Oct 6 – Yeshua’s Born day | Oct 8 – Rosha’s Born day | Nov 8 – Casper’s free 

I’ve been investing most of the time fangirling certain Kpop idols, specifically, Big Bang and 2NE1. Yes, I know I’m years late, and 2NE1 already disbanded but they were the very first Kpop group I stanned. I just miss them so much and I’m hoping they have a reunion anytime soon. It was just last year when I started liking Kpop. I did a lot of catching up since then. I started watching performances, interviews, vlogs, news, and other stuff related to them. I’ve been scrolling every now and then on Twitter using my fangirling account. I’ve been following and reading alternative universe stories of my OTP. I’m a proud Daragon fan. I really stan Sandara Park and Kwon Jiyong (G-Dragon). Anyway, I’m also starting to know and like other groups apart from YG artists. I become a fan of some of them, but not really a die-hard fan where I’ll spend money on Kpop merchandise, or concert tickets. I’m all good just by watching them over the internet. 

So yea, basically been busy fangirling and with work. Nothing much is going on. Life has been boring. I’ve been working my ass off (working on Saturdays and doing overtime) to earn extra for the coming holiday season since working remotely doesn’t include other benefits such as 13th-month pay and leave credits. Tomorrow is my last day of work, and it will resume on the 6th of January. Such a short break but I really need this. Work has been really stressful. And this season is an absolute headache. I enjoyed Christmas when I was younger, but now, I don’t really care much about it. I kind of hate this expensive time of the year, to be honest. The obligatory gifts, horrible traffic, a different group of kids caroling at the gate/doorstep every now and then, crowds, workloads, all the rush, the pressure and expectation that you have to give something for the kids, or anyone for that matter when sometimes you can’t even buy yourself anything good because you always have to think through if it’s worth it or just has to save the money for your future goals instead, are all too much. And I can’t wait for all of these to be over. How are you? 

Anyway, here is the list of movies/series/books I’ve watched lately.

• Seventeen (Diecisiete) 8/10 – I was looking for something to watch on Netflix when I came across this movie. At first, I thought it was a dog movie, but I was wrong. It was about brotherhood. This was such a heart-warming film. Recommended! 
• The Peanut Butter Falcon 10/10 – I saw the trailer of this movie months ago and I just remembered it and decided to watch it. I’m a sucker for this kind of movie. It has the Captain Fantastic vibe to it which I really liked. I love the adventure and of course, the awareness that they are bringing to the Down syndrome community. It was inspiring and really fun to watch. 
• Tune in for Love 9/10 – I’m a fan of Kim Go-Eun ever since I’ve watched her in the Goblin K-drama series. It was so nice to see her act again. Anyway, Tune in for Love was such a beautiful movie. The characters’ chemistry was perfect. It made me “kilig” tons of times. Must watch! 
• Joker 9/10 – I’m not a fan of DC and I’m not following any of the DC characters’ storylines, so I was glad this movie is standalone. Watching this was too much, to be honest. I now understand how it triggers some people. It was just so deep and so dark that it got me thinking about things. Disturbing, yes, but it was also such an eye-opener. This movie has raised awareness of the mental illness. Anyway, Joaquin Phoenix’s performance was outstanding! 
• Hello World 5/10 – Second anime movie I’ve watched in Cinemas, and also my first time to go to the cinema alone. I gave it a 5 because the movie was so confusing. There’s so much “inception” thing going on and I couldn’t keep up. I had so many questions while watching but I didn’t have someone to ask/talk to since I was alone. The soundtrack and CG were nice, though. 
• Parasite 8/10 – Brilliant storyline. Unpredictable. I was amazed by the plot, really. It was actually funny, but then at the end, it turned to be sad and twisted. Don’t watch the trailer. Just go out and watch it. 
• Hunt for the Wilderpeople 10/10 – I really liked this kind of movie. Loved the adventure. It is immensely entertaining. Genuinely funny. Heart-warming. Had to rewatch it the same day just because. 
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 7/10 – I saw this movie on Netflix. I’ve seen tons of screencaps of this movie on Twitter, and it made me intrigued. A nice science-fiction love story. It was an okay movie, but I just think it was overrated. 
• The Witcher 9/10 – What a cliffhanger! This was a great series, but it was really short. I don’t see why most people compare this to GOT. This is a totally different universe. So yea, highly recommended. Bring on Season Two! 
• Finding Chika – Finally, the bestselling author shares his own true story. Took me a while to finish because I honestly didn’t want it to end. I laughed and cried reading this story. Even had to stop reading in a cafe because it was just too much. Such a beautiful story. Sad yet full of life memoir. Thank you, Mitch, for sharing Chika with us. 

P.S. You can see how shitty the scans of these shots are. Really disappointed.
