FAMINE 12








(a simple outfit -famine 12 t-shirt paired with  tie dye leggings)

the first question you might be thinking right now?is the title of this post.what is famine 12? famine 12 is a joint school program  held by world vision that you starve for 12 hours without any food (only drinking is allowed) .you will be asking the others to sponsor you for doing the famine 12,those amount of money that you get by the sponsors will be donate to world vision .the point of this program is so you understand the starvation of people in other countries is in need of food and you should treasure what you have not everyone is as fortunate as you.this is mainly what i did this weekend:on a saturday morning waking up early before 9am,the event starts at 10am and ends at 10pm,throughout the day we did certain amount of workshops/activities such as movies,games,brief talk about the unfortunate people......ect well i couldn't believe that i didn't make it because after 5 hours later i felt so dizzy.i updated my status on fb haha.a friend pass by and said they saw the status and told me i should go to the nurse room so i went to the  nurse room with the help of the first aid people they gave me coke,sweets,hot chocolate(anything that is sweet and tasty LOL).it was like heaven after not eating in such a long time but i was sad that i didn't make it ,i broke the boundaries of eating.in between i went back and forth several times because i felt so dizzy/headache,it was like the great escape since famine 12 was so boring.there were things to do but without food i really don't feel like doing anything at all because i didn't have any energy and my brain isn't working at all. being in the nurse room just laying there feeling unconscious i understand the environment of being starve.i myself couldn't even possible make it throughout the 12 hours...how did the people even starve for over a week? i felt so sorry for them . even i couldn't make it through i really want to tryout famine 30.i wonder what it would be like for me then.what will happen to me?i learn another thing about myself my body is in need of sugar (low sugar blood rate).or else i can be very weak and get faint.

i hate to say but sorry for the the long post-i have a bunch to say!
