I've always loved romantic movies.
I could name a few of my favorites now, but more than that, the other day i realized that i stopped watching them for sometime.
Years back, i would find time to watch them. Be it on the movie house or DVD.
Which made me think why i stopped.
I stopped because a part of me stopped believing in LOVE.
I was hurt. I was broken. And part of my moving on was avoiding these movies which only made me hate that my love story was no longer "perfect".
So, I added a to-do on my 2016. I will try and watch 1 romantic movie at a time and let's see how I do from there.
Since i love lists, let me share it with you.

When two people love each other - Really... Love each other - but they just can't get it together, when do you get to that point where enough is enough?
Look, when two people love each other - Totally, TRUTHfully, all the way Love each other - the answer to that question is simple, especially in your case. When do you get to that point where enough is enough? Never... Never
I think I wrote about him some years ago.
When blogging wasn't available yet.
He was the guy I liked sooo much at fourteen.He played basketball, he was great at math and he listens to Spandau Ballet.
He had a girlfriend and he thought I liked someone else.
At that time, I felt we were destined. Because fate had a thing for us. Even on the most mundane opportunities, we would see each other, or be given a chance to communicate.
It was the first time I felt kilig. Each conversation, I was so interested. First time I enjoyed talking to a person who isn't a girlfriend.
It went on for years, phone conversations turned into text messaging (nung nauso na siya). Half my mornings spent sending that "good morning text/quote/graphics" even with the network traffic.
I remember the feeling of secretly comparing him to a boyfriend I had, which made me end that relationship because I knew my heart belongs to someone else.
I liked him that much.
And I wouldn't forget the last long conversation we had when I was on vacation in the U.S.
We had a lot of things in common and so much more, but it was also the time I knew he never liked me. Not in the romantic way I hoped he would. Because if he did, he'd make a way.
The last time I saw him was on his wedding day. I invited myself (with my supportive girlfriends and no, we didn't go inside the church) outside the church and right on time as the priest introduced him and his wife as a newly wedded couple.
I wanted to do that as closure on my part. So at least I know I said goodbye.
And as I write this, I have NO regrets.
Because, if not for him or the experience, I wouldn't learn love, basketball and heartaches.
I wish I could say he was the one that got away, but he isn't. How could you lose someone you never had? Officially.
So thank you left handed guy. You may never know this, and I may forget the kilig i felt with you, but I will always remember that one time in my life with a smile on my face.
i know this, much is true.
I'm not sure if it's wise to write about my "fangirling" over AlDub.
But this whole experience has brought out a lot of emotions over this momma.
As part of my 2016 to-do, I wanted to write more. Write back, like the way i used to. And so...
I got curious about the phenomenal Kalyeserye tandem when picture of them 5 years ago came out. The Candy Fair picture. I told myself, if this were true, Maine's reaction when she saw Alden on the split screen was REAL.
I remember sending/creating a group message over Facebook to my self confessed AlDubnation friends. and first question was, "so crush ni Maine si Alden noon pa?" with the disclaimer that "I'm just curious".
The question was because it didn't make sense to me before, of why Maine would react soooo kilig when she saw Alden watching her dubsmash if it was the first time she saw him.
Through the course of the chat, they encouraged me to watch the episode where it started it all. If you want to watch it, here's the link:
KalyeSerye July 16,2015
One episode led to another, and I found myself hooked.
I would watch replays before I sleep. When I discovered how to live stream, I would "LS". I participated in the "twitter party", I activated the notifications on my twitter and Instagram for Maine and Alden and fans who would have updates by the hour/minute.
It was crazy. Still is.
I like that THEY (people behind the KalyeSerye) make an effort in making sure a lesson is learned from their episodes. Like chivalry, Filipino traditions and customs, love for the family, and forgiveness.
If you'll ask me,I'm more of a fan of Maine than Alden. (no offense) The guy is great and all, pero kay Meng ako aliw na aliw. Natatawa at bilib na bilib.
But the success of their tandem should be given to them both, equally.
So I question myself, why am I sooo kilig on a guy who's tisoy and super mabait ?(everyone who has worked with him/had an encounter with him says so. consistently says so).
Knowing myself, I prefer Moreno and bad boy looking guys. The kind you don't want to bring home to momma. hehehe
Until there was a video shared by another fan, where Alden was signing a wall. I knew he was left handed, but this was the first time I saw him write.
This instant kind of reminded me of a guy I liked before. He was left handed, was great in Math and was white as a bond paper.
coz maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
and after all
you're my wonderwall
