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.

They say, when you're happy it shows.  Being happy rubs off on people around you.  The positivity is contagious.  The aura is different.  It shows.  It's OBVIOUS.  There's a glow - *blooming* as they say. For the past few weeks, we fans have been served with happy & sad episodes.  We've been giving a mix to make us laugh and cry at the same time.  I have a friend who said that she found the episodes a bit dull already.  Well, to be fair - the start of the teleserye, it was *comedic* and light.  As the teleserye progressed - they added *drama* to the mix.  I personally thought that while Clark and Leah were in the US - the characters they interacted with were less, there were just a few people and so the scenes there (in the US) was focused on just a few people more specifically - just Clark and Leah! But as the episodes added up and storyline deepened - new characters, new situations, new issues, and new problems came ou...

Love hurts. There's no easy way to saying it because that't the truth!  To cope, you put up walls to avoid getting hurt again.  But no matter the height and strength of those walls, only two things can happen:  You get trapped inside those walls forever  or someone breaks it down eventually. Through the years, we've all built walls around us.  Personally I've built so many walls that I've somehow become numb to certain things.  One example is the *Love Wall* that I've built, unconsciously.  Being married for 6 years, I think I can say that I've felt hurt and unloved at times, and as a defense mechanism - I've built walls to protect me.  I've become numb and indifferent at times.  I guess life experiences make you have those feelings to cope. So when it comes to *romantic* love - I don't think it exists anymore.  Seriously.  I would often hear people say, *you already have kids - why even think of romantic things, we're pas...
