In Memory Of…
There are a few people that I really admire. Most because of their courage like Christiane Amanpour, Jessica Soho? (Yes, she went to Afghanistan to cover those land mines. Winner ka!) Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran. These people have one thing in common - they risks everything so people like us would know what is really happening…
Have you seen the award-winning film “The Killing Fields”, OMG! Everytime I would see this film I would burst into tears… Ah the film is about harrowing tales of enslavement and even escape from that brutal Khmer Rouge revolutionaries in 1979. - Was portrayed in the movie by first-time actor Haing S. Ngor (Dith Pran), who won an academy award for best supporting actor for his performance. (Eh hello! Dambahin mo ba naman si Sydney ng muli kayong magkita? Winner!!!)
Dith Pran will always remind me of a special category of journalistic heroism… Who shares little of the glory and who risks so much more than I/YOU do.
In his memory I will be watching Killing Fields later tonight… May your soul rest in peace Dith Pran.
LOVE and PEACE!

Hello,
Your admiration for Dith Pran is wonderful but perhaps it would be better to watch a funny or romantic movie instead of looking at the Killing Fields again?
That is a very intense film and does bring up some strong emotions in many people. I was watching a film about the conquest (by the spanish) of the Aztec empire. I had to stop looking at it because it was so disturbing and violent. Maybe when i am feeling a little stronger i will be able to get through the whole movie.
Please take ‘great’ care of yourself.
