Might we still stand a chance?

Si bien a veces creo que ya no tenemos remedio (nosotros como raza y el mundo como hogar al que estamos arruinando), este tipo de cosas me hacen sentir que por ahí estoy equivocada...

> We just achieved a landmark victory for the seals! Today, the European Parliament made history when it voted overwhelmingly to ban trade in seal products. This vote means that all three European Union (EU) institutions - the Commission, the Council, and the Parliament - are now in agreement, and seal products will no longer be placed on the> market within the EU.
> Europe has been a primary market for Canadian seal products, and many believe this ban spells the beginning of the end of the> slaughter!
> We could not have won this victory without our supporters. Advocates in the EU sent letters, faxes, and emails showing the decision-makers in the EU that people care deeply about the seals. When we all work together, we can make a real difference for seals and other animals.
> We know that closing markets saves seals' lives. Just the prospect of an EU ban on seal product trade was enough to drive the prices for seal fur down to just $15 Canadian per skin this year - a decline of 86 percent since 2006. Many sealers chose not to hunt seals this year as a result -- and to date, out of a quota of 338,200 seals, just 57,622 have been killed. It is likely that when the seal hunt officially ends on May 15, a quarter of a million seals will have been spared a horrible death. Now that the EU has banned its trade in seal products, countless more seals will live out their lives in peace from this year forward.
> On our trips to the ice, Humane Society International has brought key opinion shapers such as Paul McCartney and Swedish Member of the European Parliament Carl Schlyter. After their trips, neither has wavered in speaking out against the hunt. Shortly after his trip to the ice, Schlyter drafted the first version of today's EU ban. Our hunt footage was directly responsible for convincing the rest of the EU to agree to the ban. It gives me enormous satisfaction to know that we haven't just documented the hunt, we have made history.
> But even as we celebrate this amazing victory, we must remain vigilant. Because there is every chance the sealing industry will develop new markets.
> That is why we will continue maintaining economic pressure on Canada's fishing industry through our boycott of Canadian seafood products. We will continue pressing for a strong law in Canada to stop commercial sealing. And we will continue to lobby other nations to ban seal products.
> We are thrilled by our success in passing this ban today, but there is still more to be done. Click here to see how you can continue to help seals: https://community.hsus.org/ct/EdSNpSd1XYzY/takeaction
> We are so close to putting this cruelty in the history books where it belongs - thank you for being a part of this historic campaign to save the seals. I know we can count on you to stay with us as we bring a final end to Canada's commercial seal slaughter.

Twilight Series

Tengo una especial atracción por los vampiros... me encantan, desconozco por qué. Las Crónicas Vampiras de Anne Rice por ej. me las devoré (léase por "Crónicas" los 4 primeros libros, antes de que la Sra. Rice comenzara a editar "el vampiro armand" y demás cosas un tanto más comerciales en mi opinión). Drácula me encanta... el personaje, no la persona que lo inspiró.

Aclaración que permitirá entender cómo me atrajo un libro con el nombre de "Crepúsculo". No tanto por el nombre en sí, sino por la tapa: fondo negro, sobre el cual unas manos (blancas? marfil?) sostienen una manzana más que roja.

Me encontré la novela de casualidad really. Verán, una tarde llevé a mi media naranja a la casa de un amigo en Belgrano para jugar a las cartas (he does not drive). Debía hacer tiempo hasta que el juego terminara, así que me encontré recorriendo el depto con la mirada, en búsca de algo entretenido con que pasar el tiempo. Y CHAN, vi la tapa.

Alancé a leer sólo unas pocas páginas nada más pues pronto se hizo la hora de irnos a casa, pero en cuanto pude me compré el libro para leer tranquila.

OMFGosh!!! ES-PEC-TA-CU-LAR

Es una saga de 4 libros. Sobre vampiros. Específicamente en realidad, sobre la historia de amor entre una adolescente mortal y un vampiro.

Crepúsculo

Luna Nueva

Eclipse

Breaking Dawn (not released yet; no se cómo lo llamaran en español)

En 2 fines de semana me leí los 3 libros, and I want more *lol* No veo las hroas de que llegue el 2 de agosto, fecha de publicación del cuarto!

La imagen compila las tapas de los 3 libros ya publicados (la manzana como ya dije es de Crepúsculo; la flor es de Luna Nueva y la cinta es de Eclipse).

Altamente recomendables ppl. ALTAMENTE.

ALMOST there

Rendí con éxito el último examen final de mi carrera, este viernes 23/5/08 a eso de las 17.45... It was actually quick... so much so que a las 17.50 ya había terminado y estaba yendo al peaje de la autopista Dellepiane para encontrarme con mi hermana y mi fiancé.

Having said this, NO SABEN LO CONTENTA QUE ESTOY!!! Ahora me resta hacer mi tesis para recibirme de Licenciada en Humanidades y Ciencas Sociales (wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)

What is your vibe?

What's Your Vibe?

My Result: Burgundy Chic

You're one class act — the perfect balance of a cool, casual attitude and an elegant, polished style. There's a certain grace in almost everything you do. It's true, you make things look easy — even when they're not.


And while there's nothing flashy about how you present yourself, you never fail to dazzle most people you meet. You tend to take life as it comes — and it's not easy to throw you off course. A strong sense of self and a hearty dose of confidence help you handle whatever comes your way. And usually, look good doing it.

What are you?
