1. Yes, just not at all times.

2. YES

3. Yeah. My enemy is myself sometimes.

4. Maybe someday. But not yet today.

Is he kind? Can I tell him everything in my heart? Does he help me become the best version of myself? Can I imagine him as the father of my children?

In the end, fate and timing… do not just happen by coincidence. They are the products of countless earnest choices that make up miraculous moments. Giving up and making decisions without reservation or hesitation… That is what makes timing. He wanted her more than I did.

REPLY 1988: EPISODE ONE - HAND IN HAND In some ways, one's family is the most oblivious. But… what's so important about knowing? In the end, what helps you overcome obstacles isn't brains but someone who'll take your hand and won't let you go. In the end, that's family. Even for heroes, the people they go back to in the end is family. The scars we receive from the outside world, the scars we receive from life experiences. Even the scars that we receive from family. The people who will hold you and stand by you until the end… in the end, it's family.

REPLY 1988 : EPISODE TWO - THE ONE THING YOU'RE MISTAKEN ABOUT ME Adults feel pain, too.  It’s just that adults keep it bottled up. They were just busy being adults, and they just acted strong due to the pressure that came with their age. An adult-like child is just one without complaints. It’s just that they’ve acclimated to the world of adults, and they’ve grown used to the illusions around them. An adult-like child is just that, a child.

Who asked whom out on the first date? Well, it was...

Just natural. It happened so slowly without either of us realizing it.

Watched this with my pamangkins sa bahay nila tito Sammy and tita Agnes. Ang cute nga kasi tinatakot lang nila sarili nila hahaha. First horror filipino film ko rin ata for this year so, not bad. Mas na-enjoy ko lang din siguro kasi I’m with them.

My very first Filipino movie, and it's horror at that. This touch on the famous Filipino superstition of Pagpag, which is "an act of dusting off oneself after a funeral to avoid being followed home by evil spirits".

Plot is pretty predictable as all horror movie goes, where if you fuck around, you find out kinda deal. CG was a little campy at best, but the make up design of the ghost itself was pretty impressive. I have listened to quite a number of Filipino tales of people where if an evil spirit follows someone, you would be seen as a headless person and the best thing to do is to burn off the clothes that you wear on that day or something. I was kinda expecting that part of the superstition to be portrayed here in this movie, but oh well, every director can interpret their stories their way.

Overall, not too bad of a movie. I'd give it:

I’ve watched Lolo and the Kid, The Forge, and Replacing Chico (series) on netflix. I’m having anxiety so I can’t write any further. Maybe I’ll rate 8/10 for everything.

P.S.

Subscribed to netflix yesterday with ate Gef’s assistance. Thank You Lord at sobrang convenient and mabilis lang.

Medyo off lang yung Nyebe as a closing song

The biggest takeaway of Green Bones is a reminder that good and evil is not—and will never be—binary.

Too often we think of people as either completely good or completely evil, failing to realize that as human beings, we are capable of both.

And oftentimes, we are both.

That there is always the nuance that goodness and evilness is not inherent in us, but is oftentimes forced from us because of the circumstances that are not in our control.

What is important is what is in our control: our choices. And what makes a person good or evil is how we own up to the consequences of these choices.

And most importantly, this nuance of good and evil not being binary extends not only to our choices, but also in the greater systems of society that we are all a part of.

Because oftentimes, we are caught in the binary notions of systemic injustice that we tend to unfairly generalize:

“Criminals did bad things, therefore all criminals are evil.”

“The police system is corrupt, therefore all of the police force are evil.”

What Green Bones reminds us more than anything is the reason why we must always, always fight against these systems of injustice is because there are good people in it.

On all sides.

And that the victims of these systems come from all sides of the system too. And they all deserve to be protected. To be fought for.

To live.

It’s a reminder to always remember that at the heart of it all is a human being struggling every day, battling every day, to make the right choice.

5/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First, photo is not mine. It’s cinema bravo’s

Movie title: un/happy for you

Mary sayssss,

Gosh!!! This movie hurts, kasi totoong nangyayari ‘to in real life. What’s scary for me is, no matter how much you love a person, there will come a time na susukuan mo din pala sila. Which is you never see coming when you love someone so much. So, tama si Zy, kung nasaktan si Juancho, siya din. It’s not easy to give up on someone you love so much.

All while, it’s not wrong to choose yourself. Pero never magiging tama padin magcheat, so Zy, very wrong ka dun. Sana di nalang siya nag cheat kay Matt.

This story is like same same but different from Starting Over Again nina Toni and Piolo. Pero as I’ve said this kind of story can happen with anyone. That’s why it’s good, madaming makakarelate, and madaming matututunan. I’ll give it, 6/10. 🫰

*My rate is just based sa trip KO na movies or stories, and feels at the moment. Factor din kasama ko manuod, if I can relate ba or knows someone who can relate. Or nagustuhan ko yung soundtrack, and etc. Basta, this is just me. Haha. 😉 *

Lucky are those people who got their needed closure like Zy and Juancho. Hope you guys find the love you’ll never need closure from. Eyyy-men

Goodnight,

Mary ✨

You need to wake up and get up. You'll have to figure things out yourself, you can't keep abandoning yourself and chase a person. You can't help someone while ruining yourself. Someone needs to end it, you need to end it. But never forget to communicate with the person before you do.
