First APLlogy

Greetings from the East!

For those who have read/seen/heard of my last blog page at Tumblr as Makeagoodexcuse, hello again! And for those who happened to be new, welcome!

So a few months ago, I decided that I wanted to redirect my blog to something more informative, entertaining, and worth reading.  I’ve had so many other Tumblr accounts for the past 7 years, and my longest running blog was my last one which I used for 4 years. I launched it back when I was in senior high school, I was actually just a few months before graduating at that time and it became my main blog till I finally graduated college last May 2017.

Makeagoodexcuse.tumblr.com has been home for me, it had all my college memories and it has every bit of my life published there so naturally I feel nostalgic and sentimental about having to let it go today. But like the saying goes when one door closes, another door opens (or something like that).

My blog redirection process includes more than what's written on it, I decided that if I was to redirect my way of blogging, I must and I shall do a complete overhaul, which in marketing terms you could call "re-branding."

The reason behind this new page is that I want to be able to enhance my writing skills by giving more life to the contents of my future blogs. I love telling stories and I love sharing my experiences to people, in fact, that’s the reason why I even started my own blog in the first place, and this is just a new space for me to do all that, only with better grammar and more sense.  

So welcome to APLlogy! Where I will try my best to post a blog at least once a week, it may be about my personal experiences, spoken word poetry, travel (Whenever I get the chance to travel), Movie & TV Show Reviews, and pretty much anything under the sun. To stick to my  tradition I will still be accepting requests, suggestions, comments, and violent reactions for any posts at any point in time, and since I am not familiar with this blogsite, it’s best to leave all your messages at my new ask.fm account, ask.fm/APLlogy.

Thank you for your time and again, Welcome to APLlogy, where an APL a day keeps the doctor away (not really, but yeah)!

To Unlove — The Impossible

For most, whenever they get their hearts broken, they would often think that the only way to move on is to forget and to unlove. Personally, I do not believe in the concept of "unloving" someone. I've always been a firm believer that if you were able to unlove someone, it means you never truly loved them. Love transforms in different ways and can be found in different forms. You can definitely move on, but if love is real, you can never unlove.  Think about it for a moment. Think about the person you were in love with, someone you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with but ended up crying over. Were you really able to unlove them? Or did your love changed its form from romantic love to affectionate love or selfless love? What I learned about moving on is that they key to it is acceptance. We accept the reality that we fought the love we thought we deserved but it just wasn't meant for us. The memories will never disappear. It will come every now and then w...

"We accept the love we think we deserve"

You can hear a quote a million times in a single lifetime but not truly understand what it means until you've finished an entire bottle of wine, and it hits you. Just like that. It's probably the wine over exaggerating everything right now, but at this point, who cares?  My sister was watching the Perks of Being a Wallflower on Netflix while I was busy talking to someone I met online. So, I was on a video chat with this girl who happened to be too occupied to have a decent conversation with me. It was a random moment when I heard Paul Rudd say "we accept the love, we think we deserve." I didn't even know that quote came from that book, I literally had to search it on google just to make sure.  So anyway, it was at that moment that I realized what the quote meant for me. You see, I recently went through a break up that I never thought I could ever get over. I'm not saying I'm over it a hundred percent, but I am better, and I know that I'm doing bette...

PILI PELIKULA: Last Night (Spoilers Ahead)

Hauntingly Beautiful  - this is how I would describe Bb. Joyce Bernal's film,  Last Night , starring Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga. I won't say it's perfect but in most aspects, it had the perfect elements to create something unconventional for Philippine cinema and its audience. The moment I saw the trailer I was instantly hooked and intrigued, and yes, it took me a while before I was finally able to watch the film, but since its first week I've already started hearing comments about it: On my side of the wall (newsfeed) most of what I read are positive reviews, but I guess it's because many of my friends are movie buffs so their views would be a little bit similar to mine. On the other hand, the other side of the wall seem to have heard a lot of bad reviews. I only got to read full blown reviews after watching the film because I was trying to avoid spoilers. So without further ado, here's every bit of thought I had about the film: First of all, the m...
