Buildings Surviving In The Long Run

Early humans used to have caves as their shelter. When civilization made its way to the world history, buildings are formed with its various functions. It serves the basic needs of society: living space, store belongings, to be comfortable with living and working. Let us date back the famous structures for its longevity.

Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo, Egypt was built in 2560 BC (4570 years standing!). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as an elaborate and extravagant tomb for Pharaoh Khufu. He was entombed in the King’s Chamber, one of the three known chambers within the Great Pyramid.This is built from approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks and was just  built in a span of 20 years!

The Great Wall Of China in China (2410 years) has its wall stretched 5,500 miles (8,851 km) and still continues to be the largest defensive man-made project. The Great Wall protected the many different dynasties that have ruled China over the centuries, but nowadays is a top tourist destination in China.

The Colosseum in Rome, Italy (1930 years) is originally called the Flavian Ampitheatre. The structure wasn’t always used as an amphitheatre though, since in the 12^th century it was fully fortified by the Frangipani family who used it as a castle. Although it still stands proudly in Rome as the top tourist attraction of the city, it suffered massive damage and nowadays only one fully built side is still standing.

Your home could also be a sturdy as these structures. Having a good foundation is the basic key to life-long houses.

There's a Living Barbie Doll!

We all want to be at our best at all time. We make an effort to go to salons, spas, and gym to gratify ourselves and also, to have the "ego." There are people who go beyond the common options. Last April, a 21-year old Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova caught the attention of the people as she became an internet sensation, having a doll-like features. She's not your ordinary doll with round eyes, sweet smile, innocent looks; she is one relic of a 39"-18"-33", 5’9″ Barbie doll. Criticisms flooded, as some believe that it is an unhealthy obsession when they knew that she underwent extensive  plastic surgery. This is undeniably surprising, seeing her unbelievable aesthetic features.


Blonde, ample bust, small waist, wide hips - resembles to a classic Barbie doll.









If having a doll-like features is what makes her happy, so be it. But this doesn't mean that overly patronizing such thing can cause goodness always.

Blame It On The Booze, Got You Feeling Loose

It's a pity how the teenagers of today are that much into vices and misbehavior. Kids today are just so out of control that it's not even a surprise for us anymore seeing kids drink and smoke. It has been a terrible development in this age that the "hope" of the future are put into waste, drinking and having the time of their lives without even thinking about tomorrow.

So parents out there, I urge you to discipline your kids thoroughly regarding this issue, as you do not want to end up being a depressed parent having lost a child  for such a case. Lucky for you if only they were caught by cops going over a red light or speeding. Because you know that your child is safe and there are people like what they have here to help you and your kid out of drunk driving case.

I happen to come across this video on Youtube this morning. The title was so alarming that it made me watch the entire 14 minutes of it. Every fifteen minutes, a teenager dies from drunk driving. I can't help but be sad over this cold fact. It's very depressing actually, not that you care about these undisciplined children, but what about the people you know? Your children, nieces and nephews, sons and daughters of your friends? Calling 911 for accidents caused by drunk driving is common in America.

Great Art? Look Down

I love art, and I think sometimes some of the best art is the stuff you find on the street. In this case it is literally 'on the street'. Sidewalk chalk art isn't what it used to be when I was a kid. It has really changed and spawed a whole new generation of amazing artists who are doing what they love, on the sidewalks of cities everywhere, for a small donation and because they love what they do. Check out the amazing talent,  these artists have.
