<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most of my readers know how much of a
Kdrama junkie I am but to be honest, I haven’t crossed the Kpop world until I
saw TWICE. In the past, I don’t really get the fascination over Kpop idols
because for someone like me who can’t understand Korean/Hangul without
subtitles, how? Just how? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Although I know a few Kpop groups like
2NE1 (primarily because Dara Park is big in our country), Girls’ Generation and
Bigbang (come on, who doesn’t know G-Dragon?) but I don’t really know much of
their songs. The only Korean music I sincerely listened to were those that were
used as soundtracks of the Korean dramas I’ve watched so I know Ailee, Ben and
Crush. Early this year, I accidentally heard Taeyeon’s song “11:11” on Spotify
and I had it on repeat for more than a week. I got curious about her other
songs so I tried listening to her album and boom! Instant fan. So I guess she’s
the first Korean artist who I had more than 3 songs that I listened to (and
loved). However, I haven’t gotten into
that phase yet of really getting to know Taeyeon by reading articles about her
or watching her past videos. I have paid attention only to her music and her
live performances. I couldn’t really see myself fangirling hard over Korean celebrities
although there were a few who I am really fond of.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And then TWICE came. I have been stanning
this group since April and I can’t believe that I have binge watched almost all
of their videos including their TV appearances since their debut. Little did I know that what started as a mere
curiosity (I keep hearing “miyane, shy shy shy, cheer up baby” on the Kdramas I’ve
watched last year and my sister had their songs playing over and over at home though
I’ll be honest, it wasn’t my type of music because I wasn’t really into pop)
eventually became my first (and perhaps ONLY) Kpop group that I went crazy over. I can’t even begin to explain
how much I love these girls so now yeah, I can say this to other Kpop fans... I
GET YOU! NOW, I FINALLY GET YOU!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">TWICE may not be the strongest in terms of
vocals but as a rookie group (although they’ll be celebrating their second year
soon), they’re really promising. With more years ahead of them and more
training and live performances to come, I believe that they’ll get there. Their
songs aren’t the best when you hear them first but it rings in your head and it
just grows on you without even noticing it. It just unknowingly becomes your
jam. However, my fondness of them didn’t happen because I was amazed by their
songs or their performances but I was actually captivated by their
personalities when I accidentally watched their reality show (TWICE TV) and
from there, I could no longer stop. I find them really shy and awkward on variety
shows but when they’re interacting with their co-members, just on their own and
being themselves, they have this distinct wit, humor and charm that makes me “kilig”, giddy, happy and unbelievably excited. It's so hard not to love them. They're a happy bunch of girls who just cares about doing what they love most while having fun.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="FIL-PH">I started asking myself who my bias is
(and the word “bias” I just learned recently because I have zero idea about the
terms used in Kpop fangirling/fanboying world, I'm really new to this) but I couldn’t pinpoint who
because seriously, everyday my bias changes. This is the first time (and
hopefully the last) that I made an effort getting to know a group. Yes, I know
all their names, their nicknames, their age, and all other things that a true
Once should know and I realized that fangirling is no frickin’ joke. It seriously
wrecks your life. I couldn’t last a day without a dose of them. Not that I’m
complaining but my daily routine had a major change because of these girls. I
don’t regret it though because after all the stress that I get from work, I end
my day watching them and they make me happy (it’s contagious, by the way, just
ask my brother and sister-in-law who also became their fan because of me). </span></span><br />

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Twice TV is already on its fifth season
and I look forward to 30, 40 or 50 more. Watching them achieve their dreams and
share their music and friendship to all their supporters, it inspires me
somehow (especially the part when I learned about their struggles as trainees and Jihyo who patiently waited 10 years for her debut). It makes you feel like you’re a part of their group and like a caring
unnie, you enjoy seeing them grow and be a part of their journey. I’m no longer
in that age to fangirl this way but these 9 young beautiful dorks brought me
back my youth so I’m really thanking TWICE for that. I’m seriously planning to
study Hangul so I could understand their show better and perhaps write them a
fan mail one day. I’m even saving up so I could see them live in front row seat
when they have their PH concert (whenever that will be) or go straight to Korea
to watch them there. I can’t wait to hold my own candy bong. ;)</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A reader sent me a private message and opened up about her
bestfriend. I didn’t intend to blog about it but I hope she won’t mind that I
did (I won’t drop your name, promise!) Anyway, it was about ending a friendship
because of personal issues. I’m not sure if I have posted something similar to
this but I’ll write about it na lang din in case hindi pa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Is it possible to break up with a friend? Yes. And to be
honest, mas masakit yun kaysa sa makipagbreak sa boyfriend o girlfriend kasi
more often than not, mas malalim yung nabubuo nating relationship with our
friends. It’s the kind of relationship na feeling mo napakaliit ng probability
na masira that’s why when we meet people who we want to keep for a very very
long time, kinakaibigan natin. So what will you do nga ba when you start to
feel that the friendship you value the most seem to be in shambles?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are so many possible reasons pero kung ako ang
tatanungin, parang mas mahirap yung wala naman kayong specific na pinag-awayan.
Yung tipong basta na lang one day naramdaman mo na lang na may distance na. At
least kung may pinagmulang issue, you know what to talk about. Kahit paano alam
mo saan mo sisimulang ayusin. But when you realize that you’re starting to
outgrow your friend, or kung ikaw man yung naoutgrow niya, how do you deal with
that nga ba?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I’m not the best person to answer, to be honest, kasi
pinagdaanan ko din yan and I don’t know if I did the right thing. At first you will fight for the friendship and exert as much effort as you can to save it
pero one day kasi marerealize mo na lang na may mga tao na hanggang dun na lang
talaga sa buhay mo. It doesn’t mean that you’re erasing them from your life or
that they don’t care about you anymore. It’s just that maybe they already
served their purpose in your life. You guys are still friends. Walang papalit sa
kanya, walang papalit sayo. Growing apart is not always a bad thing. Maybe discovering
new friendships is the best for both of you now. Embracing the kind of growth
you need as well as welcoming other people who could make you a better version
of yourself at the moment is not easy kasi may mga bagay at tao kang mabibitawan
either namalayan mo o hindi. It sucks but that’s life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you are the one who feels like being set aside, I’m sure
you love your friend at sure din akong importante ka sa kaibigan mo pero
minsan, kahit gustuhin natin, hindi tayo ang sagot o makakatulong sa mga
pinagdadaanan nila. Make them feel that you’re still their friend and that you’ll
always be there but respect the space they’re
creating kasi baka yun ang kailangan nila. It’s going to be sad and just like
breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, ang hirap magdetach lalo na kung
sanay ka na nandyan lang sila but you’ll get over it. Try not to be bitter
about it kasi at the end of the day, may pinagsamahan kayo. You will miss your friend, mamimiss ka din nun. Pero gaya nga ng sabi nila, real friendships survive everything. Hindi man kayo mag usap o magkita ng maraming taon, kung
malalim yung pagmamahal na nabuo between two friends, one day you’ll see each
other and it will be as if walang nagbago. I hope you look forward to that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If the falling out happened because of an argument, malalim
man yan o mababaw, just say SORRY. Ikaw man o siya may kasalanan, just say it
and mean it. Hindi kabawasan sa pagkatao magpakumbaba. Pero depende pala ‘to sa
bigat ng pinag-awayan ah. I-gauge mo din naman kung toxic friendship na yan kasi
baka naman naaabuso ka na o baka without you knowing ikaw na yung nang-aabuso
sa kaibigan mo. But if it’s a fight between friends talaga at alam mong bump in
the road lang siya, save the friendship and TALK. If despite that lumayo na
talaga loob niya sayo, at least let your friend know that no matter what happens
nandyan ka lang (and mean it, okay?) Don’t ditch your friend in the future para
makaganti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Friends are God's gift. We treat some of them like family. They’re like an
extension of us. Ganun sila ka-importante that’s why we feel messed up
sometimes when we’re in trouble with our friends. I can’t tell you a sure
formula to fix your woes with your friends but I greatly believe in love and
its power kaya pag mahal mo ang isang tao, pamilya man yan, kaibigan o bf/gf, lalawak
ng kusa ang pang-unawa mo at matututunan mong unahin ang nararamdaman nila at
pangangailangan nila kaysa sayo. You will learn how to humble yourself and
apologize, to forgive, to embrace change, and to be happy for them even if it
means you have to simply care for them from a distance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Minsan talaga ang saya pag nauubusan ng mapapanood kasi
kakahanap, I tend to discover underrated movies and shows that end up becoming
my favorites. Age of Youth is one of them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I haven’t watched TV for a long time. Could be because there’s
nothing really nice to see lately or siguro yung oras na ina-allot ko for
recreation is so late that I prefer to binge watch online na lang. I actually planned
to watch Age of Youth early this year but I had to catch up on work and some
other things kaya lately ko na lang naalala na papanoorin ko pala siya. After
checking out the first episode, ayun na. I couldn’t help but skip a day of my
usual routine and burned the couch para magmarathon. Yes, <b>IT’S THAT GOOD</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The story revolves around 5 female characters who live in a dormitory. Sa unang basa ng synopsis, I really thought
it will have that sorority vibe na medyo chic and would center on romantic relationships
but I was so wrong. The story was well written that even the dialogues hit me really hard kasi hindi lang siya hugot pang-lovelife, hugot
pang-buhay talaga. I call it a “life” drama because it was amazingly realistic.
They touched so many topics that not all Korean dramas (or television shows in
general) would dare to tackle. I learned so many things hindi lang tungkol sa
romantic relationships but more on life and how to survive it considering na
ang daming issues sa mga tao sa paligid mo at lalo na sa sarili mo. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The five characters may have had a hard time getting along
at first because they have different personalities pero the way they show how much they care for each other, sobrang
squad goals sila for me. I wish everybody could have their own version of Belle
Epoque – a place where you can be somebody else and be yourself at the same
time. Hindi ko ma-explain but if you have watched this series, I’m sure you’ll
understand. ;) I can see myself in each of the characters kaya nagkaron talaga
ako ng attachment sa story.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The cast was superb especially Han Ye Ri and Ryu Hwa Young. Both
of them played such complex roles and they were really able to make me feel how
wretched they are pero lumalaban. The show could be melodramatic at times but
the writer did a great job sa pagbalanse because during funny scenes, sobrang nakakatawa
naman nga talaga. The romance part didn’t disappoint as well (Sunbae Yoon and
Chef Park’s chemistry was off the charts!). Character development, yung
progression ng story, camerawork, yung locations, lahat. Everything was on
point. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you’re looking for something good to watch, yung tipong
maaaliw ka and matututo ka at the same time, I highly recommend this Kdrama. It
will make you reflect about your own life and how you treat the people around
you. I would have wanted to see more kasi sobrang iksi ng 12 episodes para sa’kin
but they wrapped it up nicely and the writers gave the viewers enough room to
imagine what’s going to happen next.</span></div>

It was confirmed by the network that aired the show but JTBC hasn’t spilled yet

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I had a conversation with one of my
readers the other day. As I was thinking of a topic to write about today, bigla
ko siyang naalala. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He asked me: How do you tell someone that you’ve fallen out
of love without hurting her?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sa part na “without hurting her”, sarap mo
kutusan, N! Haha! Though nasabi ko na sa’yo ‘to pero... WALANG GANUN! :p Kahit
gaano kalambing boses mo, kahit sabihin mo sa harap ng Eiffel Tower, kahit magpa-fireworks
display ka habang nakikipag-split, MASAKIT YUN! Falling out of love is never
romantic. Sabi nga ni James Ingram “When it falls apart, there’s no easy way to
break somebody’s heart”. :p<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When you fall out of love...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Honesty is the best policy, Kuya. Some
people kasi naghihintay na magkamali yung isa para makahanap ng dahilan para
makipaghiwalay o di kaya magpapakacold at hihintayin na yung isa yung bumigay,
mali yun. Maling mali. Masakit na nga na iiwan mo, pagi-guiltyhin mo pa kahit
wala naman siyang kasalanan. If there’s one thing that I value now more than ever,
yun na yun, honesty. Masaktan ka man o di kaya makasakit ka ng iba, malaking
bagay yung alam mo at masabi mo kung ano yung totoo. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hindi ko alam yung feeling because in my
entire relationship history parang never pa ata na ako talaga yung sumuko. I
have felt that way maybe, yung parang ayaw ko na, but I always find a way how
to get the feeling back kasi ang mindset ko pag nasa relationship, kung susukuan
mo, walang relasyon na tatagal sayo. And in any relationship hindi naman yan
laging masaya. A lasting relationship needs work, patience and the “never give
up” attitude. Swerte ka kung makatagpo ka ng kapareho mo kasi in that case, for
keeps na yan. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But then, may mga klase ng “falling out of
love” na hindi na talaga marerevive. So kesa magsuffer kayong pareho being in a
loveless and unhappy relationship, be brave enough to tell her how you feel. It
will hurt you too, I’m sure of that kasi sino ba namang tao ang may gusto na
makasakit di ba? But that’s the only advice I can give you. Wag ka na mamili ng
timing kasi walang perfect day para makipag-break. The more na pinatatagal, the
more na makakasakit ka. Just do what you have to do. The guilt of hurting someone
you used to care a lot about will creep in for sure pero isipin mo na lang, mas
okay na yun than lying to her everyday.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When the one you love tells you that they
don’t feel the same way anymore...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I will never say na “Okay lang yan!” kasi
isa yung malaking kalokohan. Hindi yan okay. Masakit yan. Hindi ko na
iisa-isahin yung five stages of grief kasi para sa’kin isa lang yung
significant na part dun. Yung ACCEPTANCE. It will be a painful and gruelling
journey but I pray that you come out of it stronger and better. Curse him all
you want, be angry and resentful, do what a normal human being who has been
broken by love would do, pero stage lang yan, wag mong tambayan. That’s the sad
truth about love. One day, you fall in and then you fall out of it. Two things
can happen, either you find your way back and fall again (with the same person
of course) or you just give up. If he chose the latter, you do whatever it takes
to TRULY heal and move on (without casualties, I’m referring to rebound and all
other forms of moving on na may iba kang masasaktan). Him falling out of love
is not your fault and you are not in control of how he feels so never beat
yourself up about it. Misplaced guilt yun. You may also want to consider too na
hindi lang ikaw ang nasaktan. Siya rin panigurado. Relationships fail dahil at
some point nagkulang kayong pareho. Just focus on your own healing and although
it will take a lot of sleepless nights and cryfest here and there, trust me. It’s
going to get better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="FIL-PH">Like what I always say in my previous
blogs, ang love at relationship ay trial and error. Out of all na
makakarelasyon mo isa lang ang makakatuluyan mo. It’s a journey. You will never
know who, when or how pero siguradong may inilaang tao para sayo. When you’re
in a relationship, treat it as if it is the last you will ever have because
that’s the moment that you will get to appreciate it for what it is. If it
works, then well and good. If it doesn’t, no regrets because when it comes to
love, pag naibigay mo kung ano yung dapat, wala kang pagsisisihan.</span></span></div>

but I got caught up with work. Fortunately, I was able to find time this weekend
kaya ito na. Haha! I have watched a lot of Korean movies in the past years and
in making this list, nahirapan ako i-rank kasi maraming magaganda. Again, just
like the top 5 Korean dramas, ang basis ko is yung hangover after the movie
and how the entire film affected me. I hope this list could help you in case

<span lang="FIL-PH" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I always come across this title everytime
I search for must-see Korean movies but I never really paid attention until
late last year nung naubusan na ko ng mapapanood. I wish I could have watched
it sooner. Unang eksena pa lang napa-“Uy!” na ‘ko. “Uy!” in a good way. Haha! The movie is about a group of friends who hadn’t seen
each other for decades at nagkahiwa-hiwalay sila because of an incident na of
course, hindi ko na ikekwento para hindi ma-spoil. One of them is terminally
ill and wanted all of them to get together at habang naghahanapan sila, their
individual stories were told and how their friendship blossomed and faded
eventually. Why you need to watch this? It will make you realize the value of
friendship. It is very relatable kasi I’m sure you have those people in your
past especially nung mga “nene” at “totoy” days niyo na you may have shared
amazing memories with na ngayon binabalik-balikan niyo na lang. It will make
you wonder about so many things especially how time passes and as life happens,
there are certain people who you lose connection with at mapapaisip ka “Ano’ng
nangyari?”. What I like about this movie (aside sa life lessons at soundtrack) is
that nabalanse yung comedy, romance, drama, at konting action.</span><br />

<span lang="FIL-PH" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, it’s Han Hyo Joo. I’m a big fan of
her work. She’s such a versatile actress who’s really good in choosing her
projects. Siya yata girl version ni Lee Jong Suk dahil pareho silang magaling
pumili ng roles. When I watch her nawawala yung artista. She becomes the
character and that’s exactly what she did in The Beauty Inside. The story
reminded me so much of David Levithan’s “Every Day”. A guy wakes up every day
na nag-iiba siya ng itsura. He can be a woman, a man, a child, lolo, lola,
basta, iba iba. Parang shape-shifter only that he's not in control. Then he fell in love with this girl and he had
a hard time telling her about it. Yung conflict sa part nung female character
is that she knows she’s in love but she’s struggling with the fact na hindi
niya alam kung ano ba talaga itsura ng taong mahal niya at napagkakamalan pa
siyang promiscuous ng pamilya at mga kaibigan niya because they see her dating
different men without knowing of course na iisang tao lang yun nagiiba lang ng itsura. It was as if she’s falling in love with a different person
everyday. The plot is unique in itself but what’s more amazing is that kada palit
ng male lead ng itsura magugulat ka. All star cast ba naman. She kissed and
cuddled the most gorgeous Korean actors to date. How lucky can this woman get?!
Haha! This movie will teach you about love in its purest form and how it will
make you accept someone despite their flaws, idiosyncrasies and in their
case, kahit magpalit palit ka pa ng itsura. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="FIL-PH" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First Korean movie na napanood ko and even
until now, it sticks with me. It isn’t named the highest grossing Korean comedy
of all time for nothing. I have watched it twice pero sobrang tagal na nung
huling beses (I think I need to rewatch it some time soon) but Jun Ji Hyun’s
chemistry with her male counterparts has always amazed me. She’s one of Korea’s
top actresses and Cha Tae Hyun is equally competent so it’s no wonder that this
movie became a hit. The film was
heartbreaking not just because of the
female character’s back story pero pati na rin yung pag-unfold ng love story
nila nung male lead. Something like it could have been better if we met in
another time but it was all good pa rin kasi naging dahilan ka para gustuhin
niyang magmove on. Something like that. It was open ended which for me is a
really great way to make the movie linger to the viewers and yun
mismo talaga naging epekto sa’kin. I was reminded of that feeling when I watched
Legend of the Blue Sea. Cha Tae Hyun’s cameo role was “daebak”! Haha! Made me
want to watch My Sassy Girl again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Prince, he made me fall again in Train to Busan, and yet again in Goblin. Ugh!
This guy! Haha! His character in Train to Busan isn’t his usual prince charming
role sa mga Kdrama but he definitely nailed his portrayal. This movie wasn’t
just a hit in Korea but it was actually talked about all over the world. I
watched this sa movie house mismo kaya feel na feel ko yung mga zombie. Yung
term na “at the edge of my seat”, it was literal for me nung pinanood ko ‘to.
Sa sobrang suspense, napapatalon pa ko sa kinauupuan ko. The suspense/horror
part was nicely done pero yung story at kung papano nila nilagyan ng puso yung
pelikula, that made all the difference. The effects were top notch, cameraworks
and even the stunts, it was flawless for me. It wasn’t a typical zombie movie
na ang intensyon lang eh takutin at gulatin ka. You’ll learn so much from the
characters at mapapatanong ka, alin ka sa kanila in times of crisis. Will you
help others survive o sarili mo lang iisipin mo? Also, walang tapon na eksena at
walang character na useless. All of them played a vital part in the movie. Not
to mention, the lead child actress was sooo good. Nakakadala.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

first came out in 2012. I don't know why it didn't reach my radar. It was
recommended by a friend so I decided to give
it a try. One thing I love about Korea</span><span class="textexposedshow">n actors is that
rarely will you see a resemblance sa pag atake nila sa mga characters. I love
Bo Young in Oh My Ghost and Speedy Scandal but her performance in this movie is
sooo good and for me, this is by far Joong Ki's best. Buong movie hindi siya
halos nagsalita pero mata palang, ni hindi nga siya umiyak, pero ako bilang
nanunood his portrayal really pulled my heartstrings. The ending scene, grabe
lang. Tumatak talaga. Everything in this movie was good pero yung acting talaga
yung nagdala. Sobrang galing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

all of you a happy happy love month (hindi na lang Happy Valentine’s Day kasi
tapos na). Don’t ask me how I spent it because nothing extraordinary happened.
I worked all day and that was it. So many things on my plate right now. Happily
accomplishing my daily to-do list. Nakakapagod pero fulfilling. I may have a
lot to share in the coming months when my projects materialize. Anyway, I took
a few hours today to post something on my blog. It’s been a while and I
promised myself to write more this year, so here’s me trying to keep that
promise. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I miss being in a relationship sometimes.
It’s hard to deny that dahil as much as nagdududa na ‘ko na nagtatransform na
yata ako sa pagiging halaman, missing it will never be a good reason to jump
back into dating. Not that I didn’t try in the past years but talking to people
who could potentially be you-know-what, I realized I no longer have the
patience to do that text tennis whole day and get out of my way to spend time
to date. Swerte ng makareply ako ng dalawa o tatlong beses sa isang
conversation na sinimulan sa tanong na <i>“Gawa mo?”</i>. I wonder too because I used
to enjoy that phase before. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A friend told me <i>“Hindi ka lang talaga
interesado kasi kung gusto mo yung tao, kahit gaano ka ka-busy, ikaw pa mismo magsisimula ng
conversation.”</i> She could be right. Or maybe it’s really not my priority right
now. Even in my prayers, the past years hindi ko na naisasama yung lovelife ko.
I don’t want to think that I gave up on it. Maybe it’s just not the right time,
I don’t really know.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I never thought that it would be possible
to feel this way. Yung feeling na di ka makaramdam ng kahit na anong kulang. I
always say malalaman mo kung ano ang importante sayo by observing the people
and the things that you pray for. In my case, it has always
been about my family, my friends who ask me to pray for them, my dreams, and my
incessant desire to get to know God and to follow what He wants. I wake up
everyday feeling excited because it’s Him who will greet me “Good morning”.
There’s a different kind of comfort at night because I know He’s the One
tucking me in. His love for me overflows that I can’t possibly feel any void in
my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Lonely days come and go but it’s not much
of a struggle. Days when I miss having someone to hold my hand or to share my
thoughts with, those are just fleeting moments because all the things that I
miss in a relationship, He already took care of. Had it been my way, I would
want to share my life with someone too but since the day that I surrendered my life to Him, I’m no longer in control and I wouldn’t have it any
other way. So if He says “no” for now, I’m good with it. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

relationship. There’s no need to be bitter or envious of those who have found theirs
because trust me, God’s timing is always perfect. Allow Him to amaze you. Love
is all around and it comes in different forms. Bask in its presence mapa-pamilya
man yan, kaibigan o trabaho. Kung apaw level na, ipunin mo yung sosobrang
pagmamahal sa puso mo kasi hindi rin magtatagal, darating din si special
someone at si Lord pa magdedeliver sa’yo. ;)</span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Yes, my dear readers, it’s epidemic. Haha!
I’m infected, aminado. Years back, I wasn’t fond of watching Asian films and
series. Hilong hilo kasi ako sa subtitle. It’s more like reading to me than watching.
Ang hirap mag-concentrate sa ibang movie elements kasi na-consume na yung
attention mo ng pagbabasa. The only Asian drama that I completed was Coffee
Prince. Though I loved that series a lot, hindi na yun nasundan for a long
time. 2014 came and I got interested again after watching “49 Days” out of
curiosity. Since then, watching Asian films and TV shows especially those that are
created by Koreans, Thai and Indians became a weekly thing. I watch at least 3
to 4 in a month. Either I binge on a few
episodes before I go to sleep or during busy days, mina-marathon ko pag
weekend. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As a writer, it helped my creative process
a lot. The thing I love most about Kdramas is that may variety yung mga kwento.
Korean writers rarely follow a formula and making movies and TV shows
for them seem like a huge creative playground which, to be honest, pinagdadasal
ko na ma-apply din ng mga Pinoy minsan. They seldom stretch their stories kaya
hindi nagiging dragging and boy, the budget! They really spend to make their
shows worth watching regardless kung nagre-rate or hindi. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

napanood ko never ako nag-attempt na gumawa ng listahan ranking them from 1 to
whatever but I decided to create one now. I may miss out on your favorite
series but since this one is my list, I used my “hangover level” as the basis. Kung
pwede ko lang ilista lahat, I will, kasi marami talagang magaganda but if you’re
looking for a Kdrama to watch, I hope this helps. Ito yung mga tumatak talaga sa’kin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It’s a family drama pero hindi siya
malalang dramahan. This series had me laughing hard on the comedy scenes. Minsan
hindi pa meant maging comedy yung eksena but the actors (especially yung
parents) are so natural. Nakita ko yung mga magulang at mga tito at tita ko sa
kanila. I fancy anything vintage so I guess medyo may bias ako dun because the
setting of the story is in the late 80’s. Ito yung series na tinipid ko yung panonood
because I didn’t want it to end. I felt like I was a part of their neighborhood
and in reality, how I wish makahanap ako ng ganung community where everybody genuinely cared
about everyone. The five main characters who were childhood friends were
convincing as well. I watched some of their behind-the-scene footages and it
seemed like a very happy set. This series will teach you so much about love, family,
and friendship. And by the way, ang hirap hulaan kung sino magkakatuluyan.
Kudos sa writer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

opinion, though I have watched a lot of dramas, this is where Gong Hyo Jin
really showed her incredible acting prowess. Napabilib niya ko ng sobra. Jo In
Sung was amazing, as always. I love how he could handle crying scenes without
overdoing it pero buhos yung emosyon. It was realistic. Needless to say... how can a human
being be so gorgeous?? He had undeniable chemistry with Gong Hyo Jin. In some
scenes, they were believable as a couple. Their kiss scenes were... ugh!
Basta panoorin niyo! Haha! Storywise, ang daming shocking twist. That’s one of
the many things that I love about this Kdrama. Pinaglaruan ng writer yung isip
ko. Lee Sung Kyung also appeared on this show and this is where I first noticed
her kaya ako na-excite when I first heard that she’ll be the lead in
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. Another point, the series is psych in nature
so I can relate since I’m a Psych grad. It was fun being acquainted again with
familiar terms. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Haha! This guy is sooo good in picking his projects. I have watched almost all
his series and he slays the action genre. He’s not the macho type. He doesn’t
even have that astig aura but that’s the thing. Babyface and lean physique but he can surely pull off his characters. Han Hyo Joo did well too. Ang ganda niya.
Kahit sa mga eksenang dugyot na dapat siya, ang fresh pa rin niya. Pero yung
hangover ko sa series na ‘to lumala because of their chemistry. I shipped them
so hard even after the series. I don’t know if they were just really good
actors o sadyang may something talaga sila in real life (I’ve seen the
behind-the-scene videos and I can’t help but swoon over them, and sweet naman
kasi talaga offcam). The series started strong. Each episode was
compelling, I could only say “Ang taba ng utak ng writer
nito!” I got a bit worried halfway through the show because there were one to
two episodes na medyo naconfuse ako sa mga nangyayari but then, magaling yung
creative team, they were able to pick it up. The premise itself na nagmix ang
mundo ng graphic novel at ng real world, yun pa lang nakakabilib na but for
them to create 16 episodes out of it, it was insane. The effects were really good
too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It’s a crime drama na may pagka-CSI and
Criminal Minds. I’m a big fan of crime-related documentaries, movies and shows.
Ang sarap pag-aralan how they solve crimes and how perpetrators think. Tapos
pag nahuli sila nakikigigil ka dun sa mga nakahuli. Bumabatok ka rin sa TV/monitor.
What’s unique about this series is the time travel element. Not sure kung time
travel ba tamang term dun basta they were talking through a
radio/walkie-talkie. One is in the present and the other is in year 2000. They
solved cold cases and even tried to prevent some crimes from happening. I read a
few articles about this series and some say na it was inspired by real criminal
cases that happened in Korea. Mas lalo siya naging interesting para sa’kin. I
even researched for those cases and traced whether it got solved in real life o
nanatili na lang siyang cold case. Every episode, clues were dropped but what
made it my no.2 is yung pagkakatahi nila ng mga detalye. There were scenes
(which I won’t spoil) na napapa “sh*t! ang galing!” ako. Every episode was a
puzzle piece.</span></span></div>

<span lang="FIL-PH"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hindi ko alam papano ko sisimulan! Haha! I
love everything about this drama. I can’t even describe how I feel evertime
maaalala ko yung mga eksena at maririnig ko yung soundtrack. Sa sobrang bilib
ko sa writer, I had to research about her and her previous work at hindi na ‘ko
nagtaka because her portfolio is gold. Kim Eun Sook wrote a lot of hit series
including Descendants of the Sun and Secret Garden. I wasn’t interested at first
though nababasa ko nga sa mga reviews na maganda but I have this habit kasi of
watching only when a series is done. Like everyone else, ayaw ko ng nabibitin.
But with this series, I made an exception. Gorgeooooous camerawork. Sobrang
sarap sa mata ng mga shots. Mahahalikan ko talaga yung cinematographer at
director. Especially the scenes in the buckwheat field and those that were shot
in Quebec, nagpiyesta yung mata ko at kinurot niya ng bongga yung puso ko. The
characters on the scenes need not speak their lines. The camera angles and the
other elements ultimo patak ng ulan at snow, it spoke for them. And good
heavens, the soundtrack. Earworm ko siya for almost a month. Pag nakahanap ako,
I will pay for the original CD just so I could have a keepsake. Ganun siya ka-worth
it. The cast was good. Topnotch acting from Lee Dong Wook (who’s such an
eyecandy, by the way) and Yoo In Na. Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun... haaaay. Episode
13 and 15, their scenes (I won’t spill the specifics for the sake of those na
hindi pa nakakapanood) made its mark in me. Hindi ko alam paano nila inaral
yung atakeng gagawin nila sa mga eksena but they were reaaaaaaally good. At
first hindi ko nakita yung chemistry nila but they played their roles exceptionally
well and as a viewer, they made me believe that great love never dies and in
their case, it is eternal. The chemistry was so real I farted rainbows everytime I see them together. Haha! The
script fascinated me too lalo na yung mga dialogue nung deity. I learned a lot about faith, kindness,
justice, love and His will. I think it would take a while before another Kdrama
kicks this out of my list’s top spot and I’ll definitely watch it again some
time soon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I will be blogging about my top Korean movies too. Will have it posted next week. I wish I could watch enough Indian and Spanish movies too. Hopefully, I could make time soon pag di na hectic sa work. Yung tipong one week off, tulog at nood lang. *wishful thinking* If you have other Kdrama or foreign film suggestions, please send me a message or comment on this post. Baka maka-discover ako ng mga bago sa inyo. Thank you in advance! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I didn’t have much time to wrap up my year the way I did
before. Too much happened during Christmas season (family stuff mostly) and the
only time that I was able to stop and reflect was last night, an hour before
the clock hit 12.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Marami akong sinabi sa sarili ko before 2015 ended and I was
so hopeful about so many things in 2016 but most of it didn’t happen. I don’t
know why but I didn’t dwell on it anymore kasi in retrospect, mas malaki pa ang
nakuha ko. 2016, I must say, was the year that I got to know God a little
better and though I know that I still have a long way to go, the things that I learned
this year greatly strengthened my faith in Him and in all things that are good.
There were unanswered prayers but I feel as if He took the year to gear me up
for something great this 2017. Excited? YES! VERY!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Today is the first day of the year at kung totoo ang
sinasabi ng iba na kung ano ang ginawa mo sa unang araw ng taon, most likely
yun ang gagawin mo the whole year, then I must have started it right. I’m so
glad that I have spent this day doing three of the things that I really love
doing – praying, watching movies and writing. I hope I could do more of this
ngayong 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For some time, I thought I unintentionally put out the fire (my longest
writer’s block ever) but today, I found myself writing for 4 hours straight. It’s
still here. Yung dating pakiramdam, yung trance-like experience when I write my
thoughts, walang nagbago. The short hiatus from writing gave way for me to
discover new things about myself and the things that I want. It gave me a
chance to chase after my other dreams but just like before… pagsusulat ang binabalik-balikan
ko. So this year, the fire right here in my heart will definitely reignite. I even think it’s going to be bigger than before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Change is coming? Actually change is always coming. I guess
some people just aren’t ready to welcome it. For me though, I’m embracing it
this year. Hindi ko kakalimutan ang mga nangyari sa’kin last year. Wala akong
galit sa 2016 at sa ibang taon pa na lumipas. I want to make peace with all my
mistakes, shortcomings, bad decisions and stubbornness and just start this year
dropping all the regrets and whatnot. This year, I want to finally call myself
an adult and face everything head on. With a little room for fear, yes, but
with God in my heart, I will carry on anyway. I will continue to love the
people around me and try my best to show them a glimpse of “heaven” so they would
crave for it and eventually seek the Big Guy up there because He's the only One who could give more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Direk Jun Robles Lana is one of the directors who I look up
to. I met him once when I applied on his scriptwriting workshop last year. He
wowed me then and he amazed me again now. Kung pwede lang na sa isang salita ko
lang ma-describe yung pelikula niya, ito lang:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">NAPAKAHUSAY.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mula sa direksyon hanggang sa pagkaka-edit ng pelikula up to
the flawless performance of Paolo Ballesteros and Christian Bables. I read so
many reviews of Die Beautiful and so far, I never came across one that was
negative. Because of that, lalo ako nacurious. Pagka-announce pa lang that it
was one of the finalists in 2016’s Metro Manila Film Festival, naaatat na ‘ko
mapanood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I expected it to be good but not this much. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Awards garnered by this film are all well-deserved.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Paolo did an
amazing job as Trisha Echeverria, so did Christian as he played the ever loyal bestfriend,
Barbs. The way they portrayed their characters were compelling. The movie was
well written. Kahit hindi ka beki, makaka-relate ka. The lines weren’t tacky at hindi pilit. Kudos to Die Beautiful's screenwriter, Rody Vera. As a viewer, para akong
tsismosa na nag-oobserve at nanonood sa dalawang beki sa kanto. That’s how real it felt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Some non-linear movies that I watched in the past left me
confused at some point, but not this one. The film editor, Ben Tolentino, did such
a brilliant job and the idea na it jumps from one timeline to another, yung
pagkakatahi at pagkakabuo ng pelikula, it all made sense. As a viewer, hindi
niya ko nilito. The way the movie was edited, in my opinion, was one of its
strengths. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>(The first part is
for my followers. If you want to read the movie review right away, go straight to

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have always been a big supporter of MMFF. As a family, we had
this tradition since I was in grade school that we watch at least 2-3 movies
during Christmas Day at may pagpaplano pa kaming ginagawa kasi expected na namin
na maraming tao. As soon as the mall opens, nandun na kami. Talagang
nakikipagsiksikan kami ng mga kapatid ko at wala kaming pakialam sa haba ng
pila. As a kid, I never understood why we were so excited with this annual movie
festival when we can just wait for the entries to be available on VHS (back in
the 90’s) or DVD (nung medyo techie na). I realized na that family tradition
played a big part on why I became so engrossed with local films. Una ko
talagang minahal ang pelikulang Pilipino bago ko nasimulang ma-appreciate yung
mga gawang banyaga. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Anyway, why I’m telling you this is because a friend of mine
gave me an idea the other day. I’m not really good in writing reviews kasi pag
nanonood ako, ineexperience ko siya at ninanamnam to the point na ang hirap ng i-narrate.
Basta naramdaman ko and I can’t put it into words. But since I babble a lot
about the movies and TV shows that I watch when we talk, sabi niya “Bakit kaya
hindi ka na lang sumulat ng reviews para di nasasayang yung mga mahahabang
komento na sa’kin mo lang sinasabi?” At naisip ko bakit nga ba hindi. This isn’t
just to let my thoughts out but to help other people na rin to decide what to
watch. I’m not sure, of course, if we have the same taste but if you think my
thoughts could be useful, go ahead and peruse. :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So… aside from random musings (see blog description on top), I
might write about reviews on movies (and maybe TV shows) that I discuss with a
few friends who are huge movie junkies like me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So ayun na nga… first movie review this 2017 is the first MMFF
entry na napanood ko.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was only on December 30 that I had the time to visit the mall
so unlike the past years na talagang December 25 ako nakakanood, it took me 5
days after pa to finally watch though I read movie reviews in my free time. The
movies that I really wanted to see on this year’s MMFF are Die Beautiful and Saving
Sally. I only had 3 hours max to spare last Friday and it really pissed me off
that I came late for the 10:40am screening of Die Beautiful while Saving Sally’s
first screening was 4pm. Paano? Haha! The only movie left for me to watch on
that day was Vince & Kath & James since the rest were screening on the
other side of the mall at mauubos ang oras ko. I haven’t read any review of VKJ
so I have no idea what to expect basta Star Cinema siya at romcom. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have watched tons, if not all, Star Cinema movies na romantic comedy
ang genre since late 90’s so I didn’t expect anything surprising because they seem
to follow a formula. There was nothing special on the story. It was typical and
very predictable but what made me like it is yung treatment. When it’s supposed
to look pabebe, to my amazement, it didn’t seem that way at all. Para niya kong
binalik sa pagkabata at naramdaman ko yung kilig nung mga panahong nakikita ko
yung first crush ko. No overdone cheesy scenes but only cheesy lines na for
some reason eh imbis na magcringe ako eh naaliw ako. Props to the writers, Daisy Cayanan, Kim Noromor and Anjanette Haw. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In all fairness to
Julia Barretto, she has improved a lot. I watched Para Sa Hopeless Romantic and
I wasn’t really impressed by her performance there so it was really nice na
nagcomplement sila ng leading man niya dito. She looks stunning on cam and she
did well in the comic scenes. She and Maris Racal were believable as
bestfriends and Maris, though I’m not a fan of uber kikay characters, did not
come off as annoying.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ronnie Alonte... hmm.
Dead eyes. :( There were some scenes pa na nahuhuli siya na napapatingin sa
camera. He's an eyecandy, yes, but they could have chosen someone else to play
his role. Fit naman as a rich boy varsity player – looks, tindig and all – but in
terms of acting, medyo kulang pa. Forgivable naman since he’s a newbie. I haven’t
watched Seklusyon yet so I can only base lang dito sa movie na ‘to. Maybe he
did better in that film, I’m not sure.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Joshua Garcia, as expected, did an amazing job as Vince. Since marami na nagsabi na kaabang-abang siya sa movie, hindi na ko nagulat. You can really see the potential in him. Yung mga seryosong scenes especially the confrontation ones with Ina Raymundo, gusto ko yung hindi over the top yung pag-iyak niya kasi ganun usually umiyak ang lalaki. Pigil. Hindi hagulgol pero ramdam mo na nasasaktan talaga. Hindi dinaan sa pagsigaw. Humikbi lang pero tatamaan ka. Given the right projects at kung maho-hone pa yung talent niya, he could be the next big thing. </span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I saw some of
their promotional shots, hindi ko masyado nakitaan ng chemistry si Julia and
Joshua but during the movie, lalo na sa sinok at talyer scene… sparks. Marami. Yun
na lang. Haha! They unexpectedly look great together onscreen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Cinematography is
nice. Sarap sa mata ng mga kulay and gustong gusto ko mga close up shots ni
Joshua and Julia. Overall, na-enjoy ko yung movie. I can’t really compare it to
the book/textserye on Facebook because I haven’t read it yet but the movie
itself was entertaining and just the right mix of everything. Though it wasn’t
as deep and intense as the other MMFF entries, parang ito yung naging “buffer”.
Hindi sinayang pera ko. The kilig element wasn’t over the top. Sakto. Easy to
watch. Based on the portrayal of the two lead actors, yung simplicity ng script
at treatment ng story, if you want to see something light, you will appreciate
this one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">By the way, may
hangover ako sa soundtrack ng VKJ. Whoever thought of using “O Pag-ibig” of
Bailey Mae and Ylona Garcia, good job! Ang lakas maka-LSS.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I’ll be writing a
review of Die Beautiful tonight as well since napanood ko na siya kanina. Hope
I could find time tomorrow to watch Saving Sally or any MMFF entry. As much as
I intend to watch all of it, I’m not sure if I have the time pero sana. :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">F: Uy! Nakausap ko pala si *bleep* <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Me: Ah really? Kumusta daw siya?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">F: Engaged na. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">*awkward silence*<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Though things did not end the way I hoped for years back
when I thought we were leading somewhere (for someone I dated in the past,
there were really serious feelings involved during that time), totoo, walang halong
kaechusan, gusto ko talaga maging masaya siya. Pero ngayon ko lang narealize,
masakit din pala… konti. Haha!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, it wasn’t the sana-kami-nalang-ulit kind of masakit
but more like it-could-have-been-us-but-we-both-know-we’re-better-off-this-way.
It played thousands of times in my head before, yung tipong meron kang ex na
ikakasal, iba pala yung iniimagine mo lang sa totoong nangyayari na. Ngayon ko
lang na-gets yung pakiramdam na kahit alam mong ayaw mo naman kayong
magkabalikan pero mas naging totoo yung “period”, as in never na magkakaroon ng
katuloy EVER. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, at the end of the day mas nangibabaw pa din siyempre
yung masaya ako para sa kanya. Finding the right one and finally being able to
say that you are with the person you want to grow old with is one amazing blessing
na hindi lahat nakakaranas. I may have not found mine yet pero sure ako na cloud
nine ang pakiramdam nun and for someone who used to be so special to me and I used
to deeply care about, there is nothing but joy na malaman na on to the next
chapter na siya ng buhay niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One friend told me before “when you love a person, lumipas
man yan, hindi man maganda maging ending niyo, nandyan pa rin yan. Matatabunan
lang ng mga susunod mong mamahalin pero never mawawala.” I guess tama siya. Whether ikakasal man yan o may bago ng jowa,
may mafifeel at mafifeel ka pa rin. Kirot, hapdi, sakit, basta may mararamdaman
ka. But don’t mistake that na baka mahal mo pa o na baka gusto mo pa magkabalikan
kayo. Be happy kasi it only means nagmahal ka ng totoo. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">PS. Pag nakabasa kayo ng kwento ko na tungkol sa past love
na ikakasal, ayan, may idea na kayo kung saan inspired :p<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been
on hiatus for some time. Not that it matters to others but I would like to
share with you something that was life changing for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just a
background, madalas ko ng naririnig yung prayer and fasting. Actually, I try to
do it every Holy Week (and I say “try” kasi most of the time hindi successful).
It was just recently that I had serious thoughts about it because I felt
something inside was calling me to do it. For days, I researched on the proper
way of doing prayer and fasting. I talked to my mom about it and sought advice
from my friends especially those na nasubukan na. I didn’t know how to prepare
myself for it kasi “7 days” is “7 days”. Yung malihis ako sa nakasanayan ko and
give up certain things (sa mga hindi nakakaalam I have this need to stick to my
daily routine otherwise I become really anxious), it was unimaginable for me.
But then I realized, this will test kung ano nga ba ang kaya kong isakripisyo
para sa Kanya so sabi ko “sige na, bahala na”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sa totoo
lang, wala akong major issue sa buhay. I’m not depressed. Wala akong
pinagdadaanan. Everything is okay. I am working on a lot of things lalo na sa
career and everyday nagigising ako na sobrang hopeful at excited sa mga
projects na nakasalang sakin para sa mga susunod na buwan. At some point though
narealize ko na lagi natin iniisip kung masaya ba tayo. The things we do, we do
it to pursue happiness. I began to ask “Ikaw ba Lord? Happy ka ba?” I decided
to zone out for 7 days so I could hear Him better. I have been looking for my
so called “spiritual home” for a long time and I feel that I have already found
it but I know in my heart that there are things in my life that need serious
“pruning” because as much as I have accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, there
are still things na hindi ko maisuko ng 100%. Mga bagay na akala ko sinuko ko
na pero hindi pa pala buong buo yung pag-surrender ko. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A friend once
told me “Hindi ka Niya masasagip kung dumidiskarte ka pa rin ng pang-sarili
mo.” Hindi ko maisuko kasi feeling ko hindi ko kaya. Ganun tayo eh – tao,
madalas mahina. Sa mga araw na lumipas dun ko narealize that when you say “With
God, nothing is impossible.” you have to REALLY believe it. Majority sa buhay
ko sinuko ko na sa Kanya pero yun mismo yung problema. “Majority” LANG. Hindi
lahat. Hindi buo. Hindi kumpleto. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since I
started my 7-day journey, things were easy. Nagulat din ako. The things na
akala ko ang hirap i-give up at feeling ko essential sa araw araw kong
pamumuhay, He answered my prayer kasi hindi ko hinanap hanap. Wala talagang
urge. Dun ko naisip yung mga mas seryosong bagay na hindi ko mabitawan. I
looked at myself closely and how I live my life and God showed me so many
things that I was so afraid to deal with before kaya naipon lang. He made me
realize “Anak, sinampolan na kita sa maliliit na bagay. Kinaya kong alisin.
Sana pagkatiwalaan mo rin Ako sa mga malalaking bagay sa buhay mo na kailangan
mo ng tanggalin.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I realized
that I became dependent on some things na kung hindi ko pa aayusin ngayon,
natatakot ako na baka makalimutan ko that He is my God – not the dreams that I
am pursuing, not the people around me who I love, not the material things and
the fleeting moments here on earth that I enjoy. I have been spending so much
time pursuing my personal happiness that I’m slowly taking Him for granted.
Nagsisimula ko ng sukatin yung success at kaligayahan ko through earthly
standards ng hindi ko namamalayan. Kinalabit Niya ko bigla and asked me “Anak,
para sa Akin pa ba yan?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know after
this marami pang mangyayari but the past few days had been both challenging and
fulfilling for me. I feel renewed and more motivated to pursue Him and the
hunger to get to know Him keeps growing and growing. Ngayon ko lang mas
naunawaan that when He calls you and you respond to it, pag ang puso mo
binuksan mo ng buong buo sa Kanya, mas maiintindihan mo Siya, mas makikilala mo
Siya, mas maririnig mo yung boses Niya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I want to
turn away so badly from the things that will hurt Him and in doing so, I know
it will take more time, patience and commitment. I admit that it worried me a
lot that I might backslide but this week, I truly found peace in my heart and
submitted all my fears to Him because I know that for as long as I trust Him
completely, nothing is impossible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thank you,
Lord, for surrounding me with people who will help me make sure that I am
aligned with Your purpose for me and my life and for sending me earth angels na
aakay sakin pabalik in case madapa na naman ako. To my parents, especially my
mom who laid the groundwork sa pagkilala ko sa Kanya, maraming maraming
salamat. To my sister-in-law, Belle, you have no idea how one Sunday with you
and my brother changed me. I will be forever grateful for that. To my friends
who check up on me all the time and who have expressed their sincere desire to
join me in my walk with Christ (Jill, Thea, Ms. Joy, and Mommy Faith), THANK
YOU! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am not
sharing this so people would emulate what I did and I can’t guarantee the same
spiritual experience kasi iba iba naman tayo but I encourage you to take a
pause once in a while and REALLY listen to what He wants to tell You. Allow Him
to enter your heart and fill all the holes na akala niyo kahit kailan hindi
mapupunan. Let Him do wonders and miracles in your life because believe me, you
will gain the best kind of happiness – pure, real and everlasting. I
incessantly pray for love and kindness to continuously reign in your hearts and
may you find in all things that you do the desire to glorify and honor God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One of my readers who grew close to me asked the other day
kung kailan daw ba ako maguupdate ulit. I know I’ve been inactive for the most
part of this year. Di ko pa maexplain sa ngayon kung bakit but most definitely,
I am cooking something up for all my followers. Announcement will come one of
these days but I promise that this will be something really exciting. I had
this planned since last year pa pero mukhang ngayon lang magmamaterialize. I’ll
be working on my dream projects very soon. Praise God! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tumutulong at tutulong pa. You guys are my angels. Maraming salamat for
supporting me not just on my work but also in my advocacies. More good things
are coming our way and one day, maibabalik ko din sa inyong lahat yung klase ng
suporta at pagtitiwala na binibigay niyo sa’kin. I know I have a responsibility
to you guys, too, lalo na sa mga nabibitin ko sa kwento. From the bottom of my
heart, humihingi ako ng paumanhin. Pasensya na kayo. Hehe! When you have so
many dreams that you are trying to fulfill, ang sarap sarap hilingin na sana madagdagan
ang oras sa loob ng isang araw. But anyway, I’ll try to be a better time
manager so I won’t keep anyone hanging again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It’s 2:44 in the morning. A friend kept on asking me on
Facebook why I’m still up. As always, napag-isip na naman ako. Lately I’ve been
coming home after a day of work and everything else at sobrang latang-lata ako
sa pagod pero gaya nga ng sabi ko sa social media the other day “that kind of
busy na nakaka-happy”. Hindi ko mapigilang makatulog and it usually lasts for a
few hours then for some reason, between 2am-3am nagigising ako. Kung kailan tahimik
ang paligid at tulog ang mundo, bigla ko lang masasabi “Lord, nanggigising Ka
noh?” Though I get random moments wherein I worship Him and grab stolen chances
of having short conversations, I know He is trying to tell me something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The past few weeks I’ve been having this odd feeling. Sabi
ko nga sa kaibigan ko, hindi ko maintindihan and I can’t even identify if it’s
a good feeling or maybe it’s something bad, basta ang alam ko may certain
intensity at nababother ako. I can’t figure it out and I couldn’t tell people
about it. Sa mga nakakakilala sakin, alam nila yan na madaldal lang ako pero
bihira ako lumapit at magkwento ng mga personal na bagay. Most of the time, I
just pray for it. The only person I talk to pag may mga bagay na hindi ko na
kayang kimkimin, well, he’s already with Him. Lately dumadami mga kaibigan ko
na mas matatanda sa akin and by age difference eh talagang siksik na sa wisdom
so I decided to talk to one of them. Hindi ko makalimutan yung sinabi niya and
here’s what he said: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sleep on it. Let the Holy Spirit come to you, huwag mong
habulin. Just be patient and sensitive sa mga nangyayari sa paligid mo kasi
minsan, nandyan na yung message, hindi mo lang mahanap kasi yung focus mo
nandun sa literal. Gusto mo kasi isasalampak sa harap mo yung sagot pero minsan
kasi nandyan lang eh, di mo lang napapansin because you expect the answer to be
in an obvious form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Pinag-isipan ko ng maigi and I have been discerning and
praying a lot until today happened. At yun ang amazing para sa’kin kasi yung
epiphany, nangyari nang walang espesyal na okasyon and God revealed His message
to me in a very simple form – ilaw. When my mentor opened this bright light
kanina during our class, medyo madilim sa paligid at ang naiilawan lang yung
mga taong nandun. I was taking a photo of the class when God's message dawned into me…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was almost drowning in self-doubt and I
couldn’t stop second guessing myself. Perhaps, nasa nature ko na yun kasi as
much as I take risks (I can’t even count kung ilang beses na ‘kong tumalon at
sumemplang), nandun pa rin yung pagiging segurista ko. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It goes on and on in my head and there are times that I
couldn’t handle the voices anymore so I just shut the whole thing out. Then it
happened. Finally.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On my way home, I was praying. I can’t help but thank God for
reassuring me that as long as He is with me, as long as hindi ako bumibitaw sa
Kanya, nothing will ever go wrong. Hindi ko na napansin yung traffic because I
was reflecting the whole time. Ibang iba yung mundo ko ngayon. Nakakapanibago
pero nakaka-excite. I am so thankful na nililinis Niya yung daan para sakin. As
I continuously pray for how many months, di ko napansin na may mga tinanggal
Siyang tao at bagay sa buhay ko and I can’t thank Him enough that the people who
remained in my arm’s length are those who I know will never take advantage of
me. He revealed to me the people who I should trust and whose hearts will be
vital in the days to come dahil yung mga pusong yun ang patuloy na magpapaalala
sakin that He loves me and that I am not alone. Marami rin Siyang dinagdag sa
buhay ko na hindi ko laging naaappreciate kasi akala ko dadaan lang, but I
realized eventually that these are the people who I would want to keep not just
because I have seen their kind hearts but because hanggat nandito sila, hindi
ako mawawala.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">God is preparing me for something. I can feel it. I don’t
know kung ano specifically and I don’t want to know, at least not until He’s
ready to reveal it to me but I am beyond grateful because He answered my prayer
by sending me the right people to walk this journey with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I felt this need to share how God unceasingly manifests His
love and greatness to me because I know 100% that He will work wonders in your
life too only if you have a willing heart. I am a work in progress and there are
so many things in me that need a lot of tweaking but all my worries have been washed
out because I know for a fact na hinding hindi Niya ko pababayaan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let me end this entry with this. This is something that a good
friend told me and it really hit a spot…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You know that God is at work in your life when you start
doing things na akala mo imposible at hindi mo kayang gawin. Those things na
iniisip mo noon na hindi para sayo kahit
gustong gusto mo pero opportunities na hindi mo plinano o hinanap ang hihila
sayo, pabalik-balik, paulit-ulit. And when that happens, don’t fight it. Hold
that faith in your heart na nilagay ka diyan for a reason and whatever that is,
it is for His purpose. Make Him happy. Fulfill it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had a long discussion with a friend about this whole
3-month rule. Funny kasi nagsimula lang sa usapan tungkol kay Taylor Swift at
nauwi na sa personal niyang hugot. Haha! Anyway, she told me “Hindi man lang
naghintay ng tatlong buwan” and it had me thinking. Sino ba nagpasimuno niyang
3-month rule na yan at anong meron sa tatlong buwan para masabing okay ng
makipag-date or to be in a relationship again after that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The thing is… hindi ko matrace kasi to be honest, I first
heard of it sa movie na “One More Chance” at prior to that I didn’t even know
that such a rule exist. I’m not sure kung may ibang nakakaalam niyan or baka
na-mind condition tayo ni John Lloyd na dapat “Tatlong buwan bago ka
makipagrelasyon sa iba. Bakit ba kating kati kang palitan ako?!” (Apologies.
Memorize ko na yata mga linya ni Popoy. It just flows. Haha!) :p<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Okay, disclaimer muna. Bago may magviolent reaction, ito ay
pawang opinyon ko lamang at sarili kong pananaw sa buhay at pag-ibig. Wala
akong nais patamaan kaya pasintabi sa mga makakarelate. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hindi ko alam kung natackle ko na ‘to sa iba kong blog but I’ll
write about it anyway. Para sa’kin,
walang pinipiling panahon ang pagmomove on. Iba iba kasi ang tao. May iba na
mabilis, may iba na mabagal. May iba na akala mo nagka-amnesia after the
breakup, may iba naman na nastuck na. Hindi mo pwedeng ikahon ang isang tao na “o
dapat after 3 months ka pa magmove on”. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t mourn
when a relationship dies. Hello?! Ako pa ba eh alam niyo namang may
pagka-hopeless romantic ako. Kung meron mang pinaka-importanteng bagay sa’kin,
that would be the relationships that I have (with God, family, friends, jowa, etc).
Of course, when you lose someone, it’s normal to grieve, to be sad about it, to
take your time to embrace the loss and most importantly, to heal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Walang specific na oras ang makakapagdikta sa kung ano ang
dapat mong maramdaman. Kahit gaano pa kayo katagal, 3 days, 1 week, o umabot
man kayo ng 4<sup>th</sup> monthsary o 2 anniversaries, WALANG KAHIT NA SINO
ANG MAY KARAPATAN PARA SABIHIN SAYO NA DAPAT NAKA-MOVE ON KA NA. It could take
you a month, 3 months, a year, who the heck cares? Puso mo yan, ikaw lang ang
dapat nakakaalam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have an ex na nakamove on agad, may karapatan ka
masaktan. Pero ibang usapan yung magagalit ka. Wag na natin isipin kung sino
ang nakipaghiwalay kasi sa totoo lang, when two people breakup, it doesn’t
really matter who broke up with who. Hindi dahil ikaw ang nakipaghiwalay
kailangan antayin mong mauna makamove on yung ex mo para di ka maguilty. Hindi
rin dahil ikaw ang hiniwalayan ibig sabihin na magkukumahog kang makahanap ng
iba para lang patunayan sa ex mo na nagkamali siya na iniwan ka niya. You move
on because that’s the next thing you should do when a relationship ends, not
because gusto mong gumanti at saktan yung ex mo. Kasi pag ganyan, rebound naman
yan teh!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So again, if you’ll ask me kung okay lang ba sa’kin if ever
na may ex ako na nakamove on agad… YES! When two people breakup, kasunod na
yun, na one day may mamahalin siyang iba at ikaw ganun din. Nagkataon lang na
either ikaw o siya, mas napaaga. Pero ito yun… when that happens, RESPECT
should remain. For me, it’s okay if you will be in a relationship right away.
Buhay mo yan. Masasaktan ako, pero still, buhay mo yan. At dahil wala na tayo,
choice mo na yan kung anong trip mo sa buhay mo. I won’t meddle kasi aside sa
wala na ‘kong right, eh dapat lang din naman na wala na ‘kong pake. PERO… kung
gusto magmove on agad agad, PLEASE, PLEASE LANG… don’t shove it to your ex’s
face. I mean at least be discreet about it in the meantime. Wag naman yung post
ng post. It could be an expression of love sa current jowa pero alang alang sa
pinagsamahan niyo ng ex mo, hindi naman sa itatago mo pero hayaan mong malaman
niya ng kusa. Hindi yung sasadyain mong ipakita sa kanya o malaman ng mga taong
malapit sa kanya kasi kahit ano pa yung pinagdaanan niyo, respect your ex. Dun
mo malalaman din kasi yung halaga mo sa isang tao. Hindi lang sa mag-ex gf/bf,
pati na rin sa ex-friends, or anyone you cut ties with. Pag alam mong wala ng
mapapala sayo yung tao, you have no use in his or her life anymore (sorry kung
medyo harsh yung term), but still nirerespeto ka at yung mararamdaman mo, ibig
sabihin nun kahit wala na kayo sa buhay ng isa’t isa, pinapahalagahan niya yung
pinagsamahan niyo. At ako sa totoo lang mataas ang respeto ko sa mga taong
ganun mag-isip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The things I said earlier would only apply kung lumandi lang
si ex AFTER niyo magbreak. Ibang usapan ang OVERLAP. Kasi para sa’kin ang
OVERLAP ay isang form ng CHEATING and CHEATING will never be acceptable. Ewan
ko sa definition ng iba pero para sa’kin, cheating is not just being in a
relationship with two people at the same time. Para sa’kin, ang cheating nagsisimula
pag nag-entertain ka ng ibang tao when you know that you are in a relationship.
Wag tayo magbolahan. Alam natin pag nakikipag-flirt tayo. Alam din natin ang
klase ng usapan na walang malisya. So pag nagsisimula ka ng magtago sa
karelasyon mo at nakakaramdam ka ng kawalan ng gana sa gf o bf mo dahil diyan
sa kinakausap mo, YES, form of cheating na yan. And when you break up with your
current partner because of that, OVERLAP NA PO YAN. Wag ka magdahilan na kesyo
nawawalan kasi ng panahon sayo jowa mo o na kesyo boring na kasi, wala ng
spark, etc. Kung hindi ka nag-entertain ng iba habang kayo pa, hindi mo
mararamdaman yan. When you’re committed to someone, act like it. Kung
nararamdaman mong you want to flirt back with someone other than your partner, makipaghiwalay
ka muna. Hindi yung maniniguro ka kung may pupuntahan kayo bago mo bitawan yung
isa. Marami akong kilalang nasira ang relasyon dahil sa ganyan. Tetestingin
muna, landi here and there, itatago sa gf/bf, pag sure na siya na sasaluhin
siya nung isa saka bibitawan yung jowa. Bad yun. Wag maging unfair. Ang lagay
nagmomove on ka na hindi pa man kayo break. Remember that when you start
entertaining someone while you are in a relationship, dun pa lang nilamatan mo
na yung relasyon niyo. Kung nakakafeel ka ng urge to flirt or date other
people, don’t do it behind your partner’s back. Gawain lang yun ng taong single
so maybe at the back of your head, gusto mo talaga maging single kasi kung
mahal mo talaga yung gf/bf mo, ni sumagi sa isip mo na magentertain ng iba,
hindi mo magagawa. So just initiate the breakup then do whatever you want after.
;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hindi ko na babalikan yung tungkol kay Taylor Swift. Single
siya, single si Calvin Harris, single din si Tom Hiddleston. Single ang ex mo,
single ka na din (at please lang make sure na single din yung susunod mong
ide-date). Walang masama kung gusto mo na magmahal ulit. Basta wag mo lang
kakalimutan, whatever you do days or weeks after your breakup, minsan mo ding minahal
yung ex mo kaya remember… RESPETO. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I woke up today hungry, not for food but for God’s word. I
don’t know if you ever felt this way na kahit araw araw ka naman nagdadasal
there are days that you just yearn for Him, for His word, for His love. For me,
this is one of those days. I searched online for Pastor Erwin Balanay’s series
of sermons in Victory Katipunan. Thank you, Lord, for podcasts. I decided to
catch up on his preaching before I start working and I think it was the best
decision I made today. I thought of sharing my insights just in case this helps
kung may pinagdadaanan man kayo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In Pastor Erwin’s words:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In your life right now, if you are in that point that you
don’t know what to do or you are anxious of what’s going to happen next, always
remember that GOD MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL. Manalo ka man o matalo sa kahit
ano pa mang laban, never forget that GOD IS IN CONTROL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I realized that many times in my life, I always say “Thy
will be done” but how much of those words do I really understand? Sinasabi ko
lang ba yun kasi dapat? O sinasabi ko yun kasi yun talaga ang pinaniniwalaan
ko? There’s this line from Pastor Erwin “kadalasan sinasabi mo lang yan pero
aminin mo, uunahan mo pa rin Siya, susundin mo yung sarili mong diskarte kasi
feeling mo ang tagal tagal Niya.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There’s a lot of truth in what he said and I just realized
now that letting God be in control doesn’t mean being lazy and doing nothing.
It doesn’t even mean that you’re giving up. It only means that you let go of
your worries and trust that He will NEVER abandon you and that He will carry
you through NO MATTER WHAT. It means asking Him for direction and not second
guessing because you have faith na kahit anong mangyari, HINDING HINDI KA NIYA
ILALAGLAG. When things fall apart or when it seems like nothing is happening,
those are the moments that God is at work. He’s asking us to TRUST. He’s asking
us to WAIT. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Much like in a car, hindi pwedeng dalawa ang nagmamaneho. It’s
either you hold the wheel or you sit beside Him and give Him full control, otherwise,
maliligaw ka, mababangga ka, masasaktan ka. That’s why you have to choose, it
can never be both. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today, I pray for all those who are lost, confused and
worried. May you allow His amazing love to comfort you and may you surrender
everything to Him so you could clearly see which direction He wants you to take.
If you can’t get the answer now, if you feel that He’s being “too silent”… be
patient, my dear friend, because God will make things perfect for you. It may
take time but have faith that GOD’S BEST IS ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have experienced God’s awesomeness, I encourage you
to share. Masarap Siyang pag-usapan lalo na kung may makakabasang mga tao sa friends’
list mo na gustong gusto Siyang makilala. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hindi ko alam kung papaano ako magsisimulang magpaalam sayo
kasi sa totoo lang, ayoko. Alam mong hindi ako sobrang iyaking tao pero hindi
ko akalain na of all people, ikaw pa makakapagpaiyak sakin ng ganito. Ayoko ng
ikwento kung papano tayo unang nagkakilala o kung papano tayo nung huli tayong
nagkita kasi ang sakit sakit na ng ulo ko kakaiyak. Sa haba at lalim ng
pinagsamahan natin baka makatapos ako ng isang libro kaka-enumerate ng memories
ko kasama ka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lahat ng kaibigan ko kilala ka kasi kahit sa getting to know
stage pa lang sa lahat ng nakakasalamuha ko, nababanggit na kita. Ganun ka
kahalaga sakin, bes. Parang kalahati ko yung nawala. Paulit ulit kong
tinatanong sa sarili ko kahapon, papano na si Jane kung walang Alvi? You left
such a big hole in my heart. Kahit pagsama-samahin lahat ng heartaches ko sa
buhay mula ng pinanganak ako, by far, losing you is the most painful. Though we
had our mini-fights and silent treatments, kahit paulit ulit pa bes, basta pag
tatawag ako sayo para makipagbati, alam kong nandyan ka, may magrereply. Ngayon
wala ng sasagot sakin. Wala na kong aabangan na magtetext ng “Bes?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I may know a lot of people and I’ll probably meet more, but
no one can ever replace you because what we had was different. It was unique,
it was pure. You are the only person who know me too well dahil ikaw lang ang
nag-iisang taong dumaan sa buhay ko na naencompass lahat ng klase ng relasyon
sa akin. You were once a stranger who became my classmate, my friend, my first
love and first boyfriend, my dancemate, my bestfriend, my brother, and my dream
partner. Naalala mo nung high school tayo may sinulatan tayong 20-peso bill,
binayad natin sa canteen at sabi mo “pag ito bumalik sa isa satin, ibig sabihin
tayo talaga”. True enough, nung college na tayo bumalik yung 20-peso bill nung
sinukli sayo sa MRT. From then on, we just knew that we have a different kind
of connection, we were soulmates. Sabi mo nga “not meant for each other but
meant to be together… as friends”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maraming salamat sa halos dalawampung taon ng pagkakaibigan,
bes. Thank you for being the amazing person that you are and for spending
enough time with me in your lifetime. I don’t know if I will ever get over this
grief dahil sigurado ako na tuwing maaalala kita, malulungkot ako kasi mamimiss
kita. Yung tawa mo, yung mga corny mong jokes, yung pangungulit mo pag
nahahyper ka, yung pananahimik mo pag nag-iisip ka, yung gigil mo sa pagkanta
kahit nasisintunado ka, yung mga reklamo mo pag ang init init, yung hilig mo sa
pagkain, yung pagyayaya mo manood ng movie kasama si Mike pag wala tayo
pareparehong magawa, lahat bes. I learned so much from you when you were still
with us at ngayong umalis ka, may natututunan pa rin ako. Thank you for
teaching me to stay true to myself and for making me realize how short our life
is. Na lahat ng pinagkekwentuhan natin noon na gusto nating gawin, simulan ko
na kasi hindi natin alam kung ano mangyayari bukas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I never imagined myself in my old age not having you around,
bes. Sabi ko pa nga dati diba, sana tabi tabi tayo ng bahay nila Mike pag
matatanda na tayo. Maghihiraman ng toyo. Maghihingian ng suka. I never really
cared if in time mabibilang ko nalang sa daliri ko kung ilan ang mga kaibigan
ko just as long as you’re one of them. Pero pangako ko sayo, in all my highs
and lows, magiging bahagi ka pa rin nun. Yung kwentong sinulat mo na sabi mo
hindi mo matapos tapos, hahanapin ko bes and I will make a masterpiece out of
it. I promise you, I will pursue all my dreams, lahat ng sabi mo sakin na
naniniwala kang mapagtatagumpayan ko, I will do all of it in honor of you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I may have not been there but I take consolation on the fact
that you were with your family and the love of your life during your last
moments. Everyone who you left behind especially those who are closest to your
heart, we will stay strong bes because I know that this is what you want, for
us to heal together. I will talk to you everyday, Alvi, and I will write you as
many letters as I can for the rest of my life. One day, when we meet again,
payakap ha? Hindi ko kasi nagawa yun nung huli tayong nagkita. We supported
each other sa lahat ng bagay, at ngayon, for the last time, kahit ayaw kong
iwan mo kami, alam kong diyan ka makakahanap ng kapayapaan. Pakibulong na lang
sa Kanya na maraming maraming salamat dahil pinahiram ka Niya sa amin. Pahinga
ka na, bes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">PS: Theme song natin nung elementary (na tawang tawa tayo
pag pinaguusapan natin)… Ikaw pa rin ang maaalala ko tuwing maririnig ko yung
“It Might Be You”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A few readers of mine who are devoted JaDine fans asked me to write a review about James Reid and Nadine Lustre's new film entitled "This Time". I watched the movie and here's what I can say about it... pero teka, disclaimer muna. Ayoko pong ma-bash. Haha! Ito ay pawang opinyon ko lamang. It's up for you guys how you'll take it. I know how passionate some fans can be but I hope wala namang violent reaction. Hehe! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, here it goes...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Cinematography, film editing, musical scoring... ANG GANDA. Lalo na yung mga eksena nila sa Japan. Hinintay ko matapos yung credits. Kudos to Viva for employing Japanese experts to join their prod team lalo na dun sa mga eksena nila sa Japan. Napakaswabe ng mga shots. I have watched all their movies, kung sa teknikal lang this is by far the best. In terms of story, it was very light. Ok yung script. Maganda yung batuhan ng linya. Swak, hindi pilit. Winner yung supporting cast especially Candy Pangilinan. I love that part yung sa "special friend, special room, special pathway, special mention, etc" This is the funniest she has ever been in a movie. Galing ng comic timing and bitaw ng linya. James is a bit bulol pa din, fits the character though since si Coby naman hindi naglalagi sa Pilipinas. He's such a debonair. Sa lahat ng movies niya, dito siya pinakagwapo. Nadine, as always, is very simple. Acting-wise, simple din. Walang eksenang grand so hindi niya nashowcase yung skills niya sa drama which is appropriate naman din for the story kasi wala namang bigat yung kwento talaga. Believable siya as a fine arts student. Bagay sa kanya mga ganung roles na medyo artsy. Yung kwento, medyo mababaw yung gay friend na pinagselosan angle. I wish the writer could have played more sa arc nung long distance. I think mas relatable yun. Overall, I still think that Diary Ng Panget is the most entertaining and most kilig but This Time is a good film para matanggal yung Clark-Leah character nila sa kanila. And sa teknikal, ito yung the best. Thumbs up. Worth watching. Kumbaga kung hindi ako fan at first time ko manonood ng JaDine movie, worth the time and money. Saktong pampa GV. I love the ending scene, by the way. That's their most kilig scene for me kasi it looked candid and real. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Naisip ko lang as alternative ending... (Disclaimer: Ito ay pawang opinyon ko lamang. Naglaro ang isip ko, naglakbay, napatanong ng "what if". Wala sanang maoffend.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After nila sa Japan sana dun na sila pinaghiwalay. Na mas pinili nila not to pursue the relationship kasi dun mafifeel yung agony eh. Dun magkakaron ng bigat. Yung feeling na mahal mo pero di pwede maging kayo. Gustong gusto mo pero ang layo layo niyo. Walang problema sa feelings niyo pero yung problema external. Yung circumstance. Dun mas mararamdaman ng tao yung kwento. Kaya nga sabi ko earlier they could have played more sa angle na yun. Wala na yung sa gay friend. Mas marami maeexplore dun eh. Sana nilagyan ng konting weight. Kunwari yung final exhibit say after a year or so siya nangyari, ininvite ni Ava si Coby pero hindi nagreply so she assumed na baka nakalimutan na siya, na nagpalit na ng number, na wala na talaga. Then sa exhibit, kung kailan wala ng tao, pasara na, maiiwan si Ava, meron isang masterpiece dun, kunwari yung ginawa niya sa Japan nung huling beses sila nagsama, inspired by their love story, just when the lights are about to be turned off may hahawak sa kamay niya or may tatabi sa kanya. Magsasabi lang ng one liner na may significance sa kanilang dalawa. Yung boses, yung feeling na parang tatalon yung puso mo, lalabas sa dibdib mo, the first glance after a long time of not seeing each other... iba. Something like that (or maybe a scene less cheesy than this, basta parang ganyan. Haha!). Simple ending pero may impact. Kumbaga nagkaron ng time and space for longing. Na dun nila marerealize na despite the time and the distance sila pa rin talaga. Sabi nila dun sa Japan "the universe conspired for us to be together". How about kung yung ending hindi na yung universe ang nagconspire, how about kung "this time" it was already their choice to be together, hindi na tinadhana kundi pinili na nila. :)</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">I was reading
private messages on my Facebook page the other day and there’s this guy who
asked me:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Bakit
lagi ako napupunta sa maling tao at maling pag-ibig?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">My
reaction: Ay… ang bigat. :p<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Hindi
ko alam kung paano sasagutin so it took me a few days kasi kailangan
pag-isipan. I promised him that I will write something about it so… here it is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Wow. I
wish I knew the answer. Really. Kasi kung alam ko yung sagot, ang saya saya
nun. We could all dodge the Brokenheart Avenue and cut the trip short to
Forever Lane. But the thing is, minsan kailangan mo maranasan kung ano ang mali
para malaman mo at mas maappreciate kung ano yung tama. Lucky are those people
who find their true love early but I’m pretty sure hindi rin yun perfect. In
their journey to finding “forever” in each other, sigurado yun na ang dami din
nilang pinagdaanan. But most of us, we had to go through a series of failed
relationships and love the wrong people before we finally meet the “right one”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">I
assume may pinagdadaanan ka kaya mo naitanong yan sakin and I really wish I can
say something to make you feel better but I guess that’s one thing na
nagpapaganda ng buhay. Yung magkaron tayo ng mga experiences na kailangan
i-endure so we could grow as a person and make us better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">I don’t
know if this applies to other people but I will take my experience for an
example. Tao lang ako, disclaimer ha. Lahat naman tayo pag nasaktan or
nadisappoint, we tend to see things negatively so aaminin ko na initially, lalo
na pag fresh pa yung heartbreak, feeling mo mali yung nangyari. Mali yung tao.
Mali yung naramdaman mo. Mali lahat. Pero ngayon kasi when I think about all my
failed relationships, walang bitterness. Hindi mo mababago yung nangyari. May
mga part na mapapailing ka nalang kasi maaalala mo na nasaktan ka pala but
those experiences, yun yung dahilan why I am the way I am now and I love myself
now more than ever. I love all my scars because they remind me so much of how
genuinely my heart can love and how far I have gone to heal. So if you are
going through something painful now, embrace the feeling because it won’t last,
I promise. It may take you a long time but believe me, you will love yourself
more after that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Some
people who go through heartbreaking moments tend to blame everything on “love”
so uunahan ko na kayo. Love does not suck. What people do with it does. May iba
na tumatanggap lang, hindi nagbibigay. May iba naman na nagbibigay lang pero
hindi naman pala handang tumanggap. Some people don’t know what to do with it
so they ignore how they feel. May iba na inaalagaan. They make it grow. They
share it. Bawat tao, bawat klase ng pagmamahal, iba iba. But I never doubted,
not even for a second, that it’s real. That “true love” or “forever” or
whatever people want to call it, yes my dear friend, it exists. I haven’t dated
in a long time but I fall in love every single day. I find reasons to believe
in it. I see it with my dog when he licks my face in the morning. I see it with
my brother and his girlfriend when they laugh at each other’s corny jokes. I
see it with my parents who hold hands when they watch TV. I see it with lolos
and lolas who walk beside each other in malls. I felt it with my exes who I
loved immensely and who I believe at some point loved me back sincerely. I see it
in mothers who look at their child as if they are the most beautiful thing in
the world. I see it with my friends who bug me every now and then because they
miss me. And best of all, I feel it whenever I put my hands together in prayer.
You see it everywhere. It may have failed you at one point in your life but
that doesn’t mean na hindi yun totoo. True love exists so don’t let pain make
you believe otherwise. Sometimes I wish I could let others see life and love the
way I see it because despite all the awful things around us, it is so damn
beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">This
letter is actually long overdue. I was supposed to write this as a part of my
New Year ritual but I got a bit preoccupied with so many things the past few
weeks. Still writing and posting it now because I really want my message to
come across kaya medyo bear with the drama parts nalang :p<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">First
of all, I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone na naging bahagi ng writing
journey ko. It has been awesome since Project Ex at talagang nakakamiss kayong
kakulitan. Thank you for being my source of strength and motivation. Marami sa
inyo laging sinasabi that I have inspired you in some way pero gusto kong
malaman niyo na kayo din ang inspirasyon ko why I do the things that I do.
Thank you for giving me so many reasons to keep this fire in my heart burning.
I can’t thank you guys enough for the love and support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">To all
the admins of Abciddinians (Dezza and Jenny), Team ABCD (Thet, Mommy Faith,
Levi and Vi-anne), WeLoveAbciddy and sa mga OP’s ng mga social media accounts
ng mga characters sa mga kwento ko, you guys amaze me. Really. The dedication
and the time that you are giving just to show your support to me, ibang klase
kayo. Sa lahat ng bumili ng libro ko, sa mga nagbasa at patuloy na nag-iiwan ng
feedback sa mga pinopost ko sa Wattpad, sa lahat ng nagbibigay ng suggestions
at requests, sa lahat ng love messages and tweets that you guys send me, sa
appreciation, sa mga ngiti at hello at mga personal letters na natanggap ko sa
mga booksigning events… MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT. You guys have no idea how
grateful I am to God for giving me each one of you. I hope you guys know that I
cherish this small family of ours and I will continue to share stories hanggat
humihinga ako.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Sa mga
nagtatanong what’s going to happen next with Abciddy, naku. Mahirap magupdate
ng mga ganap ko sa ngayon because I’m working on so many things. If you have
been reading my blogs and social media posts, I’m sure you guys know my ultimate
dream and I have been working on it for years but I made a conscious decision
that I’ll do it full blast this 2016. I have dropped a few activities so I
could focus on writing so expect several updates here and there starting this
month of February. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Kung
ako ang tatanungin, I am already living the dream. Hindi pa man dumadating yung
major break na hinihintay at pinagdadasal ko but having published a physical
book (Thank you so much PSICOM) and 5 stories in Wattpad, plus having awesome
readers like you guys who I consider my friends too, this is way more than I
have imagined. Sa mga masusulat ko pa in the future both books or movies (hopefully,
Godwilling), sa passion na meron ako ngayon, all of it I offer first to the
Lord and of course, sa inyong lahat who have walked with me on this wonderful
journey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">About
the get-together, yes. Magkakaron po this year. It was hard to plan it in 2015
but whatever happens, we will make it happen this year kasi excited na ko
talaga na makabonding kayong lahat. Hopefully, this year din, if time and
budget will permit, I really want to push yung free writing workshop as a form
of giving back na rin to the writing community. I’m also thinking of one
charity event din that will involve volunteer work from my readers who would
like to take part. Help me pray na maachieve natin lahat yan this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">To end
this open letter, I would like to encourage you guys to make the most out of
2016 because this year will only come once. Hindi na maibabalik. There’s always
something special in turning a new leaf so take this as an opportunity to start
fresh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Sa mga
students, study hard. I know cliché na pakinggan pero totoo, pag labas niyo sa
real world mamimiss niyo ng sobra ang pagiging estudyante because the battle
field when you leave school is a lot tougher and you will need to carry as much
good memories as you can to keep you going. Work on your future now. Get good
grades, do well in school, enjoy the company of your friends, and ito, totoo ‘to,
get to know your teachers and professors because you will benefit from their guidance
and wisdom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Sa mga
nagtatrabaho na, kahit na ano pa ang edad niyo, pursue whatever it is that God
wants for you. Share your blessings and always value kindness and generosity
because trust me, it will go a long way. Kung may pinagdadaanan ka, sa trabaho
man yan o lovelife o kung ano pa mang aspeto ng buhay, isa lang ang weapon mo
to survive – PRAYER. Never forget that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Sa
lahat ng mga nangangarap, God knows your heart. Gaya ng sinabi ko sa isa kong
tweet… BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU PRAY FOR. Whatever dreams you have, work for it.
Sabi nga nila “The more seeds you plant, the more chances to harvest.” Walang
sukuan kahit mahirap… dapa, tayo, lakad… tuloy lang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">Tonight
and always, I will pray for your heart and your dreams. God bless you guys! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Time check: 1AM</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sa pagkaoverwhelm ko, hindi ko magawang matulog so I thought of writing about it not just to release this certain energy but also to share His Word.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let me tell you about this weird dream I had last night. Bumili daw ako ng sinigang na hipon and when I got home, tinapon ko daw sa drain pero napahinto ako nung napansin ko na dalawang hipon nalang yung natitira (oo, nabilang ko siya). Takang taka ako kung bakit ko siya tinapon. Binili ko nga eh, so bakit ko itatapon? Sunday afternoon, I told my brother about this dream and I was amazed by his interpretation. Sabi niya “baka ibig sabihin nun may opportunity na dumating o dadating pa lang na palalampasin mo tapos manghihinayang ka kung kailan wala na”. Sa current situation ko, it really made sense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hours after that conversation, we attended the service in Katipunan, second Sunday na sinubukan ko sa Victory. Again, Pastor Erwin blew me away. Through his preaching, I felt that God spoke to me at nasagot lahat ng agam-agam ko. He talked about declaring your dreams, your prayers, your deepest desires. So what’s with the “DUHAT” in my title and the photo posted along with this entry? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pastor Erwin compared opportunities in life to grapes and duhat. The great and the so-so. The best and the “pwede na”. He said God is giving you all the best that He could offer but it will always be your choice if you will settle for a “duhat” career, a “duhat” love life, or a “duhat” spiritual life all because you are scared – scared to lose, scared to fail, scared to kung ano ano pa. Some people don’t even try to seek for the best. They keep on making excuses and justify it by telling themselves “pwede na ‘to, okay na ‘to”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Narealize ko today… hindi ito ang gusto Niya para sa atin. That we need to have bigger dreams and achieve it with bigger faith. Be brave enough to claim for the things that you think you deserve. It has nothing to do with ego o pagyayabang. It’s more about having audacious faith that whatever happens, God will back you up. If He knows that you have pure intentions and that you will use it to glorify Him, ngayon pa lang, CLAIM IT. Claim it because it’s yours. Be bold enough to think about your dreams and say “Because God is with me, THIS IS MINE”. Pangarapin mo yung imposible at samahan mo ng pananampalataya, that kind of faith that can move mountains. That kind of faith na kahit mapahiya ka dahil may posibilidad na hindi mangyari, idedeclare mo pa rin at ikeclaim na iyo kasi alam mong hindi ka Niya pababayaan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">About the photo…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kinunan ko siya nung January 1 when I watched a movie and I had it edited as soon as I got home. Tinititigan ko siya every morning and I whisper a short prayer… “Lord, one day diba?” Hindi lahat ng tao alam ‘to at ayaw ko siya ipaalam sa totoo lang kasi nahihiya ako. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Maiksing backstory muna…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I was young, every after class and during weekends nanonood ako ng VHS tapes. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang pelikula na ang napanood ko at kahit yung mga classic na mga pelikula pinapatulan ko. Nagsimula sa pagiging pastime but my fascination grew into something deep and yun na siguro yun – PASSION. Nasa Grade 2 pa lang ako pinangarap ko na makagawa ng pelikula. I don’t know if my mom remembers pero may one time noon na nagmaktol ako ng sobra. I was in Grade 6 then. Kinukulit ko siya kasi gusto ko talaga ng director’s chair. Saan naman siya hahanap nun para iregalo sa anak niyang what… 12 years old? :p Una kong pinangarap makapagsulat ng pelikula bago ko pa nadiskubre na gusto kong makapagsulat ng libro.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yan. Yan yung secret dream ko. Hindi ko madeclare, hindi ko maclaim kasi ang nasa isip ko lagi “pag hindi nagkatotoo mapapahiya lang ako. Hindi lang sa ibang tao, pinaka-higit sa sarili ko.” And if that happens, hindi ko alam kung mate-take ko. You know that feeling na ang tagal mong minahal at prinotektahan sa isip mo tapos sa realidad pala hindi magiging iyo? Ganun yung naramdaman ko noon. That I’d rather have it just as a dream. Hindi naging akin pero pwede ko pangarapin. Pero yung susubukan kong tuparin tapos sesemplang ako, how do I come back from that? Heartbreaking eh. Mas malala pa sa iniwan ka ng jowa mo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Going back to Pastor Erwin’s preaching, naiyak ako, promise. I was trying hard to hold it back kasi nahihiya akong maging emotional sa public place pero hindi ko napigil (may two or three tears ata na pumatak). I felt Him patting me on the shoulder and telling me “Akala ko ba tag team tayo? Trust Me… ako bahala sayo.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This dream, this photo, sobrang personal ‘to para sakin. Mabibilang ko sa mga daliri ko sa isang kamay kung ilan lang ang nakakita nito but I am posting it here now to make a meaningful declaration…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This 2016… I will make my first movie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On December 31, 2016, I will look back on this post at dalawa lang ang pwedeng mangyari…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Ngingiti ako dahil natupad siya and I am living the dream.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Ngingiti ako dahil hindi man siya natupad, I am still a winner because God is with me. And who knows... maybe someone will be inspired by this post at siya matupad niya yung pangarap niya. Achievement na rin, diba? :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But for the time being, I will continue to fight for this dream and do everything I can to make it happen, no excuses. So tonight, I will have a good rest because tomorrow is my Day 1 of battle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ikaw? Anong declaration mo ngayong taon? :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To everyone who will read this, I pray that you trust in the Lord, too. Lahat ng mga pangarap mo sabihin mo sa Kanya at wag kang matakot na tuparin lahat kasama Siya kasi ano pa man ang mangyari, when you are with Him, WALA KANG TALO.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">May God bless your heart :)</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have watched “500 Days of Summer” once a long time ago and
have watched it the second time at 3am this morning while taking a break from
work (yes, still working in the wee hours of the morning)… and this scene. Dang
it. Dagger in the heart. It had me thinking once again… what happens when you’re
not the right one? I couldn’t have possibly answered this way back kasi hindi
ko pa naeexperience yung intensity until my last relationship happened. Gets ko
si Tom. Gets na gets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Disclaimer. I might disclose a few details about my past but
I assure na no bitterness, just realizations. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In retrospect, I really thought we were happy. Maybe in some
way, oo. Pero ngayon when I look back, narealize ko sarili ko lang pala nakita
ko that time. Ako yung masaya, siya hindi na. I thought we were okay pero hindi
ko nakita that there was something wrong kasi I was too preoccupied with the
thought that I was okay and that I was happy with the relationship. I admit, at
some point, talagang inisip ko na yun na yun, that it was the last relationship
I will be in because I made the decision to stick with it no matter what kasi yun
na yung gusto ko. Ang selfish pala. Hindi ko naisip na ako lang pala may gusto.
Of course, I wouldn’t say naman na hindi ako minahal because I know that there
was love. Really. There was. Naramdaman ko naman at sigurado ako na minahal
niya ko but it wasn’t as strong as I thought. It wasn’t enough. While there I
was thinking that I have found the right one, I was dead wrong that we will end
up together kasi para pala sa kanya, hindi ako yung right one. Hindi siya
sigurado.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For a time, I beat myself up thinking that there was
something seriously wrong with me but I realized eventually na walang mali
sakin. Wala ring mali sa kanya. May mga bagay lang talagang sadyang hindi
pwedeng ipilit lalo na when it comes to love. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“This is the life I ordered.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sabi niya. Hindi ko siya narinig ng diretso pero nakarating
siya sakin. I was hurt when I learned that the life my ex apparently wanted was
one without me. That it seemed as if it was a big relief na nawala ako sa buhay
niya and that’s what I did. Hindi ako nagparamdam for a long time and I never
bothered asking people around kung kumusta siya kasi yun yung gusto niya, a
life without me. It was frickin’ painful to remember pero ngayon mas lumawak
ang isip ko tuwing naaalala ko kasi narealize ko na minsan kahit masakit sayo,
may mga taong dadaan sa buhay mo na kahit gaano mo pa mahalin, they can never
love you back with the same sincerity and intensity but that doesn’t mean na
hindi nila sinubukan. Minsan nasa pag tanggap lang na may mga bagay at tao na
kahit gaano mo pa kagusto, hindi talaga para sayo. Thinking about it now, I’m
thankful that it happened kasi dun ko natutunan na pag nagmamahal ka, hindi pala
sapat yung nagbibigay ka lang. Na minsan kailangan mo rin makinig hindi lang sa
puso mo pero pati sa puso ng taong mahal mo kasi baka sa sobrang busy mo sa
pagmamahal sa kanya, hindi mo nakikita na hindi pala ikaw ang kailangan niya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I really feel blessed na nasubukan ko magmahal at masaktan
and people may say that I am brave to even believe this pero hindi ako
natatakot na maulit. Your heart grows whenever you get hurt and you can only
give more the next time you fall in love. When I pray, madalas ko masabi na
kung hindi man dumating yung panahon na magmahal ako ulit because maybe God
wants me to spend a lifetime serving Him in other ways, I don’t regret a thing
kasi naranasan ko magmahal at mahalin, and boy oh booooy… napakasarap ng
feeling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Kay ex…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thank you. I’m a better person because of you. I pray that
you get the kind of love that you have always wanted. Probably one that I wasn’t
able to give you, but for sure yung taong nakalaan para sayo, maibibigay yun,
sobra sobra pa. ;) It has been years but I do pray for your happiness everyday.
You deserve it. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You deserve to be with someone who’s passionately “in love”
with you. Everyone deserves that. So please… please please please… don’t ever
settle for anything less even if it means spending a few more Christmases alone
kasi pag dumating siya, ang masasabi mo nalang “Buti nalang naghintay ako.” :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Going back… ang pagiging pa-fall ay
hindi lang naman sa lalaki dahil may mga kilala din akong mga babae na paasa.
Both for men and women… yun bang sweet-sweetan, caring daw at thoughtful,
minsan bumoborder na sa pagiging clingy at flirty pero once makaramdam na
nahuhulog na yung isa, biglang kabig. Bakit nga ba ganun sila? Simple lang
naman. They love the attention. They get something from it that perhaps fill a
certain void na hindi nila makuha elsewhere. Ang sarap nga naman kasi talaga ng
pakiramdam pag may nagbibigay ng atensyon sayo. Eh ang kaso, yun lang naman
talaga habol… atensyon. So when they feel na medyo nagiging seryoso na, biglang
back off kasi alam nila na hindi nila yun mapapanindigan.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Kung first time mo maka-experience, o
ayan na teh. Learn from it. Sa susunod, mag-iingat na. Hindi dahil sweet, hindi
dahil “parang” gusto ka, ibig sabihin bibigay ka na. Ang tao pag talagang gusto
ka at talagang mahal ka, hindi paglalaruan ang isip at puso mo. Kung gusto ka,
paninindigan ka. Hindi ka gagawing manghuhula at mas lalong hindi parang
makikipagsayaw sayo ng cha-cha, urong sulong. Matuto ka bumasa ng kilos dahil
ang sincerity mahirap i-fake. Tigilan yang “benefit of the doubt” at “baka
naman…” A person may truly care for you gaya ng pinapakita ng pa-yummy mong
ka-thing pero alamin mo din kung ano ba talaga gusto mo. If you want a decent
relationship, stop participating in whatever game he/she is playing kasi
hanggat alam niyang kayang kaya ka niyang hilahin pabalik, you’ll just fall in
a vicious cycle. Kung minsan ka ng iniwan sa ere, stop hoping na mababago pa
yun kasi sa totoo lang, yang thought na yan, diyan nadadale ang mga taong
pinapaasa lang sa wala. Wag ka mag-aksaya ng oras at feelings. Kung ano ang
outcome noon, trust me, ganun pa rin yan ngayon.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hardest thing I had to endure in the past week – remembering
how I once felt for someone. It was straight out confusing. Ito lang ha… hindi
dahil writer ako ibig sabihin na eksperto ako sa larangan ng pag-ibig. Hindi
dahil nakakapag-blog ako na para bang napakarami kong alam eh ibig sabihin na
nauunawaan na ng puso ko lahat. So let me be a bit vulnerable tonight…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know some of you have gone through something like this. Yun
bang parang akala mo limot na ng puso mo pero magigising ka isang araw everything
just came rushing back. Natatawa ako sa totoo lang kasi diba pag ganito dapat
naiinis ka, bothered, di mapakali? I felt… weird? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One night, I decided to just lie down and remember
everything. I placed my hand on my chest and tried to feel my heartbeat. When I
opened my eyes, I found myself smiling. Ang sarap pala marealize na kahit nasaktan
ka ng sobra ng isang tao, yung sobrang pagmamahal mo sa kanya noon was more
than enough to put your heart back together. Walang bitterness. Walang regret.
Nawala yung pain, ang natira yung magagandang memories dahil yun yung pinili ng
puso mo na maalala.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Going back sa first sentence ng blog ko… “hardest thing”.
Bakit nga ba “hardest thing”? Siguro dahil nung una hindi ko alam kung ano
gagawin ko. Will I allow myself to keep feeling this way? Should I just dust it
off and pretend na wala lang ‘to? And I did the best thing… I prayed.
Surprisingly, I got my answer right away. (That’s how great God is.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don’t know if I started feeling this way dahil… naman… 2
years na kong single, may karapatan naman siguro akong mamiss how it is to fall
in love. Dun yata ako naconfuse. I
needed to know if it is just “longing” that I feel o totoo na ‘to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Minsan may mga bagay na para mas makita mo ng maayos
kailangan mo lumayo so you could see the larger view. If it fits… if it is
according to what your heart really wants… if it is how God wants your life to
be. And that’s what I am doing now I guess. I submit this to Him and trust that
I am doing the right thing. That if what I feel is real, He’ll bring us back
together. By then I would know na may blessing na Niya and that He wants this
for me. But if not, I know for sure that better things are coming ahead. (It feels so good that God, finally, is in control.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Minsan may nagtanong sakin:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Paano mo malalaman kung tama yung desisyon mo?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now I can answer that because that’s exactly how I feel… AT PEACE.
When you find peace in your heart, you know you made the right call.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
