Can we live now without internet? In this digital age, people depend most of the time through social medias. Living without internet, that's almost like living in the Dark Ages. As much as we have to admit it, we eat, breath, and live our lives on the internet and the only time we go offline is when we need to get some sleep. Yah, I admit it.

Even in expressing our feelings, specially our loved to someone is as easy as 123.  We even manage most of our relationships online, and for a lot of people, those "likes" and "comments have become a gauge of their friendships.

With that, I have so many realization after watching "Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wifi". Cignal Entertainment, the new original content division of Cignal, in partnership with the Idea First Company and OctoberTrain Films, presents a fresh look at love in the digital age with "Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi"

When a teenage girl develops an allergy to Wi-Fi, she is forced to live in a remote province, pushing her to reevaluate her relationships and the boy she believes is her one true love.

The movie stars Sue Ramirez, Markus Peterson, Jameson Blake and its directed by Award winning Director Jun Robles Lana.

"What interested me most about the idea, when I came across a 2009 news report about a British mn who was allergic to Wi-Fi, is the opportunity to explore the underlying sadness and emptiness of modern relationships," shares Director Jun Robles Lana.

"Nowadays, with the advances of technology, no matter where we go, it's so easy to get in touch with our loved ones. But a lot of our correspondence has also been reduced to emojis and likes and superficial interactions online. What happens if the technology that's supposed to connect you to the whole world suddenly isolates you literally and take away your freedom and the life you once lived and knew.

The movie really hit the millennial, I myself is also a millennial. After watching the movie, since it's about the love life of teenagers, I miss one thing, I miss the old ways of courting the girls, and especially when both of you are officially in a relationship. The love letters, the stuff toys, the visits, the date without gadgets, the HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking) those are the things I misses the most. The hardship of the guy to visit the girls in their houses just to court or see him personally, those are the things that makes kilig to both who are in love with each other. Well, when millennials have finally watch it they will surely agree with me.
