It was brutally suppressed with a massacre of 600 to 2,300 people killedâthough the South Korean government claims that itâs only 170.

But I have to be honest, Iâm lagging behind my GoodReads Challenge. Anyway, without further ado, here areâŚ

âHow long will I live my life afraid of what-ifs?â
First off, is it only me or does anyone else remember that vine, âtwo bros, chilling in a hot tub, five feet apart âcause theyâre not gayâ because of the title? Kidding aside, the novelâs main topic is no joke.

âMaybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you thereâs a tomorrow. Maybe for you thereâs one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us thereâs only today. And the truth is, you never really know.âÂ

The Self-Destructive Culture that Keeps Filipinos Poor
I know that this will be a controversial topic, but this needs to be said. There is a lot of things to love about the culture of the Filipino people. But there also negative sides even when you donât consider it as negative.
We, as Filipinos, pride ourselves in family relationships. We have a strong sense of filial piety, and there is nothing wrong with putting your family first. One thing toâŚ

My Rating: 9.6/10 (A+) âââââ
We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited.
I was browsing through my favorite bookstore when I saw a copy of Born A Crime. I found the title and the description on the back to be interesting. I added it to my wishlist that I might pick it up if IâŚ

My Top 10 Reads of 2018
My Top 10 #Books of 2018
I pledged on my Goodreads account to read 40 books this year. I managed to finish 45 books. This is the time of the year where I go back to my most favorites. I loved many of the books I read this year. I only hated three of the 45, to be honest. So being in the Top 10 is an honor. Any of these books can be my most favorite of all time; so being at a particular number doesnât really mean anything.

AQUAMAN: A Vivid Spectacle
AQUAMAN: A Vivid Spectacle @aquamanmovie
The DCEU has always been under the shadow of the MCU over the last decade for its films being a hit or miss. I personally am not a fan of superhero films. But, I do watch them when I feel itâs worth watching. And, let me tell you now: Aquamanâs worth it.
Aquaman is directed by James Wan and stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Nicole Kidman, and Temuera Morrison.

Book Review: "What If It's Us" by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
âI believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe, all of it. But not how youâre thinking. I donât mean it in the our souls were split and youâre my other half forever and ever sort of way. I just think youâre meant to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path.â
