Heroic Dog Saves Owner's House From Fire

Five-year-old Buddy guided a team of Alaska State Troopers through winding back roads to the property in a remote area some 55 miles north of Anchorage.

His owner, Ben Heinrichs, 23, was working on his truck inside his garage when a spark ignited near some fuel and caught fire, setting his clothes alight.

Mr Heinrichs managed to run outside, closing the door to stock the fire from spreading, and rolled in the snow to extinguish the flames on his clothes.

But he suddenly remembered the dog was still in the workshop and ran back to fetch him.

While Buddy escaped unscathed, his owner suffered minor burns on his face and second-degree burns on his left hand.

The dog subsequently ran off after his master said he needed help.

He was found on a road by the Alaskan police who had been alerted to the fire but had got lost.

As the police were about to turn down the wrong road, they caught sight in their headlights of Buddy who made eye contact with them and raced ahead down the right road, occasionally turning round to check they were behind him.

The dog's quick reaction meant that the fire was restricted to the outbuildings and the family's home was left unscathed.

"Buddy is an untrained dog who, for some reason, recognised the severity of the situation and acted valiantly in getting help for his family," Alaskan State Trooper chief Colonel Audie Holloway said at a ceremony to honour the dog.

Buddy, whose good deed was caught on a patrol car's dashcam video, was given a smart dog bowl as a reward, and a big rawhide bone.

His owners said they had known he was clever since they first took him as a six-week-old puppy and added that he was very brave too, having twice chased bears away when Ben was fishing.

Thoughts To Ponder

A BLESSING FOR YOU

If you woke this morning

with more health than illness,

you are more blessed than the

million who won’t survive the week.

 

 If you have never experienced

the danger of battle,

the loneliness of imprisonment,

the agony of torture or

the pangs of starvation,

you are ahead of 20 million people

around the world.

If you attend the church meeting

without fear and harassment,

arrest, torture, or death,

you are more blessed than almost

three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,

clothes on your back, a roof over your head

and a place to sleep,

you are richer than 75% on this world.

If you have money in the bank,

in your wallet, and spare change

in a dish someplace, you are among

the top 8% of the words wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive,

you are very rare,

especially in the United States.

If you hold up your head with a smile

on your face and are truly thankful,

you are blessed because the majority can,

but most do not.

If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them

or even touch them on the shoulder,

you are blessed because you can

offer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,

you are more blessed than over

two billion people in the world

who cannot read anything at all.

 You are so blessed in ways

you may never even know.

If you are feeling blessed,

repay the blessings

bestowed unto you and

do something for others.

A blessing cannot be kept.

If it stops with you,

then the blessing will disappear.

The blessing will only keep working

if it is continuously passed around.

If you are a recipient of a blessing,

keep the blessing working

by being the source of blessing

to other people.

What To Expect In Japan

Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, and crafts. It significantly affect humans as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies and has allowed the rise of a leisure class... Do I sound brainy? (thanks google!)

To sum it all up, technology simply makes life easy..  But is it all worth it??

Think winning the lottery will solve all your troubles? Think...

Dear God...

When things aren't falling into the right place, I find myself at times knelt at the side of my bed with my hand entangled together weeping for God to help me at my darkest hours. . . and feeling like a child asking questions so many times and can't seem to find any answer.

This is why I feel a close connection with this post. We all have a child in ourselves, and we sometimes ask God for some things that are way beyond an ordinary mans thinking.  Maybe because some things have answers that are also far beyond ordinary.

But isn't it just amazing when we start thinking like a child again, and realize, we still have so many questions left unanswered?

Bakit pag GALIT.... Ang GALING mag-English?

I've noticed when us Filipinos argue with our significant others, we tend to express our feelings in different languages that we know. In my opinion, I guess this is simply to show superiority and class. It creates a status symbol when you speak flawlessly in English especially while on the heat of an argument. Theres a feel to it that makes them believe you belong to the high society, thus, you intimidate the opponent at the same time (which is actually the main purpose of it).  Hindi maiiwasan, minsan kelangan mag mayabang para manalo.  And who usually does these? Female species na gustong mag sosyal sosyalan para mapansin. Here is the best (or probably the worst) example when you try messing with them.

Why Women Live Longer Than Men?

We All Have A Scar

A Taste Of The Classics

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's worst

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's worst

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'Cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's worst.

Chicken Soup

I Hope

I hope you surf the waves from the ocean,

big and small.

I hope you watch the sunset,

from a mountain straight and tall.

I hope you sing a song to all the angels,

loud and clear.

I hope you always try new things,

never giving in to fear.

I hope you fall in love,

with one who makes your world go 'round.

I hope that if you fall out,

your feet stay on the ground.

I hope that you can understand,

that true love waits for you.

That you may have to wait awhile,

but when it comes it will be true.

I hope you feel the sand,

hot on your toes on summer's day.

I hope you learn that sandals,

help to keep the pain away.

I hope you find a rainbow,

and realize it was worth the rain.

I hope that through your journey,

you'll learn to balance smiles with pain.

I hope that you will realize,

life isn't always on your side.

I hope you know when hope is lost,

in me you can confide.

I hope that your glowing smile,

brings someone out of gloom.

I hope you taste your life,

with more than just a sponn.

I hope that when you're lost,

you are also one to find.

And I hope that your hand,

never grows too big for mine.

I hope you watch the stars shoot by,

upon a grassy hill.

I hope you know I love you,

always have and always will.

Michaels in critical condition with hemorrhage

LOS ANGELES - Bret Michaels is in critical condition suffering from a brain hemorrhage, his publicist said Friday. Joann Mignano confirmed a report on People magazine's website Friday that said the former Poison frontman was rushed to intensive care late Thursday after a severe headache. The report said doctors discovered bleeding at the base of his brain stem.

Mignano said tests are being conducted and that no further information was available.

The 47-year-old reality TV star had an emergency appendectomy last week after complaining of stomach pains. He said on his website that though the surgery "has taken its toll," doctors expected him to make a full recovery.

Michaels starred on the VH1 dating show "Rock of Love" and is a contestant on Donald Trump's NBC reality show, "The Celebrity Apprentice."

Trump said in a statement Friday that he was "deeply saddened" to hear of Michaels' condition.

"He's a great competitor and champion, and I hope he will be fine," Trump said.

No more kids stuff

25 years of doing nothing. rad!

I never thought about what it would feel like to be 25 years old. Years ago I would have imagined being 25 to be completely different from what it is today. At 25 I would be married, sporting a fancy car, living in a first class village and working a high paying job.

Surprise! I don't live in a village and I am certainly not married. As far as jobs go, yes I am a nurse, a jobless nurse.  Blame it on global crisis.

When we were younger, I think it's natural to dream of life as an adult as a perfect life. I see myself being rich, living in the house of my dreams, and driving around in a car that I knew I was going to get as soon as I graduate college. Despite the fact that my ideas of 25 have not come to be my reality, I also realize that at 25 I am blessed to be here and experiencing the now as a healthy human being.

Today I turn 25. In the past when anybody I knew turned 25, I would laugh at them simply because they were now a quarter of century in age. This is ridiculous, because in my mind I still feel like a kid yet I have this association that 25 means no more kids stuff. Well, as the saying goes.. "It takes a long time to become young" whatever the hell that means..

The problem with getting older is that I get a bit more anxious when I find myself not accomplishing my goals in life. I am trying to list the major events that have happened in my life in the last 25 years and these is what I had:

3  =  Inom gatas w/ chupon
4 =   Inom gatas w/out chupon

6  = (day 1) kinder 1
6  = (a day after) kinder 2 na
11 = First crush
12 = Fist fight
13 = Became a class officer (president)
16 = Graduated High School
17 = Accepted into La Salle, U.P., Ateneo de Manila but chose to be in Davao Doctors College.
18 = Got a flat 1 grade in P.E. (highest grade ever)
19 = Inom alak
20 = Pa cute2x
21 = Graduated college
21 = Became a Registered Nurse
23 = O.R. Nurse
24 = Psyche Nurse
25 = Nothing.

Things I have yet to accomplish that I know most of the people my age have already:

• fiancé or wife
• fancy car
• house
• stable job
• an iphone
• oakley shades
• extra phone with Sun Cellular sim

So today I will celebrate and tomorrow will become just another day to achieve world dominance.

I Love You

Feeling very sentimental lately.
