Earth Hour 2012

One Earth, 

One hour, 

Our future.

It is just awesome to see people ALL AROUND THE WORLD turn off their lights on this day for one purpose:

To save our planet.

This is my third year participating in the Earth Hour. 

Every year I was amazed and touched by the images taken in different parts of all the world during the hour. They make me feel so proud and feel like we are one big FAMILY.

Earth Hour tells us that saving the planet requires the cooperation of the entire world. 

Exactly, keeping the light or all electronics off for a few hours is not a hard task, however, to do it every day is not a easy thing.

Let's bring the spirit of Earth Hour to our daily life. Little by little every day. 

Take this challenge, will you?

I made a poster for my Facebook profile picture. It's not professionally done cause i'm not a photoshop expert. Oh well, hope you think it's a good perspective. 

I just went on a field trip for my earth and space science class to the University of Toronto yesterday. 

That's where my inspiration comes from haha.

A movement that ties us as a family.

@CHINA~ My paintings eaten by bugs

This is a heartbreaking story :"(.

Do you remember these paintings from my old posts?
(Click the images to read their stories)
     
If you are a new visitor to my blog, these are my two textured paintings I  made with edible flour.

Well well well.... If this didn't actually happened to me, I would never take note to imagine, such frigging oddity, that my paintings one day became a meal for bugs.

Bugs are savage this summer, especially in my house! I never find out the major reason or any clue of insect nests, although I'd considered about plants we had at home and food we sometimes left outside the fridge.
Anyways, two days ago, I looked close to a painting and I saw a line made up of powder on the counter at the bottom of the canvas.
At first I thought it was paints getting melt because of its poor quality somehow, but as I look closer, I realize that the powder is mixture of acrylic paints and RED BUGS!

GOD! I FOUND THE NESTS!!

The black holes on the figures are the hunks eaten by bugs. They ate the flour and left acrylics behind.

The dark line is left-over acrylic powder after the bugs finished up their "food".

what I circled are two fleshy bugs. you can see how well-fed they had been to grew this buff!

Of course I am VERY, VERY grossed out!!

The first thing I did was SCREAMING, although nobody was home to help. Fine, with my eyes closed tight, I immediately removed it and exposed it in the ruthless Chinese sun, and then I got some camphor balls from super market...

I swear I will take better care of my paintings from now on.

Oh AND! I will remind Shirley about bug prevention!
