Watching Hope For Haiti last night was so inspiring. As I said before: "It was so inspiring to see celebrities like that sharing their gifts, winging everything without names in the captions, without applause, and for such a good cause. I feel horrible not caring as much as I should have when my school announced it or when I first heard about it, but at least, for once, the media is doing something right by spreading this awareness" [*104*].

And, to You: I would have liked to get a plane ticket to Haiti with you. We could have done great things.

Anyhow, I was watching the footage they were showing straight from Haiti, and I couldn't help thinking what it would be like to go down there and help. I can't do anything too extensive -- I certainly can't help set a broken leg or tourniquet a wound. Maybe I can't even stand the sight of too much blood. Still, I could hand out lunch to those who are really doing the work. I could help dig in rubble and help carry supplies. I wouldn't be completely useless. Besides, they really need people and support there. Ah, I really wish the show could have aired before the school week ended -- I'm sure a lot more girls would have felt inspired to help out. And I... I would have cared more the first time I heard about it.

Now, I obviously can't just get a plane ticket to Haiti. But at least I was able to make a monetary donation. Agh, "the least that I could do".... I would rather do "the most that I could" =/. I really do know this, but I still hate conversations like the following:

Chris Nunéz: More now than ever before

Rini: About Haiti?

Chris Nunéz: "My God. Come with me to Haiti >__<."

Chris Nunéz: ur status o.o

Rini: Mhmm =/

Rini: Did you watch Hope For Haiti tonight?

Chris Nunéz: No I didn't

Chris Nunéz: Would you really want to go to Haiti ?

Rini: I want to help, but God knows I would probably just break down if I ever were really there in person

Rini: But it's like... I can do digging. And hauling, and running errands and shit. If they needed someone for that kind of shit, I would go down there =/. But it's more than that. There's bodies and disease and riots and crimes and stuff going on now.

Rini: Not like I would be able to go anyway. Best thing I can do is order the live performance CD from this show for the proceeds.

Chris Nunéz: Honestly, your disposition to do good is great but trust me..

Chris Nunéz: I've been there before what happened now

Chris Nunéz: And it was terrible

Chris Nunéz: Now its probably in chaos

Rini: Yeah I figured that

Rini: Thoughts are different from actions anyhow =/

Chris Nunéz: yeah

-sigh-. HOPE for Haiti is right. They are in dire need of hope. The musical performances on the show were so inspiring too. Coldplay did their best version of A Message I ever heard. It was acoustic, and said: "The bitter breeze has blown / And I'm on fire, for you, clearly / The bitter breeze has blown / Taken everything I own."

You don't have to be alone. Amen. God bless Haiti.
