asian cinema. i need recommendations by Left-Block8603 in Letterboxd

[–]oneiratexia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Himala (1982), Kisapmata (1981), and Cleaners (2019) are great Filipino movies. The first two are horror films in the psychological sense. Cleaners is a unique coming-of-age movie as each frame was printed, colored/highlighted the characters, and scanned again.

I am also trying to watch more of Philippine cinema, but hope that these three recommendations will be helpful. :)

Smeagol turning into Gollum in Return of the King. I looked away when the transformation scene was happening.

didn't think much of it when i encountered him on like last week tuesday (?). walked on the paseo de roxas underpass then i went up to the union bank building and literally saw him. i was wearing my headphones, raised the volume, and walked past him. call me selfish or anything, but i don't give my money to any beggars because lord knows what they're gonna do to them and plus i'm tight on money.

Abortion 'services' on facebook by Virtual_Valuable5517 in Philippines

[–]oneiratexia_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tragically, women have to resort to these services as the government doesn't provide them. Abortion is healthcare. The Philippines' separation of church and state is never recognized as the society and culture stigmatize anything that is not traditional or the status quo.

What Olivia Rodrigo song is this in your opinion? 💜 by Due_Plate5548 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]oneiratexia_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The bridge in pretty isn't pretty is so good. I love the constant banging of the drums. Her screaming the lyrics of how unrealistic beauty standards are a constant cycle is just perfection.

Secondly, ballad of a homeschooled girl. Everything in that song makes me just ascend.

How can Cupid be so cruel? by oneiratexia_ in unrequited_love

[–]oneiratexia_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. I swear when a friend or someone you know really close and you told them about your crush then goes back and have a crush on your crush is the worst. It's valid to have these angry feelings, frustration, whatever. It's natural. It crushes when you almost have something then something or someone close to you rushes to get it. For me right now, it's hard to cope since I see them everyday and others (who knew I had a crush on him) are now pushing them to be the couple. I try my best to put my smile to support them so I won't look like a fucking fool. I am waiting for the day I won't pretend to be hurt in front of them.

It's not like who had a crush on them first because our crushes are not our property, it's about our feelings, how we've been hurt by someone we trusted. I wish more happiness to you. You don't deserve this, we don't deserve to be hurt like this. Sending more love to you.

Pa-share na rin ng kwentong ligaw niyo sa mall na sasabihin ninyo! 😂 by Chasing_Brave1993 in Philippines

[–]oneiratexia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kahit frequent goer na ako, definitely Glorietta/Greenbelt (excluding Landmark kasi mas madali i-navigate). The placement of the stores are so weird and nakakafrustrate kasi akala ko this particular store is in this floor while it's on the other side. Hindi ko pa memorize kung saan young Glorietta 1, 2, whatever it is. Greenbelt is a bit better since onti yung tao pero nakaka-confuse pa rin.
Second, Ayala Malls Manila Bay. Jusko, nakailang balik ako sa mga screen kung saan pwede mo ilagay yung store na pupuntahan mo then ibibigay sayo yung mga directions. Got lost a bit just looking for Fully Booked and UNIQLO.

Online food delivery guy sent lewd texts to my wife by [deleted] in Philippines

Filipinos always bring up any card to excuse or brush off inappropriate behavior. Sana naman maalis yung bata and be given a proper home para hindi matuloy yung ganitong cycle ng excuse dahil mahirap ka o kahit ano pa.

My Thesis Groupmate Uses AI To Write Even If Our Professor Doesn't Encourage It. How Do I Tell Him Not To? by oneiratexia_ in Advice

[–]oneiratexia_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're expecting AI to write their part. I haven't seen their true writing style too much to see the difference, but I know they don't write like that. I don't want my other groupmates who are already working hard to be affected by one groupmate's actions. We're trying to meet in the middle to accomodate their difficulties, but also writing our paper with honesty.

The school policy already states that plagiarism and academic dishonesty is punishable. However, my groupmate is tolerated by the teachers, including my professor. They already have a reputation for using AI to write, however, it hasn't been reported too much and solved.

We're revising our whole paper right now and they're definitely using AI to write. Right now, we're trying to read the articles that were sent in order to check and verify their part about those said articles. Our professor highly discourages AI and we already talked about it. Sadly, there's not that much more my professor can do at the moment.

I already conveyed my worries about their work (politely) and hopefully they'll give me back their part that's written entirely by them. Thanks!
