Eye Opener...
attended A friend's wedding this morning.....waking up all excited about the moment....all conscious about looking glamourous...all excited about seeing old friends.....everything was reflecting on how we grew up together ....achieve and screw..how good it is to be in our well-brought community...stories on surviving tough relationships...taking pictures and looking fine .....
after the wedding we followed a friend to this FOOD-NOT-BOMBS campaign...where he and his activists friends cook and serve the homeless every sunday behind St. John church....we were having this heavy discussion about the homeless and NGO's , the radicals activities and so forth which persuaded us to see this other side of the world..plus we needed more time to spend with us good buddies that we weren't reluctant with the idea of going even so we were looking all well dressed (something in our hearts were afraid that we might offend the crowds there..)
it was indeed an eye opening experience..i went to indonesia recently and came back with a different sight of our own country...and so i went FNB and came back with the exact same feeling...it was not much on the activism activity that was taking effect...(the campaign was somesort of a silent protest to the government telling them that they should spend our money to serve the community such as issues of poverty rather than military subsidary)...but it touches our sense of humanity that we sometimes slipped our sights to...i'm in no position to speak of politics and the system as i don't think i have sufficient knowledge to do so....so i am in the between of "join them" and "beat them".....we are or indulge in living in the so-called FINE community...FINE dining ...FINE clothing....FINE lifestyle...that we forgot that some people barely have enough food to eat....jobless for years for not having anybody trusting them to work ....live under the bridge...not having enough nutrient in their junky food consumed...it just makes us realize that we are in the state where we should be thankful for what we have(we need to perform some reality check on our lives once in a while)....help them in the way we could...we are not..or not just yet millionaires to change lives...and barely have enough to change our own indeed...but nevertheless...a little help to the needy wouldn't shake whole stock market....as we were there....the crowd was telling my friend..."you did us a good deed by bringing those ladies...at least we have something to look at...and we don't feel like prisoners being fed"....Should we call that charity?... :).....
as for me...i'll continue living the giddy life...plus an extra message learned from the day...and will continue buying good brands concerning that i worked hard for it and deserves the luxury...but never turn sight from those other who deserves to live on the very least of basic needs....
