Food for frog? Bon appetit!

What will a woman associate a frog with? Prince Charming?

And what will a man think of a frog? A bait for fishing!

See the difference? The image of Prince Charming didn't pop up in a four-year-old girl's mind by chance, it's taught. Catching a trophy fish with a frog is a boy's dream when a fishing rod is in his hands, but it's also taught.

What's my point? Nothing new... Girls growing up are protected from the exposure to violence of mother nature while boys are, on the opposite, allowed to learn from it. Having said that, I cannot deny the fact that genetic makeup plays a major role in the differences.

As a grown up, I like frog because it is one of those amphibians that existed in the dinosaur period, but it doesn't have the chainsaw-like teeth to bite while I'm gaming at it through the lens of my camera. I can also use it to catch a fatty bass to indulge my caveman instinct. However, I'm not a big fan of using frog as bait for some reason. May be it's too cruel, I don't know. But here comes the dilemma, I do enjoy deep fried frog legs. I guess you can make a point that any wildlife could be a friend of yours in one country but a delicacy in another.

One other thing I couldn't resist is to take videos and photographs of LBJ, that really arouse my... no, it's not that... I mean my creativity and fulfill my curiosity. It's like watching an episode of National Geographic live.

Next time, when you wonder why I'm so obsessed? Just remember one thing, researchers do spend hours observing the behavior of a frog. I'm no researcher, and I could be just like other guys keeping their fingers busy on video games in iPhone, Wii, and DS, but I would rather keep my eyes on a frog for leisure. Perhaps I'm old-school.

Throw me a short comment, would you?

Now watch LBJ catching its prey in lightning speed. Bon appetite!

Who doesn't want to be a celebrity and become famous and rich?

Just ask some of the people in LA who are taking up odd jobs to subsidize their livings in order to fulfill their dreams – the dream that one day, they will have the opportunity to perform in front of a movie camera, to be somebody in Hollywood.

Even animals couldn't resist that temptation. Or should I say the owners of the animals couldn't? Just watch the TV commercials with animals, mostly humorous, being used to sell products.

Pigeons? Check!

What about a dog and a horse? Yes, together. Don't worry, it's not an animal porn clip.

Have you forgotten the cowboy monkey? Well, you better not.

All of these ads were very successfully recalled by audience and generated handsome profits for not only the advertisers, but also the owners of the animals.

For that matter, I want to be one of those animal owners who don't have the talent to act or sing, let alone my look, to have a chance under the spotlight. The problem is, I don't have ANY animals! All I have is a little tree frog named LBJ (LoBo Jr.). Well then, maybe LBJ can pull off a serious commercial to sell an advertiser, who knows.

For one thing, I don't want to be a celebrity and I don't want to be famous. But I can live with having a small fortune out of my hobby. Watch.
