TicTac Treat

PhotobucketRight after lunch, my sister Jennie, Josh & I were in the room playing with Ozzy. The little boy was rummaging through my bag and kept on saying “ic ac”. I knew he wanted tictacs. He has always loved tictacs especially the orange one which is minty yet sweet. It is always nearby because I can bribe him with that.

So anyway… Jennie suddenly remembers a test for kids.

She gave 1 tictac to Ozzy, looked him in the eye and calmly explained to him that if he keeps an eye on the treat for 1 minute she’ll give him 1 more. She placed the tictac on the table and the three of us proceeded to chat. We did not bother Ozzy or talk to him; but we were quietly observing him. I can see that he wanted to grab the little treat but he kept on hesitating then would glance at us occasionally.

Surprisingly, 1 minute passed by and he was still there. Glued to where we left him eyes fixed on the treat.

As his reward, his Aunty Jennie gave him 2 tictacs. He was so happy. Holding his 2 treats. Honestly, I didn’t think he’d pass that test. Knowing my son he is impatient like me, but he understood the concept of waiting to get a reward.

Amazing.

Sorry no new updates worth reading. I feel - crap. Don’t really know why. Maybe because there’s drought in ‘tasks’ here in my blog? hehe.

Got to Believe..

…In magic.

The most popular illusionist and escapist of all time would be Harry Houdini because he was the very first to try acts which require him to free himself from jails, handcuffs, chains, ropes, and straitjackets, often while hanging from a rope in plain sight of street audiences.

Admittedly even though all kinds of magician’s secrets are revealed on television and print there will always be that mystery to them. Nicholas Sarantakos better known as Criss Angel best known for starring in his own television show, Criss Angel Mindfreak is on a league of his own and may as well be the next Harry Houdini or better.

Angel, an American illusionist, musician, escapologist, stunt performer, and actor is set to appear at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas to perform his most notable illusions which include walking on water, levitating, floating between two buildings, causing a Lamborghini to disappear, surviving in an exploding C4 Crate, cutting himself in half and getting run over by a steamroller while lying stomach down on a bed of glass.

I am such a non-believer of magic and such but watching performances of our modern illusionist like Criss Angel make me think otherwise. There is certainly fascination and awe on my part especially when objects or the people are lifted off the ground!

Cirque Du Soleil is schedule to perform on the 1st of September 2008 and will be featuring CRISS ANGEL called ‘CRISS ANGEL Believe‘. Don’t forget to check it out and to WIN FREE INVITES join the TEXT MESSAGING CONTEST (Text ‘Believe’ to 22122 to win 2 tickets to ‘CRISS ANGEL Believe’).
