Entering Jurassic Park
A few days ago, I posted this on my Ria Jose Facebook Page: I created the post in celebration of #ScienceFictionDay. But it also gave me soooo many memories. As far as I can remember, Jurassic Park was the film that piqued my interest in the sci-fi genre. First Cinema Experience Interestingly, my first memory of watching a film in the cinema was another sci-fi film. All I remember was it was a King Kong film and the first scene I remember was King Kong in a some sort of hospital bed or operating table. Via Google Search, I recently found out that this movie was "King Kong Lives." King Kong Lives Movie Poster According to Wikipedia, it was released in 1986. I was around 4 years old in 1986 but I am not too sure if the film was released in our city on the same year or if my memory is accurate. I did enjoy that movie and many other sci-fi movies like ET, Batteries Not Included, Back to the Future, and even Robocop. But I was not particularly attached or fascinated by these films.

Let us begin with the January 2018 Word: NEW. January 2018 Word: NEW. New clothes. New smile. January 2018 Word: New New may mean anything. A new me. A new dish I made or tried, a new habit, a new friend, a new product. Anything new. Whatever new means to me and you, in different ways, that is ok. For clarity, though... the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines new as follows. Definition of NEW 1 : having recently come into existence : recent, modern 2 a (1) : having been seen, used, or known for a short time : novel (2) : unfamiliar b : being other than the former or old 3 : having been in a relationship or condition but a short time 4 a :…
Ang Larawan
"That Ang Larawan is currently trending made me cry. Like real tears at 5 am. Gaiz, don’t just tweet about it. Watch it! It will speak to you on so many different levels. The music is by @ryancayabyab. And hallo! Material by National Artist #NickJoaquin, and #RolandoTinio." -My tweet at past 5 am today, December 29, 2017 I am no movie critic but every now and then, a film moves me and compels my fingers to type out words. Hard as it may be to express why a film is worthy of your time, let’s try. Shall we? Contra Mundum Ang Larawan Ang Larawan is a film based on a musical play based on a play.
