George, my pet dog just turned 10 years old this month. I am grateful to have such lovable and loyal pet. Happy birthday and more years to come!

The unrestricted love and companionship of dogs toward their owners have earned them the title “Man’s Best Friend”. Like a best friend, you can count on them every time you are feeling down. Dogs will accept you despite your imperfections and will stay besides you even during your toughest situations. This is because dogs are very companionable animals and they are loyal to their masters. 

Aside from companionship, they are also good workers. They can guard your properties and can be a loyal aid for disable individuals. In addition, dogs have a positive influence on our health. According to studies, dog owners show strong resistance to stress, have lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and have lower risk of heart diseases. 

Below are other interesting facts about dogs: 
  • According to Wikipedia, the smallest adult dog was a breed called Yorkshire Terrier, with a height of 2.5 inches and a length of 3.7 inches.

Contentment is the key. Don't lose it.

 I am not really a fan of boxing. But as a Filipino, I have no choice but to listen to boxing updates every time there is an upcoming Manny Pacquiao boxing event. And during the actual fight, I am glued on my TV and I am one with the nation praying for Manny's success. The hype of every Pacquiao's fight is so intense that every Filipinos even in the remotest areas in the Philippines are tuned in to the live telecast of Manny's fight. Whether its from a free pay-per-view  set-up in a town hall sponsored by a local politician or simply in the comfort of their homes via delayed telecast from a local TV station, Filipinos from all walks of life are always cheering on every punch Manny gives to his opponent. And for every victorious fight, the nation celebrates with Manny. But his last fight with Tim Bradley was totally different, Filipinos were not excited anymore. Somehow, Pacman already lost some of his charms. Maybe it all started when he entered showbiz, he became an actor

Destiny and Happiness

In my previous post entitled “In Search of your Destiny” , I mentioned that it takes only one person, one event, and one decision to help you discover your destiny.

About Joshua Miguel

I grew up believing that dreams do come true. I was taught that as long as you work hard, follow your heart's desire, do good, and pray to God, your dreams will someday become a reality. I was also taught that If you fail once, try again and if you still fail, try harder. As they say, try and try until you die. I turned into writing blogs to release my frustrations in life. I wrote articles in Hubpages, Triond, Bukisa, and Associated Content. I am no longer active on those sites, I just created this blog site and  concentrated on this instead. Who is Joshua Miguel?

That is the story behind my pen name and that is the reason why my blog-site's name is "Joshua's Page ". All articles in this blog-site were inspired by my day to day tho ughts and experiences. Hope you will en
