i'll stand by you




i decided on my first new year resolution today. i had supper with my family at one of the coffeeshops in angmokio and there was this old man. he was limping and we could tell from the way he speaks that he was a little mentally unsound. he was not working as a cleaner but he kept picking up all the litter around with his bare hands. i thought it was really stupid since he wouldnt even be paid. i dont know i suppose it was the way he acted his unkempt appearance the kind laughter he had when i asked him why he was picking up the litter. something tugged at the heartstrings.. mum offered to give him money. my money.. >.< but. still. it made me feel a whole lot better.

looking at him reminded me of all the other people around who's plight could be worse than him. also made me extremely guilty for splurging on food/clothes for the past 2weeks. today was cafe cartel, it was the 6th restaurant i had dine at for the past 14days!! so this year, i'm going to do charity work. by my own initiative. i can't make a resolution to be thrifty >.< i'd fail terribly. i said 2009 will change me positively. it will. its starting to..

p.s. i love you cherie this is for you 2. you can't blame ignorance ^^
