How to be Single

No, I am not giving here any tips on how to be single. It is the title of the movie released earlier this year starred by Dakota Johnson who played Alice in the movie. After four years of college she broke up with her long-term boyfriend. She thought she needed a break. She worked as a paralegal in a firm where she met Robin, who helped her navigate life in a strange city and taught her to enjoy a single lifestyle. It's not a heart-tugging movie, but I learned something. I realized something. First, my lifestyle is totally far from what was shown in the movie. I do not go clubbing, hooking up with strange men nor getting free drinks. I have so many responsibilities. Well, I realized I have never been truly and totally single. I am always tied up to a relationship whatever form they may be - bf/gf, friendship, family, work. I do not know either if I can be really single. I am so used to having someone to talk to and with especially when I am sick. I badly need someone to take care o...

Review: Jurassic World

Watched this on 4D  and I have no regrets!!! It's worth it, guys! So, while it is still showing on theaters, do buy a ticket and enjoy!!! I love the cinematography, the special effects, but above all, I love the story. The trust formed between the dinosaurs and man. It's impossible to happen in reality, but at least, in the movie, it became possible. This is a sequel of the Jurassic Park, shown 15 years ago.

The story resolved on how to kill this dinosaur. In the beginning, Owen, a caretaker of the raptors, trained the raptors to follow orders. These raptors were put together in one cage. According to Owen, these raptors learned social skills and trust. Owen formed tru...

Today, the Filipinos celebrate the 117th anniversary of the Philippines Independence Day. Thus, no work, no class today. It's a holiday in the Philippines. To know more about it, please click this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(Philippines). Some people chose to spend the holiday at National Museum which gives free admission to everyone who wants to visit the place. It's kinda far from my place, hence I didn't go. Besides, I am not very familiar on how to get around the city. Nevertheless, I've spent the holiday well. I had fun, and I really enjoyed a lot. I felt it's indeed a holiday. Around 7 in the morning, I got my Korean book and read one story. I was a bit disheartened while reading the story. It became apparent to me that my Korean skills are declining. I really want to maintain my level, at least. Well, it means I have to make time, to allot an hour or two a week to study Korean. Then, at 10:30 in the morning, my friend  and I headed t...
