Review | MOMOL Nights on iWant (+ Book Recommendations!)

Movies Review The Writing Community July 14, 2019July 16, 2019 by tarafrejas

I’ve been noticing how iWant has been producing new and original streaming content for the past year, but it’s only this year I’ve actually tried watching them because Bagman was really good. I’ve yet to try John en Martian too, but last week, I was able to watch their latest offering, MOMOL Nights, which starred Kim Molina and …

Review | Sa Wakas, The Musical

Review Theatre February 14, 2017February 15, 2017 by tarafrejas

I’d been wanting to post a Sa Wakas review since its opening night, but time is rarely on my side lately, so that little thing got shoved into the backburner every single time. Now that the run is officially over (they closed last Sunday, February 12), I feel like I should at least try to articulate …

Review | Cover (Story) Girl by Chris Mariano

Review The Writing Community November 18, 2016November 18, 2016 by tarafrejas

1) She has amnesia. 2) She’s on the run from her father’s creditors. 3) She’s enjoying her last days on earth. Ever since Jang Min Hee walked into Gio’s small museum, she’s given him one excuse after another about why she’s vacationing at scenic Boracay Island. Rarely has Gio’s neat and organized world been shaken …

Review | The Bye-Bye Bouquet by Chi Yu Rodriguez

{ BOOK REVIEW + TOUR } Songs To Get Over You | Jay E. Tria

Reading Review February 29, 2016October 25, 2016 by tarafrejas

A heart that loves in a silent and steadfast way doesn’t usually get center stage in Filipino romance, but Tria focuses the spotlight on it with Songs To Get Over You. The novel shines with an entirely new repertoire of feels, mashed-up with a few pop culture nods (one of which only I apparently got, so far).

{ Book Review } Loveless. Childless. Clueless. | Miren B. Flores

Reading Review February 1, 2016October 28, 2016 by tarafrejas

The honesty that Loveless. Childless. Clueless. offers about long-term relationships, breakups, and the things that follow afterward is what makes this book a gem of a read. If this is a preview of what Flores’s fictional arsenal reads like, I’m here for more.

{ Book Review } Once Upon A Player | Agay Llanera

Reading Review January 24, 2016October 25, 2016 by tarafrejas

Once again, Llanera brought me into her well-crafted and relatable contemporary universe where athletes are celebrities and humans at the same time. Once Upon A Player is honest, raw, and real, delivering a mean spike to the heart at the right moments. Fudge it.

{ Book Review } Majesty | Jay E. Tria

Reading Review January 8, 2016October 25, 2016 by tarafrejas

With a narrative that holds you (and never lets go), and the voice of a pure heart that truly loved spilling beautifully throughout its pages, Majesty is a book I will definitely be picking up again, heartache be damned. Get your tissues ready, this one’s offering a storm of feels.

{ Book Review } The Boyfriend Backtrack | Dawn Lanuza

Reading Review January 5, 2016October 25, 2016 by tarafrejas

The Boyfriend Backtrack is the kind of fun read you would want to recommend to girlfriends who may (or may not) have a string of interesting exes to look back at over an afternoon cup of coffee. It reads like a lighthearted movie that has humor, a pretty soundtrack, and moments that’ll make you go “Oof, that kinda stings.”

{ Book Review } All’s Fair in Blog & War | Chrissie Peria

Reading Review January 2, 2016October 28, 2016 by tarafrejas

All’s Fair in Blog & War is a quick and light read for those who are looking for kilig in bite-sized (egg tart!) doses. Its easy-flowing narrative and cute character interactions make for an enjoyable read that makes you want to experience Macau just as Five and Jesse did.
