I wish I have written more anime recommendations before so that I wouldn't need to re-watch it all again in order to remember if it's worth recommending or not. Anyway, here's one that I should have recommended a long time ago: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. This Japanese film is one of the most … Continue reading Why You Should: Watch “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”

Why You Should: Watch “A Silent Voice”
Tomatometer: 90% A Silent Voice (The Shape of Voice/Koe No Katachi) came out the same year (in Japan) as Kimi No Nawa (Your Name) and even though the second one received so much attention and praise (well, it was pretty great after all,) I hope this recommendation will make you want to watch A Silent … Continue reading Why You Should: Watch “A Silent Voice”
Why You Should: Watch “Girls Trip”
"This weekend is about US!" Tomatometer: 90% As recommended by a friend, I had to go watch this film because I haven't laughed for a long while.

Why You Should: Watch “Birdshot”
IMDb: 7.3/10 This Filipino film was released in 2016 but because good movies like this don't get much publicity often, it took me 2 years before I could watch it on the big screen.

Why You Should: Watch “Begin Again”
Tomatometer: 82% Even though this film is already loved by many, I don't think it's too late to write about it now. So here I am. I've seen Begin Again more than 10 times and I wouldn't mind watching it again every time I feel down and uninspired. This film is the first John Carney for me … Continue reading Why You Should: Watch “Begin Again”

Why You Should: Read “All the Bright Places” by Jennifer Niven
Goodreads: 4.2 God I love this book. I've read so many content about various mental illnesses but this is one of those books that caught my heart, my time, and my tears. The two major characters are so realistic that we can relate them to ourselves or a person we know. As this is the … Continue reading Why You Should: Read “All the Bright Places” by Jennifer Niven
Why You Should: Read “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami
Goodreads: 3.88 "1Q84" is the first Haruki Murakami book I have ever read. And it's an understatement to say "it's quite long". The book was never mine to begin with.
