POEM by Matt: Worry

To worry for no reason
Blood pressure, hair loss, depression; a treason of trust in the heavens
Paying insurance only to worry "is it REALLY insured?"
A sin in itself to go through torture whilst in paradise
An accusation of someone nonexistent
A dismemberment of good energies
A tornado of fire burning love
Twisting the truth of beautiful colors from imagination
THAT'S IT!
All of my imagery is focused on the negative outcome
While I'm a believer in destiny
I believe I will carve my own future with the pink of my tongue, insurance of the heavens, and the trust in a Bob Marley song
Everything will be all right
So don't worry hahaha

POEM: Love and Success

Love and success is my motivation
Every day I think to myself
Will I improve? Will I achieve my goals?
Days pass so quickly, time seems to fly
So I aim for the sky
With the little time we are given
It's love and success that motivates me
Keeps me strong and encouraged
Gives me the courage to keep going
Not knowing what the future has in store
Imagining the best and hoping for more
Life is not to be wasted, only you can determine what it's for
Love and success is my motivation

POEM by Matt: Get the girl, Get the job, Get the life

There's a PH scale of confidence

But instead of 0 to 14, neutral being 7

Its -2 to 2

-2 Uninterested, you're not even there

-1 Nervous, the person at the bar on their touch screen

0 Just there, the person giving glimpses of eye contact

+1 Comfortable, meeting new people and noticeable

+2 Confident, star of the show; on your game and most fun

Great things usually happen when you're confident

The most beautiful girl I've kissed was when I was a +2

The best shows I perform are when I'm at a +2

The poems that touch my own heart are when I'm at a +2

One life to live gorgeous...

Dare to be confident

POEM by Matt: My Biggest Fear

I'm getting OLDER!
Bones deteriorating, irritation growing, nonchalant attitude seeping into my persona
I feel like cursing!
I'm sinking into quicksand; the bottom being dust
Hahaha! But I'm not alone
My peers are in same quicksand boat
I'll just compare my situation with the most miserable person here.....
Now I feel better. What's next?
Will I still think about girls that are this age when I'm THAT age????? Lol
Oh it's all inevitable
Since I'm stuck here in this pool of beach, might as well check my Facebook status :)

CHARITY: Happy Hearts Fund - More Schools, More Hope

          

On Monday, September 26, 2011, Happy Hearts Fund celebrated the openings of the Al Munawar and Hikmatul Hayat kindergartens that were destroyed a little over two years before in the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked the Bandung region of Indonesia on September 1, 2009.  An estimated 87,000 homes and buildings and 3,000 schools were destroyed that day, and just three months after the disaster first response organizations had already left, leaving these communities alone in their despair.    Children, teachers, and members of the community join together to celebrate the school openings with John Andrews and members of Happy Hearts Fund.      Phil Caputo, Executive Director of Happy Hearts Fund, interacts with the excited students.

Thanks to the generous support of John Andrews, Happy Hearts Fund brought immeasurable hope back to the lives of the collective 232 children from the Al Munawar and Hikmatul Hayat kindergartens by allowing them to return to school and better their futures. The communities prepared a memorable celebration that included children dancing, children playing the angklung (a traditional musical instrument made of bamboo) and the sharing of delicious treats made by the families of the community. One head teacher summed up the community's thoughts by saying, "There are no words that can paint a picture of how happy we feel."      The children express their joy in returning to school and the hope for a better future.

John Andrews supported the rebuilding of the schools in honor of his mother, Mary Staples Andrews. Mas Sitri, an Indonesian mural artist, decorated the exterior walls of the schools with bright, beautiful pictures and the entryways to the school with rose garlands, Mary's favorite flower. She taught her children to love family, to be kind and courteous to all, to work hard, and to value education - ideals that will surely echo through the halls of these kindergartens.

HHF receives specific donations to underwrite all administrative and fundraising expenses, allowing all public donations to support our programs. HHF is extremely grateful to our corporate partners - Continental Airlines, DLA Piper, HP and ING - for their philanthropic commitment to help build a future for children affected by natural disasters.

HHF is committed to help accomplish the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MGD's).
