The New and Tiny Beyonce!

When we hear the name Beyonce, it is just a shortcut for the beautiful, goddess-like and very talented woman whom Jay-Z loved and just had their first baby recently... but when we utter the word (BEYONCE), the title for this post suppose to have a BIG and HUGE  impact, right?

But why tiny Beyonce?

Because, even I'm one of the greatest fan of this star, this post is not about her...

This is all about this poor, little, yet very lucky thing... Beyonce - the 10-centimeter puppy.

I was watching the news last night when this pup was one of the headlines. According to the report, Beyonce was a Dachsund which was the last out puppy of mommy Casey. It was said that pregnant Casey was abandoned and delivered her little ones on the street. They were just very lucky that the rescuers of the Grace Foundation Animal Shelter (Northern California) had found them and had revived the limp and tiny Beyonce who, at that time has no heartbeat. 

In order to revive her, the veterinarian had done CPR for this little thing to come back to life and the vet had managed to do so - Thanks Doc!

Knowing Beyonce's size after three-weeks (10 cm), she's smaller than our 1-month old kittens at home which were about 18-centimeter and by seeing these kittens, it seems that she's like a kitten too. She can consume Dita's milk (the mommy cat) if she likes the taste. (laugh)

Being different from her siblings and being reasonably small, the Foundation who had managed to save Beyonce and her family submitted an application to the Guinness World Records for her to be the World's Smallest Dog.

Cinnamon Challenge

Surfing the net today, I encountered an article: TRENDING - Cinnamon Challenge!




I got curious why such a condiment-eating become a challenge. It was said that a politician, a comedian and two athletes are up to this challenge. I can't tell why they use such as a challenge? Is cinnamon that strong to be a dare-devil meal? Well, honestly, I haven't had a grasp of this condiment. I haven't tasted it either. All I know is that it can be mixed in a coffee; one that can make a bread taste better... what else?

Since cinnamon got me curious, I researched for it.(What a pity me!)Here's what I've got. According to Wikipedia, Cinnamon is a spice which came from the bark of a tree of the genus cinnamomum used in sweet and savoury foods. It seems that this cinnamon is something that can make one eat more than he can fill his stomach. According to some people on Yahoo Answers, Cinnamon does not have a particular taste. They say its sweet, bitter, sour.But they say that Cinnamon has a sweet woody fragrance... (Hmmm...I think, I can sense it a bit...) uhm, it's delicious (laugh).All I can is to imagine its taste (What a shame).

Okay, let's go back to the challenge, so since it is a spice, well I think it is not a big deal to become a challenge. Let me share to you this TV show in the Philippines called Eat Bulaga where they had a segment way back about year 2003 named SAK MO (Sige Ano, Kaya Mo?) where contestants have to take anything served as part of the challenge (i.e., ampalaya (Bitter Melon) juice, maggots,onion, raw eggs, siling labuyo, bell pepper, etc.). Another is the South Korean TV show Exploring the Human Body where members of the Super Juniors took the hottest chili called JOLOKIA and members of the formerly known as TVSQ (They separated into two boy group: TVSQ and JYJ) ate a bowl of rice mixed with this stomach-crunching, toilet-breaking Jolokia...

AMPALAYA




JOLOKIA


... and that's what I called a challenge...

Well I think if eating JOLOKIA became VIRAL like eating Cinnamon, a lot of people will be racing their butts in the toilet to make themselves comfortable. (LOL)

So, as a response to this viral challenge, I will have to...





... eat MILO instead (Slurp!)... Nyahahaha!
