MOVIE REVIEW | The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist (2016)

The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist (2016)

Quick Notes: Highly recommended for thrill seekers, but not for the faint of heart. Do not watch the film alone or when in the dark. The movie is going to give you some serious mental nightmares for a week. You won't be able to turn off the lights at night.

And watch this movie at the cinema. Promise, it's worth the money!

BOOK | Call Me Tsundoku

Call Me Tsundoku

I have this habit of going to the thrift book shop and rummage through interesting books. I don't usually have budget to spend on expensive paper backs. I either borrow or just go to the nearest library.In SM shops, there is a store called "Booksale" that sells previously owned books and I became fond of visiting the shop whenever I pass by. Today was no exception, and I got myself some cool French books.

JOURNAL | Early Parent-Child Bonds Key To Good Adult Relationships

Early Parent-Child Bonds, Key To Good Adult Relationships

Key Terms: parent-child bond, behavior, child rearing, divorce, domestic discord, online therapy

This research reveals that early parent-child bond has significant albeit non-conclusive impact to good adult relationships. Specifically, attachment between the mother and child during the early stages of life can influence a child's behavior indicating that infants who are securely attached to their mothers or caregivers tend to learn to trust and count on to the adult, and later becomes independent when they reach toddler ages.

JOURNAL | Thoughts Running Through My Mind On a Thursday Evening

Thoughts Running Through My Mind On a Thursday Evening

Sometimes I also ask what kind of blogger am I? Certainly not a travel blogger since I do not travel very often. Not also food blogger because I'm not fond of eating. Not even fitness nor movies... of course I do touch a little bit of this and that, but I can't really say which kind I am. I've been reading a lot online that successful blogs should have a focus. But perhaps that's exactly what I am- a no-focus blogger, if there is such a thing. It's just that everything is too general, and I find it challenging to center my posts into one topic.

The Anatomy of An Online Sensation, Security Officer - Je Olivar

CORPORATE | Human Resources Functions

Human Resources Functions

When we talk about Human Resources or HR, we seem to have a general understanding of what an HR personnel really does. Certainly he works by hiring people to a company, but is that all to it?
