It’s been a while since I had our home all to myself and I only get alone time seldomly in a year as I want to go out as much for me not to make my mind wander and be melancholic again.
Lolo and the Kid really tugged my heart as I am family-oriented. JK Labajo was really good and he has range! Already applauded his performance in Senior High as the cool kid but this was a different take from him.
It also reminded me of my dream to be an actor as it’s a heavy drama while I found myself weeping and wiping off my tears. I just told my ex, I wanted to be a theatre actor which is true but I never told anyone that I really wanted to be an onscreen actor as my confident is shot. I’m thinking it’s already too late maybe bc I just entered my 30s but still prolly a lil bit hopeful as they say, we have different timelines.
Under Parallel Skies delivered a different kind of pain. The good moments and the giggles from those little and mundane things you shared with your loved ones are the same fuel to keep you going and the same fire that will consume you.
This is prolly Janella’s most kanal role and I love it as she really fully embraced the Filipino accent even ‘tho she has a western one when talking in English. Metawin was surprisingly good especially when they goofed out. It seems like he understood Filipino humor and is acting like one too.
The lines that struck me the most were:
“Good things never last.”
— it’s true. It’s hard to own happiness when you know the world is gonna snatch it from you, and replace it with misery.
"Good things may come to an end, but new good things will arise from endings.”
— and this rings true as well. I’ve had many doors opened for me when I broke up with someone last year. It’s like a rebirth of my self — it was liberating.
“24 hours. 23 hours of day and night. 30 minutes of sunrise and 30 minutes of sunset. But sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful time of the day.”
“Sometimes these little transitions, these little changes may only be a small fraction in your life. But these little fractions can define the meaning of life.”
— i never wept like this for a long time. It’s true that it only takes so little to turn your world upside down. And what’s scary is that little time you pivot, can set the tone for your entire life.
I’ve been nursing this loneliness for 12 years now. I don’t know how to get out of it because I always succumb to it. But I am hopeful that one day, I will be happy.
That for once, i’ll choose to be happy.
