That Thing Called Tadhana movie review

Tadhana. Do you guys believe in tadhana? How about soulmate?

I was watching Friends the other day when Pheobe asked Monica, Chandler and Rachel about their thoughts about soulmate. What do you think?

Suddenly showing na pala yung That Thing Called Tadhana movie! Last year ko pa to inaabangan! Poster palang I knew it would be a hit. Tapos just this Sunday, feb 1, I was watching tv while ironing my uniform. Cinema 1 keeps featuring this movie. So I told myself, I. MUST. SEE. THIS. MOVIE. THE. SOONEST! And within 3 days showing na nga siya! And yes, I watched it on its release day. Woohoo! :D

Before you continue I should warn you that this may contain spoilers, a lot of emotions and a whole lot more of hugot. So if you think that you will not be able to handle them, you can always press x and come back after you see the movie. J

One more thing, PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ME.

Unang-una sa lahat, bakit nga ba sobrang gusto kong panoorin tong movie na to? As in soooooooooobrang atat na atat na akong mapanood to. Isa lang yan, alam kong sobra akong makakarelate. At yun nga! Tagos na tagos na tagos. Yung tagos na parang ginawa tong movie na to para sakin.

Opening palang ng movie, sapul agad. Sabi dun, “Para sa mga umibig at nasaktan ngunit umiibig pa rin, in short, tatanga-tanga.” Hello? Ako kaya si tanga! First year college? 1E1 days? Kung kilala niyo si Bobo Teng ako naman si Tanga Tinay. Remember? Basta yun J)

Ang daming hugoooooot. At advices on life. Oops lovelife pala. Paano kung wala kang lovelife makakarelate ka kaya? Simple lang daw yan. Magmahal ka para masaktan ka tapos winner ka na sa life. Makakarelate ka na.

One More Chance.

One big factor sa movie na to is yung pag feature nila ng One More Chance at binanggit pa siya ng maraming beses like hindi ka cool pag hindi mo pa to napapanood or napakaloser mo sa life kung hindi mo pa to napapanood. Yung lines ni John Lloyd na, “baka kaya may taong umaalis kasi baka mas may okay na darating at magmamahal sayo ng sobra.” Oh diba? Kaya kalimutan mo na yan! When one door closes two other doors open!

Baggage.

Sobrang bigat ng bagahe mo na parang buhat mo ang mundo mo. Kung hindi mo kayang iiwan at talikuran kung ano man ang nagpapabigat sayo, lalo ka lang mahihirapan. Pwede, sabihin mong kaya mo, pero, mabagal. Kaya, pero mabagal.

Baguio.

Lalo akong naexcite sa summer. Adventure days ahead nanaman! San kaya tayo papalarin ng summer ngayon?

Sagada.

Bundoooooooooooook! Inggit ako! Gusto ko rin magbundok! Pag may sama ka raw ng loob, umakyat ka ng bundok at isigaw mo lahat para gumaan loob mo. Hindi ko pa yan nattry pero gusto ko itry, pero kelangan ko muna ng bundok. Haha. Kaya please bundok please. :P

Travel.

Yun nga. From Italy to Manila to Baguio to Sagada. Sarap mag adventure lalo na kung biglaan.

Shooting star.

Pag may nakita kang shooting star anong iwiwish mo? Ako, sana bumalik ka na. Chos! World peace! Chos! Sana pumasa ako ng 2^nd year med. At gusto ko rin pala mag-camping under the stars <3

Heart pierced through an arrow.

Sa movie kasi na to may ginawang short story sa Angelica, yung kwento ng isang heart at isang arrow. Ikaw ba naman isa kang arrow tapos biglang isang arrow may nakatusok na sayong puso, ang bigat nun diba. Hanggang sa masasanay ka nalang at gumagaan na yung puso. Parang pag-ibig diba? Hihi.

8 years.

Gano na kayo katagal ng boyfriend/girlfriend mo? 1 month? 2 years? 8 years? Sabi nila wala sa tagal yan. Pero kahit na anong sabihin nila, nasa pagsasama niyo pa rin yan. Pero bakit ba kasi sa hinabahaba ng pinagsamahan niyo eh iiwanan pa rin ng isang tao ang mahal niya? Ganun ba kadaling iwan ang taong mahal mo para sa iba? Ano nalang yung pinagsamahan niyo? Lokohan lang? Ganun? Langit-lupa o taya-tayaan? Pucha naman oh.

Tangina.

R13 o R18 ata tong movie na to, hindi ko gaano maalala eh. Ang dami kasing mura! Tangina ang sarap sabayan. Kasi naman nakaka-puta talaga ang pag-ibig.

Kamay sa tenga.

Pagnilalamig ka, pwede to. Salamat Tadhana! J

Where do broken hearts go.

Pucha buong araw ko atang kinakanta tong kanta na to. Malala maka-LSS. ”Where do broken hearts go, can they find their way home…And if somebody loves you, won’t they always love you.” Tangina kung kaya nga nilang kalimutan ka edi mas kaya mo rin silang kalimutan! Kawalan mo ba yung iniwan ka, mas kawalan nila diba?

Pag-ibig.

Buwan nanaman ng mga puso. Bakit pa? Para san pa? Pwede ka naman magmahal araw araw ah. Babaan mo na kasi yang pride mo dahil wala yang patutunguhan, pagsisisihan mo rin yan sa dulo. Kaya ako pucha bahala na! Come what may nalang!

Ending? Bitin! Haha. Sorry kung sa iba okay yung ending, sakin hindi! Sobrang nabitin ako. Gusto kong malaman kung anong nangyari after ipakita ni JM kay Angelica yung ginawa niya. Huhu.

Sorry po sobrang haba ng sinabi ko. Ang daming hugot ba? Sabi sayo eh. Pero hindi lahat yan base sa experience ko, yung iba lang naman hehe. Gusto ko lang din maglabas ng nararamdaman since love month naman diba? At promise me na HINDI NIYO AKO JINUJUDGE sa mga pinagsasabi ko. J Tao lang tayo, nagmamahal at nasasaktan.

Hello! Ano pang inaantay niyo? Nood na kayo! Nakakatawa siya ng bongga! Sobrang pampawala ng stress! Nanood ako ng volleyball bago nito at talo kami, pero nakalimutan ko lahat ng yung pagkatapos ko tong mapanood. Hindi siya yung parang One More Chance na nakakaiyak. More on advices siya and may konti ring kilig. Halo-halong emosyon talaga to. At sigurado akong hindi lang ako ang nakarelate ng bonggang bongga, malay mo ikaw rin.

Happy love month!

Holiday reads part 1

Haven't been really on the "read mood" lately because of all the christmas buzz and rush. But at least I was able to read 2 since my christmas vacation started!

Bought 6 books from the #romanceclass bundle that my favorite Filipino author, Ms. Mina Esguerra, is organizing last november. I was so stoked to read them but can't squeeze it in my busy medschool sched. So I took the chance once my vacation started.

The first book I got to read was Save the Cake by Stella Torres. Cakes and cupcakes are becoming a huge business nowadays. Well this book goes out to all the bakers out there! But bakers or not, every reader will surely love this book.

I'm not into cakes and cupcakes myself but I loved this book! It has a sweet story about family, relatives, sweets and love. It's quite funny when I found myself relating to what happened to Eloisa and Gino. Hahaha. Let's not focus on that side of the story by the way. Haha. Anyway, Sean Alvarez looks so handsome by the looks of his description in the book. Plus he's very family oriented which I think every girl is looking for from a manly man, if you know I mean.

In the end, my rate for this book in goodreads is 4/5. :)

Book 2: The Real Score by Kesh Tanglao

I love this book! Huhu. I got teary eyed towards the ending. T_T

If you are my follower on twitter, you'll notice that I tweet a lot about this book the time I was reading it. Mainly because I see Marcus and Caitlin as me and Harry Styles! OMYGOD! Hahaha. This book is a reflection of me and my Harry! I know I sound stupid and hilarious at the same time but I'm serious. Haha. I can see myself and Harry in this book, and One Direction too, of course.

There's this band name Gezellig who's the biggest band in the world right now who came from London which sounded like One Direction who is currently the biggest boy band in the world who also came from England, but not particularly London because they came from different parts of England plus Niall from Ireland, yes I'm a big big big fan of One Direction, deal with that. Then here's Caitlin who didn't like Gezellig at the beginning who took the risk and listened to them and learned to love them, especially Marcus.

Marcus took Caitlin to London which I wish Harry would do to me too. Hahaha! In my dreams! Marcus has green eyes just like Harry. Marcus has tats everywhere in his body just like Harry. In short, Marcus Wayans = Harry Styles. :))

This may sound really shallow but this book made me teary eyed towards the end. Love will really make you do things you don't know you could and would make you take risks you never thought you'd take.

I recommend this book to every huge fangirls out there. You. Must. Read. This. Book. I'm definitely getting a trade paperback copy of this once it's out in the market. Definitely one of my favorites contemporary novels.

Goodreads rate: 5/5 <3


Current-read: Love and Other Perishable Items by Laura Buzo
(Thank you Charli for this book!)



Happy holidays everyone! <3

We'll Always Have Summer

Have you heard of the Summer trilogy books? If you haven't, you may read my short book reviews about the first book here and the second book here while the third book review is this blog post itself.

"Her whole life, Belly has been in love with the Fishers. Susannah was like a second mother to her, Conrad was her first love, and Jeremiah was her first real boyfriend. Now, after two years, Jeremiah gets down on bended knee and offers Belly what she has always wanted...to be Belly Fisher.

As Jeremiah and Belly head back to Cousins Beach to plan their wedding, Conrad comes home to tell Belly he made a mistake when he broke her heart. Now Belly must confront her feelings for Jeremiah and Conrad and face a truth she has possibly always known: She will have to  break one of their hearts."

Sounds very interesting, right? This last book is way better than the second book. I even cried in some parts of the book T_T Especially the part where Conrad is confessing his feelings for Belly. I will definitely miss Belly and Conrad and how Conrad will always have a part on Belly's heart. It's such a cute love story, childhood love story until they grew up. So cute!

There were a lot of twist in the book. Like I thought the wedding wouldn't push through. Like I thought she would be married to Conrad instead of Jeremiah. Like I thought there would be no wedding in the Cousins Beach and so much more! It will make your mind crazy thinking about all the possibilities!

I was able to finish the book last Thursday afternoon while I was in the waiting line for UST Med to submit my requirements. I'm on my way to cry already but I couldn't. I'm in a public place! Hahaha. Imagine the force! =)))

I'm going to miss the Cousins Beach! And the summer love <3

Rate: 5/5

Next book to read: Paper Towns by John Green


Have I convinced you to read the trilogy too?
