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...

For the first time in my teleserye watching life, I am rooting for a love TEAM.  Yes, a team - a partnership and that's #JamesReid and #NadineLustre aka #JaDine. I confess that I really love JLC and Jericho Rosales, I don't usually root for a female lead well, except for Judy Ann Santos.  But that's it.  I don't want like their respective love teams.  I like admire them as individuals.  But with James Reid and Nadine Lustre - I have this feeling of protectiveness that I don't want them to be paired with other actors.  Have I officially joined the bandwagon of Love Teams?  Hahaha!  I think I have! So what made me fall in like love with #JaDine ? I have never seen any of their previous work.  I've only seen them in #OTWOL and I was amazed with their rapport, their banter, their ease with each other.  How it's natural for them to show just the right amount of intimacy without it being too sexual or forced.  Natural intima...

Yes, it's Monday again. And I'm EXCITED. Why? Because there will be a new episode of #OTWOL !  Woohooo!! (Read my previous post on On The Wings of Love: James Reid & Nadine Lustre  ) I haven't been like this in a long looong time.  Giddy.  And I swear, what I'm feeling now - I forgot what it felt like looking forward to another episode to catch.  I'm nervous and excited and left wondering what could be in store for me!  I am THAT excited.  Hahaha!  Iba na ito!  I am glad that in this digital age, one can watch old missed episodes online.  I was very lucky to have been a given a link to past episodes. Last Friday, I was able to catch up to last Thursday's episode.   I think I slept at around 1-2am and I had to wake up early that morning to go to Alabang.  I woke up late, and guess what my mind was filled with?  Scenes for #OTWOL!  Ano ba yan Didi! I swear to you, #JaDine was on my mind.  I ca...

There was a time in my life that I was a teleserye junkie. I would not go out during weekdays and spend time watching my ABS CBN teleserye.  I was and am and will forever be a certified Kapamilya.  But I stopped watching teleseryes when I had Kailee.  I often wondered what life was before I had kids.  I remember being a local TV junkie, I totally forgot what it was like. My friend Alch, has been my teleserye partner.  Recently she asked me if I was watching #OnTheWingsOfLove the #JaDine love team.  I honestly had no idea - so I told her that I wasn't and that I haven't seen a teleserye for about 5 years now.  But it left me curious. I asked my mom and her helper - they told me it was very nice.  It was light and funny and very nice.  I got curious.  I asked my mom where she saw the episodes.  She gave me a link and I started to watch. I like loved it. The show somehow brought back forgotten feelings of *kilig*. ...
