| Why is Bill Gates pouring ice cold water on himself?....#icebucketchallenge |
I had been seeing pictures of people pouring water (apparently ice cold water with ice cubes) on themselves and I wondered whether it was another crazy online trend. So when I saw this article on mailonline.co.uk (I know, I visit it a lot). It is an online newspaper so I like to go to it for international news.
Anyway apparently it is a
challenge to raise money for a charity organization. Right now a lot of famous
people have been taking the challenge. They pour ice cold water on themselves
then nominate people to do the challenge (just like the sunshine blogger award)
and they upload their picture or video and people donate.
Right now the only famous
person to deny to do is President Barack Obama (and probably me too….I am famous
too na). But honestly I don’t think I can do the challenge. I don’t even have
my bath with cool water, if it is not hot or warm then there is a big problem.
I would just stand there for so many minutes and be scared of the water. I know
how I almost had panic disorder symptoms thinking of using cold water during
NYSC camp. And the 21 days I was in that camp, having my bath in the very
coooollllld morning (at 4am because we had to have our bath before it was light
because of the guys) was the worst part of that camp. Now that I have passed
that stage, no way am I taking the ice bucket challenge. I would rather donate
some money to the charity like Barack Obama did.
