Everything's worth it.

Worth it for Mama Bear <3

I love you more than anything else, Miss LT!

One month before the Sinulog week, I was informed that Miss Lorna Tolentino will have a mall tour in Cebu in line with the Sinulog Festival. That thought alone excites me to death, since Dec 19, I started counting the days. I informed my friends who's dying to see her too that she's coming over, until busy days came to place, I never entertained the thought that I might actually see her. 2 Weeks before the event, I  tried to asked Miss LT if she's really coming for the event and It surprised me to read her reply "Yes nak. SM City Mall kami sa 19." And I was literally smiling from ear to ear with her message. From then on, I was becoming so positive that I will see her, we will see her. 

Then, to my surprise it was already Jan. 18, 2013, *time really flies.* the day before the event. I asked her again about her Mall tour in Cebu and she told me "Sa SM City na tayo magkita?" her words never fail to put a smile on my face. The word "magkita" excites me even more; we were exchanging few messages about her plans in Cebu.

And finally, January 19 2013 is here. Around 5am  I texted my two friends reminding them about the event and around 9 in the morning, I received a message from the both of them telling me that they are all set and they are on their way to SM, and I was like "Srsly?" Haha.  At 1PM, I was at our meeting place - flawless - in SM already, finally I've met my friends, told them that we need to go directly to the venue of the event so that we can position ourselves to a better spot, the chairs were filled when we arrived there, it was unbelievable, the show starts 4hours from then but people were patiently waiting for the time. So what I did was, I used the power of being a marketer, I talked to the guard and told them "Kuya, can we just stay somewhere sa left  side, kahit naka squat lang kami" and he was very gentle to say yes to my request. Sheena and Rica positioned themselves right away in the left side of the stage, I was left standing somewhere in that place as well. Then I approached a girl, asking if she could offer me a chair for a while that she reserve whilst waiting for her friend, she was very eager to say yes to me again. *Nice people, around* :)

While waiting for 5PM, my heart started to beat so fast already, I knew that I will be seeing her in a little while. And while letting the time pass, I received a message from Miss LT saying "Presscon pa kami, then Gaisano Tabunok then SM City na. See you later.", her message enlighten me so much, I wanted the time to fly so fast and have her next to me.  However, traffic got in the way, 5pm, they were not there, 6PM there still not around, 7PM not even a shadow of her showed up, then I started to worry so bad -- so bad. So I gave her a beep then she replied "OOW to SM and Traffic. Umulan kasi sa Gaisano. Hi and bye nalang day po dyan, Waaaah. See you, bearhug!" After reading her message it's like seeing my world crumbles before my very eyes. I was becoming very hopeless to see her and very desperate to be near her.

Then in a minutes or so, her name was announced, she was finally there already, FINALLY! As she waves her hands on everyone whilst wearing the most beautiful and sincere smile anyone could ever have she greeted the large crowd with a “Hello”, she was very gentle, and all I did was shout and scream to death.  Seeing her face made all those sacrifices worthwhile. Until that unexpected moment came -- that gave me another life -- when she surprisingly said to the crowd  "Manuod po kayo ng Pahiram Ng Sandali. Thank you po. And APRILET / CHE Hello sa inyo. Asan kayo?" And I was like "MAMA BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR I'M HERE", but she sadly didn't hear a thing because of the crowd screaming. So with all my might, I did whatever it takes for her to see me. Inakyat ko ang nakaharang sa stage, kami nila Sheena and Rica and I shouted and I argued with the guards around. Kaway na ako ng kaway at sigaw ng sigaw para lang makita ako ni Miss LT. *Feeling ko galit na galit na yung si Kuya Guard sa ginawa ko. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang paa na ang napakan ko sa mga oras na yun. HAHA.*

Large Crowd @ SM :) #WaitingForMissLT

Then finally, all my efforts paid off, she finally saw me, then she said "AYUUUN! Dun ka sa likod, dali" and I was like "Dito na po?" then the guard started to push me away from her, then her efforts were commendable, when she told the guard "Papasukin mo siya" then as I run next to her as she did to me, we embraced ourselves like it was the end of the world. *Sa gitna ng stage yan ha? **It's been seven long months and I just missed her* She was thankful to see me and she was happy and grateful to be there and I was the happiest to be next to her as well. We had the shortest chitchat and what we did was just embraced ourselves so tight -- very tight. And there was a bit epic moment when we were chatting because I saw a lady standing in front of us and I asked her "Pwede po ba kunan mo kami ng Picture ni Ms LT" and Mama Bear was surprised and told me "Kaaaaay, siya ang aming executive producer." And I'm like "OMG, sorry po. Hmm, pa picture po kami ni Ms LT" and MB got my camera and she personally hand it to Miss Executive Producer. *Nakakahiya yun, sobraa*

Thanks Miss Executive Producer for this! *wink

After a little while and a little arguments with the security guard, Rica and Sheena followed me to the stage where I was standing with MB. I pushed them near Ms LT and gave them the chance to talk to MB and hug her for the first time. They were very happy to finally see her *I know the feeling, been there*, *4days nga pala silang hindi nakatulog sa sobrang excitement* :)) After, finally seeing her, they also embraced Ms. LT with all their hearts and they hand her their gifts, sabi pa ni Miss LT "Naku, may gift pa talaga kayo ha?" . Then Miss LT kissed and embraced them.

Happy Kiddos. The 8hours of waiting was worth it. <3

As always, it was hard to say goodbye, but we have to. She’s running so late for her flight, that’s why we need to separate ways, she was very sweet when she said, I have to go and gave me the tightest hug for the last time and many kisses. Then as she turns her back to me my heart then was the happiest at last. Then for the last time, she turns her face to where I was standing as she says “Thank you. Bye. Muah, muah, muah. *Flying kiss*”  That was unforgettable and priceless moment!

I can honestly sum up everything that happened in that day in 3 words: EVERYTHING'S WORTH IT.

P.S.

Thanks Mama Bear for the effort and for telling Manong Guard to allow me to enter the stage. Thanks for the shoutout, that was unforgettable. Thanks for making my 2013 a blast. It was a good way to start a year. I’m more than happy to see you. I love you more than you know and I have never loved anyone else as much as I love you and I will never ever get tired of loving you. 

I love you more and more from bits to bits from eternity and beyond, Miss Lorna Tolentino.

xo, A.

THE AIMers with our very own professor Miss JY! ♥

“SUCCESS IS ABOUT ATTITUDE NOT APTITUDE” :))

Congratulating you isn't enough to show how proud leader I am for this group. Treating you a cup of coffee or two would never be good enough to express how happy and grateful I am to have you as my group-mates. Indeed, it has been a good fight!

Everything started like a mess, we got no idea about what IMC PLAN really was, we were clueless about what content can put us to limelight and passing the subject with flying colors was something we never expected. We even thought of giving up after those hardships and trials, but I'm glad we didn't. I sure am.

WOW! Indeed, this semester has quite been a journey with you and I still can’t believe that we’ve made this far, and I’m so so so proud of you guys! Thank you for communing with me everytime I say that we have to “MORNING THE NIGHT AGAIN”. We’ve shared so many memories, sleepless night, overnight stay in any coffee shops, playing around with the mosquitoes under kolk's nook, etc. Even if there are times that we can't help but fall asleep during our overnight stay in any places, but the thought of you guys being there whenever I call for a meeting is more than enough, the effort is much appreciated. I tell you.But atleast,our efforts paid off, we fought a good fight, guys! We put all our hardship to SUCCESS and I can’t help but thank God for blessing me with such groupmates like you ♥

Being the leader, I thank you guys for not making it hard on me to handle the situation and I really am sorry for sometimes I let the heat get off my head. Magninaldita gyud ko usahay, but I hope you guys understand that i’m only doing that for the betterment of our group. *wink* Selosa man ko na pagka leader gud, pero kabalo sad bitaw mo na ma okay ra ko dayun labi na naa’y mentos :))) HAHAHAHA! Seriously, knowing that all of us got a very good remark from this subject makes me feel happy and blessed :

Friends for keeps ♥

Memories for keeps :) Sleepless nights with the TEAM ♥

 

WE TRULY NAILED IT! ♥

P.S.
To our ever loving teacher, Ms. JY! Thanks for the unwavering support, Ma’am. We couldn't have done it without you :)
Dear GOD, thank you too for blessing us with so much knowledge and patience in making this project a success. Thank you!

Final Presentation with our Adviser :)♥ Successful, it was!

The Peerless Miss Lorna Tolentino.

Why Miss Lorna Tolentino?

I've been receiving like unending questions from random people, why I like Miss Lorna Tolentino, and the only thing that would cross to my mind when I need an answer is that "Why NOT her?" I mean, she's simple, glam, amazing, really beautiful and most especially she's impeccable and versatile; she's the only actress in the entertainment who can portray different role superbly and effortlessly amazing.  She's just SPECTACULAR!

Everything started not so long ago, that was technically year 2008. Though I've been seeing her shows everywhere and her movies too, but since I was too young to really think things seriously, actors and movies then didn't mean so much to me. I don't spend time watching a series every night and really get hooked to it; it is not just my cup of tea. Well I do watch but I never really get too affected about it and never get really too attached to it.

And when Dahil May Isang Ikaw started to penetrate the screen, everyone was pretty excited for the comeback team up of Jericho-Kristine loveteam and with the powerhouse cast that includes, Ms Lorna Tolentino, Mr Gabby Concepcion, John Estrada and Miss Chinchin Gutierrez . But I still didn't care about it, I thought I had more important things to attend to than just sit around and watch a TV Series. But surprisingly I got hooked up to it, I was impressed with the storyline and how each character portrayed their role, of course Miss Lorna Tolentino in no doubt was spectacular, she delivers everything so natural and impressively. She gets the spotlight effortlessly, she was that AMAZING!!

Then I started to really admire her big time, she's the only actress whom I’ve spent so much of my time just to research about her, I downloaded all her movies on net, whatever was available and I went to every movie store in our place just to buy all her movies, yes I was that crazy, even my friends and classmates are getting fed up because she’s the only thing that comes up to mind every now and then, she was the only subject that I would like to talk to with anyone, I looked for her pictures and saved it to my files, printed it too and pasted them on my wall. It was hilarious, I know, but I just love her that much. I even composted poems about her, and edited pictures of her. Yes, call me crazy and obsessed because I was and I forever will be. *LOL*

You can't blame me for being so “into” her, Miss Lorna Tolentino is superb, she has this amazing skills that would truly amaze everyone and she's beyond that, aside from having a pretty face, she went beyond her looks, she has a good heart and a bubbly personality, she treats everyone very nicely and she never cease thanking all her fans for all the love, she is a woman with a strong heart too, she just carries the exact angst of everything, she handles everything calmly and in control. She's beyond perfection.

I personally got the chance to know her more, somehow, it was a dream come true, of course. I've been telling myself "Naku, pag nakita ko lang si Miss LT, solve na, okay na ako. Okay na talaga Lord, pwede na ako mamatay." but when that finally happened and I got the chance to have a simple talk with her and then I whispered to myself "Naku, wag na muna Lord, gusto ko pa siya makita ulit." I was that crazy, I just loved her even more after that. She was so lovely and she's literally the prettiest, she has a face that would drop everyone's jaw. She's an angel.

But what surprised me more is that she would always, always try her best to reciprocate the love that she's receiving from her fans, you could really feel her love for the LORNATICS. It's incomparable; you could just think "How I wish all artists would be like her." I mean, who would expect that a Grand Slam Queen like her would love her fans to infinity. She's very humble and appreciative that’s why I love her biggest time.

 

I love her for being the best actress ever in show business but I love her even more because of how bubbly she is, how lovable she could be and how amazing she’ll always be. I just love her as HER. She’s just peerless! 

I loved her once, I love her still. Always have, and always will.

Indeed, I’m a proud Certified LORNATICS! Pang habang buhay na ‘to!

I LOVE YOU MISS LORNA TOLENTINO TO INFITY AND BEYOND.

P.S.

 I literally went out of my way just to have a glimpse of her, I was that crazy about her, but it was all worth it. REALLY WORTH. (Thanks of course to Miss LT for sharing her precious time with me, and to all my k-LTs).  My friend would usually tell me ”Naku, pansamantala lang yang kalokohan mo kay Miss LT, lilipas din yan. But I would always tell them “Hindi noh! Habang buhay ko siyang mamahalin, as in habang buhay. Itaga nyu yan sa bato” <3

Why I was hooked up with Walang Hanggan?

... Simply and only because of CharDawn.

"You are my one and only, my first and my last"

RichardDawn <3

The comeback team-up of Miss Dawn Zulueta and Richard Gomez amazed colossal viewers. Well, to be honest I seldom watched TV Series lately because my schedule would not permit me too and because I really am too busy with school and in my on-the-job training.

And one time, when I had a meeting about our IMC Plan, my teammates asked my permission to have hiatus for a moment and watch "Walang Hanggan" and I was like "What's that?" and they told me about the powerhouse casting of this teleserye, it was actually their pilot episode, so having the authority as a leader I allowed them to do so, as they were smiling endlessly whilst watching the soap, I was there busy reading something related to our meeting, then I noticed that they were somehow enjoying the story as the time passed by, so I decided to put down the book and watched the serye with them. The story then was focused on "Dawn-Richard" or "Marco-EMily" story, it was about how Emily hated Marco for being so boastful and arrogant and how Marco tried his best to prove to Emily how much he liked her. Well, I thought the story was a typical "She's poor and he's rich and the wicked mother is against it love story". 

Marco was trying to win the heart of Emily. <3

This was one painful scene.

But I was entirely wrong, I decided to watched every episode of it and I was mesmerized to see myself really hooked up to it.  Walang Haggan offered something new to the viewers, they had this 3 generations of love that was accepted by many and it is something that we the viewers cannot predict what would happen next, which I guess is a good idea of a story.

Technically speaking, I was expecting that I'll be a Daniel -Katerina follower, with the thought alone that Coco Martin is really very  charming and with my age gap as well, but I was surprised to see myself tickled pink with "Marco-Emily" story. It started when that stupid fireworks ruined everything, I just came from a short vacation then and I was too tired to get up and see my friends around the city so, I was glued on my bed and watched Walang Hanggan, it was Marco's birthday and Emily was invited, the whole cast was there, the scene was so dramatic when Emily asked Daniel to come back home because she's missing him badly and Daniel refuses the offer because he just can't let go of Katerina. Emily felt bad and broke down, and Marco saw her walking so fast with tears rolling down to her cheeks and he tried to approached her, but Emily was pre-occupied with pain and started hitting Marco's face, but then Marco tried to calm her down and told her "Hindi ko ilalayo sa’yo ang anak natin" then they almost kissed until that fireworks took place in the setting and I was literally like "Dammit, Fireworks. Dammit" (Haha Sinisi ko na lahat sa fireworks.LOL)  T'was the scene that I guessed made every viewer's heart skipped a beat.

The unexpected almost kissing scene :)

Where it all started.

Well, I'll not narrate everything that happened in the episode that night, because I'm pretty sure that the avid followers of Marco-Emily tandem or otherwise known as "CharDawn Penguins" can recall the scene better than I do. LOL.

 

So from then on, I always see myself looking forward to the next episode of Walang Hanggan and dying to see a Emily-Marco moments every now and then. As their team-up started to penetrate the screen every night, their names never fail to trend in twitter as well. Especially that "MarcoEmilyPheonomenalWeddingKiss" thing, it trends for quite a while, I'm really amazed how these CharDawn Peguins would do it, every single night. 

The Wedding Kiss. After 20 long yeaaars :)

Well, as much as I want to be an active supporter, I just can't do it every night because of my schedule. But nonetheless, I am a supporter and I would always try my best to back-read on PEX, check on the Private Groups every time I get to open my FB Account and I never fail to download their videos on my phone. Haha. And yes, I always look forward to Miss Viv’s BTS Pictures, which excites everyone. I sometimes intentionally stay up late at night just to wait for the BTS Pictures. Thanks Miss Viv for spoiling us, and yes I must agree with you “Dammmn, they look so good together” 

Honestly, It’s hard to explain why... I just can't truly explain why I like them, "Nakakalula sila, iba kasi ang uri nila" LOL. Haha And yes, I've seen all of their movies before too, thanks to Peliku.Net for keeping a copy of their amazing movies then.

Summing things up, I was hooked up with Walang Hanggan simply because and only because of "RICHARD GOMEZ AND DAWN ZULUETA", CharDawn Team Up is just so magical, they have this chemistry on each other that not even "Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie' has, they can make everyone smile literally from ear to ear with their simple holding-hands and they play around each other on the set every time that makes everyone so tickled pink. And yes, I must mention this “They are the only team up who kissed each other’s lip infront of a 15,000 crowd.” 

I have to say this, I am a Penguin now who's missing their PARENTALS every minute. It's just so sad to say goodbye to Walang Hanggan and to Marco-Emily. I really am hoping for another movie/serye for the both of them.

 A comeback movie for them would be a great idea, a really great idea. 

For now, let's just keep dreaming and hoping that one day, when we wake up we will see them on big screen again. <3

<3 A.

Just A Friend.

I never expected to like you like that.  I vividly remember that everything started like any ordinary friendship. You get to laugh with my stupid humor and you never fail to make me smile with your corniest jokes. I enjoy your company every time, and I love myself a whole lot more when you're around.  We spent so much time together and we never noticed anything or anyone around when we’re together. We’re simply the craziest around each other.

I see you as someone whom I can talk to about anything, and whom I can count on.  Yet falling for you is something I never expected to happen. I started to like you after getting to know you more and after seeing how crazy you could get and how serious you can be. I never thought that I would come to the point of craving for your company. I've been longing for your presence every now and then. I started to miss how you held my hand for so long, how you kept on teasing me like your little sister, how you played around with me like your childhood friend.

Your simple gesture started to mean so much to me, every little thing about you started to put color in my ordinary days. I too was surprised with what I’ve felt, I know this whole thing is stupid, falling in love with you is simply stupid, no not the act but the thought that a surreal friendship turned into something even more serious.

I wanted to tell you how much happiness you bring into my life now yet I'm afraid what might happen to us. I can't afford to take our relationship at risk; I can't afford to lose what we have now. I like and love our friendship and turning this into something serious might ruined everything. And I can't stand that, I just can't stand that.

Yes, I love you yet that's not enough reason to change everything. This maybe the hardest thing in the world, yet I must and will forever keep this feeling inside me.

I'm choosing the longer journey for the both of us. I'm choosing us to stay this way.

I chose you to be my friend, to JUST BE MY FRIEND.
