This is Chi-chi, our American Pit Bull Terrier.
Chichi (who I already featured in a PH entry here) is sweet with the kids and is very playful. Yes, she is cuddly but we seldom cuddle her because she is big, heavy, and muscled.
When she steps on your toes with her big paws or stands up and the nails scratched your arm, you will definitely say “Awww!”
Pit Bulls are probably one of the misunderstood breeds among dogs.
Oops, my short post just got long. I am a bit busy these days and had only a little time to write a post.
Now back to looking for pre-employment screening for a friend who is putting up a new biz.

Our son loves playing racing games and watching racing sports. Currently his favorite is the first season of the Bullrun Season 1 which he watches on DVD. He watched the whole season twice already 
So when we were having our Memory Drill games yesterday with two of my students, I was surprised he misspelled “Daytona” when he himself associated the word/place with “Nascar” (yes, where we see those Nascar jackets with a lot of colorful logos) when one of the boys he was having the drills with asked what Daytona is. (The word in the drill was Dayton, actually)
Frankly, I was disappointed when all of them misspelled Daytona since this is one of the racing games they can see in the arcades.
When I reminded them that they all said “Ay, tama!” (That’s right!) Yeah right

One time, during a discussion about the skin in our Science lessons, my son asked me why is it that people who are bigger (read: fat) tend to have “lines on the skin”. I asked if he meant lines on the face and he said “no” and that he meant that skin texture of people who are on the heavy side.
We went online to look for photos of people with “lines on the skin” after our lessons. He thought these were skin diseases since at that time we were learning about the skin in his Science subject.
Cellulite. This is a new word he learned that day. He further asked if there is a cellulite cure. I told him that there are but first and foremost, weight control should be a priority to avoid having these.

Family reunions are happy events as loved ones gather to enjoy each others’ company in once-in-a-while moments.
If there is one thing that makes love ones feel awkward with would be to think of topics that will sustain the conversation and keep the communication a two-way street.
It probably feels weird being face-to-face with a cousin you haven’t seen in years and where the only memories y0u got between the two of you is childhood spent together playing games during weekends.
Of course you can’t possibly bore your relatives about the nitty gritty details of your work unless they are interested nor should you explain in detailed version how you bought your new condo unit or how you got the best auto insurance quote or maybe even about your stock market portfolio.
What should you talk about then?
- Update each other about how you are doing but be general with the details unless they ask you.
- Introduce your children (if you have some) but do not spend too much time enumerating their best features.
- Try to find a topic that will interest them.
- Play fun games.
- As much as possible, avoid gossiping about those who did not make it to the reunion.
Last of all, enjoy the moment of togetherness

Fast cars. My children love these: car shows, racing games, and car toys. They do not settle for those mind-boggling/out-of-this-world designs but instead opt for real car designs.
Can you name the make (and if you are good with these, model) of these cars? Except the last two on the bottom of course
Great weekend to y’all!
