My preschooler and his classmates saw this moth in school. They were very excited and they gathered around it. I didn’t have my camera and I forgot my cellphone. Good thing a fellow mom was kind enough to snap a photo of it using her cellphone.

I saw this one walking along our garden. It was walking in a hurry but managed to take a photo. We fondly refer to it as “singsing hari” or roughly translated as ring of king. When you touch one, it curls its body making it look like a ring. I have no idea where the king part came from but I grew up referring to it as “singsing hari“.
I think curling into a ring is its defense mechanism. It also gives out a pungent smell when you touch it too much. It has many legs but it’s not a centipede. Do you know what’s the real name of this one?

I saw this lovely cockatoo at the pet store. He wasn’t shy, in fact, he seemed very sociable. I guess he is accustomed to people going in and out of the store . I hope he finds a good home soon.

My four year old son, Yohan loves looking at the fish tank filled with guppies and sword tails in school. We have a small empty aquarium at home so I was inspired to buy Yohan some guppies and sword tails of his own. Yohan was very happy about his new pets.

This is a Silver Arowana that I saw at a pet shop in Cartimar. It is a fresh water fish which is a popular pet in Asia. It has relatively large scales, a long body and tapered tail. In the wild, an arowana can jump high out of the water to capture its prey (e.g. large insects). It often swims near the surface area of the water waiting for an opportunity to feed.

I dedicate my entry this week to my Dad in honor of Father’s Day. This photo was taken last month while my parents were having a vacation with us. My Dad developed a nice bond with our dog, Bruno. My Dad enjoyed taking Bruno for a walk twice a day around the village. Whenever Bruno would sense my Dad’s presence nearby, he would wag his tail and bark enthusiastically. When my parents left for the States, Bruno lost appetite for a day or two. It showed how much he missed my Dad.

This our pet fish, Nikki. She’s a Flower Horn fish. Nikki is almost five years old. We had her when our son was just a few months old.
Here are some interesting information about Flower Horns.
- They aer considered by the Chinese as an auspicious fish.
- The forehead or “Nuchal Hump” is the main attraction of the Flower Horn. It is a characteristic that is much sought after.
- A big, round and developed head is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, longevity and happiness.
We used to have another Flower Horn with red and pearl scales with Chinese-like character markings but he passed away.
Our family loves pets. We have a dog, birds and fish. We also had turtles before. Having a pet is a big responsibility. Before choosing a particular pet, it is advisable to read about helpful information that can help you choose the ideal pet for your family and lifestyle.

This is Ashley, my BIL’s cute rottweiler puppy. It’s fun playing with Ashley. You could tell she appreciates her lovely surroundings because she stopped to smell the flowers.
