“Turtles play a critical role in keeping marine ecosystems healthy; the same ecosystems which sustain our fisheries and tourism industries that provide food and livelihoods for millions of people. Marine turtles are threatened with extinction due to various factors, including: the practice of consuming turtle eggs, marine and nesting beach pollution as well as illegal trade of turtles and their parts.

Leatherback turtles have already been declared functionally extinct in Malaysia. In the 1950s, there were 10,000 leatherback nests in Rantau Abang each year; now there are less than 10. Moreover, turtle protection laws are inadequate. Please sign up and help save turtles!”

It doesn’t cost you a cent to submit your pledge to show your support. All it cost you is just few seconds to fill in the pledge form and click the submit button. As simple as that!

Human rights refers to the “basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.”[1] Examples of rights and freedoms which are often thought of as human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and social, cultural and economic rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education. [Source]

Yes, freedom of expression and freedom of speech. This is what you can see in the blogosphere. Such freedom in the blogosphere has brought up an argument on ethical writing issue. Ask yourself a question, “How free is freedom of speech in the blogosphere – a free media?”

I don’t concern much in political issue but I believe most of you know that a Raja Petra, Malaysian political blogger, was jailed for sedition charges. He believes what he said is the truth with evidence so instead of paying the bail, he was on hunger strike.

According to the huma rights definition quoted from Wikipedia, what do you think? Is there any human rights here? Think about it. (not going further as this lead to sensitive issue)

Today is May 15, a day for Bloggers Unite For Human Rights. As a blogger, let’s unite together and spread the awareness of human rights. Let’s blog for hope.

Here is how you can help to save our Mother Earth, bit by bit: Save Planet Earth

Some of you will be thinking that I’m already destroying the environment by hooking on the Internet everyday, but we can’t deny the convenience technology has brought to us, can we? Although I can’t do much to help out, at least I try my best by practising the following:

1. Don’t turn on the aircon unless neccessary.
2. Walk to my destination instead of drive, if it’s not too far.
3. Reuse things like papers or plastic bags.

Start saving our Earth now, not only for a day or two.

What will you do to save the Earth?

YouTube is on Earth Day mode too!

It’s even better if we can change our home products to eco products, saving money and energy at the same time. Does it sound great?

I personally think that the spirit of going green in a developing country like mine, is not as strong as advance country like the USA or Japan. Maybe because we can’t see and feel the impact yet. With the development of Kuching, I feel that it’s being polluted – physically and psychologically. I want a green land but not a land with lots of shopping malls and noisy crowds.

Things you should know about drinking and driving:

• Drinking and driving kills.
• Do not drink if you plan to drive.
• Never get into a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking.
• Alcohol leads to slower reaction times, difficulty in gauging speed and distance, drowsiness and loss of concentration.
• Late night drinkers may still be over the limit the following morning.

Say no to this act.

An alcoholic would probably turn out to be a drunk driver. Maybe it’s time for them to go for an alcohol rehab. By changing such habit, you can make a difference.  Not only for the safety of road users but also for personal health and other threatening facts.

Yup, this is how Earth look like. Isn’t she beautiful?

No, you don’t want Earth, a place we inhabit, to become like this, do you?

“Global warming”, a very common term for this new era of ours. Yet, most Earth citizens only know how to discuss this issue either verbally or literately – without really take action on what they have been discussing. You can do your part today. Here is a list of top 50 things you can do to stop global warming.

If you are a heavy computer user, these tips might be useful for you too!

The NAFASG Team had written some good advices that I would also like to share it here:

1. Avoid too much of alcohol. Limit yourself to drinking one glass or stop drinking it for good!

2. Maintain an acceptable weight because obesity is one of the factors that can heighten the risk of breast cancer. Improve on your dieting by restricting your fats intake.

3. Be more physically sound by carrying out regular exercises. Exercising contributes to the maintenance of your weight, thus reducing the risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.

4. Go for a mammogram for early detection of breast cancer. You should do so especially when you have reached the age of 50 and above.

5. Avoid sleeping with your bra on. Wearing a bra for more than 12 hours can contribute to the growth of cancer cells in your breasts. And do not keep on wearing the same bra for a few days. You should change to a brand new bra every single day.

That’s another good and strong reason for me to keep my body weight at the average. I was really plump a year ago and this obesity leads to some feminine sickness. I was advised by my doctor to reduce weight, yet that time I didn’t even bother until the day I met Orange. I wanted him to feel good as well as myself, therefore I start my diet and finally reduced 10kgs! Although I still have a rather round belly, I’m still slowly trimming a better figure, also to a better health.

I was actually tagged by Nafa on this issue.

In our times of darkness, children are the ones who will brighten us up. No matter what ordeals we have to endure in our daily lives, we know that we can overcome them the moment we set eyes on children. Their innocence and purity in them will always give us a sense of peacefulness and calm that is beyond words. And it goes without saying that life would be meaningless without seeing them smile, hearing them laugh and cry, and feeling their small and flawlessly gentle hands that want to reach out to us.

Yet, there are some who show no empathy and sensitivity towards these beautiful souls. Worse still, they would dunk themselves into physical violence and cruelty towards the children without even thinking twice. Such acts can deem someone to be worse than an animal, because even an animal has compassion and love for its young.

What is going on with this world? Why must such horrid acts be carried out? Why do these people ever exist in this world?

Please take this time to read this special message from us, and show your utmost support and sympathy towards the family of the late Nurin Jazlin, who passed away tragically and brutally at the age of only eight. Little Nurin Jazlin’s body was discovered in a gym bag on 17th September, one month after she was abducted. Upon the discovery, she was seen to be in the most horrifying state ever. Her hair was short and curled up, when it was originally straight and long. Her body was pale and badly bruised from head to toe, and there were traces of foreign objects like brinjal and cucumber found in the virginal area of her body.

Parents of the deceased took a long time to acknowledge her death, but eventually did after all the thorough DNA tests had been carried out by the forensics department. Her body was finally buried on 21st September. Her father, Jazimin Abdul Jalil, had expressed his sorrow towards this tragedy, stating that whoever who caused her death was not a human being, but rather, an animal.

This was the result of an outrage of modesty (See Picture On The Right) caused by a man of age between 35 and 40, who was thought to be someone who enjoyed torturing people, particularly children. Along with him was a 23-year-old lady, who was apparently his partner in crime. The lady had been found and called for questioning by the Malaysian authorities, whereas the man has yet to be found. Hence, we are urging all of you here to play your part in finding this serial killer cum sexual offender and ensuring that justice is served to the deceased and her family.

A lot of people say we are very close sisters. Many envy us. We are really close sisters, we started to develop our close relationship since Mom went for a never-return-journey. We love each other deeply in our hearts. In the family, we only trust one another..sad to say that, the only one that we can really trust is one another. We stand together, so that the Evil One can’t do much harm to us.

Really can’t imagine if I don’t have a sister by my side…how could I have survived in my current situation?

————————

Nafa requested to post the following article to help a friend to find her sister. Although they don’t live together since young..I do hope one day they can meet each other again..

Please spare some time to read this post that we have written on behalf of a good friend of ours in the blogosphere. By reading this post and spreading the word to the others around you, you could reunite two people who shared an extraordinary relationship. You could be the one to reunite two sisters.

Her name is Jackie Hooper, also known as Shinade. Her biological mother was Maxine Soape, but a couple had adopted her. According to her, besides her mother, she also had a younger sister as a family member. Just like her, her sister, who was born in 1959 or 1960 and is three years younger than her, had also been adopted out to another couple, by her own paternal uncle.

Both were born in the same hometown of East Texas, but are now being adopted by two different couples and have been separated since then. The sister is currently staying with her adopted parents in Pueblo, Colorado.

Jackie has never stood a chance to watch her younger sister grow, and has never even known what her sister’s name is.

As painful as it is to be worlds apart from your friends, it is even more painful to be worlds apart from your own flesh and blood. So readers, we hope that you can show some sense of empathy towards Jackie ‘Shinade’ Hooper who longs to rebuild her life with her younger sister whom she holds very dear in her heart throughout the years.

This is your chance to do something good for someone in our global society who is in need of our helping hands.

If you can provide any information about Jackie’s sister that would be able to assist Jackie in her search, we urge you to keep us in the loop or directly inform Jackie at her blog. Your liberality towards helping out in this search would be greatly appreciated by all of us here, but the one who would be most thankful to you is Jackie herself.

A little kindness goes a long way. Readers, please show your compassion towards someone who wants nothing else but to reunite with her beloved younger sister once again. They share a strong kinship, and they deserve to be together till the end of time.

“My only message would be that I would so like to have the opportunity to get to know her and her family. I know she has children also. And, that I love her even though I don’t know who she is or where she is.” – Jackie ‘Shinade’ Hooper

Dear Readers,

We hope that you can spare some of your time reading this article. It would mean a lot to one of our good friends in the blogosphere, if you can help her in this.

Our good friend named Sandy is currently searching for a person whom she had always regarded as her best friend. They were very close to each other, until a conflict between them arose. Ever since then, both of them lost touch of each other.

It has been nine long years since they last communicated with each other, and Sandy is deeply affected by her best friend’s absence. Her greatest wish right now is to reunite with her best friend and be close to her like before.

SANDY G

If you happened to know Judy and her whereabouts, kindly inform us or inform Sandy directly via her blog. Even if you have never heard of Judy, you can still do your part by spreading this heartfelt message via your blogs.

Your immediate response to this message is greatly appreciated. What we are doing may be something small, but if all of us can put our hands together and be part of the search, it can bring two best friends together again after nine long years.

Sandy, please be strong in going through this obstacle in your life. Have great faith that miracles can happen, always look on the bright side of life, and believe that your long awaited wish could come true. We are here for you and will do our best to help you.

Judy, if you are reading this, please contact Sandy as soon as possible. She really misses you and wants to make up for the lost times. Let bygones be bygones. Hope that you will reciprocate Sandy’s feelings as soon as you can.
