happy Chinese new year!

The year of the snake.

So much good luck, professional success and prosperity in love for everybody :)

(I also wish all you guys, who like it, lots of "snakes" during this year!)

However, when it comes a catty and treacherous animal as serpents are, I prefer to be prudent.

___________________________________________________________ 

I sincerely and strongly want that all 'snake-women', the spiteful, jeaulous and envious ones (who try to poison others' happiness, both betraying and cheating), stay away from me, my couple, my house, my family and friends - even if making part of them. Not only by this year, but forever!

 

bee careful

Take it easy, it's not an attack by them!

Actually, lately, watching diverse documentaries (thanks Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec!), I realized just the opposite: that is to say, we are striking them! Gradually.

Little by little, they are disappearing! Maybe because of pesticides, or due to global warming... This phenomenon is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Causes haven't been discovered yet.

I admit I haven't been abreast about problems concerning this insect. However, now, informed and esteeming their fundamental importance role in nature (beyond hooney production), I'm immensely worried about the future.

And you? Just bee!

sick fish

Basa (or Panga), commonly eaten by people in Occident nowadays, it is NOT recommendable, though.

Its low prices are just an attractive which disguise the danger of its intake.

Vietnam rivers have been contaminated by chemicals, heavy metals and toxic waste... many provided by the Orange Agent, employed by U.S. army during the war against them. If someone forgot it, a little (current!) reminder here.

Well, something stinks...
