Do you follow PUNCH? The Japanese monkey, who became an internet sensation overnight. It was his first birthday yesterday & the zoo authority received around 2,500 greetings card from around the world. And, ironically on that very day, he ripped off the eyes of the soft-toys which had been his emotional support all these months....people say, that's the symbol of his growing up...

I just love Punch and his story. I’m so glad he has his own group to love and play with after all this time.

I haven't been, but then there are times where I feel like I'm living under a rock.
