I thought the pause will be shorter.. However due to technical problems, my blogging pause is still on :(
Hope to be back very soon, with lots of photos and sketches for you..
Happy Blog surfing and enjoy your day :)

Last night, I watched parts of the Live 8 Concerts on mbc4 (who didn't refer to this event as anything more than 10 hours of continuous music.. WOW!!!)

It was my sister who figured out that Live 8 could be related to the Great 8.. and Make Poverty History (of which I'm sure you must've heard or gotten an e-mail)

I was really touched.. How could they unite all these artists from all around the world.. at the same time.. and they were broadcasting from 8 or 9 places (not sure).. The cool thing I really liked was when Sting was singing and changed the lyrics from "I'll be watching you" to "we'll be watching you" while the photos of the great8 (the 8 leaders who are supposed to meet on the 6th to decide on the Black continent's future) were displayed on the sides of the stage and in the background was a slide show of each of them!!! As to tell them.. hmm.. take care.. whatever you're deciding.. we'll be watching you!!

I saw yesterday how vulnerable I am to pain.. every time someone said something motivating like "We could be the generation who puts end to poverty!/ Are you ready to change the world??/ Nobody should starve in the 21st century!" tears would come up to my eyes .. really embarrassing, and totally out of my control!

I guess my eyes start tearing because I feel the world's pains are so huge and will never be wiped away.. I've always known the world like that.. could we make poverty history?? It's impossible.. There will always be someone who wants it all for himself.. If I don't store my food.. can I trust you to feed me when I'm hungry?? It's purely instinctive.. the rules of survival..
I don't know.. may be I'm pessimistic, I really want the world to be a better place but I don't trust us human beings to do it

One last word.. The world has exploited Africa in every way possible for centuries now.. This is the least they can do.. They owe it to her people..

Another last word .. How come there was no concert in Cairo??
