I love singing. I do it for myself. Actually it helped me a lot in building my self-esteem. It’s a long story, but what’s important here is that I just love singing. I think it’s amazing to be able to do things in your life that you enjoy and love and find yourself into. But that’s all. I don’t want to be labeled as a singer or anything.

(and future president of the USA) Barack Obama
More than 1.2 billion people, one in every five on earth, survive on less than $1 a day.
Of the 49 least developed countries, 31 receive less aid today than they did in 1990.
Over 800 million people go to bed hungry every day…300 million are children.

I’ve been so bad lately, it hurts. I should stop.
Each time I hear the financial news, I feel like driving my car off a cliff or into a pole.
If I don’t drive my car off a cliff… Europe or Malaysia … or both?!
If I see her today on my way home holding the ‘Single Mother, in need of money’ sign, I should ask her if she needs help finding a job…right?
I wonder what they’ll have to say about the Palestinian - Israeli conflict…
