Sunday Serenity

I stayed for four days in my hometown and I feel happy & peaceful at the same time. I miss the sound of waves, the sea breeze, the clear blue skies, fresh air and the feeling of being barefoot in the sand. I woke up on Sunday early in the morning and went to the seashore, I waited for Mt. Mayon ( a perfect cone-shaped volcano) to show up and I got lucky while reading a book entitled "The Life of Pi" written by Yann Martel.

Bicol 2021

It's been quite a while since I had a vacation and unfortunately there's still a pandemic so it's strictly prohibited to travel and to follow safety protocols. Last week, our family had the chance to visit our hometown. I miss my relatives, the fresh air, the solitude that the nature brings and I'm excited to go out and travel after almost two years of home quarantine.

Before Sunrise Trilogy (1995)

 “But loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. We always make fun of it and stuff. Isn’t everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?” - Before Sunrise, 1995

If there's a movie about young love that I would likely watch over and over, Before Sunrise (1995) is one of it. This movie is about an American who meets a Frenchwoman on a train on his way to Vienna. After long conversations forge a surprising connection between them, he convinces her to get off the train with him and spend the night strolling around the city.

Daily Dose of Chick flicks

Imagine, you're curled up on a couch for a night, scrolling through Netflix, you have your snacks, a girl's night in or even a wine. These past few days, my hopeless romantic self is so hooked up on some romantic comedy films with amazing female leads and I decided to make a list of chick flick movies that will surely make your girl's night in perfect. So without further adieu, here's my list:

In your 20s

I'd like to reminisce my 20 year old self. It was month of July, I had no idea how to celebrate a 20th birthday so I just asked my mom to join me for a simple museum date on which she gladly accepted although at that moment, she had a lot of things to do and quite tired for an errand. I really appreciated her for that. But for me, turning 20 is quite a realization. Our twenties is a weird but transformative stage.

Casita Ysabel

We're still in a middle of this pandemic and I'm still really hoping that everything will be better soon. We still need to stay at home and protect ourselves from the risk of having the virus. But tbh I really miss travelling to other different places and unwind from all the stress. Yesterday, I scrolled through my phone gallery and saw these photos taken during our family vacation in Casita Ysabel, Batangas.

FILMS

Hi reader! I'm just sharing a list of some of my favorite interesting films. Most of these films are mind blowing or compelling to watch. Enjoy reading!

After Hours (1985) dir. Martin Scorsese -This film is an entertaining masterpiece. The story tells about an ordinary word processor named Paul Hackett who experienced a series of misadventures after he agrees to visit a strange girl in Soho whom he met that evening at a coffee shop. I love this retro film and its retro feels. I always like to watch dark comedies because there's something interesting when a protagonists faces a lot of problems during the entire story but it gets lighter when things are getting funny. This film also brings the perfect of endings. I can say that this movie is underrated and deserve to be watched. It is a mixture of lunacy, bizarre, turmoil and dread. I'll give it a 5 Stars!
