Perspective has a new spelling- It’s Haiti.

nFor those of us who live under a rock, wait no- they would know this a bit better than others... Haiti. Earthquake. Not pretty what so ever.

200 000 People or more and believed to be dead- we need to do something. That's why when Joel Houston said, Perspective has a new meaning- I understood. It's spelled HAITI. Perspective that is. Our focus and purpose for I-Heart, or anything really, should be the suffering in Haiti.

For more information, here's the CNN Website

Here is a random excerpt that scared me,

One woman, I could only see her head and the rest of her body was trapped under a block wall," said Jonathan de la Durantaye, who drove through Port-au-Prince after the quake. "I think she was dead. She had blood coming out of her eyes and nose and ears."

If there is anything you can do, do it- as for me, I’ll see what little I can give because every penny, or drop of sweat pulling someone out of death’s grasp… it’s worth another life saved.

Let me just retype something else I found that I’ve said myself many many times:

Our world is a mess. It needs justice. It needs help. But if not now,
WHEN? If not us, WHO? Me. and well you too.

What happens now? In a few weeks HAITI will slowly disappear from the news, and within a few months it’ll be a back story that shows up just once in a while. Are we aware that just because we can’t see it on the TV screen, that it’s stopped happening? That when the TV goes off, so does the suffering? No see that continues. They labour day and night, no electricity, no clean water, no food, no shelter. Unbearable heat. We can barely handle it for a few minutes on TV; we’re shocked by the image- but do we realize that those 3 minutes for us is their life.

I think a lot of us forget that we have the most powerful weapon above them all. Prayer. We need to stand together and pray for HAITI. Pray for the Flight crash to Ethiopia. Pray for Rwanda and Sierra Leon. Pray for your mom, or dad. Pray for the church. Pray for yourself, or your non-believer Friend. Pray for your country, and your leader. It’ll make a difference. That’s how powerful a prayer is. It can bring a city down to its knees or raise it to the heavens.

Why? You might ask. Here’s how I see it. We’ve all donated a ton of money to HAITI and her cause. So what? The children of Haiti are starving and thirsting. The families sleeping with nothing but the stars to cover them, because the money can’t reach them. No matter how much money we give, it can only help so much. Now we pray that they can reach HAITI, and the needy there.

Prayer is our answer, our sword and shield. It’s time we use it vigilantly.

London 2009 Trip

Location: Home, where else?

Music: All The Right Moves- OneRepublic – Waking Up

Mood: Tired and impatient waiting for the laundry to finish already!

No I did not die. Well, maybe I did and I regenerated as the next Doctor… wait I’m not the Doctor. No, I did not die.

I just happened to visit London for two weeks!!

Lizy auntie and Jessy auntie are both near to London so it was fun. Anyways, here’s what’s basically been happening the last two weeks.

First off, we visited Lizy auntie and Saji uncle, and Jeffrin and Jeremy. Jeffrin is 11 and quite smart, while Jeremy is 5 and quite sick. Jeremy has a hyperactive immune disorder that makes him allergic to basically a shitload of things. The first of these would be gluten, and other proteins; so he can’t eat meat, non-rice crops, and a whole bunch of vegetables. and Chocolate. I managed to buy some chocolate without this stuff for him before I went so he got to eat that but its hard for him. Jeremy also has eczema so it’s really tough for him. I don’t know how Lizy auntie handles it all but she somehow does. Jeffri is also quite helpful. What scared me the most was that Jeremy is shit scared of hospitals. A month ago, he was so sick that they took him to the hospital and he had to get an oxygen mask and the whole thing, now he won’t go no matter how sick he is. The thing is, my mom and Lizy auntie both have a lot of allergies but it’s like it all accumulated in him. They want to start an immune suppressant program for two years on him, but he’s really weak and gets sick easy, so I don’t even know how they’ll pull that off without sticking him in a bubble. I really hope things work out there.

Secondly, The UK is a country full, and I mean chock-full of history! And I love it! We visited London, Cambridge, Ipswich, Norwich, Stowmarket and Croydon. The place we lived, Bury St. Edmunds was this tiny little city that was probably like Thalwil or Oetwil am See, a bit bigger than Kilchberg, but no Zuerich (no I didn’t spell that wrong, I just can’t find the damn codes for the umlaut!) The point behind the whole thing is that its wonderful to look at a building with a Starbucks in it and learn that it used to be a 18th century home. Yeah that’s right! And tea! I love the tea! Though I’m a coffee fan, I’m PG Tips converted for all of eternity! The work is amazing on buildings like Bucking Palace and Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben is a sight not to miss. Though I have to laugh at the bridges in London. Everyone expects the famous London bridge to be that awesome bridge they see on the photos- wait no. nononononononononono. That would be Tower bridge. London bridge? YEA that’s just a damn bridge. Tower bridge is the pretty one! I know eh??

What I hated about the UK was the two tap system. I mean what is so hard about premixed taps? I can’t take a damn shower! Now I know that I should be perfectly happy that I get water and if I was in India or Africa, then yeah it  makes sense- they don’t have facilities, Ich bin einverstanden! But here it’s just plain… I don’t know! GB is a developed country! Why don’t they have proper taps? And the houses are so damn cold! I understand that the buildings are old but so are they in Switzerland and I’m perfectly warm here…

All in all the trip was great and fun, but I do hope it’s Philadelphia for me next year!:D
