So the days are passing really quickly, and in a month I'll be on my way to Armenia again.. (didn't come soon enough). I'm busy with work, trying to get everything cleaned up by the time I leave (I think my mom has officially fired me.. haha FINALLY), and also working with the AYF group who's going to Artsakh this summer to do some rennovation projects there (AYF Youth Corps).
Oh yes, I almost forgot. If you live in the L.A. vicinity, and you have a blood type of B+/- or O+/-, please go to the Children's Hospital in Hollywood, and donate blood for an Armenian 14-yr old named Natalie. She was just recently diagnosed with leukemia, and needs blood. The Donor Room is open Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, or by appointment. The Hospital's phone # is 323-660-2450. Let's pray for Natalie. :)
Now, my random topic. Last week I got an email from my cousin who's currently in Armenia, and she was telling me about how one day, a marshotni she was sitting in had an accident. And the thing I was focused on, was how she wrote about ALLLL the people who came to the accident sight, trying to either help with the situation, or just watching. I remembered this today, because this morning I went downstairs to have my coffee and the TV was showing this fatal accident on the 10 freeway... then later on while I was driving on the 118, there was a car flipped over on one side of the road (it had JUST happened)... and no one was stopping to help! So, when just last week I thought it was funny (and I admit, pretty dumb) that Armenians gathered to see what was going on, and were all up in everyone's business... today I was saying.. GEEEZ, i bet the people in that car wished there were some of those Armenians helping them out. I know... totally random, but just a thought I had today while driving.
I spent a good part of my day in the downtown L.A. area today. I have to admit, it was probably my first time going all over that part of the city. I think most people don't realize how HUGE the "LA area" really is. So, today I saw prostitutes, drug addicts, homeless people on Skid Row, mexicans selling cucumbers and watermelon to passerby-s, kids blowing bubbles at almost every corner, people blasting weird ethnic music from their stores, and others asking me if I wanted a hot dog every 3 steps. Very very interesting experience!
Tomorrow most of everything will be closed in Reagan's memory. So many people went to see him while his body was at the Prsidential Library in Simi Valley. I'm just now realizing how truly popular he was (compared to Bush).
TSUH! :)~
