PILLOW CASES

Netflix released a newly produced movie this August entitled To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. I was hesitant to watch it at first because I was a little disappointed with Netflix-produced movies. Hindi ko masyadong nagustuhan iyong Kissing Booth and sabi ng best friend ko hindi rin ganun kaganda iyong isa pang movie nila – Set It Up. I did not expect much from this current release and I end up watching it because I was bored but here I am. I have already watched the movie repeatedly like it was on the loop. I am watching it as I write this post. Ganun ako nabaliw sa movie na ito. Image Source: https://tvtropes.org Here are my ten cents about the movie. Spoilers alert ! 1. Lara Jean Song Covey She is the main protagonist and heroine of this film. She is a sixteen-year-old teenager who goes into a public school and spends most of her time with her sisters and dad. Her mom died when she was little, and she was left under the care of her eldest sister an...

I’m back to being unemployed. After more than a decade of working it was a breath of fresh air for me. Imagine? Hindi na ako nagmamadali sa umaga. Hindi na ako kailangang makipagdigma sa MRT. Hindi na kailangang bumiyahe kahit bumabaha at bumabagyo. Hindi na kailangan makipag-marathon para maabutan lang ang grace period sa biometrics. Chill na lang. Kumain at magkape sa oras na trip mo. Magpalit ng routine every day. Hindi na rin kailangan maligo every day! (Yuck!) Hindi na kailangan mamroblema kung anong susuotin or kung bad hair day ka ba. Buhay Tambay Freedom! Well, masarap sa umpisa. Masarap kung suportado ka ng parents mo at okey lang sa kanila na pakainin ka, patirahin ka, at bigyan ka ulit ng allowance. Masarap kung single ka at walang binubuhay na pamilya. Masarap kapag marami kang ipon. Masarap din kung nakapangasawa ka ng mayaman at sustentado na lahat ng pangangailangan mo. Pero kapag bumilang na ng buwan ang pagiging unemplo...

We are now halfway through August and if I am not mistaken, the next LET exams would be scheduled this September. Kinakabahan ka na ba? Dapat lang. Kasama iyan sa excitement ng LET journey mo. Hindi ka nag-iisa. Lahat ng mga sumubok mag-LET pinagdaanan ang pinagdadaanan mo ngayon. Kapit lang, Bes! Kaya iyan. Yes, you can! From a former LET taker and a LET passer, allow me to share some tips in reviewing for LET. 1. Extra Effort Na, Bes! Kung noong July ay tatamad-tamad at pasilip-silip ka lang sa reviewer mo, I suggest na mag-double time ka na ngayon. Mas titindi ang pressure mo kapag tumuntong na ang kalendaryo sa September. Kaya hatiin mo na ang natitirang araw ng August para sa review time mo. Kung dati ay isa or dalawang oras lang per day, mas maganda kung dodoblehin mo na. 2. Mangoleksyon na ng reviewers. Kung nagre-review center ka, I’m sure may mga reviewers na provided ang review center mo for you. Kasama naman kasi iyon sa b...

Ten years after the first Mamma Mia movie premiered into theaters, the same cast and ensemble once again bring back to life the timeless hits of ABBA in a musical movie dubbed as Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!  Image Source: https://upload.wikimedia.org Here are the 10 things I loved about this 2018 film: ( SPOILERS AHEAD! If you haven’t watched the movie, you may want to reconsider before reading on.) 1. Prequel and sequel in one The film is both a prequel and a sequel in one. The story picks up from where we left off back in 2008. Sophie is now back in Greece to transform her mother’s little inn into a hotel renaming it as Hotel Bella Donna, adding the name of her mom as a tribute. Brings back the stellar cast of Mamma Mia 2008.  Image Source: http://popcrush.com Sadly, it is revealed early in the film that Donna’s character played by Meryl Streep have already died a year ago and that Sophie is s...
