One Month and Three Weeks

-
Apologies for the delayed update on this blog. I've been completely cut off from cyberspace for over a month, which is why I'm only sharing this now.

A lot has happened during this time, and I might write about some of those experiences while others will have to wait for another occasion.

Ironically, despite acquiring a second-hand computer with my earnings from a paluwagan, I haven't been able to write much. Wondering why? Well, let me explain.

I managed to purchase the computer from a friend who works as a computer technician. For 15 grand, I got a package deal that included an LCD monitor, a multi-media speaker system, a spacious computer table, and all the programs I wanted, including games. Since it was my friend's personal computer, I knew it was in good condition. It was definitely worth the investment.

Now, you'd think having a new computer would make writing easier for me, right? Well, here's the catch.

When you have a plethora of games installed on your PC, it's incredibly easy to get distracted. I've been caught up in trying to beat high scores in games like Family Feud, Rocket Mania, and Text Twist. I know these games may not be as impressive as Dota or other popular titles, but hey, cut me some slack—I enjoy playing them!

Among the most underappreciated and ill-treated creatures on Earth are undoubtedly ants and mosquitoes. Ants embody the ideals of hard work and commitment.

Even when faced with adversaries thousands of times their size, ants courageously defend their colonies. If an ant happens to bite us, it pays the ultimate price with its life. It matters not whether the bite was an act of self-defense. The ant bites, we feel the sting, and we crush its life away. Such is the way of things, it seems. For a humble creature like an ant, the due process holds no relevance. Mosquitoes face a similar fate. Every creature possesses the innate instinct to nourish itself. For mosquitoes, blood serves as their sustenance. It is not the mosquito's fault that it feeds on blood; it is merely the way it was created. The mosquito remains oblivious to the dis...

Here we have another movie adaptation of a book, which seems to be the prevailing trend these days. Sometimes I ponder why anyone would bother buying a book when a movie version is soon to follow. A friend of mine has a habit of watching the movie first and then reading the book for comparison. I advised her not to bother because, more often than not, the book always surpasses the movie. Watching a movie based on a book is like witnessing someone else's interpretation of the story, and that someone has to alter the context significantly. It's understandable since Hollywood has its limitations, unlike the boundless realms of our imaginations. The film's producers can't faithfully replicate the book word for word due to constraints of budget and time. So here's my advice to you: If you're a fan of the book, stick with it. Don't expect the movie version to capture the essence of the book exactly as it is. I've been disappointed multiple times by this, parti...
