Release dates: October 6, 2022 

Director: Bang Woo-ri

20th Century Girl is a Korean film about love and friendship. This is the second Korean movie that I watched and I'm glad that it didn't disappoint me. The main characters of the film are high-schoolers. But no matter what age bracket you are in, I guarantee that you're gonna love this movie. 

Na Bo-ra (Kim Yoo-jung) and Kim Yeon-du (Roh Yoon-seo) are best friends. But due to a heart condition, Yeon-du needs to fly to New York to have a surgery. Before she left Korea, she met a guy who she instantly liked. She asked her best friend to keep tabs on him. Na Bo-ra haven't met the guy, yet. Yeon-du only gave her his name, or at least what she presumed his name was, that she saw on his jacket that he's wearing when she saw him.

They go to the same school, so Na Bo-ra easily found him. Again, with only his name patched on his jacket. She update her best friend about some stuff that she finds about this guy. Along her 'stalking', she met Poong Woon-ho (Byeon Woo-seok). He is friends with the guy that she's keeping tabs on, Baek Hyun-jin (Park Jung-woo). They are both members of the same club, journalism. So they often see each other, and eventually became friends and then liked each other. 

Yeon-du went back to Korea after her successful heart surgery. And that's when things started to get complicated. 

My most favorite part of the movie was the almost ending part. The one with all the videotapes playing in a museum, I think. It's such a sweet gesture and at the same time truly heartbreaking. You can only see that kind of scene in a Korean film. 

If you haven't cried in a movie for a while now, you should definitely see this one. Or if you need and ugly cry, or you need to let out the tears that you've been holding on for a while, 20th Century Girl is your way. Just prepare a box of tissue, or your blanket would do, and you're good to go. 

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




au revoir.😊

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
