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 have a soft spot for OFWs.  Maybe because I experienced living abroad and working part time to earn, it's just that I didn't need to send the money I earned back home.  The money I earned, I used to keep up with my extra expenses while studying abroad. My mom was strict with me.  She gave me the opportunity to study abroad but only gave me enough money to cover for rent, food and a little miscellaneous expenses.  I had to come up on my own, whatever else I wanted to spend on like trips and etc.   And so I worked part time as an English teacher.  My weekday afternoons were spent teaching kids English.  I would walk 30 minutes to get to the pre-school, and teach the kids for about an hour to an hour and a half.  While my whole Saturday was spent traveling two hours by train to a nearby province to teach middle school kids English.  It was my very first time to teach English, so it was a kind of a shock to me.  But when I g...

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*. ...
