About Me
multi-tasking is my middle name. fashion is my passion. Red is the color that i love. Being literate is also part of my life. plus i am a realistic person 8D!
Just wanted to make a post saying that i am still alive and well. I was too busy with my college work that i barely could find anytime to update my blog.
Personally after the long time hiatus from blogging (usual ranting) i found that i have matured a lot after having started my second semester at Sun-U, especially after taking the course - Canadian and World Issue. I, not only found and got a great lecturer - Ms. Nancy (you know we love you! XD), i am also now aware of many big major things that i was ignorant of.
One of the few major things going around the world is the Water Wars and also the Whaling Campaign (which i have chosen for my ISU project).
Whaling have been around since ancient times, many whales are hunted by the aboriginal as their main food source, whereas in Korea and Japan, only the Korean and Japanese's Royalties gets to eat them, but that's still fine because it's only hunting limited numbers of whales, maybe less than 20 a year. But looking at how the whaling industry has evolved, and almost all Norwegian, Koreans, Japanese, Icelandics and others hunt whale at big numbers. The Koreans has started to put a halt in whaling but the Norwegian, Icelandics and the Japanese are still hunting at large. But hunting are not the only one killing these friendly giants. Large cargo ships which resonates at a low frequency (like the whales), often confuses the whale will lead them face to face with a bigger giant, resulting in collision.
Do you know? Humpbacks that used to number about 1 Million, currently only has estimated 20,000 worldwide, and are now facing extinction. But the MAIN whale that is already near extinction is the Blue Whale, the largest (if not first) mammal in the world. They have become so little in numbers that some of the females mate with their cousins whale species the fin whale, because it has become incredibly hard to find another blue whale.
Blue whale normally travels around during the winter season. They travel to the South from the North and vice versa. Blue whales are so enormous that they feed during winter seasons whereas the other whales don't usually eat. A pregnant Blue whale will normally travel across regions to the ever-changing Costa Rica Dome.
An interesting fact about the Costa Rica Dome is that it has two kinds of water. The upper layer consist of warm water whereas the lower depth consist of cold water. Making it a perfect spot of blue whales to feed and to give birth to their offspring. Sadly, it's very rare to be able to see a blue whale calf because most of them have become hybrid (fin whale + blue whale).
There still many other things that i have yet to learn about these friendly giants. But please help make a difference by signing up for this petition to free the two Greenpeace activist (Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki) which are currently going on trial because they have discovered that prime cuts of whale meat were being smuggled from the whaling ship Nisshin Maru (the biggest whale meat producer) to crew members for their personal gain, one box alone being valued at US $3,000. You can read the article here.
PS. Please remember, the few minutes you take to fill up the petition can save many whales. Please take the initiative to do it, but not as favor but rather something you would do to help save whales and stop whaling.Remember you can make a difference. =D
"Aren't I Cute? Sign the Petition to Save Me and Stop Whaling!"
