O mi god. You people have to watch Angelina Jolie's exclusive interview on CNN, Angelina Jolie's Mission and Motherhood. She was interviewed by the famous CNN journalist, Andy Cooper. They conversed about the tragic situation in Congo wherein everyday abuses take place. Initially, i had no interest in watching her interview since i thought it would be just another hollywood stunt but what really caught my attention's the glum faces of hundreds of malnourished children who don't have a home, food, and worse, a family. There're even thousands of women who were raped repeatedly 24/7. I even remember a woman saying that she was shot in between her legs after being gang raped by 18 congolese soldiers. Extremely horrible and disgusting. Who in his right mind would do such animalistic act?

I really admire the strength of the african root because despite the congolese war, the casualties, and the genocide in their country, they still have such unwavering spirits; singing songs to comfort each other, and eyes with a glint of hope. "We will not be broken, we will not be broken" Hearing these words, a tear fell. I couldn't fathom why i wasn't aware about this, and i hate it when some people are aware but they just sit back and do nothing. History repeats itself and i don't want hitler's holocaust to happen again. Not in my time. This is why i took a lil time out of my heavy workloads to blog about the congolese war, hoping that this situation happening right now in Congo would ignite some compassion, and warmth of heart in you.

Classes would stir again in 2days and here i am, a bit dismayed because my mini summer is over. I wanna study some fashion courses in New York or Los Angeles. I really hope my tita could help me get my visa in 2 years time for this. A pal of mine has been asking me to follow her in LA after graduation, easy to say but always hard to do, though i'm considering it. Maybe in a few years time. Maybe when i've seen Pat already. I dunno. I dunno what will become of me in a year time. It's still too early to say but nonetheless, it's my vision.

I'm currently loving the photography of Jenna Genio, you guys should check it out.

Cheers,
