DIARY ENTRY: 10.10.20

10.10.2020

Greetings, everyone!

I’m a beginner at thinking about contents for this blog that I created but then I realized that it’s really okay to just write about anything and everything. And so, here I am!

It’s been a long time but how has it been on your end these days? I hope you, who is reading this, is doing okay or that you’re at least hanging on. It’s totally okay to just hang on, you know? There’s nothing wrong with just getting by day to day until you find the things that you want to do. 

 For me, I find that these days seem to go too slow. When I take naps in the afternoon, what felt like hours of sleep, was actually only an hour (a bit disappointing really)... As I browse through the web, it’s as if the minutes have totally slowed down for me. 

But I hope it’s not like that for everyone. It’s really difficult to find things to do especially since we are experiencing a pandemic right now, but I hope that you can keep searching for what can motivate you. It’s a tedious process but apparently, its worth it. 

As of now, I’m trying to do the same. I’m in a rut these past few days. It’s as if I’m in this small boxed container and I can’t do anything but suffocate while being inside it. Plus, the people around me, aren’t exactly... *silence* HAHAHA Anyways, I think maybe that’s the reason why time seems to go much more slowly. If you have any ideas for getting yourself back up again, I hope you can tell me! 

Sincerely yours,  MS

MOVIE REVIEW: 365 Days

06.09.2020 Greetings, everyone! Welcome and thank you for taking time in opening and reading through my blog. For today, I’m going to do a movie review regarding the recently released movie, 365 Days. Feel free to read along!  The movie stars Michele Morrone and Anna Maria Sieklucka, as their main leads. 365 Days is a Polish movie that, at first glance, would seem similar to American Movie Trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey. However, this is not the case with its overall plot and story progression.  The movie centers around the individuality and relationship that will be formed between a rich business tycoon and a sales manager. Massimo (portrayed by Michele Morrone) was initially an heir to his father’s business and fortune until he inherits them when an unfortunate accident meets his father. Laura (portrayed by Anna Maria Sieklucka), comes into the picture when Massimo suddenly kidnaps her after having fancied her one day. He then gives her 365 days to fall in love with him, lest he lets her go [hence, the title of the movie].  The movie follows the relationship that forms between them through the series of arguments and teasing from both parties. The female protagonist can be praised for her resilience until halfway of the movie. Her change before the (almost) 2-hr movie ends, was to be expected, but that doesn’t make her character less appealing. You just gotta love her “strong and independent woman” aura and her wonderful relationship with her best friend. The actress’ beauty should also be commended since it does bring life on the character of Laura. Meanwhile, the male protagonist has a controlling, alpha male nature, which possibly came from his background. Still, like most male protagonist, he looses his wits when it comes to matters concerning the female protagonist, which would’ve been more adorable were his nature not too controlling about the situations that happen.  The movie in its entirety can be rated with 4 stars, at most. The cinematic components of the movie [especially their ball scene] were wonderfully shot and the characters were well-portrayed by the actors. It should be noted that some scenes can be quite overwhelming for a young audience [it is for mature audience after all] but overall, it’s a good movie with a decent plot. Hopefully, a second installment is in the works.  Want to watch the movie? It’s available on Netflix!  Sincerely yours,  MS Note: This blog post contains my personal objective view regarding the movie. It does not, in any way, mean to patronize or bring harm to anything or anyone specially the work of artists.

I really like writing about different things so my blog is actually not focused in any areas.  I do love making recommendations on movies, series, anime, or manga to watch, though! So if you’re a reader who’s scrolling through Tumblr for something to watch and read, do stay tuned to my blog!  If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments, feel free to drop them! I look forward to our future days together!~ Sincerely yours, MS
