Philippines November 2023 and Wakanda Forever
I went to the Philippines on the week of Thanksgiving, and it went by quickly. The food was great along with the lower price for pretty much everything compared to the U.S. Going from a bachelor lifestyle to a couple’s lifestyle is so different with just being with someone and having to behave considerately instead of selfishly. Going back to the bachelor lifestyle along with jet lag was an adjustment for sure, but thankfully, it will not be for very long. I expect December to go by pretty quickly, and January will be right there.
At the Philippines, me and my fiancé watched Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I just thought that it was okay, as I felt that it was too long, and there may have some Marvel fatigue as well. The costumes were great, but being a person who looks for characters, I thought that this movie left a lot to be desired. Many of the characters were a bit too similar for my taste, and I could not find any of the new characters to be particularly interesting or standouts. The movie overall looked great from a visual standpoint, but it did get hard to get invested in the story or characters.
I looked over my own work and wondered if my writing style is palatable for readers. I am my own worst critic, so any imperfection brings doubt to me that audiences will enjoy what I wrote. As much as some fear it, criticism from third parties is a good indicator of anyone’s work. It has helped me quite a bit, even if I did not want to read it.
