I was watching "World Trade Center" just last night. Yeah the one starring Nicholas Cage.

And I suddenly remembered a particular short movie tribute clip this dude made for his girlfriend who was in the 2 Towers on 11th September 2001.

You got to check it out. I mean though that day may have since passed some 6 years ago. I believe the tragic events happened that day will still live on...

Everytime something reminds me of 9/11 (Be it a movie or something...) I will always remembered one question.

Where were you that very moment when the world changed forever?

Blood Diamond: The Real Story

"I asked myself if God could ever forgive us for what we have done to each other. Then I realized. God left this place long ago..."

Danny Archer ("Blood Diamond", 2006)

Can you remember the stuff you did when you were 14 or 15 years old?
What was I doing? I was busy skipping classes, chasing girls and wasn't being serious with anything in life. I think most of us weren't exactly taking life seriously either. All we wanted was to have fun.

Half way around the world, 14 year old boys were being kidnapped and forced to join the rebels of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea as child soldiers. Can you believe this? You would think that the world today should be more civilized yet today, more than 200,000 child soldiers still exist? Fighting against their own people to gain control over diamond mines, oil wells, gold mines, etc.

child soldiers

Here we are complaining about problems with our girlfriends (or boyfriends if you are a girl), family, school, friends, etc... And people. Real people are running away from their homes for fear of their lives as their countries are involved in a bloody civil war.

Sierra Leone refugees running away

I watched this movie twice (I don't watch movies more than once in the cinema) and this has officially become my Favorite Movie of all time. This movie has hit more nerves and make you actually sit up and notice more than most movies have. This movie is obviously none other than "Blood Diamond."

The movie is basically set against the backdrop of chaos and civil war that enveloped 1990s Sierra Leone. It is based on the story of Danny Archer (Played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and Solomon Vandy (Played by Djimon Hounsou), both of whom come from completely different histories and lives; yet fate brings them together in a common quest to recover a rare, pink diamond.

Solomon was taken from his family and forced into the diamond fields where the finding of such a rare gem is an enormous risk. If found, the miners will be instantly killed, yet this diamond is the ticket to save his family from life as a refugee and more importantly, save his son from a worse fate as a child soldier.

Archer plys his trade as an illegal diamond smuggler and knows that the diamond is a ticket out of Africa, away from the cycle of violence and corruption. They enlist the help of Maddy Bowen (Played by Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist out to uncover the truth behind conflict diamonds where diamond leaders choose to make profit with the price of sacrificing such large numbers of human lives.

This movie is more than your normal $8.50 action packed movie. This movie as I said earlier on really hits the nerve. While the girls in our lives are so lucky to receieve diamond rings and necklaces. Little do we really want to know how do these diamonds actually come about. It's a movie based on a true scenario where a country was emboiled in a bloody civil war. In fact it is more than a movie. It's a story bout human sacrifices (so that we can get our precious gems), how millions of people have their lives and limbs taken away from them, their families torn apart...

Though the story of Danny Archer may not be true. Yet the story of real life people having been captured and force to mine diamonds to meet our supply. Fathers taken to the mines, sons kidnapped to be child soldiers, mothers and daughters raped and murdered.

The real fighting. The real bloodshed. It's as true as its going to be.

Here I am complaning about how my mom is always being so fucking naggy about every little thing. How she is trying to control my life and not giving me enough freedom to choose what I want to do. At least I have the freedom to live...
These people. They don't even have the freedom to choose. With their countries in constant chaos, staying behind means almost certain death.

Really, no matter how hard our lives are. At least we have a roof over our heads (At least most of us do), clothes on our back, food to eat... How can these people do what they do against their own people? Imagine. You are a farmer just barely able to support your family yet you make the most of things. Suddenly one day without warning, rebels storm your village. They amputate your fellow villagers for the fun of it, they forced you onto a truck to mine conflict diamonds, they grab your son and brainwash them to be child soldiers, some of your villages daughters and wives get raped and murdered while yours barely makes it out alive. Hiding in the bushes. JUST IMAGINE!

If these rebels aren't bad enough. The government is possibly filled with corruption, and/or are weak. Those that seek these conflict diamonds don't even give a fuck bout those innocent people. So as long as the world continues to buy diamonds, they don't give a fuck if it has costs millions of lives. They just want to make sure they earn profits to lavish themselves.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well girls... choose your best friends wisely. You don't want to have a best friend who is a product from someone else's blood and suffering.

"The world is falling apart and all people care about is the president getting a blowjob..."

They say that

"A person will only find true happiness once they found themselves..."

Ok fine... I made that up...

Now now... How many of you naive people actually believed that?

Ok anyhow. Lets get straight with it shall we?

I'm gonna be frank with you. I'm not the kind of person to share the most personal part of my life. In fact, I have only shared it with my buddy JH (Josh). Even people within my inner circle only know bits and pieces of my life.

HOWEVER!

Since you have decided to play this game with me... I will play it with you.

GAME TITLE: TRUTH

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2

INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) THERE ARE NO RULES. JUST SAY IT AS IT IS.

(2) ONLY THE TRUTH CAN BE PLAYED IN THIS GAME

(3) THE WINNER WILL BE DECIDED BY THE PUBLIC

Alright lets play.

Dear Jen,

When I first met you. I thought you were special. I thought you were one of a kind. I felt that you were beautiful on the outside BUT absoultely HEAVEN on the inside.

And when we were together. I do admit we had one hell of a relationship. All 1.5 years of that. There were happy moments, sad moments, and moments when time could just stop and only you was all I see. But that was it.

It's over. You dumped me for someone who is supposedly my good friend. Wait in fact, I do believe you were seeing him behind my back and would have been a fool had I not seen the both of you.

You did leave me broken hearted and full of hatred, anger and disappointment. But I grew up from that and moved on. I could not have been any happier hanging out with my buddies.

Then you came back... Though still with him, you still told me that you loved me all along and made a mistake. And that you want me back coz you finally realize that I was the one who treated to you well. That's what you told me, your friends and your enemies.

I said no. You persisted. You cried and beg but I still said no. You continued. I tolerated. But even the most tolerant person can tolerate it no more.

You used to tell everyone I was a flirt. I treated you poorly. That's why we broke up. Now you realize you made a mistake. Why can't we be friends? Simple. (1) I'm not the kind of guy who still remains friends (2) I'm not the kind of guy who would even want to be friends with the person who dumped me (3) We were never friends to begin with.

Now you tell everyone how well I treated you. How much you would like us to be together once again. How much you try to talk to me yet I refuse. You wish to meet me but I couldn't be bothered. You bought me a present but I did not want to accept it. AND the best part? You said I should not hang out with JH coz you think he's bad influence on me and you were just watching out for me. And you have never even met him b4. AND JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE ME HANGING OUT WITH HIM AT MARINA SQUARE DOESN'T EQUADE TO YOU MEETING HIM.

Well guess what Jen. I love the life that I'm living now. I currently have a girl that I truly like whole-heartedly. I love hanging out with my buddy JH. I love hanging out with my other friends too. And guess what's the best part of it? I'm loving the life that I'm living now without you in it.

Don't try and judge me or my friends. Coz you don't have the right to do so. You forfeited that right long ago when you decided to two time me with that guy.

You really are a hypocrite and you know it. You don't talk thrash bout me nor my friends and then try and tell me that you still love me. I may be a fool 1.5 years ago. But I ain't no fool now.

Don't be childish. Grow up. I no longer have any feelings for you and neither will I ever again have any feelings for you. I repeat. NEVER EVER AGAIN. So you can stop telling all your friends that we still have a chance coz we don't. I never wanted to say anything with regards to what happen between us coz I'm not that kind of person. But this time, you left me with no choice.

Leave me alone. Leave my buddy alone. Leave my friends alone. AND LEAVE MY LIFE to someone else who deserves it better.

I'm doing damn fine without you. And trust me.. my mind is fixed. So just give it up and move on.

And finally, let me wish you all the best coz you will really need it.

So long. And good bye... PERMANENTLY GOODBYE.

P.S And just to let you know... I don't give a flying cow what your friends say bout me coz really, we both know what really happened. ___________________________________________________________________

And so I don't have to explain in detail what really happened coz there isn't a point to do so. BUT if you must know. You know where to find me. Ask me and I'll tell you what really happened. EVERY DETAIL.

____________________________________________________________________

Alright. To be fair to people who have been trying to figure out what and who I've been hanging out with...Here goes...

This kid here. He's Jiahao (a.k.a JH or Josh) and he's pretty much my newly adopted "brother".

A true buddy. The only person who I'll tell everything to.
