p4a

Heeeey!

It's me again. Well, new thing to tell today: I'm very into YouTube. I mean, the YouTube community. I'm subscribed to lots of vloggers, and I actually always wanted to become one of those youtubers, but I guess I never had the time, you know, I didn't want to be one of those vloggers who updated their channels once a month, so if I ever become a vlogger, I will dedicate time to it.
Anyway, today is a pretty big day for the YouTube community, because it's Project for Awesome! "What the hell is Project for Awesome?!" you may wonder. Well, it is a project organized by Hank and John Green (a.k.a. the vlogbrothers), in which various youtubers upload videos about charities they care about, encouraging people to donate to those charities. They also make some raffles, in which they donate stuff which people who enter (by donating to a specific charity) can win.
So yeah, pretty awesome, isn't it?

Well, for me, it is not very easy to donate to these charities, because I don't have my own credit card. Well, I do, but I don't pay for it, so it's kind of not having one of my own.
BUT, I managed to do a #p4a kind of action. Well, I was hungry, but there weren't any "snacks" at home, so I went out to buy something to eat, and less than a block away from home, a guy reaches to me and asks me if I had any books that I could give him, because he was collecting some for his son's school. He told me that this school had no money for this year's study trip, because the only money they had, they had to spend it on books they didn't have. So I went back home, and grabbed about ten books and gave them to him. This guy was really nice and grateful for what I did, which brightened up my day, and I hope I brightened his a little bit :)

So that's all, folks!
Go to http://projectforawesome.com and make some donations! DFTBA!
Cee Cee.

P.S. I know that these days have been a lot of blah blah, but not so much photos. I hope someday soon I get my PC back so I can post more photos. Love you!

#60 - it's the end of the world as we know it


Today, I went with a friend asking for food from house to house so we could send it to the people affected by the earthquake. There were a lot of people who were so nice to us, they were touched, because we were gathering all the food walking! There actually was a woman who gave us her number in case we needed a car to go to Concepción or wherever. AGHHH she was the nicest!
After we finished and our hands couldn't handle any more weight (we had like 4 full bags each), we went to my friend's house to leave everything and realised how much we walked! It didn't seem so much, actually. But it was nice :)

Well, the photo was taken during our walk, before entering one of the streets where we gathered most of the food (and where the nice woman lived). I wanted to take a self-portrait, because my hair looked nice and would've looked perfect against sunset, but when my friend called, I went immediately to her house, and it was worth it. +

So that's all, folks!
Cee Cee.

P.S. As you can see I don't have photoshop and I don't edit my photos too much. Actually, the most elaborated thing I do with Picasa is this gradual Black&White thingy. The rest is a camera issue, like when I set the ISO, exposure and that kind of stuff.
