Disney•Pixar's Coco Hits Too Close to Home

Dale Palisoc November 10, 2017

We all loved Disney•Pixar movies for their outstanding storytelling, groundbreaking plots, and incredible animation. Every movie is great on its own. Who would have thought that a movie about talking marine animals could be a hit or a house filled with balloons can make us sob? Apparently, for the animation company, the sky is the limit. Nothing can stop them, not even death. This is proven true in their latest film Coco, based on the Mexican tradition Dia de las Muertos or Day of the Dead.

5 Burning Questions from Stranger Things 2

Dale Palisoc November 5, 2017

Loads of 80’s pop culture references, a small town conspiracy, and awesome story. Netflix definitely hit the jackpot in 2016 with its original series, Stranger Things. It grew a huge fanbase when it came out last year and it was a no-brainer that a sequel is very much warranted. In 2017, the Duffer Brothers brought back the gang and took the audiences to another adventure at the small town of Hawkins.

Netflix PH invited me to be among the very first in the country to enjoy Stranger Things season 2 weeks prior to its release. To say that I am a huge fan of the series is an understatement and to have this privilege was extra special! Upon receiving an access to the episodes, I binge-watched the season in 2 Days. Yes, slow for a nine-episode season but hey, I have a day job! With that said, here are the 5 burning questions that I had after watching Stranger Things 2.

(Beware: spoilers are up ahead. )

Dale Palisoc November 3, 2017

I’m at this point in my life where I should be carefree with my money. I have a regular job, I have some bills to pay, but also, I have my expenses for leisure. But sometimes, I tend to go overboard my budget. I can admittedly say that I am not as financially literate as I would want to become. Simple budgeting is not enough.

Breakout x St. Peter Life Plans for Death Care Week

Dale Palisoc October 19, 2017

“I am 25. I am at my prime and best health condition. Nothing is wrong with me. What could go wrong?”

Well, any millennial would think this way. I know, because I am one. The least of our concerns right now would be having a life plan. We share a common belief that this type of insurance is way too early for us to think about. If anything else, we would be getting a health or education plan first. But hold up, continue reading why you should also think about death care. It’s not going to be morbid, I promise. Here’s what I realized after the event by Breakout Philippines and St. Peter Life Plans.  Read more about Breakout x St. Peter Life Plans for Death Care Week …

Blade Runner 2049 Movie Review

Dale Palisoc October 10, 2017

Expectations are high for the 30-year-in-the-making sequel to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. The film was highly advanced for its time when it came out making it one of the tent poles of sci-fi films. Surprisingly, despite its smart plot and visually stunning imagery, it did not immediately receive the success it deserves. Unfortunately, it appears that the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, is experiencing the same. I, for one, is a fan of Denis Villeneuve’s work at the sequel, and let me list down some of the reasons why you should see Blade Runner 2049.
