I found myself quite frustrated with this movie, as my first attempt to watch it was thwarted by fully booked schedules! It's truly something to be proud of to see such demand for a Filipino film, wouldn't you agree?

The movie delves into the theme of second chances (and
who doesn't like the allure of second chances?)—not just in love but in life as well. Similar to its predecessor, it highlights the sacrifices we make for our dreams while exploring the delicate balance between ambition and relationships. It also sheds light on the immigrant experience and cultural identity, adding layers of relatability, especially for overseas Filipino workers.

In its most poignant moments, Direk Cathy captures the emotional essence of the film, illustrating the struggles of two weary souls who feel overwhelmed by the emotional toll of their failing relationship. Maka relate jud mga OFW ani and any couple who has been through so much in life and how they would navigate it when the demands of family and responsibilities would surface.

The supporting cast enhances the narrative, favorite jud ni nako si Joross Gamboa most especially with his comedic performance, and hugot one-liners,which adds a delightful touch to the story.

So mao lang ni ako comment: while the film successfully continues Joy and Ethan's journey, some plot points felt rushed or unresolved.  Then, murag di kaayo ko fan sa pivotal reason why they broke up and again, murag gi justify na pud kani nga act. Moreover, although the resolution is heartwarming, it leans a bit towards predictability, echoing familiar tropes often seen in Filipino romantic dramas. Pero ok ra pud na ang predictable bitaw kay you will leave the movie screens happy, dili kanang confused ka until matulog ka hahaha

However, I was really in awe of Kathryn's acting prowess-- she really has matured in this film, ni shine jud sya diri dzaeee ug gwapa kaayo jud. Naa pud subtitles iyang mga smirks, smiles and stares. Then nindot sad kaayo ilang chemistry ni Alden uy. Amazing jud.. Ako ra jud na think-- Gisayangan jud nimo dzong Daniel! hahaaha...

Lastly, the song "Palagi" was perfect. Maka smile ka nga murag naay hanger sa imong nawng , maka remember ka sa mga kilig scenes so it's now on repeat in the office, forgive us.

So overall, my movie rating for this is a big and whooping 8.5!!!! Must-watch. It's worth the more than average ticket price in NUSTAR nya 6 ra mi ato sa the whole theater, nag wonder pa jud ko if naka quota sila sa aircon and all hahahahaa

Watch na mo guys. But please make sure naka kita na mo sa Hello Love Goodbye ha para mas ma appreciate ninyo ❤

Three years of Blessings: Celebrating our Not-So-Little Angel

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post. I've noticed that I often find myself writing during difficult moments, and I’d like to shift that perspective. Instead, I want to focus on the joyful times and celebrate God's glory in our lives. Recently, our only son MJ celebrated his 3rd birthday on September 29, and I’m truly amazed by how much he has grown. For those who may doubt the existence of God or a higher power, I hope my story can inspire a change in your perspective. For those who may not know, I was diagnosed with Clinical Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APAS) when I became pregnant with MJ. Antiphospholipid syndrome is a condition where the immune system incorrectly produces antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues, which can lead to blood clots in both arteries and veins. In the context of pregnancy, this syndrome can increase the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth. Fortunately, thanks to Dr. Mona Yu, we were able to diagnose this condition

Pillow Talk

    Re-publishing a 19-year-old article: The switch was just turned off as the last of the senior facilitators went out of the room. Their voices trailed off, leaving the inside of GPL seem like an abandoned cemetery at midnight. Not a sound was heard, not even the whisper of a lost wind. I just waited for the signal and suddenly, it came:     “Okay, fellas, coast is clear!”       And all of a sudden, the once somber room turned into a milieu of excited pillows chatting simultaneously of the day’s events. Well yes, you read right. The pillows of GPL. You know, the green ones and the red ones you use? Well, here we are! Alive and kicking, I mean, lying, sharing what we somehow did to all the individuals we encountered. But tonight, I just observed my fellow pillows. I’m getting old for these things. I am tucked up in the corner of the simulation room, hidden behind the mess. I used to be bright red but that was history and my insides are shamefully sticking out and my zipper’s not funct
