This is something I learned about the movie that I've watched last friday in my ENVI LAW class. Its the movie of Al Gore. The famous yet frustrated Al Gore. FYI for those who didn't know him. Al Gore is an Environment Activist who won the popular vote by approximately 500,000 votes, but ultimately lost the election to Republican candidate George W. Bush when the legal controversy over the Florida election recount was eventually settled in the U. S. Supreme Court by a 5–4 margin in favor of Bush. The movie was entitled "An Inconvenient Truth" which also has a book entitled the same. An eye opener for all of us. I guess so. Though it wasn't my first time to watch something like that yet at the end of the movie my brain freezed and suddenly ask the question which Al gore ask on the movie. What really stike me the most is not the devastating situation of the world. I knew that. I've seen the same movie 11th hour who also has almost the same content. What strikes me the most is his explanation on how human's reacted on difficult situation as compare to a frog. he said.."Human are like frogs. When you put a frog into cup of hot water it eventually pump up and reacted for help. While if you put it on a cup of water with a "not so hot" and comfortable water while burning it on a stove he'll do nothing but stay without knowing that heat coming from the stove will later on kill him. And after few seconds here comes the frog worrying about his situation. He will push his luck and pray that he could come out." Funny but true. We all tend to react that way. We just enjoy the moment without thinking that this would make us miserable in few times from now. Just lilke our problem with our environment. wow! I'm speaking now as if I'm an Environmental activist. Well I guess it would be just for me to say this though a lot of people might laugh. We all tend to react like that pitty frog. I wish I could have the same determinitaion that Al gore has. Person to person. Family to family. Group by group. Country to country. We can make change. Let's all change the attitude of a frog. REACT.

my two cents worth..
I started blogging when I was a sophomore college student. It was just a free site offered by friendster. com. that time blogging was not that a thing. It was more of a hobby of releasing your thoughts through those keys. I had so many site but unfortunately most of them got no space already that is why I created this one. This is my own way of sharing my personal views. I'm not a back stabber. I can shout right in front of you if I know that I'm telling the truth and you're juts doing your shit. I'm not patient in waiting but I'm trying to be. I'm hard headed. I fight for what I believe is right but I also knew when to raise my white flag. I don't easily forgive and forget. I value education that is why I hate seeing students cutting their classes just for the sake of enjoying with their friends. I'm not a grade concious nor a role model of the campus. I'm just one of those students whom everyone thought would just make a shit but surprisingly do a hit. You might think I'm bragging but I'm not. I always believe that I'm still the little girl raised in my home town. Little enough to look up but big enough to chase. I still need to search for myself. Make the neccesary adjustment to fit the world and have my own identity. I owe everything to this world. I might look a bratt but I knew when to bow my head and kneel if standing was going difficult. I owe everything not just to my Lord and my parents but for everyone who've hurted, disppointed and made me feel small for those are the reasons why I keep on searching for myself and putting my best forward.
