the canDIshhh tales

I have said it before that the only reason why I wish #JaDine remains REEL is because I love them together.  I selfishly wish they do not get paired with other actors.  I am also selfish because I don't want them to have problems, like REAL couples do. Look at Clark and Leah - their journey towards finding love in one another wasn't easy.  It was filled with trials and heartaches.  And I don't want #JaDine to experience that. Right before the concert ended - #JamesReid said - in front of a sold out crowd at the Araneta Coliseum that he LOVES Nadine.  If he was a good actor or not, I didn't care anymore - because it felt and sounded very REAL to me. Even if I do not want them to be REAL for selfish purposes. I am very happy for them.  Truly. Hahaha!! Finding love in the entertainment industry is not easy.  Since it's reel - one might need to distinguish what is reel from real.  But I guess being paired together for nearly 2 years, i...

May I ask you to load and play this Video as you read this post: 2 years - that's a LOOOONG time. That is if you count the number of days.  But is it enough time to get over a heartbreak?  As they say - time heals all wounds.  It does - time makes you forgive, but not forget what happened.  It becomes a memory from the past - feelings get a bit toned down, but the feeling might still be there - hidden somewhere until a trigger brings it out again. Apologies for this long post.  I will cut it short so you can just click if you want to go ahead and read the rest or just ignore the link if you've had enough of my #OnTheWingsOfLove posts.. Photo grabbed from the Instagram account of Team Bonfayah If you ask me, I don't think Leah and Clark have moved on.  Career wise - they have, but personally, they're still stuck in a time loop of memories (happy and painful ones).  Leah has been writing to Clark - that's a sign of nor being able to move on...

Very Realistic. True to life. To tell you the truth.  We, the fans - the audiences know the solution to their problems.  We can say this and that - we all have our own opinions on what to do to help their situation.  But it's NOT our love story.  It's theirs.  We just watch, observe, laugh and cry with them.  And that's why I think it's painful for us to watch them in this difficult situation.   Because we are all POWERLESS to help them get through this. I can say that Leah is at fault, or that Clark should have screamed Leah's name at the airport.  But that's US and not them.  We can solve their problems for them, but it's not ours to solve.  They need to go through this for their characters to grow.   One significant thing in a great love story's success is that the characters need to have REALISTIC FLAWS.  One that is true to life, something relatable. For the majority, I'm sure most everyone would sa...

Kasi masarap to watch a nice love story over and over again!! Secretly, I'm sure we all don't want the show to end.  Diba?? I started watching again from the beginning (yes, again!!) and I can't help but gush and admire how much the characters (and actors) have grown.  You'll see a different kind of depth between the two of them - their characters and as actors.  How #JaDine shares a scene together?  It's very different.  You'll see the evolution of the tandem. In the first few episodes, you'll notice that their rapport is very still very raw.  It's perfect actually since in the story the two of them were forced into the situation and you can clearly see some awkwardness between the two of them.  As the episodes progress, you'll see them both be comfortable with one another.  Their ease with each other and their chemistry is seen and felt on screen.  Call me biased, but I swear to you - their smiles and simple gestures to each ot...

Okay, I will just put it out there. My head is swimming with ideas on the possible finale.  So, here are some ideas! Makikigulo ako.. But first, let me say - that these are all just MY ideas, nothing etched in stone, you know - just throwing it out there. I TRUST & BELIEVE in the scriptwriters and directors. But before the series ends, let me enjoy - indulge me if you will.  These endings are INSPIRED by these movies and stories.  They not necessarily have the exact same ending. Please leave a comment, let me know what you think!! Ending # 1:   Love Affair / Sleepless in Seattle I sooooo love the movie - Love Affair.  I was excited and heartbroken but I loved loved loved how these movies ended.  Love endures, LOVE WINS!  Meant to be..... I say this because remember the line Nanang Rona says all the time?  Kung mahal ka, babalikan ka.  So I feel that this ending might be possible. NO - no one will figure in an acciden...

As with all Pinoy Teleseryes, everything comes to a happy end.  No matter how many bombs were detonated, how many characters killed and have came out alive from nowhere.  Amnesias have come and gone.  Babies switched at birth, name it all those themes still have happy endings (even if they're crappy) So for sure, I assumed this much with #OnTheWingsOfLove.  I was excited because I knew the ending was a wedding.  For a change - it was expected and something very happy, an event we'd all like to celebrate.  Imagine seeing a wedding outfit clad #JaDine.  Wow, diba?  Such eye candy!  I was very excited to be honest and really looking forward to the wedding finale. But then weeks ago, when #JaDine were shooting scenes in San Francisco.  It made me think - where were the kids?  Where was the *family*? I was honestly suspicious, but then again - who knows?!  I remember being told that scenes on location are shot depending on w...

I have gushed and gushed again and again about how much I am so in LIKE with the loveteam of #JamesReid and #NadineLustre aka #JaDine. Last night, my Instagram feed was flooded with images and videos from #JamesReid & #NadineLustre 's feed in their own IG accounts.  #JaDine is always a good bait for me to click - so I did and what I saw my gosh - made me super duper duper KILIG! These two recently went to the US to shoot some scenes for I can only guess, their show #OnTheWingsOfLove.  I was surprised to see how much this team up has gained a following.  While exiting the airport, they were swarmed with fans!  I pity those who were exiting the arrival hall with them not knowing who they were because they were literally pushed aside and shoved and screamed at.  Hahaha!  It was that intense.  Who would have thought that just months prior, they didn't have this much following nor were they welcomed like superstars!  I was in awe of the su...

I am a FOREVER fan of Jollibee because of a single special memory.  It was at Jollibee Crossroads branch that my twin brother and I celebrated our 7th birthday.  It's memorable because, it was the only big party that my mom threw for us!  Hahaha..  That's why when Jollibee Crossroads was torn down years ago (to give way to Promenade & Gloria Maris Greenhills) - I was a bit sad. But I'm glad that I was able to pass on my favorite Jollibee to my kids!  They are huge fans of Jollibee, more specifically the Chicken Joy - it's their favorite!  I think it's EVERYONE'S favorite!  Hahaha!!  I have a cousin though, who LOVED Jollibee's burger streak.  When he was small, it was all that he wanted to eat.  My aunt would indulge in of course!  Hahaha.  I would remember my aunt buying a lot of it and keeping it in the freezer for future use!  I guess, you can say - that in my family, Jollibee is very well loved. As you all ...

GIVEAWAY ALERT!  In line with my 10th BLOGniversay - I'm giving away one (1) piece of the #JaDine On the Wings of Love Official Scrap Book AND  a James Reid/Clark Medina Pillow!!  Read through the end of the blogpost for the mechanics. Thank you for the LOVE!! ---- One thing I dislike is bad acting.  I don't want to waste my time watching half-baked acting.  I just feel its a waste of time. When I first heard of #OTWOL, I have to be honest - I had my doubts.  I mean, a virtually unknown (to me that is!) tandem was given a primetime spot by ABS?  #JaDine must really have this potential that I couldn't see yet. So, okay - fine.  I caught the bug quite late.  But it was instant liking.  I absolutely adored Direk Tonette Jadaone, I loved the lightness of the story, I loved how *kilig* it made me feel despite being cheesy at times, I loved everything about it!   I especially LOVED the talented cast.
