hello!

i just finished watching "The Boys from Baghdad High" on okto and i must say..we are really so fortunate. this documentary is about four iraqi boys living in baghdad, they were given a camera each to keep as a video diary. everyday, they will record whats happening in their neighbourhood, their school life and family...blah blah...and i was just so shocked at what they go through, all the killings, kidnapping, bombs and shootings, it made me reallly sad to see kids younger than me, try so hard to get good grades, who want to celebrate christmas but cant, who wanna go to school and come back safe and sound...and many other things when everywhere else, we are acting like bloody idiots. let me just go straight to the part which really hit me in the face, butt, nose and soul.

there was this part of the programme, one of the boys asked his little cousin, who was about mayb 6 yrs old and the whole family had to come live with them because their neighbourhood was getting too dangerous...he asked her whether she prayed every night and she said yeah....and he asked her what does she pray for and she said that she prays that on every of her birthday, it will be a safe. i was really upset to hear that...it really made me feel useless.....like more loser than i have ever felt in my entire life....i cant believe the times when i've prayed and i thought about world peace in my prayers.....but i have never really thought hard enough to see their faces and this makes me feel bad...

i cant imagine what they are going through right now, but i just hope the situation gets better. i dont know what i can do but after this show, i just wanna pray and pray and pray until god gets tired of me and goes to listen to that little girl's prayers instead. i really pray that the world be a more peaceful place tmr....be strong little girl and everyone else!

and lots of love all around. loves!
