  • Masquerade Hotel film... 180

    Masquerade Hotel is a long waited film by me. I looked it up all over the place (that being the Internet), but couldn't find it until one day when I just stumbled across it by mistake. I don't even remember what I was looking for, chances are I was randomly browsing films hoping to find something to watch when there it was. I did not hesitate and hit play immediately.  One major reason why I wanted to watch this film is Takuya Kimura who plays the detective Kosuke Nitta. I first saw Takuya Kimura in

  • Diary of J. Long Distance Relationships.... 193

    A while ago I said I am thinking of re-writing / translating / whatever some of my previous dear diary posts. Well, here I am, this is the first one. But before I go into my experience with long distance relationships and how I view them, the photo you see on this post is taken by Mathyas Kurmann. A few years ago, back when I was in high school I kind of wound up

  • Julie & Julia... 185

    Once in a while I go through all the films some of the actors I like have been in and pick one to watch. Usually I read the synopsis, check the ratings and if everything looks good to me, I dump the film on my watchlist. The films can stay on my watchlist for months before I actually watch them, and some I remove without even bothering to try and watch.  I don't know why I do that. Maybe some of them sound interesting to me when I first find them, but I'm not in the mood wh

  • The big cycle of procrastination... 187

    (Almost) No one is unfamiliar with this word, but for the sake of it and because I really like the dictionary format, I'm copy/pasting the definition a few paragraphs below.  People sometimes get frustrated and upset with their procrastinating habits, and they turn to the big ol' Internet for tips and tricks on how to stop procrastinating. For me there seems to be only one thing that actually works, but first let's see what procrastination is and how the Internet suggests to combat it.  procrastination NOUN; [prə(ʊ)ˌkrastɪ

  • The Agency series by Ada Maria Soto... 178

                 There are those type of novels where you read the synopsis and think to yourself, hmm, this sounds interesting, action filled, funny, maybe cute, and you go read it expecting that. Only that you start reading and the novel is nothing like you expected it to be.  That being said, if you don't already know anything about this series I encourage you to not read my 'review' and go straight to reading the series.

  • Haircut? Yes!... 189

    Back in March, actually even before that, I decided to let my hair grow. I've had long hair before, I quite like it, and sometimes when I have short hair I think hmm, I would like me some length. So that was my plan. Straightforward, easy, literally no effort. Only it didn't go as I was expecting it to: me just doing whatever it is I do and then, bam, nice long hair. The hair is there and it lets you know it is there. I managed to let it grow for a few months and then I went to a hair saloon a day after I

  • Antique BL movie... 186

    I can't believe I didn't write about this movie here. I was so sure I did, but no. I checked, I double checked.  Antique is one of my absolute favourite BL films. I watched it when there weren't that many BL films available for me and that probably had something to do with why I liked it so much. Who knows. I had it on my laptop for a while, along with other of my favourites, and re-watched it I don't even know how many times. Even now I wouldn't mind a re-watch.  I like to describe this movie as funny, cute, and painful. The tone is set from the very start, you fully know what you are getting into.

  • me before you... 308

    Acum câteva luni am dat din greșeală de trailerul filmului Me Before You și mi-a plăcut atât de mult Emilia Clarke, râsul ei molipsitor, că am decis să văd filmul cu prima ocazie, ceea ce am și făcut.  Înainte să-mi înșir părerile și impresiile cu privire la acest film, trebuie neapărat să menționez că Me Before You este un film bazat pe cartea cu același nume scrisă de Jojo Moyes. Uitându-mă acum peste profilul autoarei pe goodreads, am aflat că există și o a doua carte, After You, ceea ce mă face să spe
