It was rainy and the sky was cloudy. The sun was not visible but the circadian clocks inside their small bodies are very precise… It’s time to wake up!
Yesterday’s sundown was the last day-start for Hr. Wigwam Wigglerson. He’d been retired from life since about one hour past midnight today.
Etymology of name: native American Indian tent + father’s alias
Gender: male
Color: white
Parentage: Wiggler Mocha + Isnohontas Kotonbol
Generation: 5th
Litter group: PanapanaIIgang. This is an unexpected litter. The Panapanagang (their young parents) were not separated until after more than 40 days from birth enabling the mating of the young pair. Only two (2) of the resulting six (6) cubs survived.
Spouse: Beria-girdel
Lifespan: 30 months 5 days
Cause of death: Illness of old age
On the eve of his 27th month, Wigwam saw the completion of the tread wheel in the pension house.
Traits and characteristics: Wigwam was grumpy when young, but like grand-uncle Isnobol, became human-friendly as he matured. Still the nervous type, though, and especially hostile to other male hamsters in his family. Has a young-looking face even until old age. During his active hours (strictly from four in the afternoon to around 10 in the evening), refuses to stay inside his cage; after taking his evening meal, prefers to sleep soundly until the morning. Still active in a few hours of the evening.
Gandalf (3rd batch, 2nd generation), from whom the pension house tread wheel was initially named, was the first white male raised in the family. Wigwam was the third and last… He trail-blazed the laying-out of the bridge’s wooden planks on 31 December 2008.
The Wiggler’s son lived 917 days — the longest lifespan in the family so far.

pensyon-haus.
Syuting tips (i-share ko lang) :
1. Zoom to telephoto, para malaki yung size ng sun.
2. Use higher f-stop (for smaller aperture) para deeper
yung depth-of-field, focused yung subject sa foreground
saka yung araw sa background.
3. Kung type mo silhouette lang, huwag mong flash-an.
4. Huwag itutok ang lens nang sobrang tagal sa araw,
baka ma-damage ang CCD or CMOS ng digicam mo.
5. Huwag din sisilip nang matagal sa araw, baka ma-damage
ang mata mo.

honga… nakakalungkot ang pagpanaw ng isang buhay, no matter how insignificant that life may seem to others (or compared to others).
sana umabot na siya sa great exercise wheel in the sky

Salamat sa tag.
KuyaHBH: Eyun, katatapos ko lang… May four days pa
para mabasa before the big day.
[...] Berio was 889 days, a lifespan one month shorter than Wigwam’s. [...]
• After nearly three years when 20 hamsters in
three generations had passed, Wigwam Wigglerson
(5th generation) broke the longest lifespan record of
Mocha Rurik (2nd generation) by 55 days, followed by the Boolaboys (Berio II, by 27 days; Bebong II, by 30 days).
These are three of the five ‘first crossers’ of the newly
finished bridge named after the elder Mocha.
Syma and Amboy are the other two.
