gifts of HOPE
now that chemo is over (although this cancer thing is far from over)….now that i ‘FEEL’ more like my old-self (although physically my body is still slowly repairing from all the damages)….now that life goes on....i want you to know,
so, this post is especially dedicated to the BLOGGER GANG. near or world apart. brought together through the www. connecting with each other virtually. sharing and peeking into one another lives through our blogs.
ever since my brain start to function normally again, i have been thinking (thinking hard) how can i possible express my appreciation for your kindness, support and generosity to me.
such cliché to say this but very true, my prayer was finally answered by a small booth set up in front of a supermarket. just so you know, i seldom go to this supermarket anymore due to inconveniency (and because i shop more at organic shop now) but that day, i really wanted some strawberries and raspberries and this supermarket have the more decent-looking one (unfortunately, it's not organic).
so, by chance, through my craving for strawberries and raspberries, i stumbled upon the best gifts i can ever think of, the
dear all, i purchased on your behalf the GIFTS OF HOPE from WorldVision, a mosquito nets from EACH OF YOU for children and families in need. to reduce a teeny weenie fraction of the risk of children dying from malaria. the gift of a safe night’s sleep. it’s not a lot but it will make a difference to a few.
it’s a gift you cannot hold and own but a gift that you can feel from your HEART. you all have shown me your BIG heart and your mighty kindness, i wish for that kindness to continue and to spread it on. it’s the best gift i have ever bought for anyone and i really hope you will like it too.
tis the season for hope and love. spread the love.
YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!

about: World Vision
if you want to spread the love wider, i have downloaded the catalogue here: GIFTS OF HOPE
Note: purchase of every gift comes with a special gift card for that person the gift given on their behalf. however, since i only have your e-mail addresses (and it’s also a good thing to save cost of printing the cards), i asked WorldVision personnel whether they can send you all an e-card instead (i got your email add from zmm). they are okay to make this exception and do let me know if you didn’t receive the e-card by end of next week. cheers.
