"Squid Game" was unexpectedly what we were all waiting for

 Yoohoo!

Today’s topic? "Squid Game".

This was definitely a wild ride

I did not think that I would like this one at all

I saw the slapping episode and I was like why in the world would anyone want to be slapped for money.

But of course these characters are not only broke and poor, they are in debt. 

They owe everyone and their mama some money.

So this first game happens and I am telling my family what is this?

Why did you tell me I would like this?

And she goes trust me, you will like it.

And I am like, the like part isn’t here yet.

Mind you I would have never clicked on a show like this on my own.

So it gets to the episode where everyone is working together to win the tug of war game and I was immersed.

The show did a perfect job of showing you how prejudice exists in the world against women and old people.

During games where people had to pick partners they were willing to leave the women beyond so they could survive. 

But why are we surprised they were even willing to kill their own friends.

It was as they say in my native country, "Chien manje chien" kind of world

Which basically translates to dogs eat dogs kind of world


Please comment who your favorites were and who irritated you the most.


My favorite characters were the Sae-byeok the North Korean, player 67

Abdul Ali, Player 199, and ofc the main character,

And Seong Gi-hun, player 456

The players that I really hated were Cho Sang-woo, Player 218.

I was so pissed off when he tricked Ali and stole all his marbles.

He is a loser. He couldn’t win fairly so he lied and stole from his friend. DISGUSTING!

I hate hate hate him.

And of course the Jang Deok-su, Player 101 for obvious reasons. He is way too thirsty and a savage. Someone I would never befriend or smile at. 


And Ms. Crazy Lady Han Mi-nyeo, Player 212.

She got on my nerves the entire movie up until she decided to take one for the team and jump off the glass bridge with Jang Deok-su eradicating them both from the game of life. Right there I couldn’t hate her anymore. 

But OMG she was acting way out of line the whole show. 

Other than that, the games themselves weren’t too bad. If it weren’t for the erasure of human lives involved it would be a fun reality game show to be on.

My favorite games were of course the tug of war, the red light green light game, and the sugar cookie or Dalgona shape cutting game. 

Because in that game no one was given any rules to how to play the game 

And I really liked how player 456 figured out that he can lick the bottom of it and everyone else followed suit and he essentially saved some people. That would be a fun game to play in real life.

The saddest moments included when player 67 had a piece of glass lodged in her abdomen.

I was really sad because she essentially made it so far only to be eradicated by shards of glass.


Overall this show was definitely an 8/10 which is really good. It could have gotten a 10 but the gore is kind of a turn off because people were getting eradicated for no reason or what I view as no reason. For example how one of the employees got erased for showing his face in a dire situation. 

 

Thank you so much for reading! I will see you very soon. Au revoir!

Inked

Somewhere along the way I dropped something. I can't remember what it is. I don't even remember the exact time. But for sure I dropped something. I wish I were told when I did. But who else can I blame but myself. In a world full with pretense that everything is okay, being the the bleeding pen doesn't hurt as bad. Spilling ink as if there was an unlimited source of ink. Spilling like there is no tomorrow. The color looks so beautiful as the sunlight hits the ink. It feels good to feel something other than pure bliss and the occasional frustration. It feels like I am alive. I have fallen off cloud nine only to be met by broken glass. I didn't see it coming. It hurts a little, maybe a lot.  It felt like a sting. No, more like the reaper somehow took a piece of my heart. I whisper to myself, I will be okay. I have to be, because a broken heart could be my demise.

As the saying goes...

As the saying goes, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Let's analyze. Preparation can be described as training or development. Are you training? Are you building yourself? For some reason it seems to be hard for people to grasp the fact that they have to work hard to get what they want in life. While you go out partying with "Susie"every night, Susie is getting home late after partying to study and work hard. She will go to bed at 4 a.m. working hard while you will go to bed at 4 a.m. because you are up watching Netflix. Don't let Susie hinder you from your success because Susie will never tell you that she has to work hard to get what she wants. Susie herself doesn't believe she is working hard enough. Susie thinks her success is luck but if you knew it all you would understand that Susie's success is based solely on hard-work. "If  a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Take the Garbage out!!!

If you are with a man who you feel needs to change who he is simply to make you happy and not for his own good, let that man go. He is not for you. A man who is packaged for you will be so right for you that you will want him with all his flaws. You are whole as a human being. Stop looking for someone to complete you. A person can only complement you. It does not matter how nice someone seems if the person is causing you emotional or physical pain, let that person go. The same rule applies to everyone that comes into your life. If you have a friend who is constantly asking you to change to fit their narrative of what a friend should be, throw that friend away. That friend is not yours. That friend is somebody else's. The reverse can also be said. The only reason you should be asking someone to change or someone should be asking you to change it is if and only if you have a particular habit that is negative and needs an update. If the person is trying to infiltrate your mind wi...
