Bonjour!
I'm here with a secret springs postcard ask!
Dave sent this, said something about being careful with the spicy wasabi? I'm guessing it's an inside joke from one of your date nights.
Tumblr media
My question is: please tell me about Dave on vacation.
Love, El
hi el <3
this is hilarious hahahah, thank you!
if only i had written an entire series about dave on vacation… oh wait i did!!
dave is chronically stressed and in desperate need of a break. he likes to chill, likes to lounge by the pool or the ocean, likes to… massage sunscreen into your skin, and if his hands slip a little lower than they should, well… 😏 he also gets you a steady supply of cocktails, ice cream, everything that your heart might desire really, and it all tastes even better when you get to share it, right?
i’m also thinking about him on vacation with his girls and building sandcastles, teaching them to swim and stuff but i can’t get into that because then i’ll cry :)

DAY FOUR: 25 SEP, BANGKOK, DRIZZLY
did more shopping around Siam Square
took pics at a photobooth
tried pad thai and a cheesecake shaped like cheese
climbed to the top floor terrace of ICONSIAM for a ✨view✨
visited ASIATIQUE
indulged in the biggest seafood feast
MISSION CLEARED!
NOW CALCULATING REWARDS...
finally!!! it’s the last post of my bangkok adventures!!! ◉‿◉
tbh the last day wasn’t too exciting in terms of activities bc it was just mainly shopping and eating?? and ticking more stuff off our itinerary that we missed the previous days
Tumblr media
we decided to forgo the free hotel breakfast and head to a cafe (Cassette Coffee Bar at Siam Square) instead for a light breakfast
i think we came quite early bc there was no one else at the cafe so we had the whole place to ourselves for picsss yey
the inside of the cafe resembled a cross between a bar and a hotel lobby?? with the retro decor, all-pink interior, and dim warm lighting 
the whole place was just giving ✨aesthetic✨ vibes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i ordered the iced yuzu honey lemon and it was a very refreshing drink~ just a little bit tart the way i like it
tried a bite of the thai tea cake (recommended!! fragrant and not too sweet) and brownie (basic but nice)
Tumblr media
SPOTTED A FAKE LIFT
Tumblr media
this was my attempt at taking a srs ootd pic
Tumblr media
a rotating door!! so cool
Tumblr media
after our breakfast we walked around the area and did more shopping~~~ it started drizzling yikes
there was a long stretch of clothing stalls and i bought a black floral midi skirt from one of the stalls
bc it was raining a little and i was afraid that the maxi skirt i was wearing would become a victim to dirty puddles, i changed into the black skirt that i just bought lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we went into the mall to escape from the rain and found the GENTLEWOMAN store!! O:
most of the clothing pieces were not rly my style bUT a colourful, pastel-y top and a pair of light brown shorts with a smol embroidered flower caught my eye and i just had to try them on as a set
i was right!! it was definitely a cute fit ✨
unfortunately for my broke ass (with no youtrip card on hand too) i decided to only go with the top bc the shorts were the same price as the top but it was more basic-looking?? thought that maybe i could find something similar online or something
− 67SGD 💸💸💸
Tumblr media
じゃーん ✩
even though the paper bag i got wasn’t the iconic black and white version i’m still keeping it for memoriessss
Tumblr media
went to a bbt place to chill for a bit and found this trapped rock... looked like a museum exhibit or something but it’s actually a chair
Tumblr media
a shoe shop named shu lmaoo if i had moneys i would get something from there for the memes (ok but the shoes were actually quite nice and trendy)
Tumblr media
checked out peylaa which sold a bunch of random items at an inexpensive price (a bit like miniso)
got my mini wooden fork from there~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we also took pics at a photobooth!! it was super cheap?? but it was so chaotic and only the first pic turned out ok
there was only a five second counter between the shots and we didn’t have enough time to prepare for the subsequent pics bc we thought that we could control when to take the photos?? rip
anyway the machine also gave us a link to the animated version O: what is this new technology i love it HAHAHAH you can see us struggling to fit in the frame
Tumblr media
did you know that there’s mos burg in bangkok??
Tumblr media
we found a mos burg but we didn’t go inside ))-: i wonder if they have thai exclusive food
Tumblr media
finally got to check out DADDY AND THE MUSCLE ACADEMY (gotta love that name)
it’s also a prop shop (by my definition) and this time i actually took pics of the inside so i can share the experience~~~
how should i describe the aesthetics?? hmmm colourful pastels and y2k vibes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
gahh the cute stickers and postcards were relatively inexpensive and i was tempted but i didn’t rly want to just spend money for the heck of it y’know
there was a Extra Salty Peanut plush pass case (it was very cute and i thought of anya heheh) that i also had to forgo bc didn’t have enough cash on me ))-:
so i left empty-handed...... my eyes ate well tho
found a cake shop that sold a cheesecake that was shaped like a holey cheese and i just had to get one for chi (and it was only like 1SGD?? cheap)
Tumblr media
rin2 and shoron picked out some mini cakes and i had tried one!! i think it was hazelnut?? not bad i like the smol size~ it’s very easy to eat and not too filling
Tumblr media
our next destination was ICONSIAM!! one of bangkok’s megamalls with a food hall that was set up to look like an indoor floating night market
we were gonna grab our lunch there~
took a cab over and this pic is proof that four of us could fit in the backseat of a regular taxi (it was nOT COMFORTABLE tho)
Tumblr media
man the food hall was cool and rly huge
there were so many stalls selling food, drinks and trinkets, and i was so afraid i’d get lost so i went around with shoron
this was also where i got the food miniatures for chi!! i think i spent a very long time at that particular stall lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
shoron and i both got pad thai from one of the stalls~ it was something that i’d never had before and wanted to try?? i got the squid one and didn’t add any spice
the squid looked suspiciously raw even though i saw the chef stir fry it with everything else in front of my eyes...
the taste is not bad but a little on the sweeter side?? i expected it to be more savoury hmmm
actually pad thai tastes kinda like the filling of a popiah lol am i the only one who thinks that??
tried a bit of the mango sticky rice that someone else got and it was yummy!! super sweet (even the rice is sweet??) but it’s a dessert so it’s fine
Tumblr media
been walking around with a cheesecake on me for quite some time and i don’t think it would survive the journey back to the hotel so i decided to eat it right after my meal
bOI IT LOOKED SO DARN CUTE BUT IT TASTED WEIRD it was by far the worst cheesecake i’ve ever eaten but it is also the cutest cheesecake i’ve ever seen?????
the texture was like jello and inside there was this orange cheese goo... that tasted kinda salty?? idk
it was extra gross bc it was room temp LOL that’s on me tho not the cake’s fault
would i buy it again??? prob not unless chi wants it for his bday or something (pls don’t make ownar eat this again)
Tumblr media
after lunch we explored the mall a little bit (mainly just checked out the supermarket lol)
then we went up to the terrace on the top floor to get a view of bangkok’s skyline~
Tumblr media
there was an indoor waterwall!! nothing compared to jewel’s indoor waterfall but this one has LED lights spelling out “ICONSIAM” every few mins
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
view from the terrace overlooking the city!! tea coloured river water hmmm
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
idk if you can spot the ferris wheel in the distance (hint: look between the white building and the dark grey one) but it was where we were headed to next
Tumblr media
our last stop was ASIATIQUE
and ngl it was disappointing :// all the shops at the supposed open-air market were closed (prob due to covid idk)
Tumblr media
there was a functional ferris wheel tho looked cool with the lights and all but i think the ride was kinda overpriced?? so we didn’t go on
Tumblr media
and a haunted house ride and a beautiful carousel too
but aside from those ride attractions there rly wasn’t anything else for us
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
honestly the convenience store that was a short walk away was prob more interesting than ASIATIQUE imo i rly wouldn’t recommend it unless you wanna check out the bars and restaurants (we were not interested in those unfortunately)
when we returned to the hotel, we pooled our leftover moneys and ordered in our biggest seafood feast!! perf way to end the trip
Tumblr media
even chi and cha were enjoying a feast of their own heheh
Tumblr media
i didn’t rly have trouble packing for the return trip bc i didn’t bring much and i didn’t buy an entire store and luwi had space in her luggage for me to yeet my things in (my stuff didn’t even take up half of her luggage lol)
then it was snooooze time
.
.
.
our flight back to sg was the next day (26 sep) at 10:50 am iirc so we had to reach the airport at least two hours earlier which meant that we would have to give the hotel breakfast buffet a miss bc it only starts at 7:30 am and the transport that the hotel arranged was coming to pick us up at 7:40 am
i ate the crab and tuna sandwich that i got from 7-11 and also drank a packet of choco soymilk
it was once again another rainy morning~~~ good thing we didn’t have to take the public transport
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the ride was a lot smoother than i had expected (no jams or anything) and we reached the airport earlier than anticipated
Tumblr media Tumblr media
when we landed in sg and cleared all the customs and collected our stuff from the baggage area, it was already around 3 pm?? and we hadn’t eaten a full meal since the night before so we were starvingggg
gUESS WHAT WE ATE LMAO
YES IT WAS MOS BURG °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° heheh
after that alfur, shoron and rin2 (luwi left right after eating) followed me to the pokecen bc i absolutely have to check the place out every time i’m at jewel
aside from the halloween stuff there wasn’t anything much so i grabbed a pumpkaboo and then we all left to go home
i shared a cab back with alfur and omg we got lost trying to find the taxi stands (one driver even cancelled on us bc we weren’t there when he arrived rip)
when i got home i ate my orange bread snack that i got from lawsons in bangkok and then crashed shortly after that zzz
.
.
.
overall a very fun and satisfying trip!! ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯ managed to fulfil both of my priorities which were shopping and sheep farm HAHAHAH
if there was a chance that we could get later flights then i’d prefer those even if it meant that we’d be wasting like half a day or something
but if not then i’d rather just take the midnight cab to the airport next time bc the waiting was painfulllll oof
and a later return flight would be good too!! we could check out later and have a last meal nearby or do some last-minute shopping or something... it was kinda sad having to miss breakfast just to catch our flight back home

hi! do you happen to have any pictures of the rinkaku photoshoot in which they're at a grassy field? i love it because it's one of the few photoshoots where they aren't enveloped in darkness.
Damnit, I just looked through my collection but it looks like the one postcard I saw multiple times stayed at the store in Japan, not purchased. I however own the MASSIVE volume where they are wearing almost or exactly the same outfits but definitely shrouded in darkness hahahah. 
And for some reason, it is not even included in the deluxe edition of the single either... Hm, perhaps it was the postcards OR the poster with Kyo’s artwork, and I got the latter. 
I found the two postcards/stickers for 200 yen on Yahoo! Japan Auctions and would buy them without hesitation for you if I had something else to purchase from Japan, but with most delivery services working at a lower capacity, it is troublesome right now.

Hi my darling! Here some questions: 3, 5, 23 and 43! Have a nice day! ~
Hahahah, Finally after over a year I figured you probably meant this ask set: https://postcards-from-absurdland.tumblr.com/post/169103984189/this-is-the-most-unique-one-ive-seen-please-yes (If you ment something different pls message me)3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
“Alijev quickly rebounded and soon moved his business to a more prominent location” (self-translation from a Polish novel “Warszawski Niebotyk”)
5) Ever had a poem or song written about you?
My boyfriend does write me love poems, but they’re not about me precisely.
23) What’s the worst place you have ever been to?
Ooooh, OK. It’s a whole story. 
When I was 17 I went on a 2-week shitty backpacking trip organised by a tourist centre, with a group of, as it turned out, very annoying people, and I omitted them as much as possible. However, being underage and pliant af, I never went fully astray, meaning (aside from one occasion) after doing my thing the whole day I always met them in pre-planned accomodations.
And once we ended up in a tourist home that was the most disgusting and exhausting and depressing place in my life. It’s not that it was particularly dirty (though it was), I don’t mind dirt really, but: 1) despite being in the middle of our “wild-and-peaceful-mountains” trip it was next to a busy road. 2) There was a group of five men occupying the kitchen with their cheap ass beers and frying something super stinky and mirky on all the frying pans aveliable. 3) There was a TV, and it blasted on full volume all night long. Worst. Experience. Ever.
I mean I was also in a lot of hospitals - admitted, visiting, volountiring - including mental hospitals - and they are sad, frightening, and upsetting places, probably most so, but you kind of? expect them to be that way? This one just took me by surprise.
43) What’s a song that always makes you happy when you hear it?
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go! This is the first song I remember liking in my life, besides child verses. It’s been pre-recorded on a child keyboard I got for Christmas of 1998…

Well I'm glad to be the first one then! Ahhh it's like you're on a European tour or something that's so cool! I'd love to get back to Europe soon, maybe with MTV or to meet up with some friends or something - any excuse to travel right? My pizza making went fkn awesome thanks for asking! He grumbled and complained about it but then ate half of it so actions speak louder than words in my book! I'd gladly accept and appreciate a postcard! That'd be so dope hahahah. We've all made poor choices in life so you shouldn't really hold onto them too hard, you know? Life's too short to dwell on regret and stuff hahah. When you come home and recover from jetlag you'll have to come and try another one of my pizzas or pancakes or something else from Chef Grayson's kitchen hahahah
Tumblr media
graysondolanyt​:
Tuesday is the best day ever!!!! It’s so much fun - every Tuesday is like a holiday hahah. Hey, Sweden is dope so don’t sweat it! I bet both Sweden and Hungary are crazy awesome and probably better than making a pizza with me in LA only for my brother to complain about it in some way because he’s mean to me hahaha but really that’s cool! Send me a postcard! It’s nice to meet you too Danielle - both of those things are awesome honestly - poor choices are only subjective anyway! Ahhh you’re so lucky it’s already the best day of the week over there!
Tumblr media
again, i don’t believe i’ve ever met anyone that’s so passionate about tuesday – especially so much as calling it a holiday! and sweden was pretty amazing, and i’ve been having a lot of fun in budapest as well – though i’ll admit that i’m looking forward to heading home to the states for a little bit. how did your pizza making end up going? hopefully your brother wasn’t too mean to you! and i’ll gladly send you a postcard, of course – i just bought some because my mom makes me send them to her as well. you’re right, though, poor choices are subjective, but i just know i’ve made some really poor ones. well, now it’s thursday night in budapest and tomorrow is my last day here, so i’m feeling pretty lucky about that!

Internship Update #3
I have 2 weeks left of my internship! (12 week program, phew!!) 
As my internship is coming to a close, it’s a really bittersweet ending for me. Why? On one hand, I can finally stop waking up at 6am for work and I don’t have such a strict “wake up, go to work, come home, go on fb for a bit, prep for work the next day, go to sleep” schedule. Seriously, I hardly got to hang out with friends if it was not on the weekends, and even then sometimes I’d be so pooped out from the work week, I’d use it to just sleep in and recharge. Sometimes I wake up on Saturday mornings and I’m like “NOOOO, my weekend is halfway over” which is ridiculous hahahah. Once my internship is over, I have a few weeks to finally enjoy my summer before my senior year at Cal starts!
But on the flip side, I’ve finally gotten to such a point where I’m really comfortable with my coworkers and we can banter and I’m not afraid to interrupt their conversations with my thoughts (not rudely, of course). I’m not scared to initiate conversations or join activities (hello, i just played ping pong with them on Friday!) and I only wish I could’ve gotten to this stage much earlier in my internship. I’ve also learned SO SO SO much, forged new relationships, and honestly, just had such a great experience (even though I’ll admit sometimes the work was really draining and tiring and a lot). My only regret is probably not getting more comfortable with them earlier. How do you do this? Here are some rather passive and easy things you can do:
1. Always say yes when they invite you somewhere. Lunch, meetings, etc. I mean, this was a summer internship so it’s not like it’ll kill me to go to a 1.5 hour meeting about maps. 2. For birthdays, always wish them in person happy birthday. Sign their birthday card or even make them your own. For the most part, people enjoy their one-day to shine. I didn’t realize it was my coworker’s birthday until the day of and I quickly printed one out for her and left it in her cubicle. She later stopped by to thank me. Whoo 3. Figure out what they like to talk about, what their hobbies are, etc. When you see something that reminds you of them, send it to them. In my company, there’s a lot of Skype meetings and on Facebook, I saw this “Conference Bingo” sheet. I saved it and was going to send it to my coworkers but unfortunately someone else had seen it earlier and emailed it out. Damn, should’ve done it sooner!!! hahaha. Also, someone in my department is a Cal grad, so maybe I’ll send him a Cal postcard around the time the Big Game hits up. Another person loves Disney. etc. Just simple, little ways to tell them you’re thinking of them and keeping the relationship alive so they remember you (#networking?!?!) Don’t be a boring intern that they forget about once you leave!
Sorry for being so MIA on the blog but I’ve been pretty occupied with the internship. Can’t wait till it ends (but also not looking forward to the awkward goodbyes haha). :)

Just a blast from the past: A postcard i wrote to myself in 2014 (when i was in Shanghai), to be sent to me in 2015. I was actually wandering around myself, and decided I wanna send myself some postcards, on the second last day I was there. Here’s what i wrote then: 
“Hello there!
Remember this postcard? Took some time off from going to Qi Pu Lu so I can drop by here and do this postcard. I wonder how’s life a year from now... One year seems too short a time for any changes to be made in your life (my life), except a year older & probably going for exchange if you got it. This is a little something of what you went through here these 3 months; How much you’ve grown, whether mentally or spiritually, how capable you actually are of being independent, and how much more there is out there in this world for you to learn. As the cliche goes, life is not always a bed of roses. There’ll be good times and there’ll be bad, you just got to know how to ride those turbulent waves and overcome them; only then will you grow stronger than before. Chose this postcard to remind you that happiness is something you choose - learn to let go of stuff that you have no control over anymore & I know that you’ll know when something is a lost cause. These period caught you thinking back every now & then about life w royal, & him basically. But i hope a year from now you can truly tell yourself you’re over it & really, you’re truly happy without him. You can, i know. I love you, press on babe.  zhiyu 1 Aug 2014″  In 2014, whatever I wanted to achieve in 2015 happened. August 2015 was right where I was departing for exchange, and in 2015, actually right in the beginning of the year I realised that I was over royal for good. It was a great year, a happy year. A year of many firsts, a year of achievements, a year of learning more about myself. A year which I realised that I am actually capable of liking someone else, and a year which I realised that someone else can actually make me feel so much, even more than what I have ever felt before. It gave me a little hope in myself that this can happen to me.  Looking at what I’ve said in 2014, I also realise that I am on track in terms of planning my short term life. HAHAHAH. 
2014 was good-ish? then 2015 was amazing. 2016 is just bad.. I never want to relive this year again haha. 
I think i have another postcard slated to be sent 3 years later... WHICH IS THIS YEAR AUG. Okay I am quite freaked out now, knowing that time passed so fast. :O Initially when i posted the 3 postcards to be sent on specific dates/year, I was thinking 3 years is really quite intense. ...... 
Anyway i should get back to packing my luggage for the flight tmr :’(

Sakaling Hindi Makarating #CineFilipinoGoesToUP
Almost one week nag run sa mga selected theaters ang entries ng CineFilipino2016 at itong Sakaling Hindi Makarating lang yung gustong gusto kong panuorin. Pero wala. We didn’t get any chance to see the movie. Kung hindi laging sold out yung tickets, sobrang layo naman ng sinehan.
Tumblr media
Kaya nung nalaman kong they will go to UP nga, di na ko nagpatumpik tumpik pa. Umabot sa point na 6 tickets yung pinareserve ko. Ganun ako kadesperado. Lol. Ganon naman yata pag may gusto kang makuha na isang bagay di ba? Gagawin mo ang lahat. Nung una ko kasing napanuod yung trailer nito sa facebook, parang there’s something in my head saying na I need to watch this, para kasing na-love at first sight ako. It really caught my attention.  Ang astig kasi nung trailer, iba yung strategy niya, macucurious ka, so wala kang magagawa kundi ang panuorin para malaman mo kung anong mangyayari sa huli.
Tumblr media
Actually, surprise ko sana ‘to kay wiffey. Kaso masyado siyang magaling para mahulaan na ito yung surprise ko. Badtrip! Hahahah. Since may pasok pa siya sa work, nauna na ko dahil nga baka magkaubusan ng ticket.
Bago ko makalimutan, ito nga pala yung sypnosis nung movie:
Nag-resign sa trabaho at naghanap ng bagong tirahan si Cielo in anticipation of married life, ngunit umatras—dalawang buwan bago ng kasal—ang fiancé niyang si Mark, ending their 11-year relationship. Matapos ang lahat (kasama na ang bigo binge-drinking), biglang umulan sa bahay ng hand-illustrated postcards mula sa misteryosong “M.” Nakumbinse si Cielo ng kanyang kapit-bahay—at new admirer—na si Paul na magbakasyon, sa halip na magmukmok sa bahay o maghintay kay Mark na makipag-usap. Determined to get to the bottom of the postcard mystery, lilibutin ni Cielo ang Pilipinas in search of the sender/maybe-soulmate, using clues sa bawat postcard na ifo-forward ni Paul.
Isa pang asset ng movie ay yung mga postcards na ginamit nila. At hindi namin napigilan ang mga sarili namin na bumili nito. Souvenir ba.
Tumblr media
400 pesos yung set of 12 at 250 yata ang set of 6. Kaya set of 6 lang binili namin. Hahahaha. Ang cool niya di ba? Idol ko si Anna Rubio!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Infairness naman sa haba ng pila. Abot ng PhilCoa. Hahahaha! Hindi ko lang inexpect kasi nung nakatamabay ako dun habang hinihintay mag 7:30, wala masyadong tao. Tapos maya maya nagulat na ko sa dami ng tao. Ibang klase talaga hatak nito sa mga manunuod.
Here’s my review!
Tumblr media
So yun nga, hindi na bago yung mga pelikula na ginagawang plot device yung sulat at kailangan ko na rin aminin na medyo nagagasgas na rin ang mga road movies, like, That thing called tadhana. At talagang ang pagiging broken hearted ang sanhi kung bakit naguunwind at nagsosoul searching ang mga bida. Pero hindi ko icocompare ‘to sa that thing dahil sobrang magkaiba sila.
Ito na ang mga masasabi ko:
SOBRANG GANDA NG PILIPINAS!
Bakit ko nasabi? Hello, yun yung ikot ng story hahaha. Hindi nagkamali ang direktor sa pagpili ng mga lugar na ifefeature sa movie. Lahat makabuluhan at medyo may koneksyon kay Cielo para matulungan siyang mag heal ang kanyang pusong sawi. Yung mga ganitong pelikula yung parang sinasabi sa’yo na, pack your things, and just go! Dedma kahit walang itinerary! Basta sumakay ka lang ng bus, eroplano, o barko. Kung san ka dalhin ng mga paa mo, doon ka.
2. GREAT CHOICE OF CHARACTERS!
Well, hindi na dapat kwestyunin ang pagganap ni Alessandra De Rossi. She’s a  legend, indeed. Ibang klase siya umarte at ang atake niya sa mga linya niya. Ang gusto ko ihighlight dito ay nabigyan ng hustisya ng bawat artista ang mga karakter na ginagampanan  nila. Isa pa, ay hindi sila gumamit ng mga sikat na personalidad. Natuwa talaga ako kay Manuel (JC Santos) dahil nakita ko siya sa personal! Hahaha! Napapanuod ko kasi siya sa web series ng TV5 na Forever Sucks. Napakahusay din ni Paul (Pepe Herrera). Siya yung artista na effortless umakting pero sobrang galing.
3. UNIQUE PLOT TWIST!
Dito talaga tumayo yung balahibo ko. Like, I didn’t see that coming. Hahaha! Grabe lang yung plot twist niya. Syempre ineexpect ko na si M yung nagpapadala ng mga postcards pero hindi pala. Iniiisip ko pa nga na si Paul galing yung mga sulat pero hindi rin pala.
4.  THE CINEMATOGRAPHY!
Gusto kong isama to dun sa number 1 pero hindi. Kailangan ihiwalay ‘to dahil naelibs ako sa cinematography the entire movie. Plakadong plakado! Lahat ng lugar na pinuntahan ni Cielo ay nabigyan ng hustisya. Impressive yung mga aerial shots pati yung mga landscape. Lalo na yung sa Batanes. Parang umaapaw sa galak yung puso ko pag biglang liliwanag yung sinehan dahil sa vibrant color na visuals.
5. WORDS OF WISDOM.
The movie looks like a typical hugot lines fest type of film, and fortunately, iniwasan nga nila gumamit ng ganung klaseng script. Simple lang yung batuhan ng mga linya pero effect na effect lang. At ang pinakatumatak sa isipan ko, ay yung line ni Paul na, ” 11 years lang yun. 11 years is nothing compared to the rest of your life.” Stig! Ang sarap isampal yan sa mga hiniwalayan ng mga mahal nila na hindi makamoveon. Hahahaha.
Sa isang pelikula hindi mawawalan yan ng mga flaws. Hindi ko na iisa-isahin dahil nainis lang ako sa mga eksena na kapag may pinupuntahan si Cielo, sobrang bilis lang ng transition. Like, wala 5 minutes, mag jujump off nanaman sa ibang place. Nakakabitin kaya! There’s something pa kasi na gusto mong mangyari dun sa lugar na yun pero nilisan agad. Sana napush thru pa ‘to para gumanda pa lalo. But, let’s consider na lang na debut film ito ni Direk Ice Idanan, it’s really a big achievement for her na kung anong layo ng narating ni Cielo para mahanap si M, ay ganoon din kalayo yung inabot ng movie na ‘to, and I’m hoping na pati sa international scenes din.
Pero kung kayo ba yung tatanungin, pag broken hearted ba kayo, sa tingin niyo may maitutulong sainyo ang alon, ang sunset, ang scenery, para makalimot? Hahaha!
This is really a good watch. Hindi bumaba yung interes ko sakanya, kung gaano ako kainteres dito bago ako pumasok ng sinehan, mas nadagdagan pa nung lumabas ako. It’s exciting and fun, and full of emotions na cinematic adventure, na hindi ka papatayuin sa kinauupuan at isolve ang mystery na bumabalot sa postcards! Hindi nasayang yung efforts at pera para mapanuod lang to. Super worth it! Right, babe?
CONGRATULATIONS, #SAKALINGHINDIMAKARATEAM!
Rating: 8.5/10
