THE YOU-POINT OF VIEW




Hello there!

Guess who just finished watching XO, Kitty? Yes, meee!

I know it's an old movie, but I have this thing for watching movies only after everybody has stopped talking about them. I swear it’s not intentional, it just feels nicer that way for me.

Back to the movie. I’m utterly thrilled by the storyline! In less than a week, I finished both seasons, that’s how intense it was. Trust me, even though I was giddy throughout, I still made sure to engage my mind beyond what was shown on the surface.

The highlight of the movie was basically the main character flying across the world to:

1. Meet the love of her life


2. Find out more about her mom



While task one was all kinds of complicated, she excelled at task two. She not only discovered more about her mom, but she also found herself in the process of uncovering the past. And this made so much sense, because the past is a valuable part of what shapes us. It shouldn’t be discarded or forgotten, but rather embraced and reinvented anew.

The scriptwriter literally blew my mind. However, when I first started watching and made a WhatsApp post about it, I got a couple of negative spoiler alerts, warning me not to watch season two because it was "total trash." And guess what? I still watched it and I was blown away! I actually found it even more exciting.

To think that, for a moment, I was hesitant to watch season two because of other people's opinions is crazy. This reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend a few days ago. I was telling him how different things appeal to different people because we’re not all the same.

It's okay to be over the moon about something that someone else sees as fleeting. Your opinion is what makes you unique. Oftentimes, your authenticity lies in how awkwardly different your perspective is compared to the next person.

Dearest reader, it’s grand to discover the truth for yourself. I got so much from season two, the one that was supposedly "total trash" according to some people. Now imagine if I had taken their advice and skipped it. I would have missed out on all of it!

"NOT ADMITTED"

She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
