​AN  ENCOUNTER WITH A VERY FRIENDLY DOGGY NAMED KOBE
Three years ago, my family and I went for a vacation to Chicago. We visited my Aunt’s family and there I met their big dog pet Kobe, a German-shepherd, who is a dear member of their family. Though he did not know me yet, just with the introduction of my Aunt that we were members of the family, he immediately greeted me with his licks as if he had known me for a long period of time.

He is a huge dog, almost as tall as me. He looks scary as if he can eat me.  But deep inside that big body is a friendly, sweet and loving creature who loves to cuddle and play. His fur is brownish, blackish and reddish, so soft to touch. His ears are pointed and always on the look-out.  His eyes are large and transparent and look so smartly and intelligently.

I like him very much because he was very playful.  When we played around their house in a snowboard in the midst of heavy snow, he chased me around and around their yard. This charming dog would always follow and cuddle with me. When I wake up in the morning and head downstairs, he would immediately greet me. He would stay and sit with me on the couch while I watched TV. I would like to dedicate a short poem to this lovely creature:
A dog so cute and friendly
So big, so tall, and so healthy
Huggable, kissable and cuddly
An instant pet I love so dearly.
 
His fur is brown, blackish and reddish
Canny and smart with eyes so bluish
I will never ever forget you big doggy
Kobe is the name I will remember so vividly.

The Iowa
The Iowa, the finest ship I’ve ever heard.
The best of the best I’ve ever seen
and the biggest of them all.
She carries more than a hundred brave men.
 Into battle they sailed day and night,
She sailed through shark infested waters and rocky shores,
With meanest arsenal that you
wouldn’t want to play with.

She’ll mow you down as soon
as she’ll look at you.
Well, she’s colored gray and real large
 and she sits on the water.
You might ask is the Iowa good or nice? 
Well, she doesn’t bite, so don’t go away!
 
I wonder how it is like living onboard the ship.
I guess it is nice being afloat.
Well it’s time to quote
That Iowa is the best!
            But we have to say goodbye because we’re on a quest
Adios amigos!

Women's Right to Education

Do you know that millions of girls are not able to go school?

There are many reasons why girls are prevented from going to school. 
​
First, poverty. Boys are given more priority to study than girls if parents are poor and have no money to send all their children to school.  Girls are more of help at home than boys so girls are preferred to stay at home to take care of siblings and do household chores.

The second reason is the cultural and social beliefs, attitudes and practices of a certain place. In most countries, society is dominated by men and daughters are perceived to be less valuable once educated because they will likely follow what their father, brother or husband wants.

Third, the parents lose more income when the girl child goes to school because girls are expected to do more domestic work than boys. Sending a girl to school is oftentimes seen either as bringing no gain at all, or, worse, an actual waste of money or a big loss of family’s income. 

Pregnancy and child marriage is also one reason why adolescent girls’ schooling are cut before they have completed secondary school.

School-based violence is also another reason why girls’ education are halted. Some schools fail to protect the basic rights of girls. Violence includes rape, sexual harassment, physical and psychological intimidation, teasing and threats. It may happen on the way to school or within the school, and is done by teachers, and fellow students.  This also causes an end to girls’ education.

​In my opinion, these are some of the reasons why girls are deprived of education. What about you? Please do write in the comment section below.

My Favorite Aircrafts

My favorite aircrafts are the American B17 and F7F Tigercat. I like those two aircrafts because the stories on how they served their country are just incredible. The ways these two aircrafts were made are really cool. And I really like the way their pilots and crew took awesome care of their planes such as cleaning and keeping them in good shape.
