8 of My Favourite Feelings

Binge watching YouTube can lead you to many dark and dangerous places. My subscriptions are filled with the usual gaming highlights, magic tutorials, and cooking videos. One day the "recommended" section at the end of one of my videos had me listening to Hank Green talk about his favourite feelings. It got me thinking about my own favourite feelings, and I was surprised at my own personal preferences. It turns out that feelings you love don't have to be lovely, happy, or even empathetic. I decided to take a leaf out of Mr Green's book and have all my favourite feelings right here for you to read.

Two Dates. Two Films. Two Scores.

It turns out I have begun to realise that going to the movies is an expensive habit. Over the past two weeks of break I managed to catch over four different films, two of which were actually the same. 

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation was a solid 7/10 for me. Having gone for multiple viewings I am confident in my original critique that it was a basic Tom Cruise flick. The only thing I got out of the film was that IMF stands for Impossible Missions Force. While it was definitely a fun flick, the story seemed all too convenient for my own expectations of a spy movie. The plot moved along smoothly, but only because everything fell into place when it needed to. It was almost clinical. However, the brother, the lady friend, and the bro-friend all seemed to like this film little more than me, with each of them ranking it a star higher. All film is subjective I guess? 

"Hold on, the title says two films, but you've mentioned three? What are these two films?" 

Here are my reviews on Southpaw and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. 

Burger Burger Newmarket

Looking forward to seeing how the Burger Burger franchise is holding up. Although I prefer the OG Ponsonby outlet, this city joint isn't that bad. 

Ensemble? More Like, Assemble - Avengers: Age of Ultron Review

Despite getting this film a whole week before the states, I decided to wait a week before chugging out a review. Some might say I was just incredibly lazy, and they would be totally and utterly correct. All you need to do is just look at the timestamps between this and my previous post to understand how good I am at chugging out content. However, Avengers demands my attention since it is probably going to be the biggest film of the year. At least that's what I expect until Christmas comes. Superheroes, evil super robots, mindless action; it would seem impossible for me to dislike this movie. In actual fact, I do love this movie, but not as much as I thought I would. To know it all, here is my review for Avengers: Age of Ultron. 

"How do you hope to stop me?" 

A Poem for the Fourteenth

Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to dish out some poetry. I usually write something every year for this occasion, and yes I have written stuff for girls before. One instance in particular comes to mind. I like to think that she was so puzzled by my poetry that she was left speechless. 

Here's what happened. There was this girl that I really liked so I decided to tell her exactly how I felt. I wasn't sure how to do it, but since valentine's day was around the corner I decided to get her some chocolates, a necklace thingy, and write her a poem... 

"There was this girl..."  

This is a Thing - Indomie Burger

I used to be hopeless in the kitchen. Creativity and innovation were words that didn't correlate with the food part of my brain. It's true that I was able to fry an egg by the age of nine, and I was able to boil kettles of water at the earlier age of seven, but that was the extent of my abilities. It was only a matter of time before I arrived at the instant noodle phase. Yes, the phase of life where you discover the wonders of cup noodles and three minute miracles. However, you get sick of instant noodles. 

"Then everything changed when the fire nati- I mean, when I started using the internet..." 

With many years of training, and countless hours of practise and determination, I bring you the secrets to enlightenment. The true path: The Indomie Burger.

A New Season

It is amazing how fast we can change gears and move along into the new year. I mean it wasn't too long since we were busy singing carols and eating lots of ham. The season of christmas ends with christmas day. That has always been a bit of a downer to me. Why stop when the party had just started. I guess all festivities need to end at some point, what with the year ending and all that jazz. 

There are good things that come with endings and conclusions. Can you guess it? It's real cheesy, but with every ending we open doors for new beginnings. Unless you die... You can't really do anything once you're dead.
