(14JUN25) It’s been ages since I’ve done a film or a TV series review! Though, this film that I recently watched over the weekend (literally the day after landing in London) has been very dear to me as it’s starred by Sydney Sweeney.♡ This is the first film of hers that I’ve got hooked on their whole press journey and let alone, they even stretched it here in the UK but unfortunately, I was travelling when it happened!😔 I know I’m overreacting but I’m still grieving on it until now that I wasn’t able to attend it. In fact, there were other opportunities that I missed which I will share in this entry.

But going back to Sydney, she has been a huge addition to my favorites since I watched her in “Anyone But You”. Currently, this film called “Echo Valley” which she starred with Julianne Moore is a psychological thriller about how far a mother could go for to save her child—the usual summary that these 2 celebrities spill out during their interviews. And indeed, it is eerie, shocking and intense which made me covered my eyes on some scenes—well I won’t fully spoil why but here’s my film critic and a little take of their promotional leg.

My New York Times (pt 2)

More than half a year has passed and my New York trip is still imprinted in my core memory! I miss the food (like NYC pizza!), its mainstreamed tourist destinations and the feeling that I stayed where most American entertainment are filmed and recorded. This is one of the destinations that someone should visit once in a while; but I personally won’t consider to live here and it's for the reason that I might end up fangirling more than working!😂

This is a continuation of my previous blog entry in which I’ll share my full itinerary and tips of how to enjoy a week-trip at the Big Apple! One week is actually not enough to tour this whole state but we managed to cover most of the popular sites by having an early wake up call.

NB: This trip took place in October; All thoughts are of my own. I also added my itinerary links in this blog.

9/10: Something In The Rain

Annyeong! Here's another Kdrama series that I've watched during my quarantine period last April entitled, "Something In The Rain" (Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food). It's a 2018 drama starred by Son Ye jin and Jung Hae-In.
Truth be told, I had moments of having second emotions for this especially after seeing the trailer.In fact, I wouldn't bother to watch this if it really wasn't for SYJ! 😅 Though as usual, some of my friends from the fandom urged me to watch and finish it ('cause I almost gave up after 2 episodes, I'm sorry 🙃) so I did. In conclusion, I find the story beautiful with its real-life events and it will really make you fall in love just like what they said on their promotional events 🖤 Intricate as it seems but there's a subtle reason why they put on an old girl-young guy relationship ;)

There might be negativity as you read along but keep in mind that these are purely my own thoughts (from a solid BinJin fan).

10/10: Crash Landing On You

Disclaimer: All thoughts are of my own.

I hope everyone’s safe in this time of a pandemic! Let us follow the quarantine policies of our country to end the spread of COVID19. It does get boring to be on house arrest for quite a while whereas for me, working in the hospital has been very stressful with a 50:50 chance of getting the strain ;( Understaffed, lack of supplies and the increasing number of affected patients---so please STAY AT HOME.Take the opportunity to rest and may we all pray for better days ✨

Honestly, my whole March hasn't really been good having some travel plans cancelled and other personal issues.Hence, in order to divert myself from such misery, I went 'Netflix and chill' on my break and one of the shows that I end up watching is "Crash Landing On You".

NB:I rarely watch K-dramas as I find it cheesy/'pabebe';

 Majority of my friends and family strongly urged me to see this show and at first, I was disgusted that I vowed not to watch it as it was very mainstream. I just even asked for the full plot-all spoilers which I found interesting. So once upon a miserable day, I gave in to watch the series---and they have captured my heart. ;p

(040218) "Will you be my WITNESS?"

I have never thought that I will STILL have the chance to watch Katy Perry inspite my very busy schedule ('career burnouts' perhaps); In fact, I was quite decided that I might really miss her concert this time 'cause I honestly couldn't afford the tickets even if i can save money for it after being on sale 5 months ago(yep,buying concert tickets on the first day is not my thing. I usually buy when it's about to be sold out!Haha!). I even slashed my idea of trying to get an M&G pass 'cause I'm losing my chances of purchasing a ticket.I joined several online contests as well but it brought me no luck. ;( Yet, coincidentally my day off from work landed on a Monday (April 2nd) since I was assigned to work during the Lenten holidays. So that whole time got me thinking: "should I go to her concert?"
Pardon me for a long foreword before I tell about the entire concert.This just means so much to me that in my language, it was 'biglaan at its finest'.Haha! Anyway, I already have my own duties on that day and none of it was to go to the concert. But apparently that time, I was scrolling for updates on the KatyCats' group until I saw people selling their tickets for a very cheap price!

I even posted my thoughts on Twitter that moment as I felt sick of having second thoughts of going to the event. However, I couldn't bring myself to pack my gym stuff anymore so my decision: I CANNOT MISS THIS CONCERT. To my mind, it'll be another 3yrs before she comes back here again so I'd go for it and tried to bargain the ticket.(nope,i didn't take that 7K offer.I bought it from someone else and I settled for a lowerbox A seat).I took the risk of commuting from my hometown to Mall of Asia for the first time alone and when I got there to meet the seller, I was shookt when he suddenly said "Miss,VIP nalang tong kunin mo ha" and from there I was somewhat out of my mind,I had another second thought that this might be a scam or something--but it's NOT!as in,oh my gosh...I'm gonna see Katy up front!!

I was so close from crying as it happened too fast; rather,medyo nawala lang ako sa sarili.Haha I'm not prepared!! But definitely,I have to enjoy this opportunity and thus,here we go with the concert proper! ;D

Prismatic World Tour Manila!!

ahh yesss!touchdown Philippine Arena! And it was just a 45-minute shuttle ride from Trinoma.The area was certainly huge as it was filled with several booths of Katy Perry merchandise (which I will discuss later) and food stalls.

Greysessed duties for "Fifty Shades of Grey"

Yesss after 3 years of waiting,one of my fav novels made it to the big screen!! Well I got to admit that I had a break from being Greysessed for years since I got hooked on the Crossfire series; But I still have a big big heart for my dear Christian Grey.❤️ Going back to last year when the trailer came out,I was so excited that I cannot contain my feels anymore---like I needed an emergency flight to America if this won't be shown in the Philippines (yet thankfully,it did). So yeah, I watched it twice because I couldn't wait any longer for the blockscreening last Feb.15.Hahaha! That's why I first watched it on the second day of premiere last Feb. 12.I watched it with my mom who wasn't really aware of the erotic story and I can't believe she liked it at the end!In fact she's more obsessed than I am now as she watched it thrice and reads the books.See how Christian Grey's impact goes for the women...sigh ❤️

(072614) Vios Cup Race 2!

Me and my family spent the weekend at Clark, Pampanga where we watched the Vios Cup Race 2 at Clark Speedway. It was my first time to watch a race car competition and I never thought this would be fun! Although what makes it more fun was that my favorite is part of the race!Haha :) But I really do enjoyed the event even if I'm not a fan of cars.Yet I'm quite familiar with the Vios as I've been attending several Toyota events since last year.

the CREW-ventures! (Dec.10-14)

ONE OF THE BEST WEEKS EVER.

We had our Nursing Week last week where i get to go on business in school.Yes,I was happily able to sell my accessories and button pins there and it was crazy! :D i never thought that the HS/GS students would go loco on my 1D button pins.haha :)) and aside from that,i also sold style watches, earrings, necklaces and homemade bracelets. It all went for a good cause ;)

Besides nursing week in school was our 'crew-ventures' with my awesome friends. After a month-long of fucked-up sched,I guess we took this week to have a winding for ourselves as well. So here goes our activities:

12/10.we went to UP Techno Hub for sightseeing and dinner.
12/11. I went to Correctional,Mandaluyong for gift-giving while the others at Welfareville for health teaching in the morning. I wasn't able to take a pic at Correctional because it was prohibited since it's a jailhouse for women. Then in the afternoon,me and my friends went at Subspace Coffee. ohh i just adore the purple ambiance there especially now that the cafe's full of hanging teddy bears in the ceilings! ;D

12/12. it's 12-12-12 and we've no plans on that day! #REST
