For a little while this space has been my favorite confidante. It has given me a place to share my most intimate thoughts, my most personal views. I have relied on it to get me through the days when I am teeming with the excitement, the inspiration, the passion that I have for this modern-day TV fairy tale. It’s been quite interesting, to say the least. The blog has now been visited more than half a million times. No tags, no keywords, and never monetized.
But I will never take credit for something that is not my sole doing. If not for the phenomenon that is Aldub, the traffic to the site would have been as clear as an old town dirt road. The most brilliant writers all over the world can write the best literary pieces known to men, but without the right subject and the right audience they will remain obscure, indistinct.
After Tamang Panahon I realized that I have been stuck on a chapter’s end for a bit too long. To see what lies ahead, to know how my own story will progress along, I felt the need to finally turn the page over. So I busied myself with things I normally got myself busy with before my madness- studying, competition shooting, HTPC building, Islands of Adventure- Orlando, Netflix, Xbox One, Steam. That’s a lotta stuff to be excited about, right?
Wrong.
I find myself each and every night staring at my blank laptop screen. It has become a burden trying to find the words I need to articulate what I want to say. Every letter seems out of place, every sentence incongruous, every line is losing all meaning. It is not for a lack of insights nor of thoughts. I have so much inside that I am dying to tell the world- but woefully I no longer seem to know how to get them down into words.
Then I regress back into watching replays of Kalyeserye.
Maybe I am melodramatic, but even though I find these episodes a bit cyclic and more deliberate I still find myself captivated. I laugh, I smile, I tear up every once in a while. It does not help that Alden seems to be showing real sincerity nowadays, the big change screaming the evident reversal of character between him and Maine. And it does not help that Meng has bloomed a whole lot since! Can I make it any more obvious?
Oh well.
I know someday I can get over you guys. Today may not be the day, but someday.
Balang araw, magbabalik-tanaw ako sa mga sandaling ako’y inyong napaluha at ako’y mapapangiti. Balang araw, magbabalik-tanaw ako sa mga sandaling ako’y inyong napangiti at ako’y mapapaluha.
But right now, I just can’t.
I give up.
I give in. ~ Vilo

I told myself I had to get back to reading serioua stuff on such and such that relates to my work. But man, when I find myself in some lull time.

Relate much Sir Vilo.. minsan feeling ko, pabalik na ako sa normal, “pawala na addiction ko” pero bumabalik sya. Naisip ko talaga na kelangan ko na mai-rehabilitate. Ngayon lang talaga ako nagkaganito.
Naiimagine ko talaga ang sarili ko maybe a year or more from now, pag nag subside na yun addiction, lagi akong matatawa ng sobra pag naalala ko kung gaano nakaapekto sakin ang ALDUB.. pag naisip ko na pag malungkot sila, malungkot din ako, pag masaya sila ang saya ko din. Yun bad trip ka sa umaga pero pag nakita mo na may magandang nangyari sa aldub, good vibes ka na ulit. At pag maiisip ko kung panu yun pagtatago ko ng kilig lalo na pag nasa office., yun struggle ko sa pagpipigil mapangiti habang nakaharap sa monitor, yun mahuli ng boss mo na nakangiti sa harap ng monitor at nung silipin ang monitor mo alt + tab agad at nakita nya na project related drawing o docs ang nasa harap mo pero nakangiti ka? Kung ikaw ang boss ko, magdududa ka ba?? Hahaha.
Pero seriously, yun experience and feelings I have for ALDUB as a fan right now, gusto ko i-balik tanaw balang araw.

why the hell am feeling same.. one of your episode made me cry (I saw what you did there).I almost hated A for that but came to realize that we can not take hold of their feelings. I also tried to move on find some other interesting movies or series but I always find myself going back to the past episodes of KS and trying to watch carefully and observe. I don’t know what happened to me since I read one topic on some site that A was courting Pat, I was hurt ( I don’t know maybe it’s because of M, I was once also on a situation where in I hoped for nothing HAHAHa,, stupid me).I became more desperate for an answer to that then yesterday I saw someone posted a photo of Pat with her bf ( don’t know if true) but I felt relieved… I got used to rushing home from work to watch KS or to have an update about ALDUB. I am obviously addicted to the tandem. And no matter what I will be a fan of them even the limelight may drift from their tandem. I got broken hearted( from a 3 year relationship) and I was so depressed until last august my cousin showed me that show. At first I was not interested but she insisted me to watch, she was delighted when laughed loudly (It has been a month that I was always quiet, she said). KS has been my past time since then until I finally feel that I no longer have the hurt feelings. I even saw him last week and I felt nothing that time, no hate no pain nor love for him. I am totally healed it is true that laugher is the best medicine and KS was my way. it maybe an exaggeration for others but I is true. For this I am thankful.
let’s all hang on to the tandem. but let us not pressure them about falling for each other.

No. You’re not exaggerating because I feel the same way. I too have been hurt because of a guy whom I think loves me but turned out that we both love men. Aldub has been my cure since then.

At first, like the others, I felt disappointed in A’s inconsistencies. Not until I started to doubt M too. Yes Alden is a little bit stoic when it comes to his statements but parang naisip ko that It is somehow unfair for Alden to get these hate/bash for the past few months. Alden is already in Showbiz for about 5 years now. So mas public ang life niya compared to M. Pero what if there is something going on around M’s circle? Note that all of M’s closest friends are non-showbiz persons. I think she’s already through with her ex HS BF and PP. But this MV guy parang may something pa rin eh… I’m really a big fan of Maine and na frustrate din ako kay Alden dati pero nung inevaluate ko mabuti medyo mas naisip ko lang na mas kawawa si Alden.

There are crumbs left on the trail if we look at the past and the present posts of Bella optimistic in her blog, same as well with her tweets. Might as well be the reason RJ is holding back and safe with his answer every time ask the question ‘can reel become real?’, he may had an idea about M’s present status. MV’s sudden disappearance in social media by making his accounts private, made it more suspicious, after that magical July 16 incident. Even pictures in IG, and tweets, messages in FB that were posted in MV’s and Meng’s account were kept private or were deleted. Is it possible to assume that they are still together by making it discreet because of Aldub? I don’t want to overthink just like others, but there are actions that made me left wondering.. the hug in that TP seemed lacking in warmth and somewhat confusing for Meng. She may had realized what she’s feeling was just an ordinary admiration (crush) of a fan to an idol, ‘haven’t seen and hugged after five years’. They may have the stare, those eyebrows thing, the hugs, the banat lines now, but they maybe just for the camera only, not for ‘forever’ to which both actors understand. All of us want these actions lead to ‘forever’ but until that day comes, I will just enjoy the show and be content for what it is. When all of the lingering questions are answered, that’s when I believe forever exists.

I dont think may “thing” pa sila ni MV.
Unang-una, she confirmed it in her blog, waaaay before this phenomenon happened (actually before pa siya nag-audition sa EB), na wala na talaga sila…read “Till Next Time Love” post of her in that blog. The reason of the break-up is related to “TIMING”.
Second, remember #ALDUBmeetsTVJ episode? Diba may na-overheard tayo dun na convo nila:
A: May Boyfriend ka na?
M: Wala (pabebe voice lol)
Bakit niya idedeny kay A na sila pa ni MV, ano yun PAASA? xD
Third, the #ALDubEBforLOVE episode, there’s a BTS pic of M holding her letter for A, with the red cover. At ang nakasulat: “FROM THE MOMENT OUR PATH CROSSED, I KNEW THAT I WOULD NEVER WANT TO LEAVE YOUR SIDE”
Kung babasehin yung cover na yun, tingin mo negative yung nilalaman nung sulat?
May explanation ako dun sa Hug niya sa TP:
Ayaw lang niya bumuhos yung luha niya that time, alam niya pag nangyari yun, her make-up will be messed up, BIG TIME(ang kapal pa naman ng make-up niya nun). Gusto niya maging maganda siya sa harap ni A that time..kailangan niya magpigil ng emotions that time. Hence that first hug na bigla siyang bumitaw. Baka pag tumagal yung hug na yun, di na siya makapagpigil. But if you have time, try check @gwendygayle in twitter. She had the best HD shots nung TP..nakita ko dun, NALUHA si M, 3 times. Una nung First Hug, pangalawa nung lumuhod si A olding M’s hand, pangatlo yung second hug. Dun ko narealized, NAGPIGIL lnag talaga siya.

@Ardeeveegy:
Weeks ago, M confirmed (via her reply to a fan question) in her ask.fm account that she and MV are not in a relationship anymore. In her own words, they have remained very good friends; understandably so since they have mutual friends from La Salle U.
Likewise, A/RJ has confirmed in multiple interviews that he’s single (echoed by Allan K in a tweet). So, the Patricia rumor is baseless.
Objectively, the words of A and M will hold more water than rumors circulating in cyberspace and on print media. After all, both of them are the very object of these malicious attempts at defaming them. Shouldn’t we give them the benefit of the doubt?
Only RJ and M know the truth. Their truth is my truth as well. That’s all that matters.

@Khevyn and @NautilusMath Well that’s what I want to believe. Pero para sakin kasi feelings doesn’t fade that quickly lalo na for MV. based on M’s blogs kasi naappreciate niya yung effort ni MV. Driving from south to north kahit stressful ang traffic just to see her. And that picture of “I love you so much” to Maine from Miguel projected on the screen on the streets of NY. Napa wow na lang ako. Katulad ng sinabi ni M. MV is not that handsome but she loves him very much. I praise Maine too kasi hindi siya totally tumitingin sa appearance ng tao and I praise her too for acknowledging MV’s efforts.
Well I do give M a benefit of a doubt. Especially kahapon na nagbigay ng letter ulit si M for A the second time around and it’s for A’s eyes only ulit. and for the past few eps of KS napapadalas din ang physical contact between A and M. Naisip ko rin na if there is something pa kay MV dapat nag ho-hold back si M or to makaramdam man lang ng guilt. But nothing’s changed.

Pumapalakpak din ako when direk Joey R said that M is a rarity in showbiz because she is intelligent and coming from a respected member of the academe in La Salle it is truly heartwarming kahit hindi ako ang pinapurihan. Can’t wait for the day for a wedding scene in KS. As for real, they could take the slow leisurely route to forever.

I observe and feel Na naghahanap pa siya until now ng perfect timing para Sa feelings Niya Kasi Kung Ibang Lalaki Yan naku maaga pa Lang bibigay Na Pero Sa case ni Alden, parang me hold back pa Pero pinipigilan Nya. You notice Minsan nabubulol siya, Minsan Alam Nya Ang Dapat gawin Pero iba pala. I guess he knows madaling mag-sawa Ang mga babae Sa kahihintay. In general, the bottomline here is when is the perfect timing and it’s only Alden to decide, not us. Again opinion ko Lang po. Vilo, keep posting. 👍👍

When given the choice between NOW or FOREVER. they both picked the later. I do hope they hold back and take their time to get to know each other, sort out their reel and real feelings. Don’t forget – It took Marian and Dingdong seven years to get to their tamang panahon. We have a long way to go 🙂

I’m one of the million fans na pinagdadasal na yung reel is maging real, pero unlike other fans na nagmamadali na maging sila, ako I’m patiently waiting and hoping one day na mangyayari yun, pareho tayo ng observation A is holding back pa, and para sakin that’s good kasi for me masyado pang maaga para sa relasyon, there are things to consider din bago palang yung Love Team and naguumpisa palang sila to build yung foundation ng relationship nila which is friendship, sabihin na nating may feelings si A kay M pero A is matalino same as M alam nilang there’s a time for everything, totoo yung tamang panahon, may chance masira ang lahat if magmamadali sila including their career, so ako mas masaya ako friends sila for now and they’re enjoying, after all bata pa sila, hanggang Forever pa to! 😊

Me too 😦 i kept on telling myself that I had to stop. That I have to just watch the replays na lang. But i still load my broadband to join the twitter parties everyday. And I can’t go to sleep without watching even just a replay of today’s episode or past episodes. And I still pray for them everyday. I love the last part. Same here Sir vilo. Same here.

Ok, I’m going to touch on a topic that’s been bothering me for awhile. I always come across it on any and every,blog, articles, and comment sections… The fact that Maine have loved before (some dude named MV or other), and the Alden with patricia thing. Those really irritate the shit out of me. First and foremost, so what if Alden checked Patricia out? Have you seen her? I have, when I started watching KS about two months ago. She’s hot. Mabait pa. She’s the only one who gave Maine a heartfelt hug, during that episode when KS visited EB. And, you have to be dead not to notice HBD has a body that’s the stuff mens dreams are made of, and women wished they had. I’m a straight woman and I checked her out.
I believe Alden and HBD were new at EB, and although Alden was single, Pat was not back then. And, eventually someone else captured Alden’s attention. It was him who kept calling Maine out on her antics and pabebe wave on his earlier Bae segments. He’s pretty much the reason KS was created because he kept giving it attention, even though no one told him to do that for his segment.. Poor guy couldn’t get Yaya Dub off his mind. On the BAe segments, he was surprised (n happy) whenever they did put her up on a separate screen to see her reactions. Sometimes nakipag ride si Meng and sometimes deadma… But, obviously Alden was fascinated.
Oh, please, please do not tell me men do not notice or check other women out. You do. Minsan obvious, minsan hinde, looking from the side of your eyes lang. Now, if Alden never even noticed Patricia… ok, that’s when I’ll be worried. It means he’s batting for the other team (bakla). There is a huge difference between someone you just check out and one who truly captures your attention. Didn’t Alden just recently said that “malalim ang tingin nya” kay Maine? Good, she’s not a passing thing. Checking a woman out and even testing the waters do not always follow real and sincere intentions. He obviously didn’t follow through with Patring, hanggang text text lang cguro, and as every men here can attest…. How can you resist Maine if she comes along? I really hope people will give the poor guy a break and stop crucifying him for having checked out other women before Aldub, or even having shown interest in others before he met Maine. He’s a a human being searching for someone, just like you and me. And he’s a virile young man (23!), for crying out loud.
Now, onto Maine. I love the girl. Her recent ‘may joke ako’ videos are downright hilarious. Ang corny nya, alam nya yon, yet she puts it up. 😀 Even though I think they’re stupid, I find myself laughing. Yes, she has loved before, and so what? That means she’s capable to give of herself, that she’s not a complete b***h. Yes, she has loved so deeply and had her heart completely broken, and so what? Oh, for goodness sake, she’s only 20. It doesn’t mean she can’t love again. Give the girl a chance. She’s giving herself a chance. You don’t love only once, you love many times. As we grow older, we learn that. And, remember: different loves, different relationships, have different dynamics. It does not mean that the love is not real each and every time.
I really don’t mind comments or criticisms about their appearances (even talents or lack thereof) such as emotional na kili kili or Alden wears too much foundation.. but, being judge for our past loves, involvements, and past actions, just seems to me to be on a very personal level, like a judgement on their character. Like they’re living a lie… Ang harsh naman. We are defining a person as a whole, based on what they’ve been through. We are assuming their future intentions, and even their capability or capacity, on what they’ve done and been through before. Ano to, work experience? Unfair. The past is something we cannot change, even if we wished we could. My past do not define me.
I am extremely fond of Alden and Maine. I might not be an official part of Aldub Nation (paying dues and wearing t-shirt), however I give them the respect they deserve by BELIEVING they find love in each other without bringing up the past. Saying that a lot of things have changed for these two is an understatement. But, they went through these changes together, and so here’s hoping.. 🙂 And yes, it is absolutely possible for all of us to change in just a few months, weeks, and even just days… We can wake up one day and realize we are no longer in love. That shit happens. The man who checked out HBD girl is no longer the same man, and Maine is no longer the same girl who cried her heart out on her blog. This is a new life for them both, and I hate seeing them dragged back over and over again to what used to be. Tama na yaaann…
Dammit! I hate it when my comment is longer than Vilo’s post! Bakit ba affected much ako. That’s it. I Give Up.

LOL to the last line. errr, think of creating your own blog instead? haha..anyways I agree with you that we should not judge Alden and Maine with their past cause that happened before AlDub. we should all look at them NOW. how they are NOW to us. what they are bringing us NOW. they were insignificant to us before so why bother about their past. let us see through them NOW and in the coming future. we should all just be happy and not overthink everything. let us just enjoy the ride 🙂

To continue… yes men do check out other women even my husband checks out other women too thru our family facebook. Does it put me into a beastmode? No because the important thing is he did not ACT into pursuing whatever piqued his curiosity. Attraction is like anger, you have control on how you ACT on it. The same with how A perhaps reacted to his attraction to Pat. I agree with jnnchn, masama bang magka-crush? On the otherhand if M is not special to A how come A’s tita Jo A Faulkerson- Kyle retweets news and info about both A and M to think that she is non-showbiz. I take it from her tweets that she is proud of A and M’s accomplishment. Anyway as for #katawanpamore A huwag mo muna isusuko bataan baka si lightning mcqueen ang car na regalo ni M.

awww..guess we all feel the same. my husband would sometimes tease me “nanlalamig ka na ba sa aldub”, simply because I don’t wait for the replay anymore or I don’t watch the KS clip in FB anymore. little did he know that I actually watch live streaming haha cause hindi ko na maintay ang replay sa TV or upload sa FB. my phone bill is skyrocketing because of 4G LOL. but i don’t mind. I found myself buying all their magazines online although I would have preferred to have the printed version but living abroad doesn’t make that possible for me. Anyways, what I really wanted to say is that, lahat tayo magmomove on din pagdating ng “takdang panahon”, lahat tayo makakalagpas din sa “hype” na ito. but lahat tayo may babauning pleasant memories sa paglipas ng panahon. When the time comes sikat na sikat na sila mapapabaliktanaw ka at masasabi mo sa sarili mong…parte ako ng pagbuo sa dalawang tao na to. bahagi ako ng pagbuo ng kanilang pangarap..and then yes we will all just smile thinking how it all started 🙂
