The Bullet of Truth: Scribbling for a Change.

Fairy Godmother, Magic, Princess,  Prince Charming, Castle, Unicorn and Happily Ever After. Photo Credits to: Search Engine Journal (2021)       I was once a kid whose dream was to be with fantasy. A kid who wishes to fly far beyond. For I want to play with fluffy clouds and swim in the sky. Then, I will slide down the rainbow and wave to the leprechaun. Thus, I hope to explore the depths of the ocean. To which I believe to see a beautiful mermaid. I was once a kid who was a follower of magic. I was once a kid who played in a sunny world. I was once a kid.  Pushed, Shoved, Awakening, Insight and  Reality. Those who live in the sun are often pulled harshly toward midnight. Apparently, the stage is too hard on the young stars. I was just a kid, but I saw how it was. I experience it, rather. A daylight of darkness had pushed me to scribble. I scratched every word and sought comfort in the phrases. Each sentence was a breath of life given to me...

The Key to the Portals: A Wanderlust

 Photo credits to: TIME for Kids (2022)    I am an introvert. I love cuddling in my own world. I like being invisible to the eyes. I am invisible, which I do enjoy. People barely acknowledge my presence or get intimidated by me, bu not that does not bother me. I can sit alone in a dark room for hours, unafraid. Though, in those moments, I have a friend.

"Mama, why is that spinning?" "Ma, how did they teach the water to dance?" "Ma, what is the spikey thing doing there?" My mother apparently got tired of these questions. Therefore, she got me my first book. It was an encyclopedia, quite complex for a kid. However, I ...

Clinging Unto? Toxic

Horror? Served.  Tension? Well-catered. Concept?  Top-notched. Acting? Beyond on-point. Photo credits to: Facebook (2019)      The film directed by Eric Matti, in 2019 entitled Kuwaresma, follows a dystopic family which was haunted by the ghost of their youngest daughter. Though, in the course of mourning, secrets unfold. A shuddering one. The film was set in the 1900s, as supported by the color palette. Which was grainy and a bit of sepia. Although, the visibility of the film was well-maintained even in the dark. Hence, cinematography was one of its fortes. For it was able to encapsulate the beauty of the setting but still envelops an eerie feeling.  The camera work also highlighted the subtleness of the film. Such as the angle being slightly higher if the close-up was on the father, the separation of shots in a family dinner, the side perceptions of the camera, and the like. Moreover, it became the channel of the film to connect with and t...
