Movie: Seven Sundays (2017)
[ random movie time ] I can’t tell you how many times I cried during this movie, because I think I was crying all throughout the film. Seven Sundays by Star Cinema et al is honestly a well-written, thought-provoking and cathartic piece. I understand why it’s a grade A movie. Even though the three hours away from…

Kracie Food IS CRAZY (and it’s the future!?)
The future is already here. We just don’t know it because the instructions are in Japanese!!! I’m talking about the culinary wonder that is Kracie’s Popin’Cookin’ and Happy Kitchen Sets. You might not have heard of them (I certainly haven’t), but it’s amazing. Since I don’t think I can do the products justice, watch this 6-minute video for some context…

Comic: Lucifer (2000)
I am in love with Lucifer. It’s brilliant, engaging, and I devoured the whole run within twelve hours. Perhaps. Lucifer’s struggles are, unalarmingly, my own, only magnified to cosmic scale. I have a problem with pride, and the asociality that comes with it. I can only bear few people, and they all must be as…

Book: Historical Atlas
I finally got around to perusing my digital copy of the Office of the President of the Philippines’ Historical Atlas of the Republic. Self-described as the first of its kind, the atlas traces the country’s geopolitical landscape through the years, from prehistory to the May Day Rebellion. Though I’ve only read bits and pieces (what I…

Anabella Italian Coffee Price: Not within my actual student budget, but the servings are big Ambiance: Perfect, will come…

and on other words; (an art recs post)
A string of five prose and poetry recommendations, off the top of my head. In no particular order. “My head is bloody, but unbowed.” Invictus by W. E. Henley I first heard of this piece as a quote from another book, and the words sustained me for a very long time. I used to recite the poem…

TBL Book Review: Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Less of a book I’m in love with and more of a constant revelation (that forces me to remain in love), Hamlet is a complex work with copious amounts of intrigue, terror, sword fights and puns. The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between…

TBL Book Review: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
I suppose it provides some insight to this little thing called love: we don’t really know why we love something, we just do. And so Wonderland is enjoyable, even though taken apart it is the furthest thing from wonderful. Overall, it’s not just a little bit mad.

Books: Delta of Venus
At least three people over the weekend have asked me: “What are you reading?” Without a wince, unapologetically and unashamedly I replied: “Porn.” Or perhaps more accurately I should have said erotica. Because that was what it was. Anaïs Nin’s Delta of Venus was a journey into the hot and bothered, into the sexual deviances and discoveries of…
