It Is Such An Unfortunate Thing When You Encounter People Who Seem To Wake Up Each Morning With A Mantra
It is such an unfortunate thing when you encounter people who seem to wake up each morning with a mantra of trying to do damage to you in any way possible. It is a given goal even if it happens to be a trivial thing. It is even more irritating and frustrating when it's your neighbour and they did this when you're having a low tolerance with BS people.

Movie Review: FABRICATED CITY (2017)
FABRICATED CITY (2017) Movie Review
As the film where (then) the up-and-coming hallyu action star Ji Chang-wook debuted as a lead actor, Fabricated City shows enough crisp fight scenes and heart-pumping setup to match what the usual revenge thriller films serve. Power play, deceit, and the intent to be proven innocent are a few of the main themes that propel this film’s plot.
Fabricated City exhibits remarkable resemblance to the premise of most character-driven online videogames – in order to achieve a mission, they must work as a team. All throughout the movie, action, and video game enthusiasts will surely be entertained most especially with satisfying framing of high-tech surveillance and fight scenes. A couple of lightly heated scenes were matched with laidback musical scoring that serves as breathers to the film’s rapid-fire progression. Despite the Fabricated City’s seemingly snappy plot, it still manages to portray few well-built characters although there is a lack of character development.
One can note how subtly this film shows annotations towards not only South Korea’s but to Asian countries’ surprisingly modern view of where the underprivileged stands among the country’s elites. Paired with the pressure from the media, anything could be manipulated from a simple video clip to a trial’s verdict.
Welcome, 2021!
2020 has ended, and I am making my first blog post. YAY! I have been planning to start this blog since 2017. However, anxious thoughts dominated my being with bouts of perfection-seeking perspective, low self-esteem, self-doubts, and self-reflection. I decided to finally take the initiative, even though the basics of this blog are not set yet, to start posting as a farewell to this year of…

“Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck, when you don’t go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought. And then you can get hit with a day, or an hour, or a half a second when so much happens it’s almost like you got born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet.”

LATE NIGHT POST
Been feeling this way since high school. During elementary, I was in my own world and only felt sad that some classmates misunderstood or laugh (or smirk) on my cluelessness about films, shows, and trends. But in high school, there was a pull between reading books or hanging out and talking with friends or classmates about people in showbiz, or shows, films, or just be with them doing fun shizz. FOMO is strong mostly during DMs which friends chose to ignore constantly if they're busy (esp if they're with other "more fun" people).
When birthday wishes are reduced to "happy birthday" from those short yet well meaning personal messages I adore. When you finall6 able to go with people but you got so much to catch on from exes, drunken stories, and jokes which makes it awkward for both you and the people you are with.
So over the years, I gradually rewired my brain to forgo any expectations I used to have. Still, I feel all the emotions from heaviness, the emptiness, and the feeling of being forgotten. I expect people to misjudge, misunderstood, overlook, ignore, and be disappointed in me.
It is so ingrained within me that I have a hard time considering calling people as friends or to even think about the idea of being committed in a romantic relationship with someone. This is not all that bad tho coz it introduced me to be more loving on myself by myself. To not expect anything from people. To learn things I could learn so when they refuse or ignore my plea for assistance (or they abandon me) I can do it on my own. Coz you will come to a point of getting tired of making excuses for people who did not even bother to offer you one for themselves.
I miss people and moments even if they don't miss me (or remember me) at all. It's okay coz this is life and I could be forgetting others as well. We will all die one day and when it is time we should reflect if we are proud of the life we've lived up to the very last breath.
