Dope.It's what I would give to Freedom Writers, the movie I just finished watching.
Haven't done no homework yet... But, nvm. =Pp
Pretty way beyond my expectations.
I always thought INSPIRATIONAL movies were silly and down-to-earth naive, totally cheesy; but this one definitely has a certain magic to it.
I do think that poverty affects a person's expectations of themselves. Like, what you see all around you is what you're gonna become some day. Has any kid living near the Smokey Moutain in Manila ever thought of catching the latest Hollywood movie?
I worry about having enough time to complete my homework and still PLAY all the time,
and there are millions, may be even billions, barely surviving everyday of their lives, fighting every second like every moment alive is a war to be able to live to 18, and starving with no shit while I'm constantly forming plans in my head about, what's the latest new food outlet/ restaurant/ great makan stuff I wanna try?
I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out of all this knowledge and thoughts and stuff some day. And I'm pretty adamant about going to volunteer on some UN mission some day. It just feels like something I wanna do, it's not even like I feel so altruistic or Mother Teresa, but I just think that as the better-off person in this world, in a world so sucky and full of shit, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Make it better if you think it's nothing but you know, shit.
I mean,
I think that there's more to life than just getting caught up in our own lives, our own troubles, our own problems, our own fun, and stuff, and you just turn a blind eye to the world.It's certainly way COOLer than working 9-to-5 in some ivory tower bustling with people so rich they could buy every strand of hair on your body for one strand for a thousand to me. You know. Everytime I watch movies, any kind of movies; even serials, I get hit by this feeling: OMG I friggin' hate rules. Why does all these stupid institutions love to work against people who DARE to be DIFFERENT.
But then,
I still think myself more as a kid so I'm still only just learning my way around, about things 'K... WAHAHA
Anyways,
of cuz movie is not exactly about poverty,
but the point is, people are just borne into different starting points in life. And it kind of gets to you.
So it's really something to think for yourself who are you really gonna be, I guess.Anyways, I would love to share more about the movie.
But it would be really spoiling the greatness of it. HEEX
And after such a great movie,
it's time to start doing homework.
Sleepless in Boon Keng.
WAHZZZ.
But an undergraduate education is still the MOST important thing in this life to me,
like ever,
like more than ever.
I'll try my best for its positive externalities. WAHAHAI mean, getting an education is not only about yourself.
It could be about an entire human race. WAHAHA
Post some photos I took on my lousy cameraphone:
From inside the bus, the Sun was kind of partially concealed by the clouds, and you could see the rims of some golden, shining object. It was totally sway but thanks to my lousy handphone, it was totally un-sway.
And I thought these photos below would look perfect if only the sky was captured like, rightly.You know, bunch of people cast as black shadows, and a brightening sky, emerging Sun coming from the background towards you,that's COOL.But thanks to my lousy camcorder...ANYWAYS it was taken on our second day up the village in Chiangmai. HEHHEHHEH
And I down-sized this,but you could so see my room windows.And that enormous huge black shadow at the bottom of my pupil is none other than my camcorder lens.
Photography is cool eh!Seriously wanna save up to get the next-in-line after Canon Powershot S3 IS... WAHAHA
;rock YOU.
