I finally did what I meant to do!

There is still alot to do with my blog, but for now, I am quite satisfied..it looks a whole lot better than it did previously but it can do with improvement.

I gotta give a reply abt the Mission Trip tmrw..and I havent really made my mind up yet..
I think that I am still kinda immature and my parents are not convinced abt me being ready.
But the fact is that I am 19 this year, and its time I broadened my perespective and maybe this trip can be that thing that manages to shake me out of my closed-up reality and push me to another level of maturity.
Its probably gonna take mental, spiritual and PHYSICAL STRENGTH.
And I think I am currently incapable of heavy physical activity. Its not that I won't do it. I will try but I dont want to be a liability and slow others down.
Its just like a debate,

back and forth
to and against

Coz doing this prob means that I wldn't get to work and I have no idea how I am gonna raise funds for the mission trip.

I really need to hear a ''GO FOR IT'' from God right now. He probably thinks I shld grow up.HAHA. I want to go but my parents need to be convinced as well.

Ok, enough of that. I thought I shld blog abt something thats been happening beyond my own small world. Something that has affected people on a much larger and devastating scale-the Haiti earthquake.

No offence, but I have never heard of that place and so the first thing I wanted to know was where it actually is.
Haiti is essentially a Caribbean country around the Mexico area. And all of a sudden, you see Haiti everywhere along with shocking images of pple crushed under the ruins of buildings that collapsed due to the 7.0 magnitude earthquake on the 12th.

Its really jolting to see all the images of children and adults alike hurt and dead. I don't think anyone of those victims wld have ever guessed that they were going to die on that very day when they woke up. But death came and it swept in the thousands. No warning at all.
Its really terrible but I think my generation has been immunized by the many deaths and natural disasters we have had to witness in the past decade. And so, we think to ourselves that life has to go on.
Yes, it does  but nothing guarantees that we have a better chance at keeping it compared to anyone else in the world.

So what I am saying is that we really shldn't take our lives for granted. Death may seem to be the easy way out of problems, sufferings, difficulties but it IS a PRIVILEDGE to keep on living. Why shld we waste it away doing worthless and pointless things?

OHMYGDNESS....I JUST CONVINCED MYSELF...I  know what I want to do and I had no idea it wld come to this but it has.
