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

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.

Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo Review ♥

Episode 2 (April 17, 2012)


I would divide my review in to 4 parts which I believe I could dissect each one thoroughly. LOL! :)
 
The first scene that moved me most was when Sarah wrote a letter for her dad telling him how much they missed him around and letting him know that all the efforts he put in into his works are paid off because Sarah was really doing well in her studies. (I was moved with this, because I too is a student who tirelessly put all my efforts just to make my parents proud. Well, good job Sarah. Keep on aiming for the best.


Manny supported Sarah's graduation while Ramon was out of the country, working.

The second very moving part was when Ramon saved his friend, Manny. This is very influential to all the viewers and a very good lesson to those people who are blessed with good friends. We must and always be thankful to our friends. Indeed, True friends are those people who are not hesitant in giving up his life for his friend, and that is what Ramon did to Manny. He was so willing to sacrifice his own life just to save his friend. Rarely, we can find true friends like him!

The next scene gave me goosebump, the most dramatic and full of emotions part was when Belen knew what had happened to Roman, her pain penetrates the screen and all her emotions just showed up. She cried painfully after knowing that he just lost the most important man of her life. The breakdown scene of Belen is just so heart melting for all the viewers and all her pain just hit everyone straight to the heart. (I personally wanted to go straight to the television and hug her tight and let her feel that eventually everything would be fine, literally.) I must commend, Miss Sandy Andolong for this, indeed she is a performer that delivers very well. Great job, Miss S! You sure made me cry with you! T'was so sad. I smell victory and awards for Miss Sandy Andolong :)

This made me cry too :(


The last highlight is, “The feeling of guilt of Manny for losing Roman.” Manny feels really bad about what happened and the thought of him being saved by his friend is bothering him badly. He kept on thinking that if not for his friend Roman, he would have possibly died in that accident. He tirelessly ask sorry to Belen about what happened to Roman and promised Belen that he would always be there for her and Sarah. As always, Mr Boyet De Leon did a greaaaaaaaat job again! He never fails to amaze me with his acting spirit. Very versatile, I must say! :)





Lastly, this episode is a tearjerker; everyone must have a box of Kleenex beside them and an extra box for their seatmate! *laughs*

P.S.
I like how bitter Gloria Diaz is. Haha! *laughs*

Dahil Sa Pag-Ibig Review :)

Dahil Sa Pag-Ibig Episode: 03292012




I just can't help but make a review about last night's episode.

Everyone acted so naturally and amazingly, I guess this is one of the best thing about DSP. All actors are commendable!

Cindy's Death :(
First, The scene of Alfred reminiscing all his mom's good memories. I was really moved with this scene knowing that he cannot take back the life of his mother. He wanted to say how much love he has for her mother and how thankful he'll always be for treating him like her own. This made me shed tears. He captures the scene with his emotions. T'was so sad.

Second highlight would be the confrontation scene of Leo and Alfred, which led Leo blaming Alfred for the death of his wife. The scene was full of emotions. As a viewer, you can really feel the pain in their eyes while confronting with each other. I love how Leo carries just the right angst, it was really strong - it summarized the hurt and anger that he carried since he lost his wife, Cindy. Poor Alfred for he was blamed for Cindy's death. He wanted to defend himself but he just couldn't. On the other hand, I can't blame Leo for acting such way. He is at pain for losing the only inspiration he has. Life without Cindy is not a life at all for Leo. (I'm afraid that Leo would turn out to be a notorious political mammal and a bad dad. Huhu I really hope not)

Lastly, the breakdown scene of Leo. This was one heartbreaking scene to watch. When Leo bid goodbye to Cindy, he was at his poignant, and his emotions just penetrates the screen that made the viewers sob with him. And the most touching part was when he kissed Cindy for the very last time, I personally cried over this scene. T'was heart melting :(

* I still don't want Mommy Cindy to die :(
 And yes, I can smell awaaaaards for Mr. Boyet De Leon. *smiles* Hands off to his acting powers.

How it all Started with MB :)♥

I love you to infinity and beyond ♥




I can’t really recall how all this started, it just happened :)


The most memorable, RED BUTTERFLY ♥

Beautifully Amazing :)

I noticed her way back “Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay” though I never really make a big deal out of it, I just liked her, that simple. I didn’t expect myself to really get in touch to her since I am not that type of person. Meeting her wasn’t even part of my plan and most especially getting to know her was something I didn’t expect. Until I saw “Dahil May Isang Ikaw”, I just don’t get it, why I was really mesmerized with her acting spirit, she delivers everything amazingly. Especially when the team up of her and Mr. Gabby Concepcion started to penetrate the screen. I always have that heart pounding, lightheaded, butterflies in stomach nervous feeling whenever I get to catch them on screen. I don’t know why I was so KILIG with the two of them, and little did I know that I wasn’t alone, some people felt the same thing, and  t’was hilarious to see these amazing ladies who also admires their team-up :) *laughs* ( You guys know who you are! Hihihi *giggles*)

I'll always be a GLR Baby :)

I loveeee you both :)

Anyway, making this story short, I came to the point of meeting her personally as in LITERALLLYYYY :) Haha. Decided to visit Manila last 2010 and get the chance to have a little chitchats with her over some food. We had a long and most memorable day then. After that meeting,I just can't help but love her even more each day, she amazes me with her good and very humble personality, and of course IT WAS A DREAAAAAM COME TRUE for me and for everyone. I was like floating in a cloud nine whilst remembering what had happened to that day, how she opened the door in her car, how she smiles at me and my friends, how she bit every single food and how she even hold her glasses while satisfying her thirst. Everything was unexplainable.




Definitely, I look forward to seeing her again sometimes soon! :)


I LOVE YOU FOREVER, NANAY LUDS! :)


I sure am, A proud fan :)


P.S.

If I am to narrate everything that happened during our first meeting and how I felt during that day, a four hour narration would not be enough. I’d probably end up writing a good novel instead. *chuckles* =))

|I can't even recall when I wrote this. Ha ha :) Just found this in my Tumblr account and decided to transfer it here. :)|

A day well spent with Mama Bear ♥

A day well spent with Mama Bear ♥


Thanks for giving me one of the best day, ever ♥

060312|WhitePlains. 

When "The HAMness" went crazzzzzyyyyy!! ♥

Early Sunday morning, I got a message from my dearest HAMness, saying that she's on her way to Manila to see me. (She's from Laguna, BTW. Sweeeeetest Gesture) Anyway, without much ado I started preparing myself to see her in Morato and have breakfast there.  I bid goodbye to Andolong's Clan and thanked them deeply for allowing me to spend my night in their place. Minutes after I arrived in Jollibee, Tomas Morato. (Ham arrived there earlier than me, as always). Ha ha! Moving on, since we have not seen each other for quite awhile, we were then excitedly share all our thoughts and amazing experiences, we forgot to actually order something to eat. We started to laugh so hard and enjoyed each others company. ( Aww, I missed her and her "ACTIONS", so to speak) Ha ha! As we were allowing time to pass, we ordered something to feed our hungry stomachs then, while enjoying the creamiest pancake with a cup of hot coffee, we continued our chitchats and burst ourselves into laughter. That was priceless. Around 10AM, HAMness got an unexpected message from Mama Bear asking her if I was still in Manila then, they exchanged some messages but after a while, Mama Bear called her up saying "Pagod na akong mag text eh, then laugh" :) Mama Bear started to ask random questions, like what are our agenda for the day was, where we are at the moment, what are our plans and all. Then her unexpected words pop out, saying "Dito na kayo mag lunch sa bahay." And we were like "OMG OMG OMG OMG with matching nginig of our hands" haha. With that alone, our minds went wild and we both were very excited to see her. I also got the chance to talked to Mama Bear on the phone and told her that I'm dying to see her too and she said "Oo nga, it's been five years" I insisted that it's not five but rather it's been 2 years since I last saw her, yet she argued and I allowed her to win the debate. Ha ha! We ended our phone conversation with her saying "Sige, see you. Toothbrush lang po ako. :)"

As we rushed ourselves to see Mama Bear, we then started to screaaaaaam so badddd. It's like a dream come trueeeee again. I almost forgot my phone on table where we had our breakfast. Haha *Sorry na excite lang* :)

I actually wonder what's playing on Manong Driver's mind while we were screaming on the taxi on our way to see her, do some retouch and we ready ourselves for ofcourse picture taking. Ha ha!

Anyway, after a couple of minutes we arrived at WP, Q.C. already, OMG THIS IS IT!!! :) As Ham gave me the authority to ring the door bell, my heart then was beating so fast, as in so FASTTTT!!! Ate J, (Mama Bear's katulong) welcomed us in MB's humble abode dearly. As we enter MB's house, my hearts was pounding so fast at the same time very excited to see MB again, we enjoyed the place for awhile whilst waiting for MB to go down. Took some pictures over the place and made ourselves very comfortable ( But Ghaaaaad, we can't feel at ease during those times. Sobrang nanginginig ang peg namin ni HAM. Ha ha! Lag-lagan na eto!) After a few minutes, Ate J started to call us for lunch already, we went to the dining area and have pictures taken there, we can't even move our utensils and we even ignored the food infront of us, we were just so happy, JUST SO HAPPY TO BE THERE :)

Waiting for MB :)♥ We can'ttttt eat. We just can'tttt :)

HAMness ♥

MB's Humble Abode :)

As Ate J, started to oblige us to eat, we obeyed her and place something in our plate. In a fraction of second, a beautiful, mesmerizing and very sweet woman was coming on our way to kiss us, and I'm likeeeee "GANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. :O" Everything felt like it's my first time to see her, when in fact I already saw her years ago. She was so lovely and she open her arms and wrap me in there as she says, "Hello, kumain na kayo" :) Our chitchats started from then on, we shared priceless laughters, amazing stories and memorable moments then. I wanted everything to stop at the moment and allowed me to grasp everything that's happening at the moment. We took a lot of pictures, like a loooot of pictures for keeps and we totally enjoyed each one's company.

Happy to see her AGAIN :)

I'll be your forever HUGBEAR ♥

After a long long while ;)♥

Too happppppppyyy, I know ♥

I planned to leave the house around 3PM to meet someone special too, but around 2:45 food started to fill in the table again, Mama Bear was so sweet and ordered a lot of food for us, as in OA nga daw sa dami ng pagkain . Hihi. She started saying "Kain na kayo, kain na kayo." (Ate K, was in the house also, humabol siya for us and brought gigantics milk tea for everyone, CHATIMEEEE). We talked and laug a lot over the food and shared crazy ideas with each other, I started thinking then of living the house around 4:30 but when that time comes, "ANOTHER DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME, HAMNESS AND ATE K." We had time to "I'll not mention it here though, but I know you guys know what I mean." Mama Bear really was so sweet that she said yes to our dear request. Our laughter then was unstoppable and our chitchats were going intense and at the same time funny.

We couldn't ask for more. Yum!

Thank you sobra for the food and all :)♥


I'll not mention everything what had happened during our stay in MB's humble abode, because, If I do, I'll end up writing a whole good novel then :) Hihi.

We left the house around 6:15, but before living the place, MB was so game as she say "Let's have picture taking again before you leave" we took quite a lot of pictures before finally saying goodbye to her. She let's Manong R, drive us to SM and meet some good friends there. It was really hard saying goodbye to her, if only, only we could stop the time and enjoy ourselves to death in MB's house, we would do that, really! But nonetheless, thank you MB for making this day a whole lot to remember. ♥

Thanks for the Shirt Mama Bear :) Ilaaaveeeet! ♥

Pool Side :) -- The "KIDNEY" Pool :)

Hugbeaaaaaar ♥

|Biglaan lahat ng nangyari kaya di namin nasabi sa lahat sana na gusto sumama, SORRY! :|

P.S.

Dearest MB,

Thank you for making all these things possible for us. As we often say, "Dati hanggang magazine lang tayo" who would ever imagine that I would be able to sit beside you in your dining area and have a little chitchats in the pool area. IT'S A DREAAAAAAAAAAAM COME TRUE! Thanks for giving me another day to remember. Sabi mo nga "Let's treasure our moments together and be positive na magkikita ulit" :) I'll forever hold those memories in my heart, Mama Bear. Thank you. Thank you. I love you to bits! Beaaaaaarrhuggs! :) Till next time! ♥

Sweeeeeetest Mama Bear ♥
Thanks HAMness and Ate K for the company! :)

A night to remember ♥

A night to remember with Nanay ♥

 

Sweeeeeeest Person I've ever met! I love you to pieces! ♥

 

(060412)|BFHomes.

It was a busy Monday for Manila. Everyone was going to work and on. I woke up early with my two dearest friend beside me, Magace and Marj. But it wasn't an ordinary day for me and for my friends. Well aside from having a happiness hang-over after the "White Plains Adventure" it was another day intended to be seeing someone special too. Around 10AM, I received a message from Mama Bear asking me about the update of my meeting with "Mommah", well sad to say during those times, I wasn't able to receive any messages from her. Around 12NN, I started ringing Mommah's phone because until then, she wasn't giving me a buzz.

While waiting for her call, I started to worry about her not picking up her phone and giving me a buzz ( I dialed her number for more than 50 times already. Ghaaad! :|) . On the other hand,  my friends then decided to meet up at Morato and have lunch there and wait until I receive a call from Mommah. Hours passed by, people were going in and out of the area where  we stayed in, but still I didn't receive anything.  We enjoyed ourselves over a cup of tea and california maki while waiting for a miracle to happen. And surprisingly, an unknown number is calling me, i had already a gutt feeling that it was Mommah (I was literally shaking when I started to speak with her) and I sure was right. It was herrrrrrr. THANK YOU, DEAR GOD!!

The Legends ♥ Thanks for keeping me company all time, Mga Mare :)

With Mareng Cath and Kate :)

California Maki :)

Thank you, Mares!

With Mareng Cath and Chi ♥



Well, I'll not really write everything what we have talked over the phone because it would take me a week or two to finish this blog then, so to sum up everything, she decided to meet me at her house and have  sleep over there. (I know, it's like an OMG invitation). I was so shy to accept it and tried to negotiate with Mommah but then I realize, it's a good and a very rare experience to be invited by someone very famous yet humble at that. So I grab the opportunity and made up my way to see her. But before that, things wasn't that easy, well from Morato I had to pick up all my things in fairview before going to paranaque. So my friends and I went to Mais' house and got all my things, we bid good bye to M's family and really thanked them deeply for being so accomodating and caring. (So yes, i'll not mention everything again here because, it would consume most of the space. Ha ha!)


With M's Family :) Thanks for taking good care of me and marj :) T'was awesome to see you all again. ♥

Ate Ces, Happy and Mommy :)

Moving on, I have no idea how far Paranaque was to Q.C. and I just realized that it was sure a long and enjoyable drive with my friends, Legends.  We played with the traffic and all, we talk a lot and enjoyed each one's company, without noticing it, we arrived in Paranaque around 8PM.

Well, going straight to the point, we arrived at Mommah's place at 8:34PM. I was mesmerized with the place and the people in the house. In afraction of second, I saw Mommah coming down from the stairs and I'm like "THIS IS NOT HAPPENING, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING" thoughts were playing on my mind then. And surprisingly, she smiled the biggest as she said "Asus, hello APRILL" with the tighest hug. I can't even move from where I was standing, but I had to remind my self to calm down and take everything naturally. And hey I must say this,  SHE'S SO BEAUTIFULLLLLL, LITERALLLLYYYYY. INSIDE AND OUT. I WAS STARSTRUCKED WITH HER BEAUTYYYYYY. GOOOOOOSSSSHH!!! Anyway, moving on, she started to call her maids and prepare the table for us, we had pizza then. ♥ But honestly, I wasn't able to finish my entire slice of pizza because I was still in my "OMG OMG OMG Stage" =)) That was funny, we converse with each other, she shared some funny experiences and we enjoyed each one's laughter. Well, as always, time flies and it was time for my friends to leave, my sweet mommah, asked her driver to send them home then. Ah, so kind of her actually. :)




Thanks for bringing me safe to BF Homes, Girls :) Yeay! Very Supportive Friends ♥

Thank you, Mommah for being so sweet and accommodating. :)

Pizza time with The Legends :)

I love you three :)

Sweeeeeeetest Hug! I love you! ♥


When my friends left the house, the thought of me staying in Mommah's house started to sink in my head and I'm like "THIS IS ONE HELL OF A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!" :) Mommah guided me to the room where I'll be spending my night. She gave me a towel and all. She was so "ma-alaga". well, I couldn't really asked for more. We started to have some chitchats again and again, it actually took us an hour or two for our chikas. That was really memorable. Around 12MN she had to leave the room so that I can take the shower and prepare my self to bed. After then, we exchanged text messages saying "Good Night" :)



Mega Chika with Mommah :) Yeay!  ♥ *From Mommah's Phone*

Whilst, I was on bed, I still can't believe that all these amazing things are happening to me. Realllllyyy!! :) I just can't help but thank God for blessing me much more than I deserve. Thank you, Lord! ♥

P.S.

Nanayyyyyyy!! :) Saying thank you isn't really enough to show how happy you made me. Being invited by someone you look up to is something that I never imagine that would happen to me, but thank you for making all these impossible things possible. You made me feel special and important somehow. Thank you for the love. You know that I love you right back. Thank you, thank you sobra! I'll forever hold on to our memories, Nay. I'll see you the soooonest sometimes. Hugs!
