when you're sick and promise never to take being healthy for granted again...

Heck! I say this all the time when i'm sick, i'm such a sook and its something that has constantly churned in my head this past week. (But with a burger instead, with beef and cheese and pineapple and bacon and relish toasted in a panini bun instead.......oooohhhh Grill'd how you fulfill me!) DROOOOOOOOOOL ahhhhh it hurts!!! why did i just do that to myself? *sad face*

Two of my favourite things

On a much brighter note, SleepyBear compliments of Ashleigh Graham, has kept me company this past week as i endeavour to live on $2 a day. Good thing is  he didn't smell like food and i didn't feel bad not sharing my jelly with him, he understood and well.....slept while i devoured it anyway.

If you know me well, or perhaps not at all

You'd realise that i spend most of my day pondering on what's going to be in my stomach next.

It's like what Leo says in Inception, "They say we only use a fraction of our brain's true potential"

Well HECK MAJORITY of my true potential is spent thinking of food!!! Dammit!

And this week has critically challenged me, i can't focus in lectures and i can't do my readings without having to re read the sentence for the third time.

For me, LivingBelowTheLine is an experience that is truly irreplaceable and in no way could i have got a better glimpse what 1.4 billion people go through  E V E R Y D A Y than by taking up this challenge.Some people look at this campaign as a gesture of charity,  but as Mandela said

Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.

And nothing hits home better than that. 

Poverty is pain.

It feels like a disease.

It attacks a person not only materially,

But also morally.

It eats away at ones dignity and

drives one into total despair.
