Phineas and Ferb is an American animated television comedy series. Originally broadcast as a preview on August 17, 2007, on Disney Channel, the series follows Phineas Flynn and his English stepbrother Ferb Fletcher[1] on summer vacation. Every day the boys embark on some grand new project, which annoys their controlling sister, Candace, who always tries to bust them (but never succeeds—except twice). The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur every episode, and the B-Plot almost always features Perry the Platypus acting as a secret agent (“Agent P”), to fight an evil scientist named Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. The two plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys’ project just before Candace can show it to their mother. This usually leaves Candace very frustrated.

Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh worked together on the Nickelodeon series Rocko’s Modern Life. The Creators also voice two of the main B-plot characters: Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Phineas and Ferb was conceived after Povenmire sketched a triangular boy—the blueprint for the eponymous Phineas—in a restaurant. Povenmire and Marsh developed the series concept together and pitched to networks for 16 years before securing a run on Disney Channel.[1]

The series is also known for its musical numbers, which have appeared in almost every episode since the first-season “Flop Starz“. Disney’s managers particularly enjoyed the episode’s song, “Gitchee, Gitchee Goo”, and requested that a song appear in each subsequent episode.[2] The show’s creators write and record each number, and vary musical tempo depending on each song’s dramatic use.[3] The music has earned the series a total of four Emmy nominations: in 2008 for the main title theme and for the song “I Ain’t Got Rhythm” from the episode “Dude, We’re Getting the Band Back Together“,[4] and then in 2010 for the song “Come Home Perry” from the episode “Oh, There You Are, Perry” as well as one for its score. The series has also been popular with adults.[5][6][7] Phineas and Ferb is currently on its third season.[8]

On August 25, 2011, the show was picked up for a fourth season on Disney Channel, a possible spin-off and feature film for the series.[9] Disney Channel officially announced on November 9, 2011 that fourth season was picked up with new episodes rolling out through 2014.[10] Upcoming episodes include a musical featuring the one-hit wonder “Phineas and the Ferb-tones,” commemoration of Platypus Day, and a winter vacation special featuring seasonal sports and a New Year’s celebration.

Luxurious Bag(HERMES)…

Standard

The Birkin bag is a handbag by Hermès, handmade in leather and named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and elusiveness to the public.[1]

Its prices range from $9,000 to $150,000. Costs escalate according to the type of materials. The bags are distributed to Hermès boutiques on unpredictable schedules and in limited quantities, creating scarcity and, intended or unintended, exclusivity.

Birkin bags are sold in a range of sizes. Each one may be made to order with different customer-chosen hides, color, and hardware fixtures. There are other individual options, such as diamond-encrusting.

  • The bag also has a variety of hides such as calf leather, ostrich, crocodile, and lizard.[4] One of the most expensive is saltwater crocodile skin. Bags with smaller scales cost more than those with larger scales. The bag is lined with goat-skin. The color of the interior matches the exterior. Prices for the Birkin bag depend on the color, hardware fixtures, and skin.[5]
  • Sizes are 25, 30, 35, and 40 centimeters. The 50- and 55-centimeter bags are meant for travelling. It also comes in a variety of colors such as pink, red, brown, baby blue, navy blue, olive green, orange, white, black, and golden tan.[5]
  • The bag has a lock and keys.[4] The keys are enclosed in a leather lanyard known as a clochette, carried by looping through a handle. The bag is locked by closing the top flaps over buckle loops, wrapping the buckle straps, or closing the lock on the front hardware. Locks and keys are number-coded. Earlier locks only bore one number on the bottom of the lock. In more recent years, Hermès has added a second number under the Hermes stamp of the lock. These numbers for locks can be the same for hundreds of locks as they are batch numbers in which the locks were made.
  • The metallic hardware (the lock, keys, buckle hardware, and base studs) are plated with gold or palladium to prevent tarnishing. Hardware is updated regularly to maintain the top quality available in the industry at time of production. The metal lock may be covered with leather as a custom option. Diamonds are another custom addition.[6][4]
  • Hermès offers a “spa treatment” – a reconditioning for overly used bags.
  • A “Shooting Star” Birkin has a stamp shaped like a shooting star adjacent to the “Hermès, Paris Made in France” stamp; this is in gold or silver to match the hardware and embossing. Rarely, the stamp is blind or colorless, if the bag is made of one or two leathers on which Hermes does not use metallic stamping. Birkins or other Hermès bags can sometimes be made by independent craftsmen for “personal use” once a year. Every bag bears the stamp of the craftsperson who made the bag. These identifications vary widely but are not different for every bag made. More than one craftsman’s stamp on a bag is not uncommon because the stamp is not a serial reference. Fonts and stamping orders may vary depending on the craftsman.[6]

In 2008, on Late Show with David Letterman, Hathaway said she had once again stopped smoking.[citation needed] The actress, who had begun smoking “heavily” while filming Rachel Getting Married, had “quit for a while”, but had started again in the wake of her stressful summer and the end of her relationship with Raffaello Follieri.[58][59][60] She credited quitting smoking for the subsequent decline in her stress level, and declared her return to being vegetarian.[60][61]

CHILDHOOD (AteandKuya).

Standard

Friday Photo Flashback

Relationships between brothers and sisters have often been called life’s most influential and longest lasting relationships-lasting longer than ties to parents, spouses, or children (Bank & Kahn, 1997). Folk stories, biblical and classical literature, and numerous biographical and autobiographical accounts of childhood have focused on the role siblings play in children’s development.

The effects of siblings’ influence on the acquisition of prosocial skills such as helping, sharing, and cooperating are well documented. Children who had older brothers and sisters who modeled more friendly and cooperative behavior toward their younger siblings showed more prosocial skills than children whose older siblings exhibited more aggression and teasing toward them (Garcia et al., 2000). The social skills children acquire from their relationships with their brothers and sisters extend beyond the home, influencing interactions with peers. Children who are hostile and aggressive with their siblings are more likely to be rejected by their peer group (Boer & Dunn, 1992, p. 9). Furthermore, negative and hostile sibling relationships appear to predict aggressive and delinquent behaviors with peers as adolescents (Kim et al., 1999, pp. 1209-1210). In other words, research suggests that aggression among siblings and delinquent behaviors often occur together.

This would best explains the idea of having a siblings that certainly helps us emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is really far more different without sibling.

This photo above was taken during our childhood days. That is my elder sister and our very own brother(deceased). At that time  my kuya is still six years old and my ate is four. Our relationship with each other is very much close. Despite that our kuya has been died twenty years ago. “He is so good to us” those are the words which every time I heard from my mom and dad. Because kuya is a very kind son,. During his pre-school, He excelled in the class. He is always on the top. That time, I’m still infant( one-year old). When he died. When every time I saw his portrait. I always tell myself to have him now. Because as what any other people say, it’s good to have kuya. Because you will have the person to talk. to laugh. How I wish I could turn back time. However, it’s ok because I still have ate that so supportive even in my ugliest. hehehe 🙂 She is my partner-in-crime to food trips and fun. And so with my brother.   To that I love  Jesus because He never fails to give what I truly deserve. 🙂

his 1st Artwork! :-)

1. A work of art, artwork, art piece, or art object is an aesthetic item or artistic creation. The term “a work of art” can apply to:

The term “objets d′art” can be a synonym, a popularized version for interior design commerce, or a vulgarism of pretension. This article is concerned with the “work of art” term and concept as used in and applied to the visual arts, although other fields such as auralmusic and written word-literature have similar issues and philosophies.

The term oeuvre is used to describe the complete body of work completed by an artist during their career.[2

2.Illustrative work prepared for reproduction that may consist of drawings, hand lettering, paintings, photographs anything that is not typeset as only text. The final artwork (called camera-ready artwork) usually includes instructions for color registrationand color matching.

 

  • the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
3.the class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings: a museum of art; an art collection.
a field, genre, or category of art: Dance is an art.
4.
the fine arts collectively, often excluding architecture: art and architecture.
5.

any field using the skills or techniques of art: advertising art; industrial art.

 

 

Those above definition are some of the definition of an art. Which might as well help us learn what Art really is. But for me art is everywhere. It is a God-given talent to express our emotion and to what we feel for a certain time. My son is not just a gift to me. He is very much God-given despite the fact of  experiencing inconsistencies,. But still, he never gave me a problem. Actually, he possesses what I want for him during my conception up to giving birth to him. He knows how to draw at young age. (two-year old). That artwork above is actually a cow. 🙂 He draw it because he loves to see the portrait of a cow. Doing his artwork would be the best time to make a super cute bonding with him. It’s worth it. Though sometimes, I have nothing to do but to draw and draw all the time. BUt hehehe 🙂 It’s OK. I’m having fun with my son one way or another. And my mom say’s ” He has the potential to become an Architect someday. But I don’t  cling on that matter. I’ll go for what decision he want if it makes him happy then, why not. To the next time we had another time. We ‘re gonna make a house! INTERESTING isn’t it?
