20,000 leatherback turtles were massacred at one of Trinidad's beaches.... A hotel which is popular with turtle watchers was in danger of flood attack from a nearby river and bulldozers were deployed to carry out peventive works. But the bulldozers dug up a huge chuck of the beach that was un-necessary for the preventive works. With it, they killed about 20,000 eggs and hatchlings......
That just goes to see how effective all those talk about eco friendly, conservation plans are..Somewhere along the line of instructions, something must have gone wrong and caused this to happen. On the hindsight, should that place be marked as a convservation area, the company in charge of the works will think twice before any action..... This is really a rotten way to start the week....
Should you have anything to say or feel the same way as I do that something can be done to prevent this, do sign on this petition.

Mat 1 Completed.....
last weekend was terrific. Had mat course from 4hrs on both Friday and Saturday and 8 hrs straight on Sunday...... Learnt the various mat exercises for Beginner and Intermediate level. Was pretty cool. Then gave my 'frst trial' class. Gosh was so nervous. Blanked out for a minute in front of the class and m really grateful for the coursemates I have who helped gave me clues for the following steps haha.... standing in front of the class is so different when u are lying on the mat waiting for instructions from the teacher. But I am sure I will get better and be able to do a good class. :)
Afterall if I can say so myself I felt that the 2nd round of 'teaching' was much better for the first half when we get to re-teach the exercises that we taught in the morning. So practise makes perfect. Now I can compete with Gabriel. He to practise for his piano pieces and me to deliver my class beautifully.
Next weekend will be Mat 2. This time round I will get myself prepared by looking at the various exercise try them out myself and practise delivering the class so that i will be more familiar with the exercise and not be so nervous and lost standing in front of the class.
Another step closer to my goal ........ to be a certified Pilates Instructor.........
