| How can anyone find it in themselves to kill whales? |
[Oct. 21st, 2009|01:01 pm] |
I get this overwhelming feeling everytime I see whales on TV. Whenever I see them frolicking in their natural habitat, living, surviving. It makes me want to cry because it's so beautiful. It pains me when I see them being killed.
I love how Bindi(the Jungle Girl) says "My dad..." like she's so very proud of her father. It's so sweet.

At the rate the weather is going, I think we're all going to burn to death come the end of the world. Global warming and climate change will be the death of all of us if things don't start changing. |

Whheeee. Jason Mraz did an entry on the Australian town banning bottled water tooooo! My post(click) and his post(click)! I am happy:) And I hope you cared to click and read.
Don't buy bottled water. Don't buy bottled water. Don't buy bottled water.
"If there’s anything that boils my blood, it’s bearing witness to the unseen amounts of wasted water and unwanted plastic. I see it as arrogance really, to buy a small quantity of water and then toss the plastic immediately."

I'm watching Strange Days On Planet Earth on National Geographic and it's making me feel absolutely helpless. They found plastic in the stomach of Albatrosses(sea birds). That's just wrong. That is just so wrong it makes me feel sick. Obviously the Earth doesn't just churn out plastic for our animals to feed on. The plastic in the ocean is a result of OUR waste. The humans. They come from the land that we live on and destroy. US. We are such killers. It's not just the Albatrosses. Sea turtles too and God knows how many other species.
Dear Lord please help us.
Please go watch the show. |

| It is not just about the paper. |

| |  annoyed | ] |
So, today after spending a half hour or so printing stuff for AC, Nina handed me a whole stack of paper printed on one side telling me I could use it for rough paper. I honestly thought she was just kidding, I thought she was just trying to annoy me because she knew how much I hated it when people wasted paper. She wasn't. They(2 other AC people were with her) printed about 50 sheets of some indemnity form and just because one letter "E" got cut off, they(just one of them, NOT Nina) decided to get rid of the entire stack.
What the blooooody fuck?! Just because the letter "E" from the word "knowledge" was missing?! I wanted to flip but I was rushing for consult so I didn't get the chance to give them a piece of my mind.
Then Nina and Sue told me "Thank goodness you weren't involved in Rocka(some event they had over the weekends), we wasted like a whole box of paper." Once again, What the bloody fuck?! How does one waste a whole box paper?! It may have been exaggerated but judging from the amount of paper AC wastes( I know because I've seen), I'm guessing that is pretty much true. Oh and they were quick to say "Of course they'll be reusing the paper and recycling it la."
Firstly, hello numbskulls(not referring to Sue and Nina but the whoever in general is guilty) what is the bloody point in wasting paper and trying to make yourself feel better by saying "Oh we won't throw away the tons of paper we stupidly printed wrongly on! We'll reuse them on the blank side! Can recycle!"(Note that they already have a whole box of rough paper like that). It's like saying "Oh! I stabbed him! But don't worry! I pulled out the object I stabbed him with and left him to bleed with the open wound!" (Apologies if that example doesn't sound right, but you get the drift right?).
Is it so difficult to check whether whatever you're printing is right on one sheet of paper first before printing it in large numbers straightaway?
Let me stress that this is NOT because I feel annoyed that we're wasting paper. This post is because so many of us waste resources and don't even feel a tad bit guilty for it. It irks me so badly when we're so ignorant, so blatantly ignorant even though so many people have been warning us and trying to make us more aware.
What is it going to take for us to finally realize?! Really., what the hell is it going to take for us to wake up from this ignorant slumber that we aren't even aware of being in? Just fucking wake up already. |

Life has given me the, me the creeps.
I need you to make, to make, to make me weak.
I have made my world my own, I've made it my own,
And I have never been so alone.
I can't stop my brain from moving
In an awful direction Lord.
I can't stop my hands from doing
what I don't want to do anymore.
I've been wrong,
I've been right,
But tonight
I just wanna be yours.
I'm planning this out
To be all about me.
I, I am wrong can you help me?
I can't stop this brain from moving
in an awful direction Lord.
I can't stop these hands from doing
what I don't want to do anymore.
I've been wrong,
I've been right,
but tonight
I just wanna be yours.
I've got to let go of all of this,
'cause I'm dragging me down, down.

On the top of my Business Accounting tutorial are the words "When things get rough, remember it's the rubbing that brings out the shine." WTF?! Is that supposed to be inspirational or something? It only made me not want to do my tutorial because reading that made me feel profoundly unintellectual. Stoooopid

I overhead a conversation in the lift between two siblings, around 7-9 years old about a paper plane. They were whispering to each other.
Girl: I'm going to name it Amazer.
Boy: Huh? What?
Girl: Amazer. You know why I name it Amazer?
Boy: Why?
Girl: Because it's amazing and it spins when I throw it.
Boy: Orhhhh, so when people look at it they will stop and stare right?
Girl: Yah!
I can't quite put a finger on why it made me smile but it did. |

"So then if we choose to eradicate ourselves from this Earth, in whatever means the Earth goes nowhere, and in time it will regenerate, and all the lakes will be pristine, the rivers, the waters, the mountains, everything will be green again. It'll be peaceful. There may not be people but the earth will regenerate. and you know why? Because the earth has all the time in the world, and we don't. So I think that's where we're at, right now."

The love for life, music, nature, the world and its culture, I get from you.
I love how all my life you have always been a big book filled with knowledge.
I love how you are always able to answer my questions.
You teach me to love, to care, to be a good person.
You show me, love, care and how to be a person of dignity.
You are my father, my teacher, my role model, and you are the biggest reason I am me.
Through the smiles, the love, the fights, the anger and the tears, I love you always. I love you 2. Butterfly kisses forever.

I am so tired. I'm not quite sure why I'm blogging on my LJ. The 2weeks of holidays seemed to have sufficed. Yay to that. I woke up earlier then I was supposed to today. Wtfwtfwtf! Oh well. I just want to finish today and get back into bed later. Heheh.
It'll be one heck of a miracle if dad allows me to go for Ian's New Year's Eve party. But I'm probably going to miss my parents if I do go. Haha. Sucker. Okay I think I'm going to go lie down again. Ciao for now. |
