I watch so many kdramas, but if I have to recommend one, it would be mother, which is actually a remake of a jdrama of the same name. I got so emotional watching this series; Literally on the edge of my seat! The watch was emotionally fulfilling (and spoiler alert: happy ending)!

I had not heard of this movie prior to seeing a clip of Julia Fox pulling it in her Criterion interview, and decided randomly to watch it this morning.
It articulates such a wide and deep and complex understanding of womanhood, motherhood, loyalty, grief, and identity.
Specific praise to the cinematography and to the set design.
Highly highly highly recommend.

A documentary film that just shows the complexity of family relationships (particularly mother-daughter relationships) and deals with loss and many other themes. 100% recommend!!

I just saw this movie based on true story of a woman who’s family is separated during a time in Brazil when the country was under military dictatorship.
It was devastating and beautiful.
it captured beautifully familial joy but also the pains of the reality outside their safe space.
I was amazed at Fernanda‘s portrayal in this role. The way she was able to play this character thats so strong yet on the precipice of bursting at any moment and doing her best to keep her family intact.
Also loved how they captured Rio and little bits of São Paolo (tho I’ve never been to the latter)
parts of this film reminded me of Motorcycle Diaries which I’ve just found out is directed by the same director as this film.
few other facts I found out about this film:
- the director grew up knowing this family the movie is based on and would frequent visits at their home in which they portray in the film.
- Fernanda (the lead actress) just won a golden globe for this role as Best Female Actor in Motion Picture which her mother won 25years ago. I teared up when I found that out.
- Fernanda’s mother is also in this role and plays the older version of Fernanda’s character.
this film made me cry multiple times throughout in and grew the ache that already exists inside me to go back to Brazil. last year in April I had the chance of visiting Rio and honestly fell in love with everything about it. it felt like home.
anyways. highly recommend watching this.

I don’t think this needs any explanation! I love her music and her voice is amazing. I recently went to her concert and I was surprised that I knew about 75% of the lyrics to her recent album. I NEVER know lyrics, including my own, so that’s how I knew I was a mega fan!

On my last week in LA back in February of this year, I asked my manager for food recommendations because I was tired of eating Panda Express and Dave’s Hot Chicken everyday. He recommended this place and quite honestly, I nearly chewed him out for not recommending it sooner! The bento box is so good (I always get Combo B) and the portion sizes are perfect! If you like Korean food, I highly recommend checking this place out!

(Not sponsored lol)! I saw this on Amazon and even though I definitely did not have the money to spend like that, I splurged a little. I absolutely LOVE it! I just draw random pixel art on it all the time and blast tunes through it! It also helps that it’s aesthetically pleasing!
