5 Things about Hello, Love, Goodbye

1. Kathryn nailed it.

Bagay kay Kath yung mga ganitong character, hindi maarte, simple makeup, may baggage na character. Nakabibilib na ang bata ng looks pa rin niya. Ano iniinom mo bes? Gusto ko rin maging young looking forever!

2. Not the let’s go to two-three countries for cinematography / drone shots movie.

<spoiler alert>

Nauso sa Star Cinema yung tara insert country kapag gitna o patapos na ang movie. Gusto ko na ang setting ay Hong Kong lang. Tapos nandun na lahat ng story. Yung characters nandun yung buhay. At talagang pinakita yung buhay ng mga DH dun. Yung stages, feelings at mga araw nila sa HK

<end spoiler>

3. Alden improved his acting skills

O wag kayo magagalit pero di ko gusto mga old content at films ni Alden. Hindi ko alam, baka dahil sa story or portrayal na mismo. Pero rito, ok performance niya. At grabe, kamukha niya si Joshua Garcia! Parehong gwapo sila. Iba dimples ni Kuya. May chemistry sila ni Alden. Bilang supporter ni DJ at syempre da bez si DJ sa Madam Baby role niya (gusto ko isingit kasi ang galing niya talaga roon!), feeling ko mas magaling si DJ kung siya andito sa movie, pero Alden surprised me, hindi na same performance sa old materials niya. Bonus ok din katawan niya! Hahaha

*Sa Block Screening ng Aldenatics ako nanood thank you friends for inviting me at gwapo ni Alden at accommodating*

4. Storytelling was not dragging.

Di ko nafeel na may mga pagpapahaba ng film o unnecessary scenes. Mahilig si Star Cinema sa ganun. Aminin! Example na nga related sa number 2, yung insert mga linyahan at kung anu ano shots. Last movie ni Kath, yung 30% feeling ko unnecessary na. Dito hindi. Kung meron man, mga 5% lang para sa shots at saka para sa next item.

5. The movie has the Star Cinema or mainstream love story formula

Yung may best friends na nakapagbibigay ng aliw o saya. May mga linya na panghugot na hindi sa normal na usapan lalabas. Yung mga scene na ginawa para sa kilig factor. Yung may pageant or part na entertaining. Hindi ko sinasabi na hindi ok. Pero same siya. Formula. Ramdam ko na ah, si CGM gumawa ng film under Star Cinema. Pero P.S. Ang galing ni Joross at Kakai, fan ako ng mga ito.

Bonus: Si Jameson ok umarte pero sana improve ang pagsasalita. Spoiler alert! Ang saya ng pageant! Feeling ko pambato siya sa mga nagsasabi na di magaling kumanta si Kath.

Yeah! Thank you for reading!

Memory Lane, Bonds and Justice

They say time flies, it does. And like a wind, four years breezed past us. We spent the day with laughter, reminiscing good memories. But it is also a day to remember the week of October 2011, when a tragedy happened to us and also rant our dissatisfaction because until now, justice that Given deserved seems so far. 

I was trying to reminisce the day we found out the tragic news. Time knows how to bury bad memories. It was hard for me to dig the series of events. Was it a Monday? Where am I? What we did after we found out? But even without the minute details, I can still remember the sadness, the blank faces of the organization’s members, our friends, the handouts that we should be reading but instead we were in a state of shock. 

UPLB was in grief when the whole world knew what happened to you. It was difficult because you are our dear friend. And now, we just wish that you will soon get the justice you deserve, let the criminals suffer and repent their sins and finally make your loved ones especially your family get the peace of mind they should earn long time ago.

We brought purple candle and purple flowers. We hope you like them because it is your favorite color. We shared stories to you of how we are as we try to remember your sweet voice. 

We wrote our messages and maybe somehow you can read them. It is difficult to write into words our feelings, our misery and hopes. Because honestly, four years may have passed but there will always be regrets. 

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” ~ Abraham Lincoln 

Given, you spent your life touching other people’s lives. You gained friends that will remember you even after long years. Your family will always love and remember you. 

Look at these faces who miss you deeply. We are all wearing our smiles as we remember the good memories we shared. I’m sure our friends, even if they cannot visit you, remember you with all their hearts. Our prayers and love will never end. You will always be special to us, our Given Grace.

I have so many thoughts in my mind and I'm afraid no one understands me. But in reality, it is not only something I'm afraid of but more of an observation. In my mind I'm aloof, I'm different. It is sad. I'm sad.

How’s your day?

So, how’s your day? How’s my day? Me, fine, I guess. Well tell me what do you think.

Traffic is not as bad as yesterday. Work is fine. My body is in good condition but my mind, well, it is quite scattered on different thoughts and questions about life, present and the future. But I have a good distraction, the reason why I smile and scream a lot, JaDine. 

Today I waited for the #OTWOLMostKiligNight episode and I cannot contain my feelings. I am really confused. I am so happy and kilig but I am so frustrated because the kisses did not push through. But then happy again for the hug, affection, smiles, the background music with JaDine’s version of the song. Amazing. Then I became sad again because of the teaser episode. I think difficult times are awaiting because they still need to hide their feelings because they cannot fall in love. 

This distraction is so hard haha. I am always like this since I was young. Supporting different LTs or ships that consume my entire life. Then I know this is my beautiful distraction but after some time, I am back to my own realities. Reality of my difficult questions about my life and future and the feeling of uncertainty because I feel that no one understands me.

So this is my day. So how’s your day?

I've been thinking a lot of things lately.. But... I'm happy to have my happy pill, my distraction.. #OTWOLMostKiligNight

I'm looking at my FB timeline and Twitter profile and it surprised me how messy it is. I can't see a pattern, from being a fangirl, the shows I watch like anime, movies, Korean and foreign then local shows, my rants, articles related to leisure and my job down to my personal life with family, friends, loved ones and my desire to travel. I don't know if it is a good thing how it varies or a bad thing that there is no focus at all. But fortunately, it is my busiest year in terms of work but I enjoy a lot of things that are posted in my SNS accounts. Last day of long weekend! :)

I really can’t remember what is my first OTP. But I know, this pair made me happy. A real OTP in my life. They made my heart break too, until now. My shipper heart wants them together. 

[triciainprivate-blog]

My OTP, where have you been?

[triciainprivate-blog]

What we should really fear is not failure but the heart that is no longer brave enough to take risks and embrace challenges.

My blog is back!

Yes, in a new domain name. My fault, my bad, my carelessness! I was not able to renew my domain name at GoDaddy. Recovering it requires me to pay for a fee that is quite expensive. So, might as well get a new one. 

I should learn from this mistake. Tsk.

Well, I’m back!

Oh I want to try this next time :)

Rejuvenation

There are days you actually feel that you did not provide the best that you can offer or there are things you just cannot control resulting to not-so-good moments. Or sometimes you felt that it is just another bad day and you just want to start over!

I think these feelings are some of the reasons why we have weekends. These days give us time to breathe and start anew. The 48 hours we have is a magical time to do some things that will erase the past week’s troubles and prepare you for the best week yet to come.

So I want to share my list of weekend replenishments!

1. Catching up with friends

Chit-chats then serious talks with friends to catch up is an amazing way to start a weekend. With our busy week in front of the computers or meetings, it is quite nice to talk to good friends about a lot of things. Visiting each other once in a while will keep the friendship alive. 

2. Surprise yourself! Learn and explore more!

You have a lot of hours to spend and I think it is nice to use some of it for learning and exploring. 

I am always in front of my laptop, so I sometimes mindlessly explore new information. Here are my new discoveries!

The website http://mp3cut.net/ . It is a web app that allows online users to edit/cut music tracks in 150+ formats! Where is it when I needed a tool during HS for our school performances!

Another one is this video! I am a fan of Nadine Lustre and I do not know this show exists before. She is partnered with AJ Muhlach. To be honest, I am not his fan, but my perspective changed after watching this video. I am still not a fan but he is not bad here. And yes of course, I love you Nadine.

 3. Pastime! 

Each of us has his own hobbies or pastimes. And why let the weekends pass without spending time for them. We might be tired after work because of commute or other matters, so here is Saturday and Sunday to celebrate and give time for your interests.

So for me, I listened and searched for music and performances that I like. I am into Pinoy singers / artists and Bigbang. Sharing some videos that I like this week.

I really really like the song Kakaibabe, but this version is the best! 

Kilometro performance by Sarah Geronimo

Yes, Bigbang is back! 

4. Excessive YouTube, Twitter, and Tumblr usage.

Find videos and posts that will make you happy. I know these sites are not healthy if not used right. But if you use them to look for content that can make you happy, then I do not think it is wrong to spend time on weekends with these websites.  

In my case, I maximized them to catch up and watch JaDine videos.

The uncut version of GGV is so so so so much better! Funny! Hilarious! Watch it here: https://www.facebook.com/JaDineTV/videos/vb.727040680677958/820106444704714/?type=1&theater

5. Family and Food

And of course, the best part is being with family and eating with them. Spending time with parents and our pets.

Hope you had a nice weekend or if not, you can try next weekend some of the items above or anything that will make you feel relaxed and happy. I am now ready to face the week that is about to start. I am rejuvenated and ready to start doing my job that I really love! Hope you feel the same way!

I am hard on myself. But isn’t it better to be honest about these things before someone can use them against you? Before someone else can break your heart? Isn’t it better to break it yourself? -Stephanie Perkins, Isla and the Happily Ever After
