It's time to give back

We are blessed.....We live a great life..It may not be perfect..They are moments you wish you were someone else or somewhere else but it must not be forgotten that we have good lives..

This realization hit me hard during idol gives back...American Idol is the biggest show in USA in terms of popularity and ratings..which means $$$$....But Idol has included a special fundraising programme to raise money for numerous charities around the world...

The moments when they showed the suffering of kids in Africa brought me to face a hidden part of the world..That is the suffering of others..They are so many people that face misfortune not because of their own deeds but because of fate/destiny being born in a situation where they are plagued by poverty and being born with AIDS

I know nobody likes to read a boring story...a story of suffering..but it does not mean it has to be boring...watch this...

Now back to the serious stuff...

Last year they collected around 700 million..

This year there was a story of a lady that lot 3 children due to AIDS and now fighting hard to help others from AIDS.....I really wanted to cry...

Four children taking care of themselves because their mum died of AIDS..

The point I want is raise is don't take life for granted...

Remember if you are in a lucky position please try to help...

If you have been gifted in life remember to be grateful....

I believe we have been luck for a reason...If not to help others to at least be grateful....

But seriously try to help..Especially if you have extra money donate lah...don't tell me you get gonna take that money to the grave...Start from home
