Little Cute Owls Hug For Their First Flight

When you’re taking a leap of faith, you need a little support from your friends.
But as these fledgling owls in Israel prepared for their first flight, even a group hug wasn’t enough to stop one opening its eyes and appearing to contemplate the drop below.
Amateur photographer Vladimir Kogan hid nearby and waited patiently for these three owls to emerge from their burrows near the town of Beit She’an.
Known as Athene noctua or Little Owls, these birds were sacred to the goddess Athena in Greek mythology and is usually found in the warmer parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa.
They grow to up to 10 inches in length and prey on insects, earthworms and even small birds and mammals.

They were introduced to Great Britain in 1842 by British aristocrat Thomas Powys and are now acclimatised here.

The Two Day Self-driving Tour On Weekend

We had a two-day self-driving tour on last weekends and it's really  fantastic for us. Although i am quite familiar with that city,  self-driving tour, go street shopping and mountain climbing are much better than staying at home with computer and TV. 

Started at 8:20 on Saturday, we begin our self-driving tour towards the city i used to be worked five month ago. Since it's my first driving tour, the whole three hour driving is not that boring. At 11:30, we get our destination and have lunch in a old style 60s traditional restaurant. 

For the later time, we visited a historical relics, boated on a famous lake and visited the famous Underwater World. It's really a awesome feast for eyes.The Underwater World is  especially gorgeous. You can hear screams for the dolphin show and the exciting faces when they saw the beautiful jellyfish, even though most of the jellyfish are poisonous.

We got home at 6:00 pm and fell a little pain on the leg. It's a natural reaction for strenuous exercise while we almost have no exercise daily. My only exercise perhaps is the two hours crowded bus experience,lol. It's better for me to go outside on weekends rather than staying at home sometimes. OK, i will to make it

Why I'm Divorced

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband would be pleasant and say,
'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out, he barely said good morning, let alone ' Happy Birthday.'

I thought....well, that's marriage for you, but the kids.... they will remember.

My kids came bouncing down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my handsome boss Rick, said, 'Good morning, lady, and by the way Happy Birthday!' It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock, when Rick knocked on my door and said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.'

I said, 'Thanks, Rick, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!'

We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. He chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office, Rick said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day...we don't need to go straight back to the office, do we?'

I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind?'

He said, 'Let's drop by my place, it's just around the corner.'

After arriving at his house, Rick turned to me and said, 'If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back.'

'Ok.' I nervously replied.

He went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, he came out carrying a huge birthday cake, followed by my husband , my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday'.

And I just sat there....

on the couch....

naked.

You know what, the biggest stories out of South Korea these days is the phenomenal viral hit of "Gangnam Style". This  music video for “Gangnam Style,” released by South Korean rapper PSY, so far has garnered tens of millions of views on YouTube.

Let's enjoy some of the "Gangnam Style" dances.

Several Words About These Days

Yesterday was really bad day for me, i have  to say.
Woke up earlier in the morning, late bus to catch, stomachache on the bus, Monday syndrome in the office, oh my god, these are parts of the reasons why every one hate Mondays?

Feel much better after the noon break, i started to write my blogs. Publishing genuine blog posts that are good to readers is one of my daily works. Good quality articles and  social network works will gradually promote our products, I insist that, even though not that quick effective.

"It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final,""It takes a person who is wide awake to make his dream come true,"Said Roger Babson.  No matter what happens today has nothing to with tomorrow, after all, tomorrow is another day.

Have a great tomorrow, dear friends.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Review

You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went . You could swear, curse the fates . But when it comes to the end , you have to let go .
Sometimes we`re on a collision course and we just don`t know it . Whether it`s by accident or by design , there`s not a thing we can do about it .
You know , you might`ve got a few more years out of it , but you chose to dosomething so special and unique that there was only a short window of time youcould do it . So , even if nothing ever happened , you`d still be right here where you are now .
I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you’re proud of.
If you find that you are not,
I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

These are the words of philosophy from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, an 2008 American fantasy drama film directed by David Fincher. It's one of my favorite movie, reminds me that I'm lucky to be alive. You will never know what's coming to you! Being special means nothing to yourself, what we should do is to  be the best of ourselves.

IG Won the Million Dollars At The Dota2 International

The Dota2 International Tournament final grand BO5 has held successfully on Sunday, IG win the million dollars at the international by defeating the former dota2 tournament winner Navi.

Congratulations for the IG dota team, they are the one of the best Dota teams from China. With  super dota  star YYF,Zhou, 430, Chuan and Faith, IG has gradually formed a unique dota stlyle teamwork and became one of the best dota team, which directly help them to claim more than 6 dota championship.

IG team member Chuan are rather exciting, isn't him? Any one will be bliss for the 1 million dollars prize, which means each of the team member will be millionaire in China. Besides there is a rumor spread quickly after that tournament. It is said that the boss of the IG, the son the of the richest man of China, would like to award his team additional  1 million dollars if they win the dota2 tournament. So each of the  IG team members could possibly won more than 2 million yuan for the game, amazing! No doubt some guys complain that life is not fair. However playing computer games like dota2 really changed many professional gamer's life.

The only pity in this tournament for me is that DK did not won the the first place. Due to the recently downturn, they only get the fourth place for $80,000. However, as the most successful dota team for more than 9 championship last year, DK should not give up. Just prepare well and battle delightfully for the 2012 Dota2 Tournament.
