It is finally the month of October and I am very much excited for this month! This month will mark the beginning of the second half of my final year in high school. I am so close to finishing the year that it is actually overwhelming to think about. October also holds one very important day - my birth.
As per usual, a new month means a new favourites post! That is why today, I will be talking about a few things that I loved from the month of September.

"Drunk In Love" by Beyoncé + Ed Sheeran
This collaboration was done as part of Beyoncé's setlist when she performed at the Global Citizen Festival. The acoustic take on the song with Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran's vocals is really amazing. I always amazing when I describe my favourites, but I really cannot think of any other word to describe this collaboration. Also, their blending is on point.
"Where Are Ü Now" by Pentatonix
Pentatonix has been really releasing songs from their latest album, Pentatonix, which comes out on October 16th (another reason why I'm excited for October). One of the songs that they've released in order to promote the album is a cover of Jack U and Justin Bieber's song "Where Are Ü Now". The arrangement has "La La Latch" feels, which I am perfectly fine with. Listening to it with headphones is definitely the way to go.
Heneral Luna
I don't think I have ever been more proud of a Filipino movie before watching Heneral Luna. The movie revolves around the life of General Antonio Luna, the greatest military strategist of the Philippines, during the time of the American occupation. Not only does the movie show the struggle of the Filipinos against the Americans during the American occupation, Heneral Luna also shows the struggle that the Filipinos had with their fellow countrymen. Although set way back in the 1900s, the movie reflects the current situation of the Philippines. There's a problem and instead of working together to address it, we're divided by our own personal agendas.
Aside from that, the technical aspect of the movie is something worth praising. The cinematography, the make-up and design, and score were really good. While it isn't at par with all those other great Hollywood films, Jerrold Tarog, director, writer and composer for the film, has definitely taken a huge step in Filipino cinema. He showed that Filipinos can achieve the same quality of films as internationally acclaimed films. It's definitely a must watch!
Entrance Exam Buster Kit
This past month, I took two college entrance exams. One at the Ateneo de Manila University and another at the University of Santo Tomas. My entrance exam buster kit has been extremely useful because it definitely made taking the test easier. Here's the list of what I had in my bag:
Those are the items in my bag that made entrance exams easier to conquer. I might a detailed post about it soon, but for now that's all I have to say. If you're going to take an entrance exams at colleges, considering bringing these items with you!
My Bed
Numerous academic requirements and college entrance exams were the main "highlight" of September, and it has been extremely exhausting trying to survive this past month. Coming home to multiple requirements has been difficult to cope with, but this past month, my bed has helped with that coping process. After a long and stressful day at school, there is nothing more relieving than lying down on a very comfortable bed. My bed has been very supportive (pun very much intended) and that's why it's part of my favourites for September.
Those are all my favourites from the month of September! The links to some of them will be below so that you can check them out for yourself too. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it very much! I hope you enjoyed reading this and I will back with another post soon!
Until Next Time!

3 Mongol #2 Pencils (That's the standard pencil type for entrance exams)
Eraser
Sharpener with a case (the one that catches the shavings)
Notebook/Book to place my test permit in
Umbrella and Jacket
Snacks
Those are the items in my bag that made entrance exams easier to conquer. I might a detailed post about it soon, but for now that's all I have to say. If you're going to take an entrance exams at colleges, considering bringing these items with you!
