at its 3rd year



marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred

time flies… 

despite of some bruises and scratches i never noticed that three years had pass to our marriage. i’m glad and i know my wife as well that we be able to survive the first three years as a lot of people says this is the most crucial stage in some relationships.  thanks to my wife Mary Jane H. Molina-Encinares for constantly having her immense patience, sticking up with the relationship in spite of some issues between the two of us (actually…ako lang naman mostly e).

of course who can forget the one who is keeping our family solid for the past three years. not me, not my wife but our son MARLEY… the main catalyst in our relationship. every time there’s a fight or some arguments his charming face simply neutralized it all. so because of that we decided to add another neutralizer maybe right after we move-in to the new house hopefully this year.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

why keep tarantula?

why not? once you overcome the cultural taboo involved with keeping spiders and tarantulas as pets, you will quickly realize how incredibly unique these animals are. despite being one of the earth's oldest creatures, tarantulas are highly evolved for their lifestyle. they are perfectly suited for hunting and reproducing in a myriad of environments. there is no end to what you can learn form observing these arachnids.

base on the article i read...tarantulas range in size from only an inch or so to relative giants measuring nearly a foot across. however, the vast majority of species stay small enough to be safely and comfortably housed in a standard 5 gallon terrarium. additionally, tarantulas are one of the most low maintenance pets you will find. once the habitat is initially set up, all that's left is a weekly or twice-a-week feeding, and regular misting of the terrarium to maintain proper humidity. most tarantulas can be maintained in the upper 70's to mid 80's year round, depending on where you live. In most climates this means little or no supplemental heating is required to maintain these animals.

goodtimes!
