Dune (2021)

-

 Saw Dune on the Netflix catalog and finally watched it.

Beautiful imagery and immersive world-building. The film is 2 hours and 35 minutes long pero sobrang bitin when it ended.

This is how films based on books are supposed to be--you will enjoy and understand the story and lore, but you know you will be even more amazed if you read the books because the religion, politics, technology, and characters have so much more to offer.

I used to play Dune 2000 when I was a kid, and I enjoyed seeing the vehicles and buildings (the ornithopter, harverster, carrier, and silos) from the game.

I've read the first several chapters of Frank Herbert's Dune, and this film just made me promise to myself that I will finish reading the book.

Coldplay in Manila

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.

1. Iloilo 2. Cebu 3. Legazpi (because of how beautiful Mt. Mayon was) 4. Davao 5. Sorsogon 6. Lucena 7. Butuan Ranking is purely based on personal experience. I know I missed out on a lot of things these cities could offer because, you know, I was there for work and only went sightseeing after work hours. Really grateful for a job that sends me to these beautiful places.
