‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ Is Already Trending

'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Is Already Trending
Sep 4 2023 Share

It’s only September and there’s still a long ways to go for December. But it seems as though the soul of Mariah Carey always reemerges months before December even hits. 

It was noted how the holiday favourite song, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, is already cracking the top 100 in the Philippines. 

The song reportedly had over 300,000 streams on September 1st – a 75% increase from last year. 

This notable feat caught the attention of Carey herself, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say:

‘Not yet!!! I’ll allow it for my Filipino lambs though (I don’t make the rules!)’ 

Now, we don’t know about you, but it’s still probably a little too early to start blasting the song (which is not appreciated by everyone) in stores and on the workplace. 

Besides, there’s still Halloween to celebrate!

The Harsh Realities Of Rescuing Hedgehogs

The Harsh Realities Of Rescuing Hedgehogs
Sep 4 2023 Share

Wildlife Rescue Team Malta shared the harsh realities that come with the work by showing the other side of cute hedgehogs and hoglets. 

‘We don’t only get the sweet hoglets’, the NGO stated. ‘Most of our rescues are injured animals, where it’s sometimes touch & go whether they’ll recover and make it through.’

At the moment, there are 3 hedgehogs in particular which are in quite a bad state. ‘Two of them have facial injuries that were quite infected when they were found, and one has a very bad skin infection.’ 

‘Will they respond to treatment and pull through? We can never say… it depends on how long their injuries were there before they were found, but it also depends on the animals’ will. We can only promise that we’ll do whatever we can.’

All the animals rescued by Wildlife Rescue Team Malta are protected species, and it is illegal to keep them as pets.

Fried Egg Jellyfish Anyone?

Fried Egg Jellyfish Anyone?
Sep 4 2023 Share

Marine biologist Alan Deidun shared images of the now local favourite spotting friend egg jellyfish populating various Maltese waters in large droves. 

Deidun described the jellyfish, known as ‘qassata’ or ‘tal-lampuki’ in Maltese, as turning the waters orange. 

This jellyfish species is notably harmless, with many even taking the time to swim among them due to their harmless nature.

Have you ever spotted a fried egg jellyfish?
