The Longest "Eight Seconds"

I have never experienced “eight seconds” that long. According to the diver and guide, it was eight seconds, but I did not believe it. Let’s go back to how it began. We were privileged to visit this isolated resort called Dagatan Sifai in Bucas Grande, Socorro, Surigao del Norte. It’s so isolated that there’s no Wi-Fi or service for calls and texts. Our time here began really slow and there was…

In My Mother's Skin (2023)

The film everyone will compare In My Mother’s Skin to is Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth. From the child protagonist to the wartime setting, the fairytale characters that turn out to be more sinister than at first glance, the sick mother a young girl has to care for, they have A LOT in common in content and tone. That’s pretty good company to keep.

In 1945, in the Philippines, World War II is coming to an end. The occupying Japanese soldiers know it. Though many of their neighbors haven’t been as lucky, Aldo (Arnold Reyes), his wife (Beauty Gonzalez) and their two children, Tala (Felicity Kyle Napuli) and Bayani (James Mavie Estrella) have managed to remain relatively unscathed through the conflict. As the soldiers become more nervous, the rumours that Aldo’s home contains a stash of stolen gold forces him to leave the family behind. When her mother suddenly becomes ill, Tala must take care of her. In the nearby forest, the young girl meets a fairy, who promises to help.

Though it’s being distributed by Amazon, this is a Filipino film. The folklore it's portraying will feel new to most viewers. The fairy, for instance, isn’t tiny and winged. She’s a full-grown woman wearing an elaborate dress and head piece covered in glittering jewels that evokes insect wings. Though that description doesn’t match what you had in mind when you read the synopsis, you immediately recognize her as a magical creature and Jasmine Curtis-Smith’s performance lets you know right away she’s not to be trusted. Tala knows this. Unfortunately, she has no choice but to accept the creature's help. Laura's mother is sure to die if nothing changes. Things going horribly if Tala accepts the fairy's offer is not necessarily a guarantee. Her father is gone. Tala is certain he'll return soon. You’re not so sure. There’s the housekeeper (Angeli Bayani) there to help, but a part of you wonders if she’s really committed to the family, or if she’s been sticking around because there’s nowhere else to go. Maybe she's hoping to get wind of that rumoured gold. The young girl truly feels alone.

This is a harsh film that doesn’t hold back. Sympathetic characters suddenly become villains. Lives end violently and without warning. The people who aren’t desperate are too consumed by the thought of gold to pull back their punches - children or no children. It’s hard to tell who are worse: the people or the magical creatures with a taste for human flesh. At least the fairy lets you know right away she’s sinister. The betrayals in this story cut deep and everything feels even more impactful because the people in it are so vulnerable.

The one thing holding me back from giving In My Mother’s Skin a higher grade is its similarity to Pan’s Labyrinth. If someone told me they could only watch one, there's no contest. This also means the picture is not quite as memorable, unpredictable, or impactful as it could be. I’m not saying the two films are the same. You could definitely watch both in quick succession without feeling like you’re watching the same movie again. We haven’t seen so many of these grim fairy tale stories that there isn’t room for more - in fact, “In My Mother’s Skin” proves we should be getting them more frequently - but one is just better than the other. That's more of a praise for the Del Toro picture than a criticism for In My Mother's Skin - which leans more into the horror direction and showcases a lot of gore. It's an unsettling tale that showcases a unique folklore and some strong performances from the child actors. (November 30, 2023)

El Nido: A Heaven on Earth

During the summer of 2022, I was finally able to travel with my closest friends for the first time to one of the most beautiful places in the country (and in the world), home to stunning lagoons, white-sand beaches, glasslike waters, and towering limestone rock formations—EL NIDO, Palawan.

Our trip to El Nido wasn't as convenient as it might have seemed. It wasn't the usual trip I had expected.

Days before our flight, a strong typhoon hit our region, which caused a huge landslide on the highway in Brgy. Palarao, Leyte, Leyte. It totally blocked the road, and not even a single motorcycle could pass. Our travel day came, and it was still not passable. Yes, this trip almost didn't happen. But we were determined. With a bit of luck and a lot of persistence, we decided to go for it, even if it meant scrambling over the landslide area just to reach Ormoc City. It was indeed a terrifying and risky experience—I only told my parents about it after our entire trip, haha.

Thank God (and those who helped us) we were able to reach Ormoc safely and catch our 6 a.m. trip to Cebu, ensuring we made it to the airport without any delays.

After what felt like an eternity, we finally arrived in El Nido. The moment we set eyes on the beautiful beaches, the clear waters, and the towering limestone rock formations, we knew it was all worth it. El Nido is a place beyond words—a heaven on Earth.

We checked in at Novie’s Tourist Inn, a cozy and affordable accommodation that offered more than just a place to sleep, with free breakfasts too.

The highlight of our trip was the island-hopping tour we booked with Dagatan Travel and Tours. Big thanks to our friend Eloiza for organizing everything so seamlessly. Each island we visited was more beautiful than the last. From hidden lagoons to secret beaches, we explored the very best that El Nido had to offer. The tour even included free lunch buffets with plenty of food choices, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We were also able to experience another side of El Nido—its vibrant night life. We enjoyed the lively ambiance, sipping on frozen margaritas and getting tipsy. It was the perfect way to unwind and celebrate the beauty of the day we had just experienced.

One thing I learned from this trip is the importance of taking breaks while traveling. We packed our schedule with nonstop tours, which, while exciting, was incredibly draining. By the end of it, we were exhausted. Looking back, I realized the value of reserving a day between tours just to rest and recharge. It’s a lesson that will stay with me for all future travels.

Overall, this entire trip was one for the books. El Nido is a must!
