Hi! Does anybody knows where to contact Noise when you're having problem with your wallet? Last week, I haven't been so active because I was busy at school and as far as I remember, my wallet has $0.54 but when I checked it the other day it says that I need to backup my wallet and when I did my remaining balance of $0.54 was gone. What happened? Can anyone help me?

Yesterday night, my best friend said that I'm articulate in explaining things and thus, he wants to know what do I think about Roosevelt's quote which is: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Your future is in your hands; all you have to do is believe in yourself that you can achieve your life goals; all you have to do is keep dreaming until that dream becomes a reality. This could be associated with how passionate a person can be. For example, those college graduates who haven't yet settled into a stable job because, aside from a lack of job opportunities in our country, most students don't like the course they choose, which will affect their future, passion, and dreams. When you are forced to choose a path that does not align with what you truly love, it is difficult to achieve your dreams or see the beauty in it. And to do so, you must not only believe in the beauty of your dreams but follow that beauty, and you will reach what lies ahead. I do not think that I had a good take or answer but it made me ponder if I'm doing what I had just said.

Yesterday, I went to my cousin's house to walk the dog and we actually didn't go far nor didn't do much yet I stayed there for 3 hours. When it was almost getting dark, my cousin told me that I should go home because the sun is setting. I chose to walk along boulevard beach on my way home, there was a lot of people because we had a surfing competition at our town which lasted for three days and yesterday was the awarding day. I didn't expect that there would still be a lot of people and I'm so nervous to pass through them because I always had this anxiety when I walk among the crowd except, if I have my friends with me. But guess what calmed me down and inspired me to take these beautiful photos? It was music; when I listened to my favorite song, I imagined myself in a music video, and the people around me didn't matter. I was listening to Romantic Sunday by Car, the Garden, which I was fond of at the moment because I was watching Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, and it also happened to be Sunday. When we think we can't do it because of our fear, we just need to hold on to things that make us happy and remind us that our existence is just as important as anyone else's, and that we deserve to walk alongside them, smile, and enjoy our moment. #Photography

My classmate, who is a film enthusiast, told me about The Pianist in 2018. I had also seen some reviews about this film is one of the best; of course, I wanted to watch it, but for some reason, it remained on my watchlist for years until another film geek, who happens to be my best friend, insisted that I must watch it, which I finally did last night. First and foremost, the cinematography and camera movements captivated me the most; some shots moved backward towards us and from right to left as if we were gradually losing our hands to help a helpless man and all we could do was watch him do his own thing to survive. The moment that Szpilman cried when he tried to help a little boy who sneaked through the small opening on the wall and was beaten up by Nazi soldiers made me realize that this is why people during the war tried to avoid helping each other because when they can't do enough, they feel responsible for what had happened to that person and as much as it hurts to think about, I can't imagine how it was for the people especially Jews during that Holocaust. Also, I was impressed by how profound and detailed the film was in depicting Szpilman's struggle for survival in the face of oppression. On the other hand, the scene in which Szpilman plays the piano for a Nazi officer had me crying from the beginning of that scene until the end of the film. You can feel that Szpilman's playing his untold emotions throughout the war which also resonates with Chopin's loneliness during the war, surprisingly, as a pianist who was barely surviving, he played it well. This movie depicts human perseverance in the face of death, as well as a tribute to the power of music and the human will to live. Finally, I'd like to point out that Adrien Brody did an excellent job portraying his character. It's been a long time since I've felt this way towards a film. I miss it, and I thank this movie for making me feel this way again; I'll probably watch it again in a year or so. #RandomThoughts

Hi, we had a small walk today but Pepper gets tired immediately. She's quite chubby for her age and she haven't had a child yet that's why we treat her as our baby.

Last Thursday, Taylor Swift finally released her re-recorded album which is Red (Taylor's Version). As a Swiftie, All Too Well (10 Minute Version) and the other songs from The Vault is what I have been waiting for my whole life and I can't stop listening to it, I'm addicted to it. Taylor is giving us so much more, she's spoiling us. I'm happy for her and I will always root for her. I just can't stop singing to the new added lyrics of All Too Well (10 Minute Version). The short film is also superb, I can't stop crying while watching it ಥ‿ಥ Stream Red (Taylor's Version), All Too Well: A Short Film, and I Bet You Think About Me ❤️ #RandomThoughts

Hello! For our midterm project, we were required to make any fish or shellfish dish, so I prepared Camaron Al Ajillo. There is only one ingredient missing, and that is parsley, which we don't have in our town. This project is also the reason I've been so busy over the last few days and haven't posted anything. Anyway, everyone have a good night xx

Squid Game: A Character Review & A Story of Friendship (Part 3) Finally, after much prodding, she gets Sae-Byeok to open up. She melts what she previously referred to as "Sae-Byeok's coldness" and, with warmth, Sae-Byeok's tears unfreeze and fall down. Ji-yeong is helping her by expressing emotions, confronting her feelings, and regaining her humanity. But why does Ji-yeong feel the urge to make Sae-Byeok want and hope? for two reasons. First, she's been intending on sacrificing herself for Sae-Byeok from the beginning of the game. From telling Sae-Byeok she'll make sure she wins, to letting her go first when they eventually roll their marbles, Ji-yeong makes calculated moves to set the stage for her sacrifice. She convinces Sae-Byeok to agree to a one-round game early on in their conversation, and she needs to assert this. The second reason Ji-yeong nurtures Sae-Byeok's ability to dream is that she wants her sacrifice to have significance; that is, she wants Sae-Byeok to have a full life; that she wants to give Sae-Byeok a reason to live and a reason to hope. Sae-Byeok has a glimmer of hope and thus the elements for healing, and Ji-yeong recognizes this and seeks to help Sae-Byeok in doing so. Also, Ji-yeong is so hostile to religion. The false virtue of a deeply religious person has played a major role in harming her and, worse, killing her. Yes, in her mind, she's already dead, but it's not too late to save her. She's worth so much. She's smart, empathetic, funny, and her smile is full of life, but society around her offers her no support. It's highly focused on material things, on the cold, callous race for She does end up in the game, but it makes no difference to her because she is already dead. She doesn't enter the game desperate to escape her debt; not that she wouldn't like to, but she doesn't care about winning that much, which distinguishes her from everyone else in the competition; she's in the game because someone handed her a calling card when she exited prison, so she joins the game because she has nothing else to do, nowhere else to go, and no one to go to. However, within the game, she understands that, while feeling empty on the inside, she may be able to help someone else. Ji-yeong is completely devoid of hope when she joins the game, but the prospect of aiding Sae-Byeok gives her reason to hope again, however fleetingly. Ironically, Ji-yeong finds purpose in her life through this game that appears so terrifying to all of the participants who are seeking to win the money. She sees no use in living; she feels there is nothing left for her in the world, but only by dying for Sae-Byeok can she regain her self-worth. Ji-yeong has most likely been suicidal for a long time, yet suicide is an empty death. It's illogical, but this death is meaningful. Because the marble game requires one of two people to die, her death is genuinely selfless, or as near to selfless as a person can get. Ji-yeong's death is genuinely selfless via her earnest desire to connect with Sae-Byeok and her honest manner in doing so. Sae-Byeok's gift of her name is a gesture she makes to signify her trust, which Ji-yeong joyfully wins. It's not the first time Sae-Byeok gives her name away in the show; she also gave it to Gi-Hun, and it makes Ji-yeong's reaction all the more lovely.

Hello everyone! This is my dog named Bolt, she's a Japanese Spitz and he doesn't like being in front of camera so I just stole a picture of him. He's an obedient dog, when he wants to eat, we say "pray" and then he sits. He doesn't bite and he loves playing and running around. Bolt is happy to meet you all!

Good evening! I took this photo yesterday when we were at the Vacation House of my cousin's co-worker.

Squid Game: A Character Review & A Story of Friendship (Part 2) She does, however, have a desire to connect with Sae-Byeok, with whom she attempts cordial engagement. Ji-yeong's promise that she'll make sure Sae-Byeok wins implies that her aims aren't to win or survive, but rather to connect with Sae-Byeok, whom she wants to be her partner. There is a level on which these two women need each other. By joining together, they can avoid exposing themselves emotionally to the rest of the participants, and since neither of them wants to plead for someone who can partner with them, they won't seize upon each other's flaws if they are revealed. The implication here, of course, is that Ji-yeong and Sae-Byeok have each finally found someone they can trust. However, Ji-yeong isn't looking for reciprocal benefits from their collaboration; she has a job here as the older sister, and that goal is to save Sae-Byeok. The two ladies decide to take some steps in the gaming arena, and this is essentially where Ji-yeong's goal becomes evident; despite the ghastly circumstances of a filthy game, Ji-yeong wanders about joyfully, nagging Sae-Byeok to chat with her. She's attempting to break through to her, not just to establish a connection for herself, but also to give Sae-Byeok a new connection. She knows what she thinks about Sae-Byeok and what she wants from her in this game. She wants to chat; she simply wants to feel something and connect with someone before she dies. She's discovered someone who shares her spiritual beliefs, so she has an opportunity to create a meaningful relationship before leaving. Ji-yeong has more knowledge than helplessness, and it comes to the surface during the marble game. When it is revealed that the marbles game would not be a trial of two partners but a combat between rivals, and hence a duel to the death, Ji-yeong appears generally unconcerned, but she turns to Sae-Byeok, who appears slightly concerned. She's unconcerned about herself, but she's quite interested in how Sae-Byeok feels since she knows Sae-Byeok still wants to quit the game and have a life, and she wants to provide that for her. This explains Ji-yeong's calm demeanor throughout the game; she's determined to die, yet she still wants to help Sae-Byeok. In exchange, Ji-yeong gets to build a connection she can feel as she encourages optimism in Sae-Byeok. We witness Ji-yeong start to smile as their connection strengthens and she gets Sae-Byeok to open up about an emotion. She is clearly delighted in this moment. But Ji-yeong's work isn't done; she now urges Sae-Byeok to talk about her future goals and her hopes. Ji-yeong is enjoying the chat, but it's really for Sae-Byeok, which is why she's being so pushy; she's really trying to persuade Sae-Byeok to utilize her imagination. She wants Sae-Byeok to reveal herself and what's hidden deep within her. It's important to Ji-yeong that Sae-Byeok dreams again. Sae-Byeok's telling Ji-yeong that her dream is to go to Jeju is so heartfelt, so real, it's reflective of men's dreams that go unanswered across the constant toil of days, and yet there's that sweet, innocent hope that lives in Sae-Byeok, no matter her pain and struggle, and Ji-yeong finds it.

Squid Game: A Character Review & A Story of Friendship (Part 1) Ji-yeong is an underappreciated, sorrowful figure from the series Squid Game. I believe she is unique from every other participant in the game. She isn't there just to survive. She's there to die because it's the only way she'll be able to live. She's not the type of character you'd start with when it comes to these breakdowns; instead, she's a passing note to most, a suitable gloom, a delicate woe along the lord's course, spanning three episodes in the midst of the series. Though she's lost some of her inner life, I see a melody in her, a vibrant tune from within that rings of many things marked by the human heart and the various difficulties it's sewn upon. Appropriately, Sae-Byeok is the first to notice Ji-yeong, as if no one else can see her, and to be honest, she does arrive out of nowhere. Also, Ji-yeong appears just after Sae-Byeok embarks on a path of resolving her faith in man, thanks in part to Gi-Hun's thoughtfulness. It shows her just a few scenes before Sae-Byeok approaches Ji-yeong and approach her to join her squad for the forthcoming game, which we'll learn is the tug of war. Like Sae-Byeok, she is quick to act unaffected and gestures towards taking off without a care in the world; she would rather be left without a team than display desperation. She has a toxic pride that conceals her uneasiness and insecurity as a result of unfavorable relationships with her fellow men. Both Sae-Byeok and Ji-yeong have been betrayed by people and will not allow it to happen again, even if it means putting themselves in greater danger. Meanwhile, Ji-yeong's cynicism is directed towards religion, and there's a lot to infer from this about the larger thematic narrative inherent in the squid game as well as Ji-yeong's psychology. For example, player 244, a pastor, demonstrates through his murderous proposal how, in a ruthless market-based society, religious leaders are just like capitalists, justifying whatever means are necessary to obtain wealth and survive. Furthermore, Ji-yeong hints here that she has experienced the hypocrisy of fervently religious people and identifies how they use religion to excuse their sins. However, with respect to her connection with Sae-Byeok, this moment reveals the two women's attitudinal kinship. Ji-yeong's understanding of religion and religious figures is relevant to Sae-Byeok. Faith, in this case, refers not just to religion, but also to hope, investment in greater meaning, and the promise of salvation. Ji-yeong's faith is not in the center, and so her hope is gone; she cannot be rescued, and she does not want to be saved. And what are her odds in this harsh competition?

It's been a few days since I wrote my last article and this is long, so I divided it into parts. Also this is very emotional one.

This is the first Harry Potter book; it is where all of the magic and journey of the boy who lived began, and we are made a part of it as well. The majority of people adore this book and consider it to be one of the best literary fiction books they've ever read. The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite of the Harry Potter books. How about you? #Photography

Another photo of a jungle flame, but this time it's red. I couldn't help but to reminisce on all the good and not-so-good memories I had when I was ten years old. It was an adventure; I got to do things I didn't get to do when I lived in the city; I rarely leave the house, but when I lived in the province, I got to experience all the fun and recklessness. This flower represents a period in my life when things were not going well, but I can say with certainty that I had a genuine childhood experience.
