We saw the bad guys vs good guys plot countless times before. It even got to a point where it’s already tiring. But when you use talking LEGO and dress them as ninjas, I bet you’d be a little intrigued at the very least. Last Sunday, The Little Binger attended the advanced screening of The LEGO Ninjago Movie in Glorietta and had a great time! Read my review:‬

Do you remember the last time a movie came out and faced such harsh criticisms? On top of my head was The Da Vinci Code. When it came out in 2006, the church reacted to it that it received an R18 rating in the Philippines! This year, Darren Aronofsky’s mother! has been unfairly bashed by critics and audiences alike! Others are even calling it one of the worst movies of the recent years. I understand where they are coming from but I am obsessed about the film and let me tell me why you should put the film into your consideration.

Most millennial nowadays are crazy about the newest Netflix teen-drama, Riverdale. It is a loose adaptation of the hit comic book Archie. Teen romance, family drama, and mystery fill the show, making it easy for everyone to fall in love with it. But aside from the series’ interesting plot, people are also crazy about its aesthetics. Particularly, by the neon lit-retro signage at Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe.

Ibong Adarna's ensemble cast

REVIEW: Ballet Manila’s Ibong Adarna

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Ibong Adarna is a staple reading requirement among high school students. It is about the hunt for the elusive bird with magical healing properties. Truly, a classic. To push for Ballet Manila’s advocacy to ‘bring ballet to the people and bring people to ballet,’ they adapted the lore to kick off the 22nd performance season of the dance company. Entitled Flights of Fantasy, the season will feature familiar narratives on stage.

Solo Backpacking in Baguio Day 2

After my  first night  in Baguio, I woke up early the following day to continue exploring the City of Pines.

There are jeepneys headed to Mines View Park at the plaza. I timed my arrival before dawn to capture great photos of the place. I may have arrived way too early as some shops are still closed but at least there are still few visitors. I passed through several shops before I  got to the lagoon. Mines View Park may be Baguio’s most famous tourist attraction. Visitors can stand on the cliff while overlooking the community below and marvel at the vast mountainscape of the region. It’s nowhere near the Kiltepan experience but the view can still take one’s breath away.
