The Hows Of Us: Crossing All Lines (Moview)

George: “Hindi ka na pwedeng bumalik dito, wala ka ng karapatan. You left, remember?”
Primo: “Pinaalis mo ako. Magkaiba ‘yun!”
George: “Pero umalis ka naman. Now, leave!

-Lines from the movie.

Currently a blockbuster hit with more than 400 million peso gross, another kathniel (Love team consists of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla) romantic drama is hitting all the local and international cinemas.

Directed by one of the most talented directors in the film history of the Philippines, Cathy Garcia-Molina, the movie is one of the most anticipated film of the year.

I’m not gonna raise any points yet, but this will be my first moview of a Filipino film (OPM- Original Pinoy Movie…hahaha you see what I did there? Yaaas!)

Please take this opportunity to discontinue reading if you haven’t watched the film yet, because I’m going to give this review a genuine, bop-to-the-top review. Kindly read at your own risk.

Curious yet? I know, I just watched this yesterday and I think it did me some good thinking, you know?

We All Have That One Ex…

“Don’t end up with a man who sounds like me, who say the things I say, who can make you smile just like I did. End up with someone who will do things that won’t remind you of me.” – Verbal words from my Ex to me.

They said that a love that is in the past, is a love that has to be forgotten, but what if that love was the only thing that keeps reminding you of how much it hurts to find another one again? Well, the famous quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson, “‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” is just a perfect explanation of everything I would want this blog to be understood of.

I’ve heard it from different people, they said it is hard to let go of something that you used to love and cherish; it is hard to let go of that person who made you feel so special and it is hard not to take your hopes up and expect for something better.

Over time, I realized how moving on doesn’t only mean you are over the person but moving on also means that you have forgotten the feeling and the regret you have when you let them go.

We all have that one ex that made us walk through a high bridge or touch the sky even if you look like a fool; that one person who made us feel like we are in a cloud 9 and that the world stops revolving around us when we’re together; that one person who made us eat veggies and home made fries instead of burgers and fries from fast food chains because they just do so and that one person who made us more comfortable watching movies leaning on their shoulders or spending the night over instead of partying with friends because they know that we have an exam coming for the next day.

Crazy Rich Asians Movie: How Crazy? (Moview)

“Perfection comes at a sacrifice.” ― Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians

Asians, what about them? How extravagant could a life of an Asian be?

Kevin Kwan, writer of the novel, Crazy Rich Asians, has yet wowed the whole globe with the film adaptation of his book. The film adaptation is directed by Jon M. Chu and has worked closely with Kevin Kwan. The film has broke some records for being the first Asian film to get a Hollywood premiere in 25 years (Look at that, yeah?) and this might be the best All Asian Cast movie in all the films showcased in Hollywood and in the world. (For me.)

The title says it all, Crazy, Rich and Asians, how hard can that be? Even the review is all crazy, I know, we should be living up for that title because this is the most detailed review I’ve ever made in my life. (C’mon, I’ve got lots of headlines here, people!)

So let’s start the wonderroanne moview (Movie Review), however, by reading this blog, means you are entering both book and film spoilers so, like what I always say, read at your own risk, ‘coz I’m not gonna censor any scenes or lines. I’m gonna put all the cards on the table, y’all.

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: A Movie Review (Moview)

“It’s not like in the movies. It’s better, because it’s real.” ― Jenny Han, To all the boys I’ve loved before.

Last August 17, 2018, Netflix has released the movie version of the book written by Jenny Han entitled To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and every one is taking their last breath, like I would know because I have a lot of opinion about it.

To all the bookworms who’ve read the three book series of TATBILB, this movie is probably your sweet escape to reality after getting lost with the sweet words written in those masterpieces. I mean, right now, the movie is the closest thing you have with the books.

And beware to all the non readers and those who haven’t seen the movie, this is not for you…please read at your own risk… Continue reading “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before: A Movie Review (Moview)”

The Opposites Of Life

You never see wonder until you put remorse on everything.

Like an ice cream, there won’t always be a filling.

Like a tear but never to be shed out of fear.

The strongest we are born, the least torn we grow.

Sadness won’t clear the room, if there is sorrow.

Five Reasons Why Single Girls Overthink

It’s not the status nor the relationship goals girls see on social media, it’s the fact that they are single. In this world full of relationship goals, we should remember there are the ‘singles’ not the boys but the girls who struggle with being alone in life. Yes, we have friends, but at the end of the day, singles will be singles.

So, Here are the top five reasons why girls tend to overthink things especially when they are single.

1. Because I’m on my mid 20s; like everyone my age is either engaged, married or steady with a husband and kids.tumblr_onsqunyisl1r0jkkko1_500

Girls are so much different from boys because most girls are put into pressure ‘if she won’t marry on her 30s, she won’t conceive a child anymore’. They are the ones who will bear a child, and the perfect age for the is on your mid 20s not only scientifically but also financially. It’ll be hard to raise a child if you have it on you mid 30s. I bet you are still working for the child’s school on your 50s which should be your close-to-retirement age already.

And old people say that it is better that you have a child on your 20s for you to be able to balance life, work and yourself. You are young and there’s still number of years to spend before your 30s. If you’re single, it’s a waste of time to sit there and watch ’em couples be happy. Continue reading “Five Reasons Why Single Girls Overthink”
