DON’T LOOK UP (2021) Directed by Adam McKay, ‘Don’t Look Up’ is a satirical representation of ignorance toward scientists and how science is largely disregarded in the legal field. This film captures the alarming tendencies of people to turn a deaf ear to the truth even though with the direct unveiling of facts.

“The secret to getting results that last is to never stop making improvements.” The focus of the book is on “atomic” or small life adjustments that may be made by forming good habits and breaking negative ones. These changes, when repeated and built upon, can result in a better version of ourselves. There are 20 chapters in the book and each chapter starts with a real-life anecdote on how certain actions had an impact on the life of the individual or a group being described in the anecdote. This builds up the context for the rest of the chapter.

Whether it's the dawn of a new era or the birth of a new one, the seasons have always been changing, and the moment will come again for you, someday. After a four-long year of hiatus, dubbed as the Kings of Kpop, South Korean boy group Bigbang surprises fans as they drop their newest single, “Still Life” under YG Entertainment last April 5, 2022. The multi-awarded 16-year-old boy group consisting of Kwon Ji-yong (G-Dragon), Kang Daesung, Choi Seung Hyun (T.O.P), and Dong Young Bae (Taeyang) had been out of the spotlight ever since their last official release “Flower Road” in 2018. They have been constantly facing either disbandment rumors or hinting at possible reunions for a new era.

When confronted with having too many problems to deal with and not being old enough to manage them, where does Gen-Z turn to? HUMOR. It was supposed to be funny, or so Jezza thought. It all started with a funny meme she found online that made her laugh her ass off on the floor, and […]

Embracing diversity, inclusivity, and humanity one haven at a time Many fantasize about facing the piercing eyes of a dragon or uncovering long-lost cities, but to people considered “weird” or “wrong,” a different tale exists. What a world it would be to simply live without having judgmental looks turned your way, without having others […]

Pre-pandemic, one may recall the memories of walking around the heart of the city, of hearing its roaring heartbeat from jeepney engines and enthusiastic vendors. Images of bright rugs and patterned dusters, of bottled gayumas and bead bracelets, unbranded phone cases and sizzling street food remain vivid. Cultural colors that paint the diligent, superstitious, and resilient lives of Filipinos.

Iloilo City, dubbed as “The City of Love,” has had its local artists turn the tides against the blank and mundane concrete structures into a maze of surprises. In almost every corner, every turn, a piece of an artist’s soul is hidden in its crevices as the Iloilo City Government’s mural project was initiated October of 2019 by Mayor Jerry P. Treñas. With over 20 mural pieces, they soak the walls in colour with their figures serving as a modern testament to the history of the Ilonggos. Each piece tells the story of the past and present to provide a gentle reminder of what the future could be.

Her silhouette reflected in the glass door as her body faced the soothing view of nature and sea combined. “What a beauty”, she thought yet was instantly distracted by the waste scattered just near the shore of the beach. She then saw a couple with three children and her thoughts promptly lingered into the future. […]

All children grow up being over the moon with colors. They use different kinds of colors—may it be red, blue, yellow, green, or violet but they seldom use black and white; simply because their minds become impulsive that those colors do not come in handy when coloring their canvass. WHITE HIGHLIGHTS CONTRAST One assumption that […]

The wind howled and the tree branches scraped the window of a little boy’s room. Huddled under the covers, he wished for the storm to be over—a little hope to fall asleep. Eyes shut, as the thunder rumbled and the rain fell heavily on the roof. A tall, hideous creature peeked through his closet door; […]
