now i know… where little teddy got his name..☺
July 27, 2009

The name Teddy Bear comes from former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was “Teddy”. The name originated from an incident on a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi in November 1902, to which Roosevelt was invited by Mississippi Governor Andrew H. Longino. There were several other hunters competing, and most of them had already shot something. A suite of Roosevelt’s attendants, led by Holt Collier, cornered, clubbed, and tied an American Black Bear to a willow tree after a long exhausting chase with hounds. They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery, and it became the topic of a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902. While the initial cartoon of an adult black bear lassoed by a white handler and a disgusted Roosevelt had symbolic overtones, later issues of that and other Berryman cartoons made the bear smaller and cuter.
Morris Michtom saw the drawing of Roosevelt and the bear cub and was inspired to create a new toy. He created a little stuffed bear cub and put it in his shop window with a sign that read “Teddy’s bear,” after sending the bear to Roosevelt and receiving permission to sell the bears. The toys were an immediate success and Michtom founded the Ideal Novelty and Toy Co., which still exists today.
At the same time, in Germany the Steiff firm, unaware of Michtom’s bear, produced a stuffed bear from Richard Steiff’s designs. They exhibited the toy at the Leipzig Toy Fair in March 1903 and exported 3000 to the United States.

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go
Can’t do it alone
I’ve tried, but I don’t know why
Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
‘Cause its to much, yeah its a lot
To be something I’m not
I’m a fool, out of love
‘Cause I just can’t get enough
I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go
Can’t do it alone
I’ve tried, but I don’t know why
I’m just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down
I know, I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot in the sky
Just like a giant spot light
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time
It’s a joke, nobody knows
they’ve got a ticket to the
show.

"FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT"
July 24, 2009Do You Believe
One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That’s my point. We can’t see God because he isn’t there. He doesn’t exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!
“FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT”
Psycher…
Once I met such out-of-these world creatures. They must have come from Mount Olympus for they’re so lovely and interesting…(what can you say about that guys??) Life would be lacking if I lose them. They are my friends. It was June 2001 when I first met them. We were on our first year in high school. They were all strangers for me during that time. I don’t even know anyone from the group. We (I was included ofcourse☺), are not yet known as Psycher then. We’re even grouped in different “Barkadas” and do not care about the other groups. It was during our third year when we started being friends. We always had forums and had known each other better. I even considered some of them as sisters and brothers. We made letters and dropped them to the improvized mail boxes located at the walls of our room. I love recalling those days. We’ll ask permission from our parents about an overnight for a project. But that was not the main purpose for we’ll do other things… Now we’re all grown ups… I really missed these guys.. Definitely some of them have their works now….
