Movie Review: Look Both Ways

Starring: Lili Reinhart

Aisha Dee

Danny Ramirez

David Corenswet

Directed by: Sarah Watt

Release Date: August 17, 2022

Look Both Ways is a story about Natalie Bennett (Lili Reinhart). It's not your typical romantic kind of film. If you've already watched '13 Going 30' this movie is similar to it in a way, but not totally. 

Natalie had just graduated from her college and already has her life planned in the next five years.lll Then something happened during their graduation party. She was presented with two different scenarios. One was her following and pursuing her 5-year plans that include moving to Los Angeles with her bestfriend, Cara (Aisha Dee). The other one was her unexpectedly entering into a motherhood only right after her graduation. 

I loved how this movie was greatly curated. You don't always see movies where you get to witness two totally different plots, usually there is only one. This movie showed the best (and even worst) of both worlds, hence the title. Either you're a Team Gabe (Danny Ramirez) or Team Jake (David Corenswet), you both win. 

Whichever path you want to take, either you want to be a career woman or you've undergone a major change in your life, this movie is for you. This movie shows that even if you've reached one of your major goals in life, it isn't always all unicorns and rainbows. It wouldn't be as easy as you thought it would be. This movie also shows the importance of having a support system especially during the times that you think you can't go on anymore with your life, or when everything seems to be falling apart. And at the same time, the importance of having someone who you want to share your good news with. 

Look Both Ways also proves that you can plan your life, but it wouldn't be as smooth as you thought it's going to be. It won't happen just like how you envisioned it. There is always going to be mishaps along the way. The important thing is that you know that you can always get back again at your feet. You might think that your life is a total mess, or that you're a failure, but you can still rise again. You can always pick up the pieces and make your life whole again.

This movie will make you realize that life doesn't end even when all of our plans fail. Know that there is always time to begin again despite all the setbacks that you encounter. All you have to do is be willing to be bold to start again and know what your true passion is. 

Look Both Ways will inspire you to reach for your dreams and to never stop believing in yourself. 

I am giving this movie a rating of 5/5.

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop
