Cut Your Own Hair
I gave myself a haircut. Literally. I am not an expert in cutting hairs, but I do know how. Photographic memory serves me well when I first tried to cut my hair. Just put some clip here and there, cut here and there. Voila! I have my new layered hairstyle. When my mom saw that I can cut hair, she even asked me to cut her hair and paid me. Hahaha! Not just my mom, but my brother's as well. I'm getting better and better. Did I mention I do it with my ShihTzu's fur too? Wahaha!
As I have read in eHow.com, cutting your hair at home can save money and allow you to experiment with daring new looks.
Just follow these simple steps:
Step 1
Start with freshly washed, damp hair. If your hair is dry, spritz with water until damp. Comb out.
Step 2
Start with a plan. What do you want to do--cut off two inches or drastically change your whole look?
Step 3
Pull a small section of hair straight in your hand. Place your fingers where you would like to cut. Only cut about a half inch at a time.
Step 4
After each snip, stop and re-examine progress. Let hair fall straight. Is it even?
Step 5
Cut one side and then the other, rather than alternating--that often leads to cutting off more than desired. Instead, cut one side to desired length, and then match on other side.
Step 6
To cut layers, cut sections of hair to different lengths, making each cut on a sharp angle.
Step 7
Try to pull as much hair to the front to cut, but if you must cut the back, go slowly, use two mirrors (facing each other) and examine progress after each cut.
Tips & Warnings
* Relax! It's just hair. No matter what you do, it can be fixed in some way. If not, it will grow back!
* Go slowly and do not be nervous. Anxiety will increase your chance of making a mistake.
* If you find yourself continuing to try to even out sides, STOP! You will soon cut off more hair than you desired. Stop, take a deep breath, and reassess. Your hair does not have to be EXACTLY even.

I Love You, Man
Just seen I Love You, Man starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. A boy-man comedy genre that is more than likeable. It was even commented by Peter Travers of RollingStone as hugely enjoyable. It didn't make me laugh out loud but I find it funny though. It's Rated-R so there are some jokes and pervasive language that I can't dig or...let's just say I'm bleepin' it on my mind. LOL for me. Well, I'm not that much unto dirty jokes. Anyways, there's a part when Sydney Fife (Segel) yelled or howled back to a man who tries to tell him to scoop his dog's poop. Peter Klaven (Rudd) was even taught to yell like an animal and honor the process then rewarded with a corndog. Wahaha! LMAO.
But what I find interesting is the soundtrack. Nice list of songs, eh? A very big thanks to YouTube for this decent song from Latch Key Kid, Good times.
By the way, I do get the joke that most Italians are fag. Thomas Lennon even looked like Bruno! Hahaha!

Did You know?
Latchkey kid or latchkey child refers to a child who returns from school to an empty home because his or her parents are away at work, or a child who is often left at home with little or no parental supervision.

Drifting Away
I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in so long. I feel I've been lost. No bearings, no compass. I kept crashing into things, a little crazy, I guess. I've never been lost before. You were my true north. I could always steer for home when you were my home. Forgive me for being so angry when you left. I still think some mistakes been made and I'm waiting for God to take it back. But I'm doing better now. The work helps me. Most of all, you help me. You came into my dream last night with that smile of yours that always held me like a lover, rocked me like a child. All I remember from the dream is a feeling of peace. I woke up with that feeling and tried to keep it alive as long as I could. I'm writing to tell you that I'm on a journey toward that peace. And to tell you I'm sorry about so many things. I'm sorry I didn't take better care of you so that you never spent one minute being cold or scared or sick. I'm sorry I ever fought with you. I'm sorry I didn't apologize more. I was too proud. I'm sorry I didn't bring you more compliments on everything you wore and every way you fixed your hair. I'm sorry I didn't hold on to you with so much strength that even God couldn't pull you away...
A friend of mine sent this to me a long time ago. I know where he'd get this(from Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks). But still...
Aaawwww...
Did you know?
The oldest message in a bottle spent 92 years 229 days at sea. A bottom drift bottle, numbered 423B, was released at 60º 50'N 00º 38'W on 25 April 1914 and recovered by fisherman, Mark Anderson of Bixter, Shetland, UK, at 60º 50'N 00º 37'W on December 10, 2006.

My Dog's IQ
My 7-year-old ShihTzu's IQ scored 17. Not bad for an oldie, huh? Well we adopted him early this year because his owner can't take care of him owner because they're leaving the country. They were planning to put him to sleep since no one wants to adopt an old dog. Poor doggy, so we decided to take him in. Since then, he's my closest companion from being my nap buddy to my exercise buddy to my fun buddy. He's very playful, smart and cute. You'll love him.
Here's how to test your dog's IQ for fun:
In the first test, the dogs had to tip over a can to uncover the treat underneath. The second test required them to free themselves from a towel tossed gently over their heads. In the third test, they had to retrieve a treat from under a very low table. The last test required them to discern their names from other everyday words.
The tests proved to be fun for dogs and people alike, while the results, at least in one case, were surprising. How did the participants score? Click the video link below to watch the test and learn the results. Then take the test at home with your dog. It’s an enjoyable way to learn more about how your best friend thinks.

Smile, Smile and Smile!
If you want to know whether your marriage will survive, look at your spouse's yearbook photos.
Psychologists have found that how much people smile in old photographs can predict their later success in marriage.
"Maybe smiling represents a positive disposition towards life," said study leader Matthew Hertenstein, a psychologist at DePauw University in Indiana. "Or maybe smiling people attract other happier people, and the combination may lead to a greater likelihood of a long-lasting marriage. We don't really know for sure what's causing it."
Well, smile is the cheapest way to improve one's face so I guess, you'll pretty much attract more people that constitutes larger scale of social network which can lighten some burden within marriage. So I guess, it's all about smile, eh? Now I know, why my friend is still single. Nyahaha!
