Do A Good Deed (at least once a year)
A couple weeks back (maybe just one or two) Bernice had a garage sale at her place and most ofthe stuff on sale were just clothes. On the last week of her big sale, we went over, bringing someof the clothes our seniors left behind. We made a whopping total of AUD10 - split between me and Jason, that makes it AUD5 per person.
"We can eat Hungry Jacks already~" is what I said.
Tania made an interesting comment as we stared at our massive piles of clothing we had all compiled together from our own cupboards and store rooms: "We're so commercialised, having so many things."
Materialism. Yeaps. It sure looks like we are victims of it. Buy Buy Buy. Nice Nice Nice. Sale Sale Sale. Me Like Me Like Me Like.
But even as I cleared my cupboard, scanning through and pondering over some pieces, I still find it hard to discard some. And believe me, I srsly need to do it.
60kg worth of check in luggage doesn't even feel enough for the load in my room. And that's under dire circumstances where my parents have to resort to just 7kg for their own things.
One of the other things I pondered - to sell or to donate. Hmm.
Well, since the garage sale didn't turn out to be the next great FCUK boutique
, obviously donation's the better option left. But hey, if I just think of it this way: I'm doing a good deed.
And that makes me feel even better than getting 5 bucks by selling T-shirts for a buck a piece.
I found an ad that was asking for donation of clothes to a South Australian aboriginal community and emailed the guy. I'm hoping he would actually come but otherwise, we'll just dump them to the charity clothes bin at uni. ヾ(＠＾(∞)＾＠)ノ
Think about it! Stuff you don't need, give it to someone else who can't even afford it. (￣▽+￣*)
