It's a biographical film featuring the all girl rock band, who wanted to have a spot on a decade where rock n roll is dominated by men. It showcased their struggle and their short-lived fame.
The film is also hit its target illustrating the culture of the controversial rock n' roll music, I am sure many are familiar with the song "I love rock n Roll", who later Joan Jett release after the Runways disbanded.
I felt a little tired or burn out after watching this movie, maybe its the effect of a good directing of the film. Somehow I felt the character's struggle during their juvenile years. Still a recommendable movie.
My rating:
6/10

Trip to Cagayan Valley
ROAD BLOCK
We are so excited to travel but series of events change our mood into disgust, heavy rains pouring in Urdaneta City, the first bus could not accommodate us, we had to wait for 30 minutes or more in an umbrella pounded by heavy rains carrying our baggages.
When the bus arrived (ordinary) we had no choice but to board in to escape the rain. We thought that was start of a nice road trip, but after 3 hours of travelling the worst traffic experience I had in my life came, we are immobile for 4 agonizing hours! (ordinary bus = oven toaster) though it was a night trip the humid atmosphere is there the rain dig not help at all because you have to close every window.
The traffic was caused by a road repair but worsen by undisciplined drivers who could not wait for their turn and tried to make their until a huge bottle neck emerge ( a trailer derailed due to miscalculated loop).
When the bus got out of traffic I thought our misfortune is over but heck the bus broke! the driver is unwilling to explain what happen only told us that the bus could no longer travel, we had to transfer. Morning already broke when a transfer bus reach where we are stuck for an hour.
Then series of many traffics again! so many road blocks so many road repairs and same pain in the a$$ drives who could not wait for their turn.
at last we reached Cauayan, Isabela, where bebeh grew up. it was 9:00 in the morning after 16 hours of travelling. We boarded a van for our ultimate destination, a weird van (meron conductor..haha)..We arrived at Macapagal avenue, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan at exaclty 11:30 almost 20 hours of non-stop travelling - a new personal record..
PANCIT
We had to rest for the entire afternoon after a long travel but worthy travel, bebeh got to see his little "pamangkins" and their joy replenish us quickly. In the late morning, bebeh gave me a treat, the Famous BATIL- PATONG, a special delicacy of Tuguegarao, a sautéed noodles with savory toppings.
DALIN-RETURN
Yes, it was a short trip, in the afternoon we had to pack and leave for the last bus, the cries of Dotdot made my heart heavy, even heavier for bebeh as Dotdot don't want her to leave.
Luckily the fear of another traffic nightmare is gone on our way back! A short vacation on a thousand mile land. Hopefully we could go back their and will have a longer vacation.
