PANDA is here!!

Remember my love for Pandas? Well, I finally adopted one!! She's sitting on the table right now! My wish has come true!!! (I wanted a Panda - as stated in this post: Oh Tagged!) Oreja was ever so kind to let me use her card - Imma gonna pay you back - don't be lazy and give me the details alright?!

She arrived yesterday:

All the way from....Petaling Jaya..(not that far afterall, heh)

Yes, I was wondering where the air-holes were too..

OK,OK I didn't really adopt a panda, I Symbolically adopted one. I received an email from WWF Malaysia in regards of symbolically adopting one of the endangered species with an amount for the adoption kit. I thought, I sure as heck wouldn't be able to have a real one, why not get a cute plush toy? Plus it will help with the conservation efforts they are undergoing anyways.

..What they said

She came in this cute bag

I asked Oreja what we should name her, and she said Estrella (star in Spanish). I thought it was very appropriate!

She's hereeeeeeeee! My newest family member! Bobo, play nice!!

A panda has been symbolically adopted on behalf of my soft toy. ;)

The package also came with a letter from the CEO of WWF Malaysia:

Are you all ready to see her?

Yup, she's got a cute tush ;)

She comes with a tag that has some info on pandas. Sorry Crystal, your face accidentally entered the frame =P AL your pirate also wants his 10-second fame!

Here she is =D She's hand-made from Indonesia courtesy of Keel Toys

Estrella will suffice for the time being before I get to meet a real one! My cute baby-star =)


The adoption kit includes some write-up on Pandas and the solutions. WWF's solution for protection these cuties and their habitats are by partnering with the Chinese Government to establish panda reserves, to aid the Chinese Government in their conservation programme and supporting field studies in the Wolong Nature Reserve (I WANNA GO THERE!)

You can symbolically adopt a tiger, orang utan or a panda. For those who are in Malaysia, you are able to sybolically adopt these endangered animals. Go to this site for further information: Animal Adoptions

This offer is only valid till November 20th - so you better act fast if you want one of them! They said it would take 4 weeks for my package to arrive, but it arrived in 2 week's time! yay for GDex [never used 'em before =) ]

I'm so happy to get the Panda =D I'm gonna write a thank you note to WWF now..

What are they listening to?

Ever wondered what music sports people and celebrities listen to? I was watching the Olympics swimming competition and the swimmers were walking to the pool. Suddenly I see Michael Phelps walking out with earphones.. I wonder what he's listening to? So here are a few pics of sports people/celebs and what I think they're listening to. All the pics aren't mine, I took 'em off the net, so credit goes to whoever that took the pics k? Feel free to contribute your thoughts ;) USA NBA Star Lebron James - Getcha' Head in the Game [High School Musical] Russian Tennis Player Maria Sharapova - The Kill [30 Seconds to Mars(Venus)] Chelsea football/soccer player, Nicolas Anelka* - Second Chance [Trisha Yearwood] * missed a penalty at the Champions' League Final Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher - Yet Another Plumber [Flashlight Brown] Super fit Fergie - Work It [Missy Elliot] Cristiano Ronaldo* - Holiday in Spain [Counting Crows] * was rumoured to move ...

Come Read With Me (February)

Image
I've got 4 books to share with you for February :) First would be a book given to me by Mariposi (aka Gavin) for my birthday. Was so thoughtful of you! Thank goodness he gave me the English version as I do not think I would be able to tackle the original version (which is in Spanish) as my vocabulary in Spanish is abysmal at this moment. The cover of the book pretty much sums up the story - A novel in monthly instalments with recipes, romances and home remedies. The story is set in a ranch in Mexico. A boy resorted to marry the sister of his girlfriend just so he could be close to her as she was destined to take care of her mother till her mother dies as she was the youngest of the family. I love the way Laura writes and she incorporates a lot of recipes in between the main plot. I just watched the movie (no subtitles!) and it was a good thing I read the book beforehand or else I might have gotten a little lost. They followed the book 100% and it was really good :) For more informa...

Barcelona!!

Image
Be warned: This is a super long post..longer than my Al-Hambra one! I'm finally blogging about my next destination during my trip to Spain.. that is none other than the lovely and quirky.. BARCELONA! After the last day of class (Friday), my friend Nav and I took the bus to Madrid..we booked a flight to Barcelona from Madrid at about 6.30am (i think?) on Saturday morning. We said our goodbyes to our housemates and new found friends, and departed the beautiful Salamanca. On the way to Madrid (last time onboard the efficient and comfy Avanza) I caught Ávila at night and I must say the view was breathtaking, it happened to quickly and I couldn't take the pic on time. Managed to catch the colourful sky though =) Skyline - trust me if was so beautiful in real, the camera gives it no credit at all. We spent the night at the airport, but I didn't get much sleep at all - THANKS to one lousy couple who sat opposite me..that lady had an annoying high pitched laugh..AND SHE KEPT LAUG...
