Okay, I've recently discovered a very good band called Cigarettes After Sex (@cigarettesaftersex). They are an ambient pop band as Wikipedia would tell.  This band is literally one of the best bands that I've ever listened to lyrics wise. I love how they put rhythm and melody to seemingly ordinary text. When I listen to them, I'm transported to an entirely different world; dark, romantic and desolate memory of a love that was once was and what it will be in one's memory. Their music is the epitome of someone who has been in love once, broken into pieces, but will never regret the love that was once felt. The emotions of all their songs speaks to me as if it was written by someone whom I have known for so long. If you are the kind of person who loves music because you can relate to the lyrics, specially those melancholic ones, then this band won't disappoint. They have a total of five albums/EPs which is on my repeat playlist. I will link out their playl...

Okay, so I have been introduced to the world of Spotify podcast by my bestfriend/cousin Alma and boy was I hooked haha! I mean this podcast is so chill and very real, 'yung tipong para ka lang nakikinig sa dalawang tropa mong sobrang sabaw minsan haha. Btw, link below is my fave video so far because Pancho and coffee in one haha 😄 At first, I was a bit not so hooked kasi nga I'm more of a music person so yeah, listening to a random conversation was not really something that captured my attention. But on the 2nd episode, I knew I already checked in with this program. Sobrang random kasi ng topics and you know they are both enjoying the show.  I usually listen to it when I'm free and when I'm travelling kasi sometimes when you get so stressed out, you just gotta to listen to all their advises, rants and whatnots and sobrang natatawa ako and I look crazy sometimes, laughing alone but who cares, chill :D And bonus thing is, there's Panchooooo, this cut...

"None of us knows God until someone introduces us." - Piscine Molitor Patel "Pi" in Life of Pi I've just watched this incredible movie Life of Pi which is about one's great and never-ending faith in God. It tells a story of a man who as a young boy has been told that he cannot follow three different religions at the same time because believing in everything at the same time, is the same as not believing in anything at all. He has been told that ' Religion is obscurity and religion is darkness ' and yet he still believed in a greater power; he still believed in God despite all that he has been through. My faith has been renewed and re-energized by watching this movie because it gives us a "concrete" example of God's work in our lives. It focuses on the things that are so often misunderstood regarding one's faith. It tackles the topic of suffering while striving to follow God's path and believing His great plans for...

Who wants to be a DIVERGENT? Put your hands up! I am not a critique, seemingly so expert on all the tit-and-tat of the dystopian genre. I won't be reviewing its plot since many have already pointed out the content of this book and what you can find. My review will solely be on my own feeling on reading this book. This book review is a bit late since I've finished book almost 2 months ago. Well I've been meaning to have this book reviewed but the holiday season caught up and my interviews came pouring so I didn't have the time. Now, I'm free so better that I do my review of this book.First of all, this book is just an accidental read that I had because I was browsing through the goodreads recommended books and hey I saw this goodread choice of the year so I tried. And here's what I think of it. I am not really a fan of dystopian novels and the only series that I've read by far is the Hunger Games. To be honest, the first pages of the book got me conf...

As promised, I’m doing my review on EL James Fifty Shades Trilogy. First up, I want to say that I only read this book because I was so curious as to why people are raving about it that even my friend told me about it. So off I go to discovering what this book had to offer and viola I was left surprised when I found out that it’s not just a single book but a trilogy. I will say that this series is one of those that I wouldn’t recommend to close-minded people mainly because of its mature and sensitive content (all of the three books) but I’ll do recommend this to those who are willing to actually be appreciative enough to understand that these books also have something to offer. I say this because at the first chapters of the first book I was already hesitant to continue given THE overly mature content of it (I even thought I was reading porn for Obama’s sake!) geez. At first I was a skeptic but as I tried harder to go on with this book, I found it rather enlightening in some ways mor...
