Charitable Me
About a year ago, while surfing for my favourite singer, Clay Aiken (who, by the way, was cute and is NOT gay), I found that he had founded a foundation (no pun intended with all the founds) meant to aid children with developmental disabilities.
Given the fact that Aiken was supporting a cause which I found dear to me (and that I was PMS-ing at that time), I ended up sobbing at the sweetness of it all.
A year later and not a year wiser, I revisited the site and fueled with the Spirit of Christmas, I decided to see if I could help the foundation. (And by doing so possibly increase the chances of me meeting Clay Aiken and proving to the world that he's not gay)
And so, I clicked onto the how to help link.
Below are the ways to help followed by my thoughts in italics.
1. Donate Online, by telephone or by mail
Eep! No money!
2. Visit our Store to purchase products. Proceeds benefit the Foundation.
Umm.. sure but only if there's a store in Malaysia.
3. Donate airline miles
I use Airasia! Airasia does not provide frequent flyer miles and it DEFINITELY does not fly to the States.
4. Designate The Bubel/Aiken Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or life insurance policy
I don't even have a will and I'm not sure if I have a life insurance policy... So no helping there!
5. You can use GoodSearch.com like any other search engine – the site is powered by Yahoo. – but each time you do, money is generated for the Foundation. Every time you search the Internet a penny is donated towards the Foundation.
Whee! I can do that! I AM charitable!!!
As of now, I am officially using Goodsearch.com as my homepage and search engine to contribute to the Bubel-Aiken Foundation. That's one step closer to bringing me to heaven! (yea right!!!)
Oh, and if you doubt my charitableness, this is a picture of an RM7 stuffed dog which was sold in the name of charity. (Of course the fact that Tim bought it instead of me does not help my case, does it?)
(No offence Tim, but yeah... I do agree with you.. It is one sad looking dog. But it's sorta in a way better than the pig that sang Tamil/Mandarin songs!)
Missing you loads Fadli....

Wow, few people are as honest about their selfish motivations when they donate to a charity let alone in their motivation for donating to The BAF. You stated flat out that you only wanted to do it because you had a desire to meet Clay. I give you credit for being honest but maaaaan what a horrible reason to support a foundation. Shame on you.
Oh yeah, guess what? HE IS GAY!!! Deal with it. If you fans would spend half as much time letting Clay be who he is was instead of shoving him back into his closet, maybe all of you, Clay and his fans would be a little happier!!!
