Maska is my 2-month old Siberian Husky-Belgian Malinois cross pup. He's been with me for almost 3 weeks now. Before I took him in, some folks told me crossbreeds usually have behavior problems. I'm not a dog expert but somewhere in my mind, a theory lodges in there before I shot the question at Yahoo! Answers. I think dog behaviors highly depend on how owners raise them when they are still very young. Huskies and Malinois are both highly energetic and active. They also belong to the same class: working dogs.

I think Maska is a wonderful cross (also pointed out on Yahoo! Answers), bearing some slight resemblance to his Husky father but his build and form is more of a Malinois. Both breeds are also loyal and highly intelligent.

Shuffle

I could not seem to recall when was the last time I visited the K of C drive. The K of C drive is a place for friends, lovers, broken hearts, sunset lovers and some more. The place used to free, now they are taxing two pesos per head upon entrance. Vehicles are not allowed anymore inside (except for vendors) and there's a cottage rental at 100Php. As I approached the gate and asked the lady when did they start asking for fees, she replied 3 years ago. Has it been that long? I could still remember we go down and take a dip in its waters when we were bored during a hot summer afternoon. I could still remember running in the midst of the street and shout, "the hills are alive..." even though there were no hills around us. I could still remember us cousins playing a "seesaw" in the water using a "salbabida". Ours were made from patched up old truck tires. I could remember our eldest cousin as he swam further and further into the horizon and wished I had the same courage to brave the waves, the current, the seaweeds and to whatever that lurks below these waters.

Still, I could not find myself when was the last time I was here.

The 2009–2013 campaign calls on all those responsible for diabetes care to understand diabetes and take control. For people with diabetes, this is a message about empowerment through education. For governments, it is a call to implement effective strategies and policies for the prevention and management of diabetes to make sure that their citizens with and at risk of diabetes receive the best possible care. For healthcare professionals, it is a call to improve knowledge so that evidence-based recommendations are put into practice. For the general public it is a call to understand the serious impact of diabetes, to know how to identify the condition and, where possible, know how to avoid or delay diabetes and its complications.
