AlDub - 4 years later

I am not sure why I'm writing about them 4 and a half years later since they were shown on TV. If you'd ask a Filipino if they know them, most probably they would say yes - I don't think everyone's a fan but I'm pretty sure almost everyone knows them because once, they were on top (they still might be, if they were still active as a love team, but we'll never know now).

Last Saturday, I was trying to fold my clothes - well, this is a weekly thing. Usually, I play songs while doing this. But this week, I decided to play a movie. At first, I wanted to play a Koreanovela since I'm behind my episodes already but I don't have the luxury to focus on the subtitles while folding so I decided to choose a Filipino Movie instead. While browsing Netflix, I came across Imagine You and Me - AlDub's first movie together as the main characters. This sent me to a trip down memory lane and that night, when I was about to sleep (I wasn't able to sleep though!!!), I found myself watching Kalyeserye videos all over again - and yes, I still got kilig and giddy (THE MAGIC IS STILL THERE) while watching.

I've always thought they'd be together but we all know it never happened. They're still friends, though - as far as I know (I read Maine's blog). I've always wondered what happened, why did IT died down. Was it because of poor management? Or was it because being together physically doesn't amount to the spontaneity of being on split-screen. Again, we'll never know. BUT, I honestly think that no love team has topped what AlDub did on 2015. It will be hard to top that because what AlDub had was something so surprising, even them didn't know it will happen. It just happened on the spot and the rest was history. They got no script, as Maine said in her first year anniversary post, Alden's smile changed their lives -- because that's how it started, Alden smiled.

It was a phenomenon no one expected, it was something so new: no script, no dialogue, just split screen romance no one has ever done before. It clicked because of the rawness, the spontaneity, the simple but very relatable story. Their reactions are so genuine it reflected and sent giddiness outside all our TV screens. Thinking about their popularity and reflecting on it, I'm pretty sure both of them got too pressured with all the expectations of the fans - it must have been so hard for them. That kind of popularity is hard to manage and maintain. The thought of having to think what to do next just to make the fans happy and to top everything they have done previously must have been exhausting for the both of them -- and that's on top of their hectic schedule + dealing with haters!!! What happened to them is surreal; everyone witnessed that. We're lucky enough to witness everything unfold on our TV screens - 6 times a week. Imagine that? 6 out of 7 days a week. That's insane!

I know for sure a lot of us wants them to be together but I think it's healthier for them to stay this way for now - just friends and enjoying the careers and paths they want to pursue. They have more stable careers now and although not together as a loveteam anymore, we can still see them supporting one another through their social media accounts. I think it's amazing they have the friendship they have now and we all know that both of them will support each other because no matter what happens, both of them can go back to the 16th day of July, 2015 where they opened the path to stardom for one another. And so no matter the pressure showbiz might have caused them -- I wish people would stop harassing them and being very toxic towards them, though -- I'm pretty sure both of them are thankful for each other and no one - even us, fans - can ever take that away from them, it's a special bond only them can understand. We all know that although they are NOT romantically linked anymore, both of them cherishes one another just the same. And most importantly, at least right now and I hope also in the future, too - they are both happy. I think that's what matters most, their happiness. They both deserve it. Because at one point in time (even now, actually), that's what they have given us - happiness.

P.S. I'm actually very thankful to their tandem because they kind of suddenly appeared when I was heartbroken. They helped me move on and made me realize that I don't have to be afraid to fall in love again 😅

Hello, Love, Goodbye

11:11pm sat, 3 aug 2019

today was a very long day for me cos i woke up around 6:30 in the morning to drive my mom and lolo to the hospital(?) to get my lolo different lab tests and then we got home by 11:40am. My cousin went to our house to talk to my mom and she said she will be going to the mall to pick up her daughter and i offered to give her a ride since I'm gonna watch a movie there. I took a bath then after that i texted random people that are in our area to invite them to watch with me but everyone's either busy or they don't have enough money (cos ya know school starts next week everyone's broke lol) so I've decided to watch alone but then i saw one of my friends back in junior high online and i told to myself "okay last na kung hindi siya pwede magisa na lang talaga" then there, she replied that she's really about to go out too and watch the same (i know I'm surprised too lol) then i told her that i will pick her up somewhere and there we went to the mall and holy mother of cow the line for the tickets are soooo loooonggg it took us 15 to 20 minutes to get to the counter and at exactly 3pm we finally got our tickets. Our movie was at 4 so we have 40 minutes to get some food and drinks so there we bought popcorn (ofc), fries and lemon juice. After getting some snacks we immediately went inside the cinema to find our seats and unfortunately we're sitting next to this beks na potang ina napaka ingay nakakabadtrip sarap ingudngod eh sana nag kwentuhan na lang sila nung lalake niya sa sogo hindi sa sinehan nakakabwiset so imbes naiiyak na ko sa mga nakakaiyak na scenes naiirita ko sa bunganga dami niyang kwento sa lalakk niya jusko naman naglolokohan lang naman silang dalawa!!! 😤 so anyway the movie we watch was HELLO, LOVE, GOODBYE !!!

I have one word for it which is "GRABE"

like wtf man throughout the movie mapapa GRABE ka na lang dahil legit na magugulat ka na lang sa mga nagaganap ganap sa buong movie. Everything was UNEXPECTED and if you will watch it or you've watched it already I'm sure you'll see/ you saw how great was kath's acting and alden oh my gosh he's my new JLC. The movie was very mature and very real, what i mean real was that it didn't end the way people would want it to end like the two lovers will end up but they didn't because that's reality, people won't give up their dreams and plans in life just because they fell in love with someone along the way well maybe there are some but reality check, a lot of people nowadays especially women will do everything to make their dreams for themselves or their families come true. I know some will say that "if we love each other we should stick together and we'll figure out the rest" but hey if I'm sure someday when something will come up you will ask yourself "what if i pursued my dream? " "what if i explore more of my dreams" and there you are regetting everything that you wish you did but you didn't because you settle for just love. But again, im not generalizing it im just saying that some people are like this or that.

So anyway....... About HELLO, LOVE, GOODBYE.

i just pray that someday I'll meet someone like ethan who will stay by my side no matter how many times i rejected him. I want someone who's sure about pursuing me. Maybe I'll reject you but damn if you'll be consistent and if you'll show me who you really are maybe sooner or later I'll stop rejecting you. I'm not being demanding or what but if you really want someone or you really want to be part of that person’s life then you'll take whatever that person can give and be grateful, for it may be the start of something real.

I also want to be like joy because she's really determined to pursue her dreams even though it seems like the whole world’s against it, also because she's dedicated to everything she's doing. I wish I'll be like her, a person who knows what they want in life and strong enough to fight every battles that life's giving her. I love how patient she was, how motivated she was to do everything for her dreams.

Joy and Ethan's love story was SOOO great. It shows that if you love the person you'll let them go and let then be whatever they want to be, to follow their dreams and to choose themselves and of the things that will complete them. Also it's really true that it's better to open up to a stranger because there's no judgement. And it's also true that if you love someone why would you let them choose between you and their dreams.

I love kath and alden's chemistry :((

Direk cathy you're the best!!!

All in all the movie was a 11/10

This and that.

I've been with tumblr for a very long time. I'm the silent type of user that's just lurking in the corner, sharing and reblogging all kinds of stuff I find interesting and things I can relate to. This would be the first time I'm posting something very personal.

I've been so invested with "ships" ever since I could remember but I'm scared that the people around me would not accept that side of me. Maybe I would look like a nerd (I'm not sure that's the right term) to them. I'm a hard core shipper. From BuffyxSpike, Dramione/Feltson, Dair, Ziam and Aldub/Maichard. I'm sensing a trend here, oh hello unhappy ending and forbidden love. 😝

I just wanted to express these feelings here because I will never be able to tell my friends about them. At least here, I won't be judge of who I ship with who.

So there's that. I wish I could do this more often (write/blog) because I used to enjoy writing SO MUCH but then I don't know what happened, it just stopped. Maybe this could be the start. Maybe it will come to me, or I will come back to it. I don't know. Maybe.

Another thing, I know this is becoming too haphazardly written, forgive me but I just want to tell everything that's on my mind.

I feel so down right now. I feel like I'm not worthy of anything. I feel like I'm so dumb compared to everyone I work with. I feel like I'm not... I don't know. Everytime I'm in the office, I feel like I don't belong. Why? Why don't I know what I want to do? I've had several jobs and everything seemed empty. I feel like I haven't lived to my potential. I feel like this is not what I was supposed to do. What do I want? I'm freaking 32 years old and I haven't figured anything yet!

Who am I?!

Hello, Love, Goodbye

It goes back to where love has always been rooted: in giving and in sacrifice.  

Nothing short of a truthful story-telling; truthful to the dreams inside of Joy in pursuing her path, truthful to Ethan’s words in only taking whatever she can give. It is a true manifest of love in its most beautiful form; when it bears, when it allows, when it endures.

Been aching to feel something for the longest time and this film gave something. Ang bigat sa dibdib pero ang sarap isipin na ganoon kaganda ang pag-ibig.

another year to start with full of joy and love 🧡🧡🧡
