pelf-ism is contagious

I received this in my mailbox quite some time ago, and I have already signed the online petition.

Action Alert: Support Petition to Save Malaysia’s Belum-Temengor Rainforests Proposed National Park “Richest of the Rich” in Terms of Biodiversity and Ecosystems, Threatened by Logging.

Please respectfully support local initiatives to have Belum-Temengor declared a National Park - Malaysia’s strictest forest of protection - and an end to logging in order to pursue eco-tourism and other ecologically based and sustainable economic development opportunities. Specifically, the alert below asks that the Malaysian government immediately stop all logging activities in the area in order to: gazette the Royal Belum State Park, extend the Royal Belum State Park to include the Temengor Forest Reserve, and develop a management plan based upon local-small scale ecologically based uses.

Sign this online petition and forward the link to your contacts in Malaysia or overseas. Then, ask them to do the same.

Maybe it’s high time YOU did something to the save our forests. It will only take a minute of your time.

My 5-year-old Acer cannot support the software for my new phone! I am sooo going to tear my hair out! Now I would have to go over to J’s everytime I want to upload MP3s and download pictures and videos. AARRGGHH!

Yesterday afternoon, I received an envelope containing a short hand-written letter, a postcard and a hand-made card from Auli, a 44-year-old grandmother from Finland. Yes, she’s only 44 but she has a granddaughter aged 4!

The postcard, she says, shows a typical summer lake view in Finland, which is also dubbed “the Land of 1000 Lakes.” Which reminded me of the “Land of Big Roundabouts with Long Names” post that I had written but accidentally deleted *sniffs*

And she made the flower card herself, with a little help from her copy machine, which I assume is a printer :))

And since she took so much trouble to make the pretty flower card, I will send her a surprise postcard in return. And no, no prizes for correctly guessing what card I’m going to send her *winks*
