Life Realizations as I turn a Quarter and One

As we live our lives here on Earth, we are faced with different circumstances, may it be good or bad. And as humans, we have to deal with these just so we could go on with our lives. These circumstances molded me to become the person I am today. As I turn a year older, a lot of realizations came to me. 

I am flawed.  I am not perfect. I just try to be someone that is appreciated, even if not by many but by the most important people in my life. I guess, it is a basic human need to be appreciated and I won't deny that I wanted that, too. 

I don't trust people easily like I used to. I guess this came with age and maturity. You learn that you don't need certain people in your life. You don't need the extra baggage that came with the passive relationships you encounter along the way. You don't trust and expect that person to stay. You just need those that you can trust completely and you can pour your heart out.    

I get tired in maintaining relationships. This one came with age and priorities. Sometimes, I feel tired with maintaining relationships. Why, you ask? Relationship is hard work. That I can tell you. It doesn't work if the the parties involve are not putting the extra effort to make the relationship work. Some, relationships, may it be work, friendship, family, can be tiresome. I needed to sort out the relationships that really matter to me and needs every bit of my attention.

I frequently need my alone time. I prefer to stay at home if I don't have anything to do. This gives me the time to get some thinking done. To process what happened that week, to calm myself, to just do nothing. I needed the time to recharge and keep my mind sane to face the days ahead.

Taiwanese Movie Craze

This week was all about binge watching and I got hooked up with Taiwanese movies. I found them really cute and romantic. There's this unexplained joy in these cutesy, romantic movies. hihihihi. I searched for the most recommended movies beforehand and I was not disappointed. 

1. Fall in Love at First Kiss (2019)

This one's a remake but it is the best version yet, at least for me. I liked how the girl tried to moved on and did not beg the guy to really be with her. This is a cute movie. hihihi.

(4.5/5)

2. Our Times (2015)

This one's something else. I cried when I watched this movie. The were really cute together. I liked how I can feel the sincerity of the characters. 

(5/5)

3. You are the Apple of my Eye (2011)

You can really see dedication in this movie. How much a guy should earn a girl's precious "yes". It is really romantic, too. 

(4/5)

4. Hear Me (2009)

This one's really cute and romantic, as well. It will open your eyes to the differently abled people.

(4.5/5)

All in all, I really liked all of these movies. I totally recommend these if you want to feel "kilig". 

Hit and Run Squad (2019)

I admit, I'm hyped with anything Ryu Jun Yeol and this movie is not an exception. Whoa. Badass. All of the actors really did a great job but my eyes are only for Jun Yeol. hihihihi. The movie is kinda brutal and violent but let's just think that all of it is not true. His masculinity when he takes over the wheels. Wow, just wow. 

Intimate Strangers

People live three lives.

A public life,

a private life

and a secret life.

Ryu Jun Yeol

This is an appreciation post for Ryu Jun Yeol. Where to begin? I'm totally back to fangirling over him, now that he's doing Traveler with Lee Je Hoon. I really like him. His personality on top of it all. You can really rely on him (close ba kami?). hahaha. He's a guy to admire. He's a really good actor, too. I look forward to his movies and other projects this year.
