No pain, no game!

I almost got what i wanted for a long time. And i'm almost there of getting it. I should be happy, right? But i don't know whether i am... cuz i need to wait for about 3 years for it to be perfect! Honestly, i dunno whether i can wait for it. I have to though and i will! And thank God for listening to my prayers...
Wondering what i'm talking about??? Sorry.. can't tell...
Anyway, my college will be starting next, next week and my orientation is next week! AHHHhhh!!! *PANIC*
I'm ready, i guess. I will try to be the girl i always wanted to be. The girl that i didn't get a chance to show in highschool. For college, i want to be whoever i want to be! Confident enough?? Well, i hope i can keep it up!!!
Wish me luck!!!

Idol Gives Back

I never watched a reality show and actually cried. Yesterday was american idol special, Idol Gives Back! If you haven't heard about it, "Where the hell have you been??". It's where celebrities the the americans donate money and time to help the poor and the sick. Both in America and Africa. When i watched it yesterday, i cried. It was both touching and inspirational. Last year they collected about 73 million dollars and this year they are aiming for 100 million. Talk about high expectations. But just imagine, a buck can save lives... who knew that can happen? I didn't. There are so many people in africa suffering from Aids and they are HIV positive. Not only adults but small children, infants, toddlers! It's scary to just think about it but it's more scary for them. It made me wonder "why do they need to suffer?", "what did they do to deserve this?". They don't! They haven't even experience life yet and some of them haven't even got new shoes before! How fortunate are we to have even a pair of not torn shoes? Have we thought how lucky we are to have 3 meals a day??? There's a phrase saying, "stop and smell the flowers". It doesn't actually mean stop and smell the flower. It means to stop for a moment or two to think about how lucky each of us are and thank God for it.

These people in Africa might not have Jimmy Choo shoes or even 3 meals a day but you'll be surprise how thankful they are to even have a piece of dry bread!

And in America, poverty is one of the main issues. Last year, New Orleans experience a terrible hurricane called the Hurricane Katrina. I might not know much about it but i do know that the whole town was destroyed by the "strong wind"! Not only homes were swept away but lifes too. Those who survived, many of them preferred to be dead because they've lost so many dear families and friends... Some not only lost their family and homes, they lost the will to live. I feel sorry for them and many people i'm sure would like to play God for a day and bring back the lives that were lost. Unfortunately, only God can decide our lives. This teaches me a huge lesson, bigger than what i learn from text books, that we must cherish our life and the ones among us and live them to the fullest!

It was nice to see that american idol thought of something so meaningful and brilliant at the same time. This gives a new perspective about them, not only it's a singing competition and searching for the next big star and to be criticize or praise by simon himself but also to help the less fortunate! Big around of applause to American Idol!!!

And lastly.... please, please, please do donate some money(www.americanidol.com). And please do care for the people that are less fortunate. It takes just a little to change a person's life!
