Long Distance Friendship

FRIENDSHIP

Long distance friendship is a relationship between partners who are geographically isolated from one another. Partners in long distance friendships or relationships face geographic separation and lack of face to face contact. 

Friendship isn't defined by how often you see the person or how often you talk to him/her.While those are all key components that help to build friendships, every once in a while,you can come across a person with whom you have an immediate connection.

These connections are heartfelt connections, in other words, you just vibe. These are the people you can go months without speaking to and it's never awkward when you pick up the phone call and chat or when you reunite face to face. These are the people you run into unexpectedly, and it makes your day better.

However, certain circumstances can test the relationships you have with said people. You won't be running into one another because of the physical distance between you, for example, an ocean between the two of you adds a small deterrent to your friendship/relationship.

HERE ARE A FEW THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT HAVING A BEST FRIEND 4,000 MILES AWAY

• Your bond grows stronger  - When there is a time difference, you'll have to have conversations that aren't convenient for you. You make sacrifices, and the conversation that wakes you up at 4 am is always worth it. 
• The computer becomes your best friend  - The art of letter hasn't been lost, but your computer and the internet can help your friendship. The connection will always be there.
• You always have something to look forward to  - You may not know when or how long it will be, but you know you will cross paths in the future.
• You establish a forever friend  - Friends come and go but every once in a while, you'll meet someone who will be with you for life.
• You laugh about old times  - You have many memories in the past and you look forward to the ones that will come in the future.
• You never get into fights  - You aren't going to waste time fighting because time is too precious and you don't  have anything to argue about anyway.
• You can still make each other laugh  
• You can think of the past but also the future  
• You always have a place to stay
• Your BFF makes you proud of yourself 

While long distance friendship can sometimes be complicated and hard, you realize you have a soul mate, no matter if he or she is 4,000 miles away. For that, you are grateful.

See you guys later !!

Bye !

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 -

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 !
