32 for Villanueva? 👉👈

Janella bites back the words that begin to form at her lips. The man in front of her keeps on talking, his luring voice pouring endlessly out of his mouth. Another excuse, another bargain, another lie. She had once appreciated his shrewd nature, the cunning intellect behind that plain facade of a face. But when she realised she was just another stepping stone for his bid to climb to the top. Every compliment he gave, the way he'd volunteer to meet her clients for her, every damn time he "lost" her designs was just him doing away with the competition. The tipping point was when he muttered that she was underneath him. He didn't think she heard but she did. She had taken a seam ripper to all of his suits and recycled the fabrics.

Now here he was, a week after no talking or texting. Expecting her to be fine after all of that. Expecting to be welcomed back with open arms.

He finally stopped talking to catch his breath, his eyes shining expectantly and a familiar smile tugging at his lips. She looked at him for a beat and he smiled wider.

She slammed the door, hearing the distinct shatter of his designer sunglasses against the door. She had enough of bullshit for today.

Ela é uma moradora antiga, daquelas que mandam mais do que o síndico, ela conhece cada canto da sua alma e por algum motivo ela veio para ficar. É estranho quando você fica triste sem motivo, tudo vai relativamente bem, você tem bons amigos, bons momentos, um amor para chamar de seu, um bom emprego e tem o afeto e admiração das pessoas que te cercam, mas em algumas manhãs você acorda e sente ela lá dentro, e quando você lava o rosto antes de ir embarcar na rotina ela está no reflexo do seu espelho te encarando com um olhar indecifrável, por que ela não pode arrumar as malas e partir? Por que esta tristeza miúda insiste em ficar, insiste em perambular pelos os seus dias, insiste em vestir tudo de outono. Você sente uma falta, uma falta de algo sem nome, desde que você se deu por gente é assim e talvez será para sempre, não se aflija. Eu penso muito nisso e hoje eu acho que a tristeza miúda não irá embora, acho que de certa forma ela estará sempre aqui, acredito que ela é tão minha como o meu coração, pulmões e boca, algumas pessoas são outono que passeia por outras estações, mas a essência é feita de folhas douradas espalhadas pelo caminho. Como explicar as músicas melancólicas que eu amo ouvir? Como explicar o meu amor pelos dias nublados e o fascínio que eu sinto pelas gotas de uma chuva fina que dançam no vidro da minha janela. Talvez essa tristeza miúda nos ensine a receber uma felicidade simples, dessas que vem nos detalhe, as pessoas andam tão ocupadas com conquistas grandiosas, em conquistar felicidades para serem compartilhadas em celulares, por isso elas acabam perdendo esses detalhes tão infinitos, detalhes que são capazes de transformar um dia, detalhes que sabem arrancar um sorriso do sisudo tempo, e nós os seres do outono sabemos reconhecer o valor de um “oi”, de um “como você está?” Sabemos beijar o detalhe, sabemos dar o nosso amor ao pequeno infinito. Somos o que somos. Eu descobri que enquanto eu quis despejar essa pequena habitante, nesta busca louca por uma felicidade plena, eu me tornei uma pessoa infeliz hoje deixo ela aqui, às vezes ela aparece e eu choro um choro sem motivo, chorar é regar um sorriso que irá brotar amanhã

Carta para os que têm uma tristeza que se recusa a ir embora

I am never on a high for a ship or love team in the Philippines. Until this one.

They call it... Joshnella. 😅

Actually, I’ve been following this great young man of an actor which in my heart of hearts I believe is the best in his generation. I’ve seen the acts of his contemporaries but man... man... this one is a gem in Philippine Cinema and Television. And so, I learned that there’d been some trying time for him because of his relationship. Which saddened me. But then, his career still moves on...

Partnered then to one of my favorite voices in Philippine music, I love her more as a singer than actress but, well... People were cool about the transition, as both made it anyway. 

The prime time soap was a success, to its storyline, plot and actors. Thanks to all the staff and actors that made it possible. 

But the fever blazes still. And it made we wonder.

Were PR stunts made along the way, or perhaps beforehand to pave the way? The female lead would suffer more if the tandem clicks and developed as a KathNiel and LizQuen developed. The male lead was coming from a hot tandem as well which cannot be denied. And what’s worst, the ex is a contemporary and known friend of hers. 

My thoughts goes then, was the low profile BF to be a buffer to impede a probable escalating relationship of the leads. Was it used to protect the young lady who suffered too much already because of a violent ex? It doesn’t make sense to see an exchange of warm post from each other in instagram while the BF supposed to be is in low-key. And knowing that this low-key BF has not received much success yet career wise. What does it make of him having to cling to this star? What sacrifice on his part, but apparently an advantage too... whatever that advantage may seem to be. 

Well, I still cannot buy the reality that the young female lead is indeed in a relationship with a low-key showbiz BF, but in the same way I do not mind if they truly are cherishing something real. But, looking from afar, things need to make some sense. Especially if I am looking at this BF’s point of view.

And so, what is the probability that some PR stunts were created along the way, to pave the way to a promising Love Team? For me honestly, it’s 90% probable that things were planned ahead to protect a young lady’s reputation. 

How about for the young man? I sense a great deal of maturity in him, I feel that what he’s been preparing for is his coming back to school. He needs finances for that and some more to sustain things around him. 

And who knows? For a budding beautiful ‘habangbuhay’ friendship will grow something more. But... this will count years if so... many years.
