  1. Personally, nothing much has changed for me this month, but my habit of reading and watching movie has remained the same. However, personally, I am working on a personal project that relates to making a playable video game. I am hoping I can put some references of books and movies as little easter eggs as well.

  3. “Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

    One of the popular and beloved romance movie named ‘Eternal Sunshine’ released in 2004, has recently been re-released and I am strongly recommending this film that I watched just a few days ago.
    The movie starts with a love story between the couple named Clementine and Joel, and the film progresses by them fighting with each other and eventually ending up with erasing their shared memories using the high-tech technology. As the male character, Joel is in his way of erasing the memories that he had with his lover, Clementine, he suddenly decides to stop the erasing memory process, realizing the importance of keeping memories that he had with her, whether the memories are charming or not. At the end, the quote from Friedrich Nietzsche appears and it is “Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders” which is proved wrong by the story.
    The personal moral I have felt from the film was also knowing and acknowledging the preciousness of memories as our life progresses. I really recommend this film to all of you guys whoever wants to feel the sense of love and life.

    1. Jinsun, I watched this movie and loved it as well. It's truly a touching tale; imagine the sheer emotional pain of breaking up with someone you love, being angry enough to go through with a procedure to have all memory of your loved one erased from your mind, only to realize halfway through the process that you love them too much to forget them, that you love them too much to let them go...
      There's so much raw emotion right there!!
      Really explores the themes of love, memory, forgiveness, etc... beautiful movie.
