i need a sanity check. yes, i want another tattoo. been pondering again. seahorse!!! seahorse!!!! actually what really want is a frog, but...erm, it's little wonky righT? these past few days at home, i've been glued to animal planet/NGC/discovery channel, and i've been learning about frogs. plus, i'm being a major geek here, but i've been researching on them too. here's the animals i've been researching on: frogs(in general, and mainly those in the south american region, because many of them are endangered there.), horseshoe crabs, several snakes and mammals. im insane i know. looks like my veterinary ambitions, i slowly leaning from domestic and equine/bovine animals, to wild ones. oh, about the seahorse, yea, im not one for sadistic looking things. i love colours! yay! plus i need cash. seahorse or frog? i havent found any nice frogs, but at least i found no less than 90 seahorses, and i liked these two best. yay!

oh, i'm gonna be an even bigger geek by telling all of you SAVE THE FROGS! DO YOU KNOW THAT MAJORITY OF FROG SPECIES ARE ON THE ENDANGERED LIST? ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE ONLY FROGS THAT AREN'T ENDANGERED ARE THOSE BRED ON FARMS FOR FEEDING FISH,and well humans, SO WE SHOULD DO OUR PART BY KEEPING THE ENVIRONMENT CLEAN. NO LITTERING IN FORESTED/SWAMPY AREAS. NO DESTRUCTION OF HABITAT. NO POLLUTION. WE SHOULD CONSERVE THESE PRECIOUS HABITATS TO PROTECT THESE HELPLESS CREATURES.

ehehehe. but it's true. frogs. their so adorable? i've been collecting photos of several of them, will show you some pretty ones now! here they are:

these photographs of the frogs are so beautiful. really in awe of the photographers who managed to capture them in such stances. there are even several who caught them in mid-air, mid-jump. but those were mainly green tree frogs and several toads. oh my god. fetish for frogs anyone? now, when i crave for frogs' legs(yes, that dish wets my appetite man!) i will think twice about it, ok not really, since those are farm-bred and in abundance frogs. oh well. going to thailand, and maybe, if mom will allow, sneak back some rare frogs? but how do i keep them moist onboard a plane without leaving them in a drinking cup or bottle? hehehe. *ponder*.
