WATER CRISIS.....

HELLO...

Yeap..it's been o verry long time that i haven't writing anything in my journal. Right know at my hometown Ranau we do have a water crisis because of the  earthquake and tremors happen lately and it cause the river raging and  start to flowing then corrosive the soil and trees near the edge of the river. The river does the massive obliteration that makes the dams here are full with the trees and the water of the river contain with mud that makes our water supply totally cut down by them. It's been 5 days we don't have water and this issue really makes me and all people in ranau worry and panic because we don't have any water supply that we can use to cook, drink, shower and etc...

Some of the people here do have the gravity water mean the water are came from deep down the soil that they have dig to get these water and some of them got water from the river that it is not link with the river from Mount kinabalu. But what i want to share is...i am proud to be SABAHAN people because when people from other district heard and know the problem that we been faced, quickly they had contribute and helping us by giving us the mineral water and some food because right know the supply of mineral water from the shop are getting lower and people will scramble to get it. Contribution and helping from other district really helps us a lot and we don't know how we can repay for what they did. We so thankful to them and only God can bless them for what they did to us...

This situation also do effect with my eating style because to cook my veges i should wash it with lots of water. This make me feel worry because right know we only cook simply food that it does not using lot of water to prepare it. This means that, mostly i only cooked eggs, sausages, instant noodle and others that it is easy to prepare. For me i keep thinking what is the best veges that it will not used lot of water. Then i realized that there are  some veges that i can cook without using lots water to prepare it like tomatoes,brinjals, celery, zucchini, and etc... What i did is i just wash it then cut these veges then i cooked it. I'm so happy because i still can apply my eating style even tough we have water crisis right now.

What i want to share here is...when we have this problem, when i'm chatting with my aunty about food that i want to prepare, and at the same time i also decided to sell all my baking tools because i don't have time  to do baking at my home and i'm also don't want to  used any animal product when i'm baking because at my place there is limited and very hard to get ingredients for baking that i can used. When my aunty ask me why did i want to sell my baking tools i told her that i'm a vegetarain (actually i'm a vegan now) and it's hard for me to get ingredient animal free here in Ranau if i want to bake. But what really surprising me on what my aunty told me that....

IF YOU A VEGAN NOW IT DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU WILL BE A VEGAN FOR EVER.  YOU ONLY BECAME A VEGAN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS... that is what she told me and with this statement by her, it makes me feel angry and sad because it seem that they never take serious on what i want to be. If i want to be a vegan that mean i want to be a vegan FOREVER..... and not in a short period like they think. But this thing make me feel more determined to show that i will be a vegan forever and i am not  fooling around with it.

If other people do not support you and don't believe on what they telling you about your decision, just ignore it. I know sometime their statement can make you feel hurt and angry but don't take it too serious..Just forgive them but show them that you are not messing around with your decision about it.

SHOWING PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THING THAT YOU WANT TO BE CAN MAKE THESE PEOPLE BECOME MORE APPRECIATED WITH YOU.
