Some Eco-Friendly Tips

Okay.. I'm always talking about being more environmentally friendly.. Well, here are some tips that you can follow to be more eco-friendly.. There should be regular blogs whenever I find more tips..

K.. Wash in cold water, use florescents, keep the AC low.. Or use no AC at all!!!

Your probably giving me that face like, "wth is she thinking? ITS SUMMER FOR BLOG'S SAKE!"

Yeah, I know.. But honestly, we all complain that its too cold, then it gets warm and we're all like let's make our houses like the arctic! No.

Instead of using the AC (air conditioning or aircon for all my filipino friends. :D), why don't you try these easy tricks??

Open the windows so the breeze outside blows into the house.
Fans are helpful and don't use as much energy as the AC.
Keep the windows open at night.
During the day, close windows and blinds and turn off lights.
Lights = more heat.
Put cold cloths or ice cubes on pulse points to cool down the entire body.
Wear damp clothes to keep you refreshed.

These are just some pointers for keeping cool over the summer without breaking your AC.

Happy summer, and remember to be eco-friendly. :)

The 11th Hour

Once upon this disaster called life Queen Stitches is TOTALLY stealing my blog..

K.. My friends are all making blogs now, so feel free to read them all. And if you want to read the fanfics, Pam has started one too, then feel free, but I need to get some blogs in here TOO.

Okay, The 11th Hour is this environmental documentary that is truly amazing and eye-opening! It's so amazing in such a scary way, and it's so informational. I'm an eco-dork so I loved it. You should all watch it and see how truly on the edge of the cliff the Earth is.. They talk to experts about climate change and global warming and the oceans and how it all affects one another.

The oceans will die. The air will die. The animals will die. But, we as a species will die first.

And I don't think it's that tragic. I think the tragedy is that nobody CARES! Our entire home, our entire ecosystem is dying and everybody just continues to act as if nothing is wrong... Well, FYI something is wrong. Something is VERY wrong!!!!

We need to take this into consideration and take action, like now! Not now-ish, NOW!

So, watch the movie!!! I also recommend An Inconvenient Truth.

Disapproval

Once upon this disaster called life, Pamabbela wrote about Yves Saint-Laurent, who was a designer. I do NOT approve.



Any designer or store that uses fur, leather, etc. will not be published and I would just like to say that I am against the use of animal products for fashion. For more information, you can go to a bunch of websites, but for now go to http://infurmation.com/. I'll be posting more sites later, and please.



How would you like it if your parents or siblings or friends never came home one day because they were SKINNED ALIVE and used for a coat? You probably wouldn't. Animals have feelings and loved ones too, don't hurt them.



Please, DON'T BUY OR WEAR FUR!

Swimming + Niagara Falls/ Kely's Party

I know I said I would blog more, but I really can't.
It's too far back and I barely remember that far.. But I will explain a few things...

My mom gave Giovanna, Arjel, Sofia and myself a ride home from Niagara Falls - she picked us up at the school, not Niagara Falls, lol. So we're driving... driving... driving... When we see this guy who has on the dorkiest sweater in the world. We all start laughing, cause its like one of those sweaters that look like a sweater vest with long sleeves. Omg, hilarious.

So, Arjel rolls down her window and QS (aka Gio) yells out, "I LOVE YOUR SWEATER!" and the guy looks, then has the biggest grin on his face! It was jokes.

Yeah, that's basically all I'm going to say since I really just wanna catch you guys up on my blog...


Okay. Topic #2: COMPLETELY RANDOM

KELY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY was awesome. We were hanging out at the park and had so much fun... We took a LOT of awesome pics and played in the sprinklers and were bike riding. Charlene, Arjel, Gio and me got kind of lost but we found it in the end. Then we were talking about the end of the world - lmao. GLOBAL WARMING IS SERIOUS GUYS! That is NOT a joke. Please, take Global Warming seriously. Then while Maria and Kely were doing the porno (really slutty pics) and this police car drives up. OMFG, we were scared out of our minds. So, Kely's dad goes over to talk to the police officer and then he comes up to us and says, "No more porn shoots, okay girls?" And leaves.


Okay... Maybe I'm slightly overexxagerating. He comes over and says Happy Birthday to Kely then says, "You guys need to clean up the tent and stuff. Neighbours are complaining." Bastards. Anyways, we had a BLAST!

Always busy and unfocused,
