Interesting facts about Santa Claus

As I woke up one morning, I realized that the Christmas is coming in a couple of weeks now because of the cold breeze that is coming outside. What else what we think of before this event comes? Of course, gifts from Santa Claus. Children believe that Santa Claus will come in their house through the chimney and will give them gifts if they do well in a whole year. Though this is only a superstitious belief, many children still believed that there is really a Santa Claus.

So, where Santa really came from?

A Creepy All Saints Day

I was just finished watching horror movies and I still feel shivering because the movie has good sounds and visual effects making it looks like real. And so after one month, we are again celebrating All Saints Day and there are a lot of partygoers who loved to attend a Halloween Party. Some said that this is the most treacherous period of the year, when witches and Satanists take children off the streets and sacrifice them in the name of the evil one. (Well this is what we always here when we are young to keep us leaving the house at night). 

As I reminisced my childhood days when All Saints Day is about to come and a lot of people are talking about Halloween, I began wondering where and when Halloween really came from. So I make some research about this and found out that the word Halloween was contracted form of Holy Evening and signifies to the evening of All Saints Day, when Christians conventionally remember believers of other periods who are particularly good role models of faith in which a lot of them were tortured, persecuted, and/or even died rather than to give up Christ.

They began developing this game on March 2009 and today their aficionado base is already playing Angry Birds more than a combined 100 million hours every day. Rovio was only searching for a simple and easy game that they can bring to the platforms of touch screen mobile phones that will also be accessible with other gaming platforms.

The Natures of Bats

My family and I went to the bat kingdom yesterday and I really wonder why bats are among the most hated, feared and misunderstood animals all over the globe. This is because of their appearance since their eyes are almost the same with a fox. As I researched about the some interesting facts about bats, I discovered that bats are the only mammal that can really fly and they are the second biggest order of mammals worldwide. 

 

The species of bats reach for over 1,000 kinds globally and you can find them in every continent except Antarctica. They cannot live in places that are very cold or very hot. The biggest bats can be found in warm places, while little bats live in both cold and warm areas. When the weather is cold, they hibernate or migrate in warmer climate.

Hachiko: The Most Loyal Dog in the World

I just wonder why dogs are very well-known as man’s best friend. That is why I searched for an answer and you also want to know why right? The answer is very simple. It is because dogs are very loyal and will guard their master no matter what happen. They are also faithful companions and very affectionate too.

My friend told me that he watched a movie about the most loyal in the world so I borrow the DVD and watched it. As I watched that movie about a loyal dog name Hachiko, an Akita from Tokyo, it really softened my heart because he is really faithful and waits for his master for one decade on the train station to come back. This was a very touching movie that shows how faithful a dog can be. 

One, Two, Three, SMILE

Every time that there is picture taking, you will always hear “Say cheese”. This term is another way of saying to smile. I just wonder why there are big differences when a person smiles at you. As I research for this article, I found out that smiling is one of special and best features of every human. This is also your best way to show other people that you are in your good mood.

To smile is also a symbol to express your feelings to your family, loved ones and friends. This is also a great way to express your love, care and friendship that will be known by others as something that really comes to your heart. Most of the people agree (and I am too) that smiling is like a disease that can be transferred to others especially to those who always mad and sad.

Star Light, Star Bright

As I was gaze in the sky last night, I saw thousands to millions of stars in the sky. Then I remember the event last year when the evening star, or also known as the planet Venus sits on top of a crescent moon. This was happened last May 16, 2010.

This was a very beautiful sight that very evening where almost everybody saw this once in a blue moon event. You may wonder how does the planet Venus sits on top of the crescent moon that day. This was because the orbit of the planet Venus lies inside the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. And when the Venus’s orbit passes between the Sun and to our planet Earth, it also reproduces the Sun’s light to our planet so when it moves from the evening to the morning sky, it becomes extremely noticeable and looks like a star.

You can find monkey in any part of the world, even though their species vary from one place to the other. They come from Kingdom Animalia and Phylum Chordata. As I stated above, they are also mammals like humans. There are an approximately 125 species of monkey all over the world.

Well, as far as my Farmville and CityVille is concerned, I am also quite worried that Mark Zuckerberg will shut down the most popular social networking site in more than two months ahead. However, ii also figured out that how can it happen when there are more than 500 million users all over the world are using Facebook?

That is why how can it be happened that they will shut it down?

ANTS: Small but Terrible

I recently watched the movie “The Bugs Life” and I became curious about the life and existence of those ants. Although they look bigger in the screen, they are very tiny in real life. And as I go to our backyard I saw a colony of ants and I wonder where they came from. They seem like very disciplined because people will always saw them walking and working always falling in line. As I browse through the web (because they really captured my curiosity), I found out that ants have been living in this Earth for over 100 million years.

Also, there are approximated 20,000 various species of ants and they were called as the most thriving species here on Earth. They also build several types of homes. Most of them construct little mountains out of sand or dirt, just what I saw on our backyard. Other use small sticks combined with sand and dirt to have stronger mountain that provides protection from rain.
