ambitions in life, there comes less avenues and opportunities for success. The more we stumble, the better we fall. The more we are scared, the most we less expect things to happen.

That is why, in this battlefield of wider world that has everything, one must not always think of the possibilities for happiness to play into place. The most and the better way to get things in the right perspective is to always EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

Son is the father of the man.

I remembered when I was still in college when our English Literature professor asked us about this question.

"What is the son is the father of the man?"

I found my professor quite strict for throwing such a question on the first day of our class. I was totally blank. One by one, randomly, our professor called us and she solicited answers from the trivial question she asked.

We were all nodding down, all heads looking at the floor for we never know the right answer. Some of my classmates were going to the comfort room, making an excuse just to escape to be called.

Luckily, the bell rang and I was saved. Then our professor told us to have research on the answer of the question. I don't have nothing in mind but to interpret it literally.

By the next day of our class, some of my classmates were absent. From 42 of us, we were around 23. It is quite scary because we didn't have the constant answer and we are not sure if our answer is the correct.

Mine is father-in-law, others are uncle and many answered children's children. All of us got the wrong answer.

Our professor can't hold her breath. She was quite angry because we never get the perfect answer.

"What is the son is the father of the man?" is the question that the Sphinx asked to Oedipus in exchange for an offer.

Oftentimes, we interpret words or phrases literally. Generally, in life there are things that are abstract and we need to dig down deeper to the meaning of each word, phrase or sentence.

The answer is man's stages in life.

When we are still young, we act and play childish things. We grow in ways little by little. We do things and discover them in our own childish world. As we grow, we encounter different approaches in life that may lead us through sorrows and pains, happiness and good tidings. This time we come to battle the most crucial part of our life, forming the possible things that we have learn from the environment. We react to what is necessary and immediate for us. We encounter lots of development in learning as we become in our teen and young adulthood years. Then, comes old adulthood whom we prepare for our retirement. In this stage, we spend time to reflect and be with the Lord, doing all the charitable and indulging in some religious activities. This is in preparation for our unexpected retirement as life just come to pass here on Earth.

Knowing the answer to the trivial question, made me realize that there are things in life that we don't have to blatantly interpret and see things in a simple scope. There are hidden meanings and deep interpretations that will lead us to understand the world of complexity to simplicity.
