Sa Amerika kaya common din ang charitable causes? Dito kasi parang laging big deal.

Tatakbo ako o magha-hiking ako for AIDS sufferers, sponsor me.

Wala namang masama, medyo alien lang yung concept sa akin. Sa Pinas nagtataka nga ako kung bakit may mga game show na artista minsan ang contestants, don’t they have enough money already? E dito parang lahat nang “celebrity” may charity na sinusuportahan. Imagine the shame and shock kung bigla sasabihin nung contestant, “actually Chris I’m taking the prize to my bank, I need a deposit for my dream kitchen”

Anyhu, Red Nose Day nga kahapon. All week may fund raising activities sa school ni pogiBoy. 20p na cakes, biscuits, etc. plus bring some money for donation. Bukod dyan e may separate letter pa dahil may trip daw sa Brighton yung isang year (I forget which year exactly) sa Brighton at nanghihingi nang stuff for selling to raise funds.

Medyo naiirita ko sa ganyan. Imagine ha, hihingi nang stuff to sell to raise money. They don’t actually go to car boot sales to sell them, they sell them back to you, the parents. Bakit di na lang manghingi nang pera? Parang ganun din naman ang kinalabasan, papakahirap pa kong mag-reminder na kelangang magdala nang something.

I know, kusang-loob dapat. Nagkukusang-loob naman kami e. Pag siguro bilog ang buwan talagang lahat nang bagay napapansin ko.

Ahh no, i’m not having one of those red periodic days.

BUT before you get the impression I’m a total scrooge, I in fact love Red Nose Day.

BBC’s shows and all those wonderful skits, TV-addict heaven. I love the Stella McCartney shirts this year :-)

pogiBoy enjoyed it as well.
