Why You Need to Watch This

Last night during Earth Hour, I was eating dinner all by myself in the dark. xD Last year, I was home alone too. No, I'm not gonna show you a video of me having dinner in the dark.

While eating I was also watching Oprah on the Hallmark Channel. The episode was originally aired on Earth Day last year, but it was my first time seeing it, and what I saw and heard was both shocking and heartbreaking.

See if you can get your head around this: There is a garbage dump in the Pacific Ocean that stretches from California to Japan, and it's 90 feet deep in some places.

Yeah, it takes a while for that to sink in. I know our planet is pretty polluted but I had no idea it was that bad.

I believe everyone needs to see this eye-opening episode. Find out where our garbage goes, plus some other mind-boggling facts. You will never look at your trash the same way ever again. Be sure to watch all 6 parts on YouTube. I've posted the first one below.

And if you have any eco-friendly tips, do share them in the comments. I'd love to hear them. :]

The next day I watched Alice in Wonderland which was wonderful. Johnny Depp, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are geniuses and I always look forward to films that involve all three of them. Alice in Wonderland was a great visual treat and my favorite scenes were the ones in Marmoreal. They were so pretty. *u* I liked Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen too, I thought she was very good.

The No List

I decided to make my own no list after seeing this one by S.V. Macias.

* No eating animals
* No drugs
* No booze
* No laziness
* No negativity
* No clutter

I have some other things (e.g., no coffee, no soda) but these are the major ones. :]

What's on your no list?

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the Year of the Tiger!




For those who don't know, I'm holding a hongbao (红包) in the second picture. It contains money and it's given during holidays and special occasions (e.g. birthdays).
