At least I hope I am So many things happened in the last 6 months and I can’t wait to share them and hear what you think but first things first! Valentine’s day is coming and I’m thinking of getting a present for my wife in advance. So many times I waited for the last moment and sometimes I messed it (haha – it’s gunny now but it wasn’t back then…). I found these ideas for Valentine’s gifts and I am wondering what are you planning to buy for your wives/girlfriends? Any thoughts?

Paleontology scientists have discovered the oldest root stem plant cells. They were found in an old fossil about 320million years old. The cells were found in a root tip of an ancient plant. The cells is gave rise to the ancient plant roots. Trap jawed new ant species was discovered in piece of Burmese Amber which is about 99million years old. The new species is called Ceratomyrmex ellenbergeri. It belongs to the earliest ant linage of the Haidomyrmecin tribe. Ceratomyrmex ellenbergeri lived 99million year ago during the cretaceous period. The discovery of over 6000 Antarctic marine fossils indicated the mass extinction scenario that had all dinosaurs killed at the Polar Regions is thought to be sudden and equally hazardous to life at the poles. Creatures at the poles were previously thought to be in less hazardous position at the southern pole during mass extinction event. Mitochondrial genome of a fossil of about 3500years old was retrieved in Pestera Muierii in Romania. The fossil is part of the first population of the human species that inhabited Europe. The lineage she (the fossil) belongs to embarks the theory of back migration to Africa during the Paleolithic period. Snail eating marsupial fossils have been discovered by paleontologists in Australia. The snails were previous known to have lived in Australia between 10 to 15million years ago. The new family has been named Malleodectidae and using its massive premolar tooth to break into marsupials, favorite meal. Evidence has been found on the predation of the ancient microbial ecosystem. Electron microscope was used to view minute fossils, which dates up to 740millions years. Circular holes were found and thought to may have been formed by an ancient Vampyrellidae amoeba, which reach inside to consume the cell content of the microbial systems. Fossils of a new species of ichthyosauri form marine reptile have been discovered in Anhui Province in China. The reptile species lived 248 million years ago. The new species was named Sclerocormus parviceps; flourished in the oceans of the Mesozoic era.

What a Surprise Birthday Party

Robin Alston — Fri, 27 May 2016 08:41:07 +0000

A birthday is a very important day in someone’s life as he or she celebrates the day they were born. You get eager to be older right, that’s why people get excited during their birthdays. However there are some occasions where people get committed in such a way that they forget about their birthdays. Have you ever experienced such an occasion? My friend here can tell you the experience, check the story below. “I woke up as usual to prepare for work as my routine scheduled. That was on Monday morning. After all the preparation just before I left the house, I had a phone call from my best friend Nicholas. I wondered what the call was about at that moment because he had never called me at that time. I picked the call ready to hear what the call was all about. Nicholas greeted and asked me if I could pass by his place after work. I told him I may not make it though he insisted and managed to convince me. I didn’t even realize anything by then since I thought that he wanted us to discuss something important that could not be discussed through the phone. After finishing my duties that day, I planned on how to go to my friend’s place. On reaching the door I felt it strange since I heard many people talking inside and music playing loud volume. To make it worse, on knocking the door, guys went quiet and music was stopped, imagine the room which was full of yelling and chanting being a pin drop silence. What could you think of if it were you? The door was opened slowly by Nicholas and abruptly closed my eyes as he directed me inside the house. I panicked a bit. On entering the house, he opened my eyes and the crowd sang a happy birthday song. I was like, “oh my goodness what a surprise, I ran out of words.’’

A WEEK TO OUR ANNIVERSARY

Robin Alston — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:40:32 +0000

My wife and I will be celebrating our anniversary coming week. In our marriage life, an anniversary is a vital occasion. This is because we are celebrating the previous years we’ve been together and the fact that we are still by each other’s side. As for wedding anniversary presents, they are just a symbol of love and gratitude we feel for one another. My wife is very excited for this year’s anniversary while on the other hand, I’ve been wondering what gift to surprise her with. On previous years, I have taken to her jewelry, clothes and we’ve gone for trips, to mention but a few. I’m sure this year she will be expecting a different gift but I’m caught up because it seems like my ideas are running low. When we go on trips, we arrive at the specific destinations a day earlier and leave a day after the actual day and month we got married. We go for long walks on the beach, and make sure we take a dive in the sea/ocean. And there’s nothing as beautiful as watching the sunset with the love of your life. Spending each awakening day with my wife is the best gift I could ask for. So during our anniversary trips, I make sure that I treat her in accordance to the value she has in my life. In case we don’t go to a beach, and instead visit amazing romantic places like Paris (city of love), we ensure we visit all those wonderful sites and take pictures for memories sake. Like all lovers do, we are not ashamed to share our love because that’s the reason why we are still together and it’s what we are celebrating. As for jewelry, diamond accessories are the highlight of it all. Diamond earrings or necklace, really do complement my wife’s complexion. Whenever I go to a gift shop, I seek only for the best jewelry and since I know my wife’s taste, I make sure I get her a present that will wow her and will act as an emblem of that special day to us. Clothe shopping for women, especially for a guy like me is a bit tough. But at the end of the day, it’s all worth it because you are doing it for the woman you love. My wife loves dresses a lot so that’s always my target area but I tend to get her one that’s different from those she owns or from her favorite designer. I have to admit the tension that comes with this kind of present because I’m not always sure if she will like or reject it. Good thing so far, I have never disappointed. I believe good outfits should never be wasted, so I always take my lovely wife out on a dinner date. So this year’s anniversary gift is still a mystery to me. What to get her is merely the problem but something meaningful is. Behind every anniversary present is a symbol of what I feel for her. I have not failed to show her how much I love her more after every anniversary and this won’t be the first.
