Freedom Writers

I ran 2+11 rounds today! Along with some training like dips, crunches etc. Horray! And lost 0.5kg, but I gained it back when I ate dinner. Which is like, one fish fillet, one oreo chocolate muffin and watermelon juice. :3 Then went to Jerlyn's church to watch freedom writers. Its a really touching true story based on racism and violence in Long Beach. Hilary Swank acts as a teacher and she told the vice-principal her reason for coming. "I believe that the fighting starts here in the classroom." but it turns out to be exactly that! The situation and the mindsets of the kids there were scary. (Honestly they don't look like they are 14-16.) There's even this guy who hides a gun under his shirt, waiting for a commotion to break out, just so that he can shoot someone. One of the main characters, Eva Benitez, said that ppl were divided into racial cliques, and when one tries to pry in, to invade others' territories, the people can feel that, even when others may not. So yea, tensions were high even in the campus. Then she bought them books they could relate to, like Anne Frank's Diary. She also showed them a video of Freedom Riders in their freedom ride buses, where blacks and whites shared a bus to promote black rights. Even when the bus was bombed and on fire they kept on going. There was this guy who volunteered to get off the bus first, knowing that the angry mob outside will batter him to death. So when these kids compiled their own stories like Anne Frank, they named the book Freedom Writers. Argh its damn nice, you gotta watch it to know what I mean. After that there was no star gazing cuz there were no stars! Could only see citylights. Hais. Can't wait to watch transformers tmr! Even aga said its nice!
