Our Times (Taiwan)

Via Amino AppsVia Amino AppsTaiYu gives Lin Truly the push she needs.

"Our times" follows office worker, Lin Truly, back to teenage years where she obsessively fawns over music idols, maneuvers through high school awkwardness and teams up with an unlikely classmate to help each other get what they want. Yes, this is a borderline a classic sappy movie about coming of age, but it is so good you would think you're the one living in the film.

The beauty inside (Korea)

"The beauty inside" follows a young man who falls in love with a furniture seller, but there's a catch. The young man's gender, language, height, race and overall appearance changes every time he wakes. Obviously, this is an odd premiss to create a film around, but it makes it all the more interesting.

Monsieur Lazhar (Canadian French)

Via FanrtoMr. Lazhar introduces himself.Via Fanrto

After a young student discovers her teacher's body in her classroom from an apparent suicide there instructor is soon replaced with an immigrant teacher named Monsieur Lazhar. Their new teacher helps the class heal while he balances his own personal issues. I remember watching this in high school and going through LOTS of emotions, but was it worth it? Absolutely.

The Wailing (Korea)

Via DcechettoNightmarish things plague this countryside village.Via Blog

All I can say about this film is...ooo chile. These characters go through HELL and I mean it. This Korean thriller/horror film follows Jong Goo a family man and rural police officer. As his mountain side village descends into hysteria following a string of murders and odd sicknesses he and a few others are forced to uncover the evil lurking beyond the mountains.

M (Germany)

Via GIphyThe murderer is branded.Via Giphy

Now this one's an oldie, but not at all any less intriguing than the rest. As the towns children begin to be target for heinous murders vigilante criminals and cops both hunt for the murderer as the town descends into madness.

Memories of Murder (Korea)

Via GiphyDetective Park looks for the murderer.Via Giphy

Frustrating to say the least, in 1980's rural Korea a small town is the target of the countries first recorded serial killer. Young women being at risk give a few clues as who may be assaulting and killing them, but is it enough for detective Park and detective Cho with lack of skill and technology?

Ponyo (Japan)

Via GiphyPrincess Ponyo in human form.Via Giphy

A childhood favorite of mine, Ponyo follows an adventurous goldfish princess who wants to become human. She meets a young boy, Sosuke, who befriends her, but much to Ponyo's fathers surprise such interaction is forbidden. Studio Ghibli always makes classics must I say more?

Train to Busan (Korea)

Via TumblrSeok Woo and his daughter try to escape the chaos around them.Via Tumblr

A blockbuster Korean film follows a divorced father, played by Gong Yoo, as he takes a train ride with his young daughter whom he has a distant relationship with. On that train ride it is revealed that a ravaging epidemic which turns citizens into zombies has plagued most of Korea. If you enjoy films like "World War Z" then this is the film for you.

S Diary (Korea)

Via TumblrJinny and Yu In in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.Via Tumblr

A single woman ponders about her past relationships and what went wrong. This films is both romantic and comedic and should definitely be added to your girls night movie list.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
