Take Me To The Sky

Spent the whole day at GH Mall today. Watched The Housemaid (Sydney Sweeney S U C K S. She has the acting range of a boiled potato. Is she sad? Is she angry? Is she devastated? Is she nervous? Is she happy? WE WOULD NEVER KNOW!!!) I read the book like.. 2 years ago? There were some differences from the book (which I am eternally grateful for!) like how the male character died. There was more pizzazz in the movie! Honestly, I think this is a movie adaptation I preferred more than the book.

By dinner time, we ate at Cafe Kulture with the Encarnacion fam. Tito Nonoy and fam were here for a vacay and they're going back to the states in.. idk. This Friday? Anyway, went out to eat with them! Cafe Kulture has good food which I enjoyed!

Dump for the whole day incomiiiiing:

Had lunch at Planet Pizza. Or is it Pizza Planet? Idk huhuhuhu

I want Geto and Gojo SO BAD huhuhuhu but wasn't able to go back since we met up with the fam!

Maybe in another place, another time

Omg. I finished Shine on Me today! After the very long (almost 1 year!!!!!) cdrama slump - I AM BACK! It was so cute! I love love!!!!! Plus, the plot wasn't drama-heavy so chill chill lang. I can't talaga muna with a heavy plot since the past books I've read were kind of heavy and disturbing (like Creep) haha.

AND HELLO OMG SONG WEILONG??????????? THAT 6-FEET TALL OF GORGEOUSNESS! He is so handsome! So, there was a scene I, the first time I watched it I squealed like a fucking psycho. SOBRANG KILIG OKAY ANG POGI NYA!!!!

This is the optimal height difference for momol HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Lord sobrang pogi nanghihina akooo HAAHHAHAHAH

LORDDDDDDDD

I MEAN?????? LOOK?????? FACE CARD FOR DAYS?????????????????? Pluuuuuus we have the same birthday!!!!! But he was born on 1999 so sometimes it's hard to fantasize and daydream about him because I feel like a cradle robber HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHHAHAHAH

SOBRANG POGI NYA. Lahat ng sinendan ko ng photos nya sinasabi ang gwapo huhuhuhu even my mom na sobrang ibang taste sakin as in ang gwapo daw ni Song Weilong. Hay what a cutie pie chikiting!!!

Anyway, I might start with Love Between Fairy and Devil because my other 2 babies are there (Dylan Wang my OG Chinese bae ++++ Zhang Linghe) HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Also, Background by Seokjin is currently on repeat. This is my favorite solo song of his! As in! What a crooner!

Baby, I just want to go home

Okay, so my reading "slump" is semi-cured. I finished Creep today and gave it 3/5 stars. It was so.. disturbing in the sense that I'm cringing so hard for the protagonist. Like.. "Omg dude wtf whhhhy?" But it was a good read! 

Anyway, after months, and I mean months, of not finishing any kdrama and cdrama (bitch, I was in a slump. I started like 7 different k and cdramas but I found it so hard to commit) I started Shine on Me starring Song Weilong (MY VERY POGI KABIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! But born on 1999. He's so HANDSOME!!!! There were a lot scenes where I was squealing because bitch the face card!!!) and Zhao Jinmai who I loved in Amidst A Snowstorm of Love. So far, it's chill and I'm loving it. I don't want to watch anything heavy right now. It's 36 episodes and I'm just on episode 5 but goooosh can't wait for more Song Weilong scenes GAAAAHHHHHHHH

I'm also updated with JJK season 3 and episode 3 showed Choso's cuteness A LOT HUHUHUHUHU Grabe can I just say ha, Yuta and Choso were already part of my Top 5 faves before season 3 HUHUHUHUHUHU and they're oozing with aura and cuteness these past 3 episodes. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MOOOOOOORE. JJK is also the Top 1 series on Netflix (Philippines) right now.. so it's kinda telling how amazing it is HUHUHUHUHUHU

I'm still worried about where my career is headed but ughhhh what can I do what can I do. Bakit ba kasi hindi ako Kaplan Heiress HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

I know I'm sleeping because this dream's too amazing

 I'm in a reading slump. I've started Babel by R. F. Kuang, tried to finish Creep but ughhhhhh I can't seem to just continue reading.

Maybe it's because I forgot to take my Ritalin for the day? Or because my head aches as fuck because of my colds. But uggghhh I just want to read. Babel is actually very good! I'm only on chapter 3 but it's overflowing with potential to be loved!

Idk. Just a random update I want to air out.

Talk Is Cheap

Okayyyyy I'm 8 books in for this month! My goal is 20 in Goodreads but I kinda want to try reading at least 100 novels this year. So, I'm thinking, 10 books a month is doable and that's my plan - to read at least 10 novels a month. So, at least I'll reach my goal by November. October, even.

AND OMG JJK SZN 3 IS HERE!!!! But the first 2 episodes, I watched already with Jodie in the advanced screening of The Culling Games last month but still I AM SO HAPPY

ALSO, BTS RELEASED THEIR TOUR DATES!!!! 2027 MNL STOP MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! I hope I get to see them. Yoongles my love HUHUHUHUHUHUHU 

Anyyyyway, random photos I took from yesterday and today! I took photos of stuff I found cute.

My current favorite necklaces! I wear it together!

The Reaper has come. And he’s brought hell with him.

Well, this book is.. disappointing. 

Okay, so the first two novels were divine! I loved it so much! But this novel. Boy this novel pissed me off. 

Just going to copy and paste my review from Goodreads:

"Darrow was captured and tortured over and over and over and over again (the first few times it happened in the previous books, it was gripping but to have it happen over and over again just makes the writing seem lazy. UGHHHHHHH) then because of some divine intervention this lucky son of a bitch, who has what it seems like more than 9 lives than that of a cat, gets saved because he was:

1. Able to talk his way out of it  and was convincing enough for his captor to have second thoughts and spare him 

2. Surrounded by friends who are more capable than him 

At some point I started rooting for Octavia and the Jackal because Darrow that stupid bitch was imprisoned - AGAIN. & AGAIN. & AGAIN. It’s the same thing over and over with a slightly different dialogue and different captor. JESUS CHRIST MAKE THE HORRORS STOP.

The first 2 novels were beautiful bordering on sublime, even. But this? It bored and angered the living Jesus out of me."

I could've finished this book yesterday but I was rolling my eyes so hard I had to stop. Okay but I'll give credit where credit is due, the ending with Pax was cute. The softie in me liked it. But it's not enough to salvage my relationship with this novel. And because of this abomination, I honestly wouldn't be reading the 4th novel in the saga. I just.. Jesus, I'm tired. I can't anymore.

It's a very different feeling from A Song of Ice and Fire where I couldn't put my book down and I wanted George R. R. Martin to finish the whole saga and wrap everything together neatly with a bow. Which he won't... I could still remember when I finished reading A Dance with Dragons, it was like.. late 2013 and I was thinking, "Shit I wouldn't be able to read his next novel because I would be in med school by then." Mother eff.. I'm a licensed physician now but still no Winds of Winter. Tbh, I feel like the TV show fucked it so bad George got disappointed and felt like it wouldn't be salvageable. Which sucks because A Song of Ice and Fire WAS a defining moment for our generation! Okay, I didn't watch the show but I read the books so it still counts, right? 

Anyway, the point is - I'm looking for that high. I want that world building and imagination and unexpected twists (will never forget Ned. I WAS ROOTING FOR NED, DAMN IT. And hello Red Wedding?) Those were all surprises! Red Rising saga was good but it never made me react how I reacted while reading A Song of Ice and Fire.

I hope you win Best Actor

Random day todayyyy spent with my mom. I recently discovered this app from Jodie and I've been taking random photos of stuff haha!
