Top 5 Movie Picks for May

Its gonna be May! I’ve watched a lot of drama this month of May. I call it a preparatory rainy season moment. Before the rainy season starts to engulfed, I prepared myself for the dramatic feeling that the rain is about to made me feel. Here are some of the movies I enjoyed watching this month. I know I mentioned before that I’m not really a great movie reviewer or even a critique, but I might as well give a few thought about these films. Just remember that these are just my personal opinion and I hope you’ll go easy on my thoughts. We all have different opinions and reactions to certain things, so give each other a little respect. Here are my top favorites for May (in no particular order)

I've written this piece 5 years ago. I'm at my quarter-life and literally lost and not knowing what to be with my life. Whenever there is a major turning point in my life, I always look above and search for inner peace. There is something about the clouds that calms my soul. It gives me an insurmountable amount of self-love and contentment. This poem is an ode to my younger self. May you find your peace every day, Kath.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in the toil of his father before him, fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. As the park has changed over the years - from the Loop-the-Loop to the Pipeline Plunge - so, too, has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth to embittered old age. The war left him wounded. His days tumbled into one another, a mix of loneliness, regret and sad dreams of what could have been.Then, on his eighty-third birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path for ever.

Top 5 Movie Picks for April

April was a great downtime month. Aside from the scorching summer heat, we have experienced three weeks of long holiday weekend that gave us a nice amount of time to enjoy the summer and spend time with family and friends.

Fortune Island: This Wreak so Beautiful

Known as one of the Philippine’s beach destinations, Batangas offers more than just beaches and historical places. There’s also a wide array of beautiful spots and landmarks that this province has to offer. One of its most famous go to sites would be Fortune Island. Located in a private remote island in Nasugbu, Batangas, Fortune Island features the famous “Ruins” inspired by ancient Greek architecture. There used to be a private resort that operates in the early 80s which houses these ruins. Now, the island is a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

Rúrok: A Samgyupsal Rooftop Experience

Earlier this year, my husband and I stumbled into a Korean barbecue dining place somewhere in Tondo, Manila. They claimed to be the first rooftop bar and grill located at Herbosa Street, corner Quezon Street in Don Bosco, Tondo. Out of curiosity and since its been a while since I have eaten a Samgyupsal, we decided to try and see for ourselves what the hype is all about.
