I Love You. Thank You. [2015]

November 13, 2016

Shang Cineplex, Shangri-La Plaza, Cinema 4

From the title itself, you can already determine that it is a sad love story because of the unrequited love. A love that is not returned but recognized by saying "Thank you".

There's so much in this story that I can relate with. Actually, the character of Paul (Joross Gamboa) is like it was written based on my story (less Tang). Someone who's life is a total mess. No direction. No self-worth. So much in love to someone who can't give the love back.

Not much more to say but this movie made me cry a lot because I used to hear, say or experience myself of the characters' lines.

I am much of the character of Paul who falls in love but doesn't expect anything in return. Just falling in love is enough. I am also like Red (Prince Stefan) and Tang (Ae Pattawan), if given the chance, give my best, chase if necessary and at least give a fight for that love. I always wonder, why there are Ivan (CJ Reyes), in this world, whom who can't tell you directly to your face that they're not happy with your relationship instead they just leave you hanging without any traces. No messages, no goodbyes, no whatsoever to answer all your "why's" and "what if's". My heart crushed when Ivan left Red.

The only consolation Paul and Red has, they're both torn between the one they love and the one who love them (I remember KZ Tandingan's song, "Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako").

When Tang's story's untold, the one who quietly wait, that was the first tears drops to my checks. I don't know. I can somehow felt his pain of being always there to someone you love (in this case, his grandfather who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease) but keep on looking the younger him.

When Ivan showed up, the one who got away, and heard his side of the story, I'm still not convinced. Maybe because we have different way of coping ourselves in the situation. Even I already knew why he left, I'm still mad at him. I can't accept his self-centered reasons. Oh gosh, why I'm so affected to this? Is this my story? Seriously?

Quote/question that I liked: "Who got more pain, the one went away or the one who is left behind?" 

Verdict: Rating 4/5

That Thing Called Tadhana [2015]

February 10, 2015
SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City

I been looking for Red Ribbon's Bangus Ala Pobre for awhile now but I can't find any until this day. Good thing, SM Megamall branch still offer this menu. Although the taste is not really the same as before but still I'd like to say, this is still one of my favorites.

After dinner, we went to cinema 9 to watch an indie film That Thing Called Tadhana starring Angelica Panganiban and JM de Guzman. I must say this movie made me laugh and clap most of the time. I can't hide the feeling that I like this movie a lot. Highly recommended to all adults who fall in love, fall out of love, experience break ups and moving on.

Christmas Get-Together 2014

December 19, 2014

Starbucks, Greenfield District, The Portal, Mandaluyong City

We were celebrating our Christmas this year by having this gathering of people who's been there for quite sometime now. I missed these people. They were all busy with their different lives now but still for the occasion like this, they managed to insert it in their busy schedules. And its like, this is something I always look forward too coz its kinda tradition already, you know. Unfortunately the others had prior commitments. Sad :(

Of course, this gathering starts with a dinner at Icebergs-Robinsons Galleria. Then moved to Veranda but there were no available spaces for us, so we decided to moved to Greenfield District. Sweet catch-up moments, plans, smiles and the laughs. Hayz.. Last year, kinda serious a bit coz they talked a lot about business but this time, travel and adventure. Wow, can't wait for it. Hope I can join them. Cross fingers!

This is my first time here but my second banchetto. My first was in Eastwood City. I must say this place is a lot bigger than in Eastwood City. But the foods, I think I like better in Eastwood City.

Starbucks at 515 Shaw

515 Shaw, 1555 Shaw Blvd. corner Laurel St., Mandaluyong City

Harangan man ng ulan, matinding pila sa jeep ay hindi paawat ang pagpunta sa unang araw ng 515 Shaw branch. Natawa lang ako dito kc may nakasabay kami na kakilala ni Rich sa jeep. Ang sabi "Bakit doon pa, marami naman sa malapit, meron sa Megamall, meron jan oh sa harap (pointing Worldwide Corporate Center, Shaw Blvd.) at marami sa Ortigas". Well, ang hirap namang sagutin. Next question please!
