Make poverty histroy,live8 concert.

Make poverty history, live8 concert.

             So lately i've been eating a lot.. everyday, non-stop like a fookin' pig on speed..i've been eating so much, till i'm so full and tired and near-comatose. i have the appetite of a rhino.. i've gain weight tremendously.. but i'm not arsed... and now, i'm EVEN more not arsed  because after watching last night's LIVE8's concert.. i realized how much i should be thankful' and grateful' for what i've got and for the food that has been served on my plate everyday of my life. But maybe i should stop being greedy for a while and think of the people who are less fortunate in other corners of the world..

    Did u guys know that, in africa, every 3 second, a child dies? i seriously didn't know that.. but now i do.there is no money, no food, not enough medical help and the list goes on. it is very sad, and even more heart-breaking for us to see what goes on in their daily life. But we are not the ones who are on the suffering end. Thus,the LIVE8 concert was launched last night by sir bob geldof in hyde park, london. But mind you, other countries were also participating in this 'awareness-raising concert' like france,germany and tokyo , just to name a few. and performances/appearance by sting, mariah carey,joss stone, madonna, brad pitt, etc. it was fabulous! and a beautiful african girl came up to the stage in london, to talk about how this live8 thingie has saved her life  20 years ago. With only a few minutes left before taking her last breath .. she received the aid and the help which then, had enabled her to live on..up till now, and eventually last night, tell her story to everyone to knock some sense into their heads, that poverty is a word and an epidemic (well aids do spread in'nit.. and god knows what else is going on over there, interms of sickness and virus and all sorts ) that needs to be erased and if possible abolished from the surface of the earth.

         hand in hand, putting aside each and every countries differences, work towards one goal,which is to help the ones in need, that is the countries that are affected by the word 'poverty'. The children of today will eventually be the leaders of tomorrow,but what promise is their for tomorrow and our future, if in every 3 seconds a child dies in these poor countries? they'll probably be NO tomorrow, NO future.. and the next thing we know, everything ends up in oblivion! THAT'S NOT HOT!

 

p/s: my diet regime, will start in 2 weeks time.. if ever i go to mc donalds again.. i'll make a note to dash in the pennies in the box provided at the counters. other than that.. have to wait la.
