Ok so it's the start of my tutorial week and kind of dreading it. have to go back on tuse and wed this week, oh well. and I've not started on my homework either. damn.

not much happen this past week, was "layz-ing" at home all day. but I did went out and got IL DIVO's new CD Siempre and gwad is it great, I never thought I would like classical opera, but IL DIVO is like a whole other league. I decided to give IL DIVO a try and got their 2nd album Ancora before and I'm a fan ever since. never understand a word they are singing though, but I'd always get Goosebumps every time I here it.

OK on to more serious stuff. SO LISTEN UP!

as you can see on the side of my blog you see a new segment (though there's three new ones I've added) called "Causes to Support" and they are links to different organizations that I support. most of it are campaigns to help fight the AIDS pandemic in this world.

It all started with ALDO Youtaids campaign, then ONE which is the new tagline (or word) for Make Poverty History campaign and M.A.C cosmetics AIDS fund. And this year I've added a new organization started by Bono from U2 called (RED) which I think is a very fresh and new concept campaign. Then you see GAP (PRODUCT) RED, apple i-pod (PRODUCT) RED and so on which are companies that are a partner in the (RED) campaign. For more information on how you can help please click on the links.

to motivate you more here are some facts about AIDS and worldwide

1. Over 40 million people are living with AIDS worldwide
2. Almost half of the all the adults with AIDS or HIV are woman
3. About 14 000 people contract AIDS or HIV everyday
4. About 3 million people die of AIDS every year
5. Then bout another 5 million contract AIDS or HIV every year
6. More then half of all newly infections occur among the ages of 15 and 24
7. AIDS kills one child every minute
8. Most newly infected people aren’t aware that they have AIDS

And the worst thing is, there is still no cure for AIDS unless found early, so what we can do is spread the word and educate people and we can donate what seems a little amount of money to send live saving drugs to support the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Even if you can't fork out money, all you have to do is lend your voice and spared the word.

I sincerely hope you lend a hand in helping to prevent AIDS in this world.
