I can't believe that it's the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, U.S. Capitol, and Pentagon.  I remember waking up on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, and hearing about terrorists hijacking planes and crashing them into the twin towers.  I was shocked and c...

Noticing Gigabyte's rapid breathing, I took her to the vet on Thursday, April 28, 2011.  The possibilities were pneumonia or other lung problems, such as abscess and tumors, so the vet prescribed antibiotics, and asked me to bring the Syrian hamster back two weeks later. After a few days, he...

We watched the movie, 9000 Needles, at our school on Friday, February 18, 2011.  It's a good movie about a stroke victim, Devin Dearth, going to China to receive treatment, because the U.S. healthcare system is very limited, especially when it comes to health insurance. The movie is directed...

In December 2009, I posted a video and entry about NewSong's The Christmas Shoes.  That was also when I learned that there was a novel and movie based on the song. This week, YouTube recommended more videos about the song.  After I watching one of them, I was clicked on more until I cam...

On the evening of Thursday, February 26, 2009, I found Scaredy cold and still.  No matter what I did, he didn't move so I knew he was dead despite still being active the previous night.  I had bought that hamster on September 5, 2007, so he only lived for about one and half years. ...

I found Sprightly cold and still this morning.  She did start to behave strangely again the past 2 days, and must have died this morning.  She really didn't live long.  I've had her for only 9 months.

I first read this story a few years ago, and liked it.  Since then, I've seen it in e-mails and websites.  Now I want to share it at my online journals. A Story of Friendship‏ One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home…

I had bought the hamster, Trehalose, after the death of Maltose in March 2006.  For the next 20 months, he was company to Lactose, Fussy, and finally Scaredy.  On Thursday, November 15, 2007, Trehalose began squeaking more often and had breathing problems.  His nose was twitching, ...
