I told you Korean movies makes you so emotional.

Just because one small human mistake, it can turn into a zombie outbreak, and the end of human race.

We should've killed that person using that machine from Minority Report. OR...
We can just kill everybody just to be safe. Because human causes the zombie outbreak. It could be you. YOU. (Not me. Because I said so.)

55. Hate = Liking Him / Her But Feeling Too Early to Admit The Feelings

Synopsis
Debut author Sally Thorne bursts on the scene with a hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love.

Nemesis (n.)
  1. An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.
  2. A person’s undoing
  3. Joshua Templeman
Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy can’t understand Joshua’s joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy’s overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.

Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job…But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.

The space between love and hate is very narrow.

When you hate someone, try not to hate him / her so much, you'll realise that you love him / her so much not so long after that.

Disgusting is a feeling I would prefer to describe my dislike. I don't hate the person, I am terribly disgusted by the person. Safe feeling.

Think of it this way:
If you hate someone, you will plan to harm him / her; you will do something to him / her. Competition doesn't solve the problem. I find being competitive stresses me. I'd like to do my very best at all things, rather than to do better than a certain people. It's unbecoming.

I tend to convert hatred to disgust; you won't find me falling to a love trap (because of hatred? you kidding me? shame on me I missed your love hints but since you've become so disgusting, I MUST throw you away - so sorry).

54. A Question of Human Faithfulness

Waiting for something or someone is an exhausting task. Waiting for the special ones feels like a heavy burden too. It's not the question of whether or not the other person is worthy of us, but more to the question of whether or not that person stays faithful to his / her promises.

What if he / she doesn't come back for us? What if he / she finds someone else? What if he / she fulfils the promise out of a mere obligation (doesn't feel the same way like he / she did when he / she made that promise to us) ?

It's very very very very very, very stressful. Let's just put all thoughts to rest, and do something else. Like, reading a book for a change?

Synopsis Soon to be a major television event from Pascal Pictures, starring Tom Holland.

Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, the USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.



Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.

In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.

Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.

Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.

53. Let's Go To The Butterfly Garden and Witness

Synopsis
An Amazon Charts bestseller.

Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden.

In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees…and a collection of precious “butterflies”—young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens.

When the garden is discovered, a survivor is brought in for questioning. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison are tasked with piecing together one of the most stomach-churning cases of their careers. But the girl, known only as Maya, proves to be a puzzle herself.

As her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviors, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. But the more she shares, the more the agents have to wonder what she’s still hiding…

It's so scary sometimes to meet a person who has the ability to control the crowd.

You'd follow whatever he wants, even if you know that it is a wrong thing to do. Staying true to yourself might be difficult, because you've lost your sense of what's right and wrong by then.

It's a whole wide world, with you, alone, don't know which path to take, except follow the one mind controller who, unfortunately, take all the advantages from you.



SMELL ALL THOSE PRETTY FLOWERS, YOU, BIOTICKK !!!
THEN, LET'S HAVE FUN TOGETHER...

I'm sorry I'm not allowed to say biotickk,
I meant be-yacht,
No, I meant be-cheese,
Ah... I meant beeties,
bioncay, be-yoish, lalala...
...
You'll get it
