Something Different This Year
Sup Bluo! Sorry I haven't written to you lately. Haven't had any inspiration but today I just had something I needed to share. =)
Well, I was driving home earlier on and I had this sudden flashback about a HUGE christmas tree I saw in Sunway Giza. I call it the Donation Christmas Tree. Hehe...it's basically decorated with orphans' christmas wishes. And then I had this crazy idea about my own christmas present.
Lets see...where should I start. Okay. You see Bluo, I'm really crazy about presents especially when it comes to Christmas. It's the best celebration of the year! Haha...But this year, I thought I should do something different since I have almost everything. I thought of giving other children the opportunity to get something they wished for...the opportunity to feel happy during Christmas Day and the opportunity to feel that others do care for them in this world.
When I was driving, I just felt this sort of sadness when I thought of the orphans who have no family to celebrate with and on top of that, they had no chance of receiving presents like most of us children do. Isn't it sad to know that while you're happily ripping off present papers with your family by your side, there are children out there who are spending their christmas day all alone? Isn't it sad that while you're here believing in Santa Claus and hoping for him to present you with all kinds of cool toys and gadgets...there are children out there, staring out into the night sky and praying to God for a family or someone to love. It's just a sad thing, Bluo.
Back to the Donation Christmas Tree in Sunway Giza, I remembered handpicking one of this orphan. He's a boy...I can't really remember what age. Probably around 12 or so. And guess what's his Christmas wish? He wished only to have a pair of pants. I know it may seem nothing but how many of you out there who actually wished for a pair of pants as your Christmas present? I'm pretty sure that most of you craved for something more like a Barbie doll or err...I don't know..handphones or any cool stuff like that, right? So yea...I've come to a decision of getting myself something too during this Christmas. My Christmas wish this year would be to fulfill at least one orphan's wish..I want to give my opportunity of receiving presents to someone else who hadn't the chance in a long, long time.
Making someone else happy in ways that you can never believe is just so much like a miracle. It's a Christmas Miracle! Sometimes, others happiness, can be your happiness too. Knowing that I will be able to transform a sad face into a happy one...even for a moment, would make my Christmas the most memorable one of all!
Well then, Bluo. Just thought of sharing what I wanted to do this Christmas. Hahaha...MERRY CHRISTMAS!! =D
