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!

Taylor Swift's 1989 album feedback

Can't help but feel more love for Taylor Swift's new album 1989. Every lyric, every tune, every beat is so perfect. Every song is different and each has a unique message.

Started listening to the songs right after the album was out on iTunes about a week ago and I almost memorize all the lyrics already. Haha! Why is it so hard to memorize drugs and diseases when it is this easy to memorize song lyrics just by listening to them again and again? Oh the irony of life. But can't argue with that.

I don't know if you guys noticed it but I've been tweeting a lot of TS 1989 lyrics since her album came out, like A LOT OF LYRICS. So don't get me wrong if I tweet deep quotes or stuff, they're just lyrics. Haha. I tweet to much lyrics all the time anyway. Don't take them personally. :P

I just thought that I have to share the top 5 songs that I liked best from her 1989 album, though I like EACH AND EVERY SONG, I have to pick my top 5, though I have to admit I'm having a hard time trimming my list because I. LIKE. EVERYTHING.

BLANK SPACE

For me, this song is like taking a risk for a new love. Taylor's like asking, will this be a forever forever or the one that will burn with flames kind of love? But I don't care let's just go for it kind of.

This song hits me fast like how a bullet hits you. The first time I heard it, I knew right then that this will be my favorite 1989 single. Not only that this is my favorite 1989 song, this song is now on my list for one-of-my-all-time-favorite-songs. Yay! This shall be next to Paramore's That's What You Get :)

Too much feels on this song. I think I listened to this song more than 50 times already since I first heard it. Yup. It's on repeat right now.

Favorite line from the song: You're the King baby, I'm your Queen.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS STAY

Word. This is Taylor singing for the typical girls out there who were left out by stupid guys who left for undefined reasons. Hey guys, let me tell you a little secret, girls tend to be "emotional" at times but sometimes you have to accept that and just be there for them. And they would appreciate that. But once you lost that trust, she'll be gone forever before you even know it.

Favorite line from the song: All you had to do was stay, had me in the palm of your hand then why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in.

STYLE

I read somewhere that Taylor composed this song inspired by Harry Styles. Which if you have time to read the lyrics, are of good things and not of bitterness naman. It's a different TS song like a Miami-vice kind of ambiance, very Harry Styles style. And when you listen to the lyrics, they practically describes Harry.

Favorite line from the song: You got that James Dean day dream look in your eyes.

HOW YOU GET A GIRL

This one's a slow pop song I think, with its fast beat and all. It's a song she made for her guy fans like Taylor's teaching them how they can get a girl that they like and telling them how would it be like losing a girl that you like.

Favorite line from the song: I want you for worse or for better. I would wait forever and ever. Broke your heart, I'll put it back together.

YOU ARE IN LOVE

I love how chill this song starts. It's like you're inside a shelter beside a river and you can hear the water running while you're alone with the one you love. And just by listening to it, you'll feel in love even though you really are not. And there's a part somewhere near the ending where it feels so magical like I can imagine two people who are unaware of what they feel between each other suddenly felt each other's sparks. So lovely! <3

Taylor describes the feelings and emotions one would feel when you're in love. If the things she said here basically describes what you feel right now, then I think you're in love too. And go for it! You only have like what few years to live and you'll just let it slip away? Take the chance! Take the risk!

Favorite line from the song: You can hear it in the silence. You can feel it on the way home. You can see it with the lights out.



I don't know man but her songs are like my source of oxygen right now. I. LOVE. THEM. TOO. MUCH.


PS.
I was supposed to attach a lyric video of the songs from youtube but youtube won't let them play. Anyway, just youtube them and listen to them coz they're all perfect! :)

The Selection Trilogy: The One

Hi hi hi! I'm so excited to share with you my The Selection series experience. It has been a great adventure with America and Prince Maxon, from The Selection to The Elite until to The One. *curtsy*

Before I even begin with The One, I blogged about the first two books here, The Selection and The Elite, last year when I got to read it. I read it during my sembreak on my first year in med school. Actually, I spent my entire sembreak that time reading tons of books. Haha. :P

So I read the first two books last October 2013 and got soooooo bitin kasi March 2014 pa raw irerelease ang third book. Why you let us hanging Kiera Cass? Huhu. So anyway, wala naman akong magagawa but to wait. Until March 2014 they announced that they'll release the 3rd book on May 2014. Whhhyyyyy you prolong my agony? So I had to wait again. All I do is wait. #hugot

And then the time comes! A month before the release date, photos of trade paperback books of The One are trending in the bookworm world in the internet and that got me more excited. I. Can't. Wait. To read it!

Last wednesday night, I started reading it. I don't know why I waited weeks after the release before I read it. Stupid me. I don't know, I'm just really weird. And I got to finish it last night! Aaaaaand here's goes nothing.

Prince Maxon is just the sweetest! Gaaaah! I know princes are supposed to be sweet since they are "the prince", but Prince Maxon is just plain different.

From 35 girls down to 4 with Lady America on the top, who will Prince Maxon choose to be The One? One way to find out! Read the book :)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT HERE. If you don't want to be spoiled, then skip this part.

After what happened in the Report, King Clarkson is definitely voting America out for the crown. But Prince Maxon won't let her go just like that and obviously, he fought for her and made her stay. But despite all the fighting, America and Prince Maxon seems to still have problems. They obviously both love each other pero they're denying pa eh. Kasi ba namaaan! Hahaha. Ramdam ko eh noh. :))

You gotta pour hate on King Clarkson here. So much for a king. Ugh. And more more love on Queen Amberly. Especially that time when Lady America teased her for calling her Mom and Queen Amberly said that she can't wait to hear her say that everytime. Awwww. <3

How about the other Elites, Celeste, Kriss and Elise? I'm glad Celeste came into her senses and became one of America's best bud. But I'm very sad that their friendship had to end so soon. I wish I could see more of Celeste as this new girl. One horrible fiction death I will never get over with, again.

Why did Kiera Cass have to kill America's father? This is the part where I started crying! Huhuhu. Just like America, I'm so attached to my father and just like my father, her dad died because of a heart failure. Our stars are aligned, now where's my Prince Maxon? Hahaha. Another fiction death I'll never get over with. Here is a screencap of her father's last words to America which made me broke down in tears. I miss my Dad soooo muuuuuch. T__T

To cut the story short, you'll definitely love the ending. Ang cheesy lang ni Prince Maxon! Hahaha. Ang cute niyaaaa, so sweeeeet <3 Just read it and be kilig! Sobrang kinilig ako to the point na while he was proposing to America, I was crying. Yes! I cried on his proposal, and that's the first propsal ever na napaiyak ako. T___T So much feels right thur.

Can't wait to buy the boxed set once they're out. This series must have a space on my future library. They definitely deserve a spot there. Gotta love royalty romance.

Now I'm having a hard time coping with reality again. Fiction does this to me everytime and I think I'll never get used to it.

Thank you Kiera Cass for writing one of the best books I've ever read. <3
