For what its worth..

Someone was kind enough to send me their address 2 weeks ago. And to keep my word, and take my own challenge, the same night I recieved the address, I wrote a letter back, about 2 pages, and immediately went to the Post Office, waited in the long queue, paid for Airmail postage, and sent it off. The letter arrived safely, as I confirmed it. It has yet to be revealed if that "someone" will have the time or make the effort to write back. =)

So what's news?

The good ol' G20 is going to be arriving here in the UK! I'm hoping to partake in the madness since their meetings are very close to where I work. Maybe I can catch a glimpse of President Obama, though I highly doubt it. Maybe I'll partake in the many protests that are bound to happen. Who knows, but it will be interesting.

Anti-capitalism protesters were handing out fake Financial Times papers around the area where I work. A copy of it is here: http://ft2020.com/

Either way, it will be interesting to see how the people in the UK will be reacting with the world's top 20 leaders meet to figure out what to do in this financial crisis.

Happy Red Nose Day!!

I've been here for almost 4 years and have never heard of this until this week! So I did my part and donated here:

I guess its kind of like "Jerry Lewis's MDA telethon", or "American Idol" gives back or something. They have all these programs where artists perform from music to comedy skits.

Anyway, its nice to do a small part in helping out, especially if its for people suffering from Malaria in Africa. Its really sad to think about how all these children don't get the chance to live their dreams.

I think about the opportunities I've had and how lucky I've been, and to think that a little baby that has been brought into this world is too weak to survive and can't be saved because proper health care is nonexistent is just sad and unfair.

Hopefully my donation makes its way to help a mother and her baby in Africa, or any family that could use the help.
