A Teamlead called the clinic looking for an agent who has been missing for about an hour.

Nurse: "Sorry Sir pero according sa log book wala pong agent na pumupunta sa amin with that name."

Pagkababa ng phone may pumasok na Agent.

Agent: "Ah Sir , sabi po ng TL ko for rest daw po ako."

Upon assessment it was determined that no rest was needed and that patient was sent back to the floor.

Turns out this was the missing agent who already took the rest even before going to the clinic. Winner! 

Magusap kayo ni TL!

"On Love Expressions"

 "On Love Expressions"

If you ever decide to date someone in the future. One of the things that you should know about them is how they show love and affection. 

Some can be silent but are protective of you. Some might not be good with dates but remember a random food you craved or song that you liked.

Some are great at saying what they mean or know how to soothe you with a word or two. Some say nothing. 

Some are great at showing physical affection. Like a cute tug at your shirt or the way that they hold your hand or how they would hug you randomly for no reason at all. 

Some are great at surprising you and some surprise you that they are not good at surprises. But just because they do not express love in the way that you feel that you should be loved does not mean that they love you less. 

People just express themselves differently and problems arise when we do not recognize this.

One of the things that humans should learn is that if someone gives you money, it is rarely for free. 

There is an exchange and The 8 Show will make you wonder if you can live through what that exchange can be.

Hitting on the emotional core of Greed and Desperation the show focuses on 8 players and speaks about the issues of the present. May it be the failed attempts at something or the down of his luck person. From the structures of society to what decency means.

If you are a fan of The Squid Game and have grown tired of when Season 2 will eventually be released , then The 8 Show should satisfy your craving. 

Please be warned that it is not for the faint of heart. All while I was watching it I was recalling what Jafar said as he became a Genie, "You'd be surprised what you can live though."

The Showrunners really knew how to hook you in and believe me it is one of those shows that you will want to see through to the end even if it may make you feel uncomfortable....A lot.

Godzilla Minus One is not just a Monster Movie. It is about the humans that try to go up against him as well. This movie is just what the Doctor ordered. If you have been watching something lately and found yourself dozing off or not even feeling a thing for the characters in a movie , then this might be the movie for you.

I have always loved monsters movies like this but more than the monsters , you have to actually feel for the humans that will go on the impossible task of beating the monster and why they should beat it.

Godzilla Minus One makes you feel for the turmoil that is eating up the main character Koichi so that in every step of the way you can feel his anguish but he is met with people who are also very human in their struggles and need to be redeemed as well.

More than the great action pacing and great visuals of this movie is that core of emotion , that need to see this through to the very end.

If you watched this and not felt anything at all then you are very jaded indeed.

Went in to watch it with no expectations but ended up pleaaantly satisfied with the great cinematic shots , the crash course in Ainu culture , the introduction of interesting characters.  The main lead Immortal Sugimoto poses a lot of questions even at the very end of this movie. 

After reading in history books of how Ainu were treated this movie gave me several insights and comparisons as to how some may still have city vs provincial views of certain people in our own society. 

Also…

Asirpa has really great teeth for someone who grew up hunting in the mountains. Ainu tribes probably have great dental plans.

Makes me want to check the manga I have saved in my hard drive but never got to reading all those years ago. I guess now is the time. 

All in all a good action packed  introduction that will get you interested.

To put it badly , 1917 and it's entire plot could have been prevented if they had a single working phone in that day and age.

Kidding aside 1917 is a harrowing journey to get an important message across enemy territory in order to save hundreds of lives.

This movie offers both horrifying and contrasting beautiful scenes of that war torn area as the messengers travel through it. One of the best I have seen in awhile.

The build up for the action scenes are intense and you feel the moments where the characters are driven to complete what they have started. All in all a very entertaining film worth the time you spent on it.
