Happy 127 Day, NCTzens! It is January 27 (0127) and it is a special day for NCT 127 and NCTzens. To celebrate this day, 127 is sharing their own playlists via the NCT 127 Youtube Channel. Taking their cue, I am sharing also a few of my favorite 127 songs. Specifically, these are songs that I love to listen to on days when I want to just chill and relax. Hope you enjoy my NCT 127 Chill Playlist recommendations. About 127 NCT 127 is the first fixed unit of NCT (Neo Culture Technology), a KPop boy group managed by SM Entertainment. NCT 127 Favorite.BUY the album. NCT's concept is quite uhmmm... complicated to explain. Just think of them as an unlimited boy group composed of multiple units with different concepts. Some of these units have a specific city "home base" where they do most of their activities and promotions. NCT 127 is based in Seoul, Korea and 127 is the longitude of Seoul. They currently have 9 active members and 1 inactive member. 127 debuted in 2016 with "Fire Truck," an energetic and powerful hip-hop song. I mention this because Fire Truck, along with all of 127's succeeding title tracks…

Take Me Back to Elyu
Everyday, I think of going out, venturing back into the world. Leave my cares and worries and go someplace else. On most days, I want to go back to La Union... or as most people fondly call it "Elyu." People know me well will wonder why I, a person who always tries to avoid the beach, would ever want to go back to Elyu. To be honest, I do not really have a definite answer. La Union is up north and quite a hassle to go to. The first (and only) time I went there, it was a sponsored trip which I was kinda required to join. I was hesitant to go alone to a town I have never been to. And that time, I did not have any friends in La Union. Related Link: La Union Itinerary I did not go there to surf nor to lay on the beach. I went with just the itinerary and the task to take some photos and post some stuff online. Pretty basic. But that trip turned out to be one of the best I have ever been to. My Elyu I went on the trip with strangers and literally ended up…
Marry You
Yes, SHINee is back. Before you start wondering when and why I suddenly became a KPop fan, let me tell you it is a long story that developed in just a few weeks. Will definitely share more about that soon. Meanwhile, let's enjoy this SHINee comeback teaser "Marry You." Marry You Live Performance SHINee recently held a digital event entitled "The Ringtone" and at the end of the show, they performed one of the songs from their 7th album. Baby Cheese Taemin has been hinting about this song and some viewers even guessed the title during the broadcast. It has been weeks since I first watched this and yes, I do watch it at least once day. The song is not yet available on Spotify but will be online soon. Watch their performance and tell me you were as enthralled as I am. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GG9hPKwmeYo This is such a nice song. A bit slow but definitely a good showcase for the vocals of all four. And their styling in this performance is just impeccable. Key always be serving. (Do not miss his Allure feature on turning 30 and his views on femininity and masculinity. ) Marry You is the so-called "Side…
Anti-Valentines Movie Marathon Playlist
I was mulling making several anti-Valentine's posts. The first of which is a playlist of sorta angry and bitter movies for the single ladies (and gentlemen). I listed down movies. Drafted several other movie playlists and I ended up with this: my Anti-Valentines Movie Marathon Playlist. Not necessarily for single ladies. Definitely not just for the sad and bitter. But for anybody who simply wants to enjoy a good movie marathon. I have watched most of these more than once in the past. And majority of these I have re-watched in the past few weeks just to be sure these movies fit into what I consider as "Anti-Valentines Movies." What is an Anti-Valentines Movie Marathon? Most of these are my favorites. Other than me loving each one, I carefully chose every movie to make sure it fits my anti-Valentine's sentiments. First, most of the movies in my list are female-driven or have female leads. Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth I (1993)Screengrab from Hollywood Reporter: LINK Second, these films do not have romance or romantic relationships as a major plot point. Mind you, the leads are not necessarily loveless or single . Just that their love relationships are not at the center…
Edward
Finally, I got the chance to watch Cinemalaya in cinemas. Thank you, Cinemalaya and Ayala Malls for that. I watched 5 of the feature films of Cinemalaya 2019. And each one was special and memorable. Of the 5 I watched, Thop Nazareno's Edward is the film that really stood out. Lucky you, you can watch Edward in cinemas nationwide starting Wednesday, October 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_DjfJgVLWw Edward will be screened in cinemas nationwide starting October 2. Edward is perhaps the best coming of age film I watched in recent years. I went in without any expectations. To be honest, I watched it because there was hype around the movie. I read that it was good and the screening time was convenient. Other than the blurb on the Cinemalaya brochure, I did not know anything about it. A public hospital serves as a witness to a young boy's rite of passage when he is stuck to take care of his ailing father.- Cinemalaya Site, link I expected a gritty, sad film. Heart-wrenching. What I watched was heart-warming. Feel good. Funny. Thrilling. And yes, sad at times. With a little bit of kilig. It was not a rollercoaster of emotions, as one would say.…
