Orlando Bloom’s Stuff Up For Sale For Charity

Written by Merve on June 20, 2009

orlando-bloom-i1The hunk’s mom, Sonia Copeland Bloom, is moving house, and she wants to clear out her son’s room before she does it. What do moms normally do when this happens? My own parents jammed my stuff into boxes and left them in storage. Some of the stuff, I decided to get and use in my own place. But then again, I am NOT Orlando Bloom. I do not have tons of stuff that I can sell for a hefty price to the countless collectors out there.

This is what the star’s mom is planning on doing. She has already spoken to her son, who has given her permission to do so, with one stipulation: the proceeds of the sale would go to charity. So what can you get your hands on? The Guardian lists some of the items that will be on sale:

Among the items up for grabs are a bodyline wetsuit used by Bloom, 32, when he filmed a scene with Elijah Wood in The Return of the King and a poster signed by the entire cast.

A pair of Moroccan slippers and boots he wore in The Kingdom of Heaven could also entice film buffs.

But fans of Bloom – who now lives in west London – can also get their hands on more personal items such as the badminton and tennis racquets he used as a boy.

Gucci shoes, Puma trainers, polo shirts and a hooded waterproof Gap jacket belonging to the star will also be auctioned.

It will be interesting to see how much this auction will make. The charities that will benefit are Unesco, the New Marlow Theatre, cancer charity Odyssey and the UKC Music Scholarships.

Looking Through the Eyes of Despair

Written by Merve on August 1, 2007

Eyes of Despair

A lot can be said about a person by one glance of their eyes. Expressions can be extracted from a person�s eyes and this is something that can be obviously connoted up close. Especially for children who are certainly innocent and are no experts in hiding inner emotions and feelings, it is but normal to get a prelude to what they are experiencing at the moment. It is simply something that is hard to find.

While the whole story of such plights of lesser fortunate siblings cannot be entirely assessed, it does not take a person to understand why such people would be found in that predicament. But people do not really need to hear their story as most would come from typical mishaps such as financial and lesser responsible people who start to become selfish at certain points of their lives.

Siblings are the victims of such selfish acts and bearing the brunt for them is totally unacceptable.

Taking Time Out to Spend Quality Time with Charity Institutions

Written by Merve on March 3, 2007

Time is gold and money for most. But time and attention is important as well to people who are left in institutions that house most of the abandoned children and elders today. The attention that they seek is the attention that they lost from the day that they were left out in the cold for people who simply cannot face responsibility in the way that it should be.

Unconditional Love and Affection

Attention and time for these people do not need to be in the form of cash and goods. It is more on providing care and a crying shoulder for most since all their problems and woes are totally kept within them. Storing all of these and not being able to let out emotions is as hard as it gets. But people just don’t seem to care much for others since they obviously have not matured enough to take on responsibilities that people should be always aware of.

Rare Animals Will Become Rare Species Soon

Written by Merve on February 19, 2007

The common way for people to see wild life animals is usually towards the television set or photo images that we see everyday. Another is perhaps going to the nearby zoo where a person may catch a short glimpse of the animal roster that they have to offer. But in most cases, there are still a lot of rare animals to be seen in the world today and that the only people who may see them are actually the ones responsible for their possible non-existence in the near future, the hunters.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles, birds, monkeys, bears and other mammals that are known to live on earth may not be seen by most people and some have already been declared extinct due to the deprivation of their right to procreate and wander off into the wilderness where hunters seek their prey.

There are preservations and foundations that exert their efforts to save them from extinction, no matter how dangerous they are. However, everyone must do his part in it. Without the extra effort, they are good as memories of our fictitious past.

Choosing Right Beneficiaries in Need

Written by Merve on January 16, 2007

Charitable organizations would always identify what particular area of interest they would consider to help out. With so much people in need today, it has gone as far as helping out places, worthy causes, schools and hospitals. But in a nutshell, all of them pertain to one worthy beneficiary that is of the human being.

It is not the sole fault of some parties for being on the hard end of living. It is by fate and not by choice that most people find themselves needing to seek help from the lucky beings in this world and in some cases, a helping hand coming from people who get fulfillment out of it.

The problem with the world today may perhaps be the proper identification of the groups in need. Some would focus on certain groups in need of food and shelter, but if explored a lot further, such efforts should be dissected a bit more since one area alone is not enough to cover.
