Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, 2024 - ★★★½

Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire is a total blast if you're into giant monster showdowns. The story itself made no sense at all, but it's still entertaining as hell. Although, for a moment, I felt like I was watching Planet of the Apes. They should have made a crossover with Caesar at this point, …

Set Up Another Blog

After careful consideration, I have decided to create a new blog--Life of Ning Magazine--focusing solely on my personal life. The intention is to keep it semi-public, hence I will not include RSS feeds like my other blogs, nor will I cross-post to my main site, which already has RSS set up. However, …

The Iron Claw, 2023 - ★★★★

“The Iron Claw” was a truly heart-wrenching story. They fought tooth and claw, desperate for even a mere of recognition that should already have been granted to them from the start. The pain they endured would have been unbearable for anyone. The final scene hit so hard, especially with the song of …

Love Lies Bleeding, 2024 - ★★★★

Love Lies Bleeding is like an imaginary dream of a queer love story. And I'm all for it! This movie has everything - from family drama, romance, comedy, crime, violence, thriller, horror, and muscles! The intense atmosphere filled with manic energy contrasted perfectly with the humor, and I …

May December, 2023 - ★★★★

Have you ever wondered if we’re just a cocoon, believing we can already fly? This question struck me after watching “May December.” The emotional and sensitive subjects addressed in the film, coupled with the powerful performances of the cast, evoked a discomfort that made it hard not to look away. …

Godzilla Minus One, 2023 - ★★★★

Watched on Sunday March 17, 2024.

American Fiction, 2023 - ★★★★

I have to say, this satire was on point and felt incredibly “raw” and “important”. LOL On a more serious note, I found the cinematography to be somewhat lackluster and I felt like it dragged down the emotional impact of some key scenes. Additionally, I feel that the screenplay could have used a bit …

SPY x FAMILY CODE: White, 2023 - ★★★★

This movie really brought the best aspects in each character. So cute ☺️

Being a Bilingual Is Like Having a Double Identity

When people think about being bilingual, they often assume it involves simply translating between two languages. Nope. Being bilingual is about adopting a new mode of communication, adding a whole new dimension to the relationship between yourself and the world. Each language embodies unique natures …

Bob Marley: One Love, 2024 - ★★★½

I enjoyed the vibe throughout the film, but I wish they could’ve delved deeper into his life.

The Zone of Interest, 2023 - ★★★★

It's Okay to Not Write

Sometimes you don’t have anything to write, and your mind falls into silence. There's nothing to rant about, nothing to evaluate, nothing to think. Rather than putting words on paper, you want to listen to the sounds of your surroundings. Instead of trying to understand yourself, you want to get …

Dune: Part Two, 2024 - ★★★★

As a huge fan of the director, the cast, and the Dune Series, it pains me to give this movie a low rating. (I was so ready to give it a 10.) Unfortunately, this movie did not meet my expectations for excellence in storytelling. It seemed to prioritize plot over explanations and character depth, …

An Extra Day

Today is February 29th, also known as leap day, it's natural to ponder what we would do with this extra day gifted to us every four years. The concept of a leap day brings forth questions of how we value time and how we choose to spend it. What would you do with your extra day? Would you toss it …

Morning Pages: The Power of Writing What’s on Your Mind Everyday.

Writing is not something that comes naturally for most people, but it is one of the most powerful ways to transform ourselves. It is a journey of self-discovery, self-healing, and self-expression that can be achieved anywhere and at any time by anyone. There is a practice called “Morning Pages”, …

It's Time To Stop Being A Hoarder

I have a hoarding habit, but it's not with physical objects due to my limited space. Instead, I hoard everything digitally. Photos, music, movies, books, notes, apps, and even browser tabs—I collect them all. It may seem strange, but I even hoard tasks. Recently, I had an epiphany—by hoarding …

Hello, Scribbles and a holla to my future self.

I finally got the invite for Scribbles! Don't get me wrong, Micro.blog is a wonderful platform for connecting with others and sharing snippets of my life. However, it often feels like an aggregated site rather than a true blogging platform. I find myself focused on social interactions rather than …

Embracing Collaboration: Craft's New Direction

Gotta love the new direction of Craft. They’ve made it crystal clear that they are all about collaboration and teamwork with their recent move. While current users get to keep their Pro plan, it’s pretty obvious that Craft wants new users to embrace the collaborative spirit. Makes sense, …

Golf Mike Bounce to The Future Concert

ขอมาอวยยศให้กับ Golf Mike Concert เนื่องจากเป็นโชว์ที่ดีมากที่สุดโชว์หนึ่งที่เคยดูมา โดยพื้นฐานเราเป็นคนที่ชอบจากผลงานมากกว่าตัวศิลปิน แต่หลังจบคอนเสิร์ตนี้ พวกคุณไม่ใช่แค่ศิลปินที่เราชอบ แต่คือบุคคลที่น่าชื่นชม คนแบบนี้ไม่ควรห่างหายจากวงการดนตรียาวนานขนาดนี้เลย ถึงจะมีเพลงโผล่มาประปราย …

The Importance of Proper Push-Up Training: An Annoying Experience at the Gym

Seeing trainers not teach push-ups correctly is the most annoying thing about going to the gym, especially when a client is a woman. People who aren’t strong enough should be taught how to do incline push-ups against a wall, a bar, a bench, or anything else. Instead, they did some weird moves …

Micro.publish plugin for Obsidian app as a way to post on micro.blog

This is my first time using the micro.publish plugin for Obsidian. This could be a great way for me to post on micro.blog. I’ll write drafts in iA Writer and then publish them on my MacBook when I get home. I could even skip iA Writer and just use Drafts for writing drafts. When I’m …

The Creator, 2023 - ★★★★

Surprisingly good. Really liked the world building.

Freelance, 2023 - ★★★½

Silly but so entertaining.

Tot Pocket Mini Review

I Just Bought Tot Pocket!! Tot Pocket is a digital scratchpad app that only allows for 7 active notes, which may seem restrictive but is actually quite liberating. The Reason? I want a place to scribble notes, but only for active projects and Tot is lightning fast! With Drafts, I’m constantly …

I don't like the new direction of Craft.do

After seeing the latest updates and how they’ve been communicated within the Slack community, I’m not sure whether I’ll continue to use Craft in the long run. In my opinion, this indicates a lack of market understanding of their customers. They continued to prioritize major updates …
