1   times up.   The Very sad Tsunami

I wAs home that night turning on my TV...watching CNN...

when I first turned on...30 something people died from the huge wave....

1 hr later after my shower....200 something....1 hr later....1000 something....

I went to sleep....waking up same station same news....over 10000s......keep rising...

I had a concert back then in less than 3 weeks....

my heart urges me to do something....seeing the still alive kids's faces with them alone,

no more parents....I was to supposed to promote my concert in a Mall....for 1 hr...

I changed plans...dunno it worked or not....to a  24 hr non stop fund raise relief event,

just make calls after callls...asking friends to come...with any talent at all...

asking anyone at all to come and give....no matter how late.....people did come.

That was a defined moment of my and their lives.....

as exhausted as we were....that night...as much as we thought we rasied ...

it was still like 1 drop of water on Giant sized heated frying pan...

but what I saw in my heart my mind...even I dunno them persoanlly....

whether the $ arrived intact....I know their lives will ave hope again...

3 weeks later Concert time...every$....goes to that purpose....(we paid for our own expenses)

A lot of close friends asked to keep some....at least the expnses.....

'How often or Have U ever that carzy fo just once to Give one big Chunk of $ to causes like tihs?we spent here n there...for what...we dont even remember...?'

at least once.

Now,

I drove my ES300 95 Lexus with 333000 km,

I have many tees...some even in the boxes at my basement unopened...

jeans a few...1 week/wash and then wear again...truly recycled

.............

..................

I promised myself that day on....maybe 1 day I have $ to afford an european finecars...

but I m just as happy owning a new japanese car ?

Knwoing the differences of $ saved...can go somewhere...some kid...

I dont see them...I dont have to....but knowing affrimatively that they will have their lives back

is ennough for me....for that logic...I waer a smile everyday...i give when I see such a need.

Giving is an exercise...if U dont do it regularly....it's just hard.

I hope I m ready to give...

my bday soon...I hope someone would oneday buy me those stuff I want...

but again it's Want Vs need....

I would rather...they use that$ to try giving ....then they know why i m who I m today.

another long email....hahah thx...n sorry.
