Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block… With the cops treating her like she’s the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila’s left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case. She’s tasked with saving her Tita Rosie’s failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. ⚠️ Content Warnings ⚠️ Death, Murder, Drug Overdose, Fatphobia, Evidence Planting, Adultery, Racism, Domestic violence (implied, not on the page)

It was never meant to be more than a dare. Thus, the study expounds on the absurd subject and theme as reflected through the (mis)use of language. This demonstrates and foregrounds how the play radically and deliberately abuses and violates the Gricean Maxims and confuses Speech Acts so as to accentuate the play’s theme and effect of “absurdity.” Subsequent to examining selected characters’ utterances, it is concluded that there is an evidently high number of instances to which the play breaks the cooperative maxims, and likewise there is an enormous number of events to which the play conveys the mismatch between speech act and the perlocutionary effects. The study presents an evaluation of the absurd language through analyzing its devaluation. The article is a discourse analysis of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, thus exploring the language that exemplifies the Theatre of the Absurd.

A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He’s divided his life into happy compartments.

"Breath of my breath heart of my heart souls of my soul touch me." Ride the dragon you have summoned from mortal flesh.” If you touch him, you will know life that might or death that will.Be therefore as sunlight, hidden in amber, untouched by man, not touching.Forbidden.” “In shades of darkness he will come to you. Now, due to this, I'm not sure if it really is as good as I think it is.or if the series just has a special place in my heart.
