Unlucky Day: real or not?

         Have you ever experienced to be unlucky in one day? Me? I have. In fact,yesterday, September 06, 2011, was my unlucky day. It was the worse thing that I have ever experienced in my whole life where many bad things happened just in one day. That day was the 19th birthday of my younger sister, and there so many bad things happened during that day. I thought it was the last day of my life.  Thank God it's not or it would be the worst death that I've ever imagined. The bad things that happened during that have become worse and worse everytime. I tell you what unlucky things happened during that day.

        It started when I wake up in the morning. I was called to meet the interested buyer of our other house.  And then the meeting was made and there was a negotiation done. In fact, it was not the first meet, though it was with another representatives.  After that, unfortunately, the buyer set some schedule on the payment, but not on that day, though he is interested. Actually, he is not the buyer. He is only the representative negotiating in behalf of the buyer. That may be the first unlucky things that happened. If that may be the first, then the second unlucky thing that happened during that day was when I lost my cedula to be used in the transaction. I search but I found nothing. So I decided to apply it again. Of course, with payment . Indeed, it is not the worse that happened. It is not even the worst. But it is still on the list of unlucky things that have happened. The next was the worse and become worse and worse everytime. The third unlucky thing that happened was when I deliver the groceries so that It will be cooked before the party starts. But on my way, the wheel of my motorcycle became flat. So I go to a vulcanizing shop and so on. The fourth time was when I'm about to withdraw the ATM Card of my father. My father did not inform me that he changed the pin code. So I enter the wrong pin three times thinking that I am sure that it was the right code. But unfortunately, as expected the ATM Machine did not spit the card, instead it was stuck in there. And the fifth one happened too close from the fourth. Of course, because of what happened, I decided to call my father to inform what had happened but misfortune dominate my day. My cellphone run out of load. Unfortunately, I don't know about emergency calling. So, I thought of other possible things to do. Then I got the idea to ask for assistance in the bank. But still, unfortunately, the bank was close that time (not office hour). That's the sixth time. I run out of ideas and I have no choice but to go back home and inform my father. But when I get back home, I was scolded even though it was his mistake that he did not informed me. So, my friend, who has the knowledge, accompanied me there to get the card. But on our way, we are almost been crushed by a truck. But, thank God I was able to dodged the truck and luckily managed to avoid the accident. That was the seventh time. And the eight was when we get there, the manager was not around and we have no choice but to go back and wait for tomorrow. But on our way there, too close to our destination, the wheel of my motorcycle got flat again. And I was forced to bring it to a vulcanizing shop on foot. That's almost a kilometer far. I suppose it was the ninth. And whats worse, it takes almost 3 hours to repair it and I was able to go back home night. What an unlucky day it is.

         I have never experienced something like that in my whole life. At first, I don't believe in luck or badluck. Before, I did not believe such thing It's not even in my vocabulary. But now, I proved it. Is there really such thing like that? 

Gecko died hanging upside down

       This day I just found a lizard. It's not just an ordinary Lizard, but it's a gecko or commonly called tuko. You want know what a gecko is? According to "wikipedia", Geckos are unique among lizards in their vocalizations, making chirping sounds in social interactions with other gecko's. It belongs to the family of "Gekkonidae", the largest among lizards. And its name "tuko" comes from its sound that it make.

       At first, I have no Idea what kind of Lizard it is because of it's unfamiliar color, somewhat a dinosaur-like looks. Later that I know that it was a Gecko or commonly called a "tuko". Thanks to the help of the internet that I'm able to uncover its identity.

       It started when I was cleaning the house upstairs. I was mopping that time. I even go to that CR, where I found the Gecko, twice without even noticing the Gecko. That is on the third time that I was able to notice it. And you won't believe it! The Gecko is hanging upside down. And I have pictures and Videos to prove it.

      I don't know if the gecko has an owner or how long did the gecko hang in there. But when I found it, it was alive and still moving and I'm able to take pictures and videos to it. A few minutes later, I decided to take it from there and put it in a temporary cage and thinking what I'm going to do with it. But, unfortunately, when I took it, it was dead already. I didn't notice that it was dying when I take pictures to it. I was able to saw it moving its mouth and its hands. That maybe its last breath. 

      I think this poor creature really suffered from hunger and starvation before dying. In short, this poor creature starves to death. It is so thin when I looked at it and its eyes open widely. Similar to the symptoms of starvation. And whats worse is it starves while hanging upsidedown rain or shine. And to tell you, it rains here several times and the heat of the sun is really intense.

        You know what moral lesson can we get to that gecko? This gecko taught us that "there is no harm in trying." he he. This gecko didn't even try to fall down. It chose to be starved to death than to try to fall down to escape or maybe the gecko is stuck. That's why it can't fall down.

      Nowadays, geckos are being traded around the world in a high price. It can be sold for hundreds of thousands up to millions depending on its weight. So, you wonder why this creature have that much worth? There are some hearsay spreading that Geckos are being used as a cure to some illness. its not just an ordinary illness. It is believed to cure cancer. If its true, then Geckos are really in danger and will soon be in the list of endangered species. This would be good news to us, but this is a bad news to these creatures.
