Hope& Pray for Haiti

I was shocked, dismayed, and scandalized when I saw some really racist/degrading comments on some blogs during the whole Hope for Haiti campaign! Words fail me right now. And that's a rare thing to happen with me.

I just want to ask anyone to donate, and most of all pray for these people.

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Hope and Pray for Haiti today

~I have a Dream~

I have a dream. A novel to write.

Seriously, I have a dream that's so powerfully rooted deep within me that I just tear up everytime I watch someone achieving their own dream. Like I was just watching this awards thingyand a young, 25 year old director created a major blockbuster that grabbed every single award at the ceremony. And when the director went up to give his speech, he delivered it with such emotion and sincerity that I burst into tears at once. His dream was acomplished.

It's not about the fame, or the money- its about the writing. It's about this wonderful current that literally flows through me when I place pen to paper. Or fingers to keyboard! And it's about sharing that dream with my whole world, seeing my story in print, watching my world through the pages and knowing that yes- that's mine. I wrote it. I published it.
Right now I'm working on a book with my friend and sister and I hope it all gets okay. Life isn't that easy- trying to balance writing, college, finals, review writing (you could call that my part time job!), revision, blablablablabla
I just hope I can manage it all.

There's nothing that touches me more than reading/seeing dreams in books or movies. I was watching The Pursuit of Happyness the other day (highly recommended movie btw) and I was literally shaken by Will Smith's outstanding performance as he delivered the greatest lines of the movie:

"Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something...You got a dream? You got to protect it...You want something? Go get it. Period."

I swear, everytime i listen to these lines, there's something thats shakes me to the very core. The movie itself bears witness to the fact that dreams can come true...Chris Gardner's did...Martin Luther King...and so, so, so many people dreamed hard, worked hard, fought and protected their dreams. That's what am gonna do. That's what you should do too, if you have a powerful dream that lies somewhere within you! Gotta keep praying, keep hoping, and keep working. No reason why it shouldn't come true!

Serious business shoved aside, I have to stress upon the fact that the shopaholic in me is on extended vaccation. I'm saving up to go visit my sister in London end of this year and that means...NO SHOPPING. Well, I'm saving up to shop in London lol but my shopping talent is seriously getting rusted. This month i bought just a pair of gorgeous shades and the cutest necklace ever. That's all. Seriously. I didn't even buy a single outfit!! Or a single shoe!!! Nothing short of miraculous. My Shopping-in-London-With-My-Sister craze must really be strong!! That,or I've got some sort of superhuman willpower! Hmm...

Anyway am back after a long time and I had lots of things I wanted to blog about but its nearly 2am and I'm beat. Which is surprisng since sleep seemed to have turned its back upon me during the last couple of days. Think I'm turning into an insomniac somethingy. Huh.
