THIS is interesting...
everyone loves their birthdays, except for those who have the phobia of aging. and on birthdays, we always expect presents. Well, not for these few special people.
On their birthday, they did something special.
Instead of expecting for expensive presents with little ribbons and pretty wrappers, they asked for donations in exchange for the presents. yeap, they ask to receive cash....which will go into donation to build a well of clean water in rural areas. And with just 92 people birthdays, they managed to build a well for a village of people! Talking about the little things WE can do!!!!
this is just inspiring...imagine, there are only 365 days in a year, but there are how many billions of people. Everyday, there are probably more than 10 million celebrating their birthdays, and if each just receive the donations instead of presents.....wow...u do the math....the calculator states MATH ERROR..
hmm....so friends, don't waste money on buying presents.... .as in those presents for the sake of just being a present one....might as well spend the money on something meaningful...the ultimate purpose of present is giving and appreciating right? so, give...with a purpose.
handmade gift on the other hand, is different =D
talking about saving water,
ironically,yesterday, i saw a lady in the toilet,
she was pressing onto the tap while checking at her teeth in the mirror =_=
like for more than 30 seconds, the water just flow for no reason....speaking about being ignorant,..i was sooooooo tempted to just stick my hands in to use the water in behalf of her...if only i have the courage to tell her or something......embarrassed to say, i did nothing.
this reminds me of what Sammy the turtle quoted, "Humans are weird, some destroy, while some build."
well, in the end, its still your option to choose which side you want to be in. and its not simply determined by saying, but by actions.
alright, the next time i see something like that, i'm gonna tell the person.....oh dear God, please give me the courage to do so.... ><
