Winter The Dolphin

Winter's Tale

Winter wearing her prosthetic tail

At only three months old, Winter was found stranded in Mosquito Lagoon near Cape Canaveral, Florida, having become entangled in a crab trap line which cut off circulation to her tail flukes. After disentaglement, she was transported to CMA (Clearwater Marine Aquarium) for treatment of her extensive injuries. However, despite exhaustive efforts to promote healing, her tail deteriorated and could not be saved. 

Her story is unusual, most dolphins trapped in crab trap lines do not survive. Despite overwhelming odds against survival, Winter's energy and ability to adapt to her new physical from surpassed expectations. She healed completely, adapted to a new swim pattern and learned to eat fish on her own ... about 12 pounds a day !!

Winter was one of the most difficult cases for CMA. Her story is a bittersweet realization of the dangers faced by animals as a result of human activities in the wild. 

Check out seewinter.com for more information and guess what !! you can see Winter and her buddy Hope live on the webcam !! How cool is that arghh I am never leaving this website ever again !! hahaha

See you guys later !!

SAVE THE VAQUITA !

Vaquita !!

What is a vaquita ? Vaquita is a rare species of porpoise. Porpoises are small toothed whales, very closely related to oceanic dolphins. They are distinct from dolphins although the word 'porpoise' has been used to refer to any small dolphins. The most obvious visible difference between the two groups is that porpoises have shorter beaks and flattened, spade-shaped teeth distinct from the conical teeth of dolphins. But right now, i'm not here to talk about porpoises, i'm here to talk about vaquitas, they are critically endangered !

The estimated number of individuals dropped below 100 in 2014, putting imminent danger of extinction ! The vaquita has taken on the title of the most endangered cetacean in the world. 

HABITAT

The vaquita lives in shallow lagoons along the shoreline. It is usually found in waters 10-28 m (33-92') deep within 25 km from shore. Although it can survive in lagoons so shallow that its back protrudes above the water. Other characteristics of its habitats are strong tidal mixing and high productivity of the aquatic plant and animal communities.

SIZE AND HABITAT 

Length : females - up to 1.5 m, males - up to 1.4 m.

Weight : up to 55 kg.

Lets save the vaquita ! It is so cute how can people kill these cuties ?! We really don't want another species to extinct right ? Since the lipotes vexilifer, known as baiji believed to have gone extinct by 2006. So sad !!

So there you are, just having a regular Wednesday, things puttering along like normal and then, you're hit with the news that Louis Tomlinson is expecting a baby with stylist Briana Jungwirth. Yes, Louis is going to be a dad! arghh Can you believe it ?! 

A source told a site : "Louis is happy and very exited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mom."

"It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very close friends and this has brought them even closer."

It is thought Louis met Briana shortly after his split from long term love, Eleanor Calder.

 “Louis and Briana care about each other very much and have spent a lot of time together privately over the last few months,"said the source.

“They are both really happy and although they aren’t in a relationship, their friendship is extremely strong and they are both really excited about the baby. It’s early days and Briana and the baby’s health are the most important things right now "   So what does this mean for Larry Shippers uh oh .. including me !

Tomlinson has vowed to be at Jungwirth's side and to be a "hands on dad" when the baby arrives early next year according to his friend. 

For April Fool's Day 2012, Tonlinson had tweeted -

The white bead contains water from mount Everest and the black bead contains mud from the dead sea. This is meant to signify the highest and lowest point on the planet, and thus keep the person who wears the bracelet balanced no matter what life throws his or her away.

I'M OFFICIALLY 14 !

--HELLO CUPCAKES--

July 8th 2001, a girl was born. And that's me ! The one and only Aisyah ! I grew up with my mom, dad and my three older sister. When I say older, I really mean it .. they are like 15-19 years older than me so I was quite a diva back then and still am. I moved to Kuching, Sarawak when I was 5 years old. Honestly I love it. I made lots of friends there. Six years later, I moved to Langkawi. It sounds fun but no, it's the opposite. I do like moving to Langkawi but I don't really like the environment except the beaches. I made friends too but we moved back to KL the next year. I was exited and happy and you know exited! And my new school was okay. I did not make lots of friends but at least I do. And surprise surprise.. straight A's for my UPSR and I was more than happy ! I started high school and honestly I hate it cause most of my friends went to a different high school and I had to go to the girls school .. boring huh ? My first year in high school was awesome made lots of new friends and not to brag, I was fitting in with the popular crowd. I was happy and I loved it. And here I am now, Second year in high school .. And it is getting worse. Trust me, it's horrible. Lost my friends, bad grades, and urgh if you can see you how terrible high school is. I sat alone during lunch, I basicly do everything and anything alone. I don't like it. I wanted to fit in so bad. I tried and at least I made a new friend. We ate together and we do stuffs together. I feel good, until now, yes, right now. And right now, I'm 14 ! im officially 14 ! I am so happy ! I cant believe it ! yikes ! okay okay .. try not to freak out and decided to stop typing. I want to step outside and live my life ! at least a day ! yikes! I think that is it for now and I will see you guys in few days ! 

Byeee

Hi, You Are Beautiful

SMILE :)

Hello ! Today is not the best day. Today is one of those days everyone dreads but most go through... I am sad maybe even depressed, neglected but most of all, pressured to have a good day. Today has been an emotional wreck for me, a roller coaster of being happy then instantaneously sad.

I realised the only way for me to have a good day, is to just have a day I can get through. Try to smile but most importantly just to get through this. Remember that everyone has these days and they are inescapable but the only way to get rid of them is in your hands. Change the way you think of the situation, change your attitude to one that sees the bright side to everything because the only thing that making you sad is yourself and how you see the problem if there actually is one.

Imagine your idol, know that they go through these days coming out the better end and if they can, you can too !

If you know something that makes you happy or lights a spark within you do it or at least distract yourself. Go to the people you know will support you like your family to friends and block out the people who are causing you this sadness.

So if you are reading this and you are having a bad day like I am, I want to tell you something, today is just one day. No matter how sad or angry or guilty you are, time still moves forward and as it does so will your emotions. Try to turn the situation around and if the cause of your sadness is a person, be nice to them. I know it is hard but you have no idea what they can be going through. If you treat others the way you want to be treated and inject happiness to the world, trust me you will have a lot less of these types of days. I want you to know that you are beautiful and no one should be judged for what the like, the sex they love or how we look because who gets to decide what the perfect human looks like or acts like if you know ... I'd like to meet them and ask them who they are to put other people down for not being what hey see in their eyes as a 'perfect person'. Perfect is overrated or at least misunderstood.'Perfect' is not being what everyone else expects you to be because you cannot please everyone (especially those who put you down *don't go to the effort to impress them*), being perfect is about being who you are so please feel happy about that :) . 

I hope this helped and made you feel better because I do know .. A lot !!

Byee
