On Destroying Homes

I watched a Korean movie this noon entitled "Miracle on 1st Street" and I found the story heart warming. Miracle on 1st Street is a drama comedy about gangsters who trying to scare people to move out from their property so the can clear out the area to make way for corporate construction. Pil Je (Lim Chang Jung) is a gangster who tries to scare people in the neighborhood. But Myeong Ran (Ha Ji Won) isn’t scared with Pil Je. She fights back and gives Pil Je something to think about. But as he gets to know her and the locals more, Pil Je senses himself changing, changing enough for a miracle to happen? It is sweet how Pil Je stood up for the poor people and helped in defending the street kids and the people of the slum area from those who oppressed them. But sadly he was just one man so he couldn't save the whole town.

Watching this movie had made me realize how lucky I truly am for being financially stable. It's sad that there are so many people out there who are less fortunate and had to live in the slums. But living in the slums is not really that bad, what's worst is when they are forced out by rich people so that they could transform the land owned by the poor people to a financially viable and lucrative commercial land.

I know that it's just a movie that I know that there are some truth in how the rich would not hesitate to resort to violence just to claim the land that these poor people legally owned. The movie showed some violent scenes when they forced the poor out of their homes and the rich didn't even give them anything in return for the land (a sort of subsidy). But what really is a tear jerker is when the mothers and children cried as they were helpless to defend themselves as the thugs of the rich destroyed their homes and physically abused the poor.

That's What Real Friends Are

I was really touched by a simple gesture that a friend has made to me. She asked me if I wanted to join them this Friday after their duty to eat some dinner and hang out. So what's the big deal you ask me? Well, it's just that I'm currently not enrolled in summer classes meaning they are not my dutymates anymore. But even after all that I have said they still remember the snobbish little me.

I actually now know that they are truly my friends because some people only come to me when they need help with something or if they need something from me. It is quite rare for people to remember you just because you are a friend and that they miss you.

I'm already starting to miss my friends. It's really so sad being house-arrested. Well I can go out whenever I want but where would I go to? The pineapple field?! I don't have any friends here in our neighborhood because I studied at Cagayan de Oro City during high school so I don't hang out with the people here in my neighborhood.

Oh well, some of my friends are coming over this Friday so I'm really looking forward to it.

Anyone Have Spare Hands?

Boy my hands sure do hurt from all the hard work that I have done lately! I think that I might be having arthritis in my knuckle areas. I wonder if this is a result of all the years that I have made my knuckles make those cracking sounds. You know, the sounds that is created when you crack your knuckles? Boy it sure is hard to explain but you do understand that my knuckles hurt right?

But unfortunately my suffering don't end today. I still have a whole month to sort out my topsy-turvy house but then I'm having some visitors over this Friday so I have to finish cleaning and arranging our things by tomorrow. Oh well, I better sleep early today so that I could start working early tomorrow.
