Today in the news about the earthquake, they were saying that only moneywise donations are required and they have an overwhelming amount of blankets and jackets and other stuff that they are not going to send all of them to Iran. They said they will keep some for the in need people in Toronto:)I think its wonderful..but this whole experience was really eye opening for me..I begin to know people a bit more..I don't want to judge people but its just an observation..when I was handing the flyers and asking people to contact red cross on the side walks, there were people who would want instantly to help cash wise without any questions asked, they were people who would read the flyer and would come back for more questions and there were people who didn't even wanted to get the flyer..The fact that some people didn't care why they are giving the mony without any questions asked really impressed me..to be hounest I have been really spectical of these kind of activities but now that the table has turned I am getting a good taste of fundraising and its importance..I will care from now on..and I will help even if at this point I am nearly broke..the fact that some people had a generous hand..no matter what really made me think twice..I think this experience however was really for a sad cuase but made me a better person and that's why I want to thank God for the nth time;)

A bunch of my friends and I after the fundraising went to see the movie "house of sand and fog" it was nice and as usual I cried..Shohreh Aghdashloo was good but the guy who acted as a persian man,which in reality he is not, was incredible..he acted as if his parents and his whole family are persian!!!very sad theme though...I tried so hard not to cry but I couldn't help it...then we went again to Pickle barrier but this time I ordered chicken salad...and it was sooo bad that I couldn't finish!!!I think chicken salad is not for me..not ever!!anyways I am going for the first time to a ski trip with 4 of my friends..I hope I don't break anything;)pray for me...

I know this post has become really big but one of my friends said that the reason why someone don't tell you something is may be because they don't want to hurt you..I don't know I'd rather get hurt but know it from some one who you call your friend than hear it from other people...don't you think?
