Let me start this off with a few thoughts I have in my mind about the real score between Richard and Nicomaine, in reference to the general theme of discussions in the comments sections all over my blog. I will not claim infallibility because as with others, this is also just an expression of personal estimations. Time will tell whether or not we judged right. In the meantime, we can only speculate to feed our inner romanticism, or realism, depending on our inclinations.
Be that as it may, here is my simple and direct take on it.
I do see the wisdom in the words of Osho when he said: “You cannot live with expectations because life has no obligation to fulfill your desires. You can live with an open heart, but you cannot live with expectations.” But as much as I want to remain level-headed and conform to reason that what these couple show to the world is just that- a show, I still can’t quite shake off that lingering thought in the back of my mind that there is a deeper meaning to their constant display of affectionate gestures than just trying to please the crowd. They may be the best in their art but they are still human and are never immune to the emotional draw of affection, on- or off-cam. Besides, didn’t Fyodor Dostoevsky once said: “At first, art imitates life. Then life will imitate art. Then life will find its very existence from the arts.”?
He is a charming guy, quite the catch. And she is definitely a keeper. These two are meant to live their lives together, maybe not now nor in the near future, but eventually.
I am confident that before too long, if not already, they will realize that they really do complement one another, they balance each other out- literally two halves that found the other to complete a whole.
I am confident that before too long, if not already, they will realize that in each other’s hearts is where they rightfully belong.
And if the whole darn world thinks otherwise, I dare say with honest faith:
The whole darn world is wrong.
But enough of that, for now.
Because today marks yet another significant milestone in the ALDUB phenomenon- the official release of My Bebe Love, the first film introducing the love tandem that has swept the whole world by storm in the second half of the year 2015. The film is expected to draw quite a line, the magnitude of which we will be able to realize in the following days. I will be waiting for its release in my part of the world and watch it, mainly to support the couple more than anything else.
I am admittedly a movie enthusiast but am no critic. I watch films largely for entertainment. I might write a few words of accolade or criticism, but never a full-on review. Not my thing. I am more particular to comedies, thought-provoking thrillers and drama- especially courtroom dramas (my legal education is to blame for that). I don’t know why but I almost always fall asleep in the middle of action movies, unless they are action thrillers. And you won’t ever get me to watch a horror flick- they just freak me out, and leave me psychotically disturbed for days, ha!
Romantic feel-good comedies I can endure for watching at home and not in theaters, particularly during late afternoons in the winter, on the couch, under a fleece cover. In fact, I cannot remember even one instance that I watched a romantic comedy in a public cinema, so practically, this will be the first time for me if ever they do screen it in and around North-Central Florida after Christmas day.
Whether or not I will enjoy the film is a triviality. But I am truly excited, I’m not sure why. I did remit holiday gifts to friends and family back home along with an amusingly stern instruction to use a significant part of it to watch the movie. It’s the least I could do, really, given my circumstances. I just really want this movie to do well.
And of course, this is also the reason why I am writing this entry, to remind everybody that again we are given the chance to show the world the vigor with which this fandom is known to remarkably possess.
Let us not fail Alden and Maine.
Let us not fail ourselves!
Let’s go out there and make history once again!
Merry Christmas, ALDUB Nation!

Just my thought on KS storyline last week – I think the writers seriously wanted to use Alden’s trip to the Middle East to touch on LDR and how trust can keep the relationship strong and lasting. Ang problema, Yaya Dub’s actions were so convincing and hurtful that it brought a lot of strong reactions to a lot of us who can relate, and has felt what it’s like to be at the other end of that telephone line. Needless to say, it generated a lot reactions -some stronger than others and discussions. I actually opened a twitter account to join in and I was hoping that the KS writers will redeem Yaya Dub’s character either from a pangaral from LN or she will,on her own, have an epiphany. Much to my surprise, the issue was not addressed but instead Lola Nidora went on a tirade on people na nangingi-alam daw, etc. Saturday, they showed Jake and they basically sainted the man. Harmless naman daw at may GF na -forgetting that the Thursday before, Yaya dub replied, I don’t know when LN asked if nanliligaw si Jake sa kanya. Major story disjoint but no need to pay attention to it. Confused at tao lang si Yaya kaya GV na lang dapat lahat.
Okay sana, but LN’s tirade brought about a witch hunt in twitter world. If somebody deem your twit to be negative, they accuse you of being from brand X and tells other account holder to block you. I’ve been around for a while- sophomore na ako sa UP when martial law was declared and I remember all the newspaper offices, radio and TV stations being padlocked. Only one pro-regime station and newspaper was allowed to operate. No dissenting voice allowed or else you’ll be branded as a communist symphatizer and will be “invited” to Camp Crame. The witch hunt that happened after last week is similar in the sense that there was no due process in being branded as “nega”. Basta hindi lang nila gusto ang sinabi mo, blocked ka na. I got blocked for that reason but I don’t even know if that person understood my twit. I even tried to reach out to him but I could not. Ang masama pa, hindi ko na masundan yung isang account na gusto ko! Pero OK lang, too old to care. Beside I have a pack of coyotes to hunt. They just took down one of my cows!
After a lot of reflection, my take away from the experience are this:
1. KS script is being written on the fly and the story line is steered by fan reaction from the previous episode. There could be a theme for the week but it can change at a moment’s notice. They are not writing their version of Milton’s Paradise Lost so STOP analyzing the story line. Maloloko ka lang. Just enjoy the show. If it gets too heavy, or Lola Nidora’s pangaral irritates you, hit the mute button or stop watching. I also believe that these people are doing their darn best to keep people interested. This is, after all, big business.
2. Aldub/Maiden love script is being written by RJ and NDCM themselves and if sometimes you get a glimpse, savor and treasure the moment. It’s an elixir that makes you feel that everything is all right with the world and your reclining in your favorite chair, sipping you’re favorite drink. To me it’s Oban Single Malt, clean.
I support Aldub or better yet Maiden because I believe in my heart that RJ and NDCM brought so much positivity in TV. In the midst of all this turmoil and in-fighting, they have remained true to themselves and to each other. I love how they greet each other with a smile, goes off to their own world and leave us mere mortals smiling for no reason.
I thank them for the feeling I have right now as I write this comment.
Aminin na kasi, eh.
Peace out and God Bless y’all

I’d like it to be like ‘My So-Called Life’. Per episode would be related but narrated alternately by M and A on how they view the same situation but on different perspective. M has a crush on A who is out of her league and M is a beauty with a huge potential for success bec of her tenacity and intelligence. It will be about overcoming struggles in securing your future at the same time dealing with your feelings na baka not reciprocated but M cannot leave A’s employment bec she needs the money to become a doctor. And it is a good example that if you want to pursue postgrad studies na akala mo pangmayaman may paraan pala to achieve it kahit part time and it seems that it will take forever to finish.

I hope soon RFJr & Maine will honestly tell ADN and the rest of the following public that the hearsay is TRUE or a LIE. They must not worry about the consequences on their career. For as long they stay in Godly obedience (including telling the truth), they must not worry because God will put everything in order in the lives of those who follow Him. For as long as they remain true to their fans and don’t operate their lives with deception, their fans will remain true to them as well and God will all the more bless them. If the hearsay was a lie, then God will definitely deal with the person/s spreading it.

Yung post ni Elle, halatang fake. Kung 2 months nung December, ibig sabihin October nangyari? Sorry, but the timelines don’t jive. Tamang Panahon happened on October 24. The WEEKS BEFORE that, ang intriga kay Alden was overbooking him for provincial mall tours and overstaying in Japan. Remember #Japanpamore? While in Japan, he was being linked to another girl who turned out to be just a fan. As soon as he arrived back in Manila, he refocused and decided to concentrate in the upcoming Tamang Panahon. Puro rehearsals na for Tamang Panahon na sa Bulacan Arena pa mismo ginagawa. After Tamang Panahon, nag-weeksary sila ni Maine wherein sumugod si Alden sa Barangay to celebrate with her face-to-face. I say “Maine” instead of “Yaya Dub”, kasi si Alden mismo ang tumawag ng Maine/Meng and not Yaya Dub sa episodes nila that week. Sa weeksary nila on October 29, he verbally told Maine na sana tuloy tuloy na sila sa forever. After this, October 30, puyatan na yong dalawa sa shoot ng “My Bebe Love” plus their numerous commercials. During the filming of “My Bebe Love” and their commercials, there were rumors going around that RJ would wait for Meng to finish her work kasi hinahatid nya sa Bulacan at nagsa-side trip pa sila sa Starbucks NLEX. After their movie shoot, their commercials piled up even more, and then November kicked off the movie promo all the way to December. So yong story ni Elle, sablay na sablay kasi sobrang busy ni Alden at Maine TOGETHER starting October. Kailan nangyari ang milagro para maging two months ng December? The problem with timelines, pag nasabi mo na, hindi mo na pwedeng palitan. Ang mahirap pa, two months ng December tapos due ng September this year? Ano? Kabayo?
But the final nail on the coffin is this, RJ didn’t move to their new house until December at yong bahay nila, HINDI SA NUVALI. Si Alden mismo ang nagsabi ng idea kung saan, and if you read the article where he described it, he himself revealed that it’s NOT in Nuvali.
Sorry Elle. Better luck next time.

Hello to aldub fans whether they be full-time or part-time like me. Can’t help but write about their latest McDo TVC where RJ is mostly featured while it only shows M’s back for a few seconds. You bet I”ve watched it so many times because it is like cocaine for the heart. Even if it does not show M’s face, the scene is subtle pero ang lakas ng dating. I admit medyo tinabangan ako when RJ left for the ME pero now I feel the impact is back, which just proves to me that there is no magic if one is physically absent. I no longer push the idea of them admitting that they are ON with all the PDAs they are showing basta sa akin their eyes cannot lie to their fans esp. RJ’s and it’s important that they are happy making their fans happy. Worthy to mention the money they are making doing it.
Speaking of KS I have to give credit to the lolas who try to keep the spirit alive but it seems that KS is built around Aldub and is never complete if both are not there (and I respect the opinion of those who oppose). Somehow I have this thought that maybe, just maybe, KS should end while it is still on top rather than die a slow and painful death if GMA has other plans for Aldub. However, if that happens papano na ang Eat Bulaga who gave Aldub a venue to develop the phenomenon that it is now? I am sure the ones from Brand X are really horny about the idea of KS losing its flavor just like vultures waiting for their prey to die in the desert. Can we force to swallow the fact that all good things must come to an end for EB? I am confident about Aldub surviving beyond KS though because if they stay too long with EB, they might bore their fans (at least for now can they please change the songs they dubsmash to one another…2016 na) and become uninteresting and unmotivated, including to Aldub themselves.
Abangan…..

@susiesays:
My POV and comments on KS:
KS’ episodes seem lackluster these days. Basically, it’s becoming more of the usual JFA segment which gets more airtime than the serye itself. To me, very disappointing. Where is KS really heading to? Is it going to end? Can EB maintain its rawness and spontaneity? How long can it hold and sustain viewers’ interest? Like a teleserye, it cannot be forever.
I felt that the main actors, especially Maine and Alden are boxed in. I was expecting them to grow as artists. Hanggang KS or TVCs na lang ba sila? Maybe, that’s the reason why Alden and his handlers are taking advantage of this phenomenon, taking in offers left and right and really push Alden to work to the detriment of his health. On one hand, Maine, with so many innate talents and who has already proven her acting prowess, remains tied to KS. Where is the challenge? Somehow, I felt that her talents are not being put to good use. She has so much to offer. Seeing Maine involved in good projects and other activities outside of KS, to me, would be a very important step in the honing and polishing of her craft. More exposure will further build up her self-confidence.
I think TAPE is being selfish (hope I’m wrong). It cannot be denied that ALDUB weaved magic on EB. Perhaps, they want Maine to remain in KS because once Maine get projects outside of KS, what will EB’s future be like? No problem for Alden, he’s a GMA talent. EB has been around for 36 years and has launched careers of singers and actors so why stall Maine’s. I guess this is the reason why talks between GMA and Tape has gone kaput (??). Why is it taking them too long? Are they really talking?? Just asking. I do believe many are excited to see them in a teleserye of their own.
While Alden and Maine continue to show their “pa-kilig” or “pa-cute” moments in the segment, I believe these do not highlight or even showcase their talents. I am beginning to have qualms over their personal growth and careers as actors. It’s like heading nowhere. It’s a pity to let their talents go to waste. EB & Tape should let them grow, let them out of the box, let them shine brighter.
Nevertheless, I really love this very lovable and exceptional couple. While their ending up together is our and almost everybody’s wish,I guess, it’s not a priority right now. I have only good wishes for both of them, continuous blessings, happiness and success. I will always be supporting them in their journey to forever.

Since the Jake storyline has been dragging on and on over twitter at sa blogs, I decided to read everyone’s comment and was surprised to find out that most people complaining about Yaya Dub’s attitude towards “Jake” missed out on the explanation during last Saturday’s episode.
First, there are TWO Jakes: The Beki Jake and the Brit-educated Jake.
1) When Beki Jake was introduced, the Lolas grilled Yaya Dub why she was always acting giddy whenever he calls, especially since it turned out that he’s gay after all. Yaya Dub EXPLAINED that she gets giddy with Beki Jake because whenever he calls, HE MIMICS Alden’s voice on the phone as a joke to Yaya. This was explained clearly, so I wonder why everyone missed it, and still continues to complain about Yaya’s kilig. Try replaying the part when Beki Jake came out and listen to Yaya’s explanation to the lolas. I guess everyone was so overwhelmed by Yaya’s kilig in the previous episodes that even if it turned out that Yaya’s kilig was for a Beki Jake mimicking Alden’s voice, the explanation didn’t sink. She also explained that Beki Jake was the same Jake with whom she hitches rides with from school, accidentally leaving her books in his car. And this is the reason why Beki Jake had to bring Yaya’s books to her. In short, yung Jake na nagpapakilig kay Yaya at gusto niyang maghatid sa kanya sa bahay is a gay friend. Yon yung funny TWIST ng story that everyone just chose to ignore.
2) Brit-educated Jake turns out to be the smart classmate with a girlfriend and who knows about Alden, implying that Yaya talks about Alden to Brit-educated Jake a lot. Brit-educated Jake is also leaving for Singapore for his masters and that’s why he had to visit Yaya to turn over all their projects to her.
So ang tanong,..ANONG PROBLEMA? I guess kulang lang sa replay yong iba.

Like I said earlier, that week’s episode touch a nerve in some of us who’s gone through similar circumstances. KS could have adressed it better but maybe like in real life, some issues can never really be closed but only forgiven and best forgotten.
Tama na yan! Here’s to RJ and NDCM’s forever. I have not seen any LT na nagkatuluyan but I’m betting that they have the best chance of pulling it off. RJ is working his tail off na parang may pinag-iipunan at NDCM has ton of projects lined up also. At the rate they are going, they should be set for life by end of this year. Sabi nga ni Tisoy sa isang endorsement niya- “sa panahon ngayon, dapat may plano ka”. Hmmmm.

I may have mentioned the acceptance of the fans but that’s way less important than the preceding. If certain issues are swept under the rug and are not dealt with promptly, it will sooner or later undermine the foundation an otherwise strong fan base. I hope and pray that RFJr will say his piece about the issues so fans are not left with even a speck of mistrust, suspicion or speculation (10 mos of gestation, etc.).

For me, their relationship, whatever it may be, is theirs. As long as they’re honest with each other, I don’t see any problem. In any relationship, it’s the dishonesty that depletes it, not the privacy. So if they want to keep it private, that’s their prerogative because it’s their relationship. So far, I think they’ve been honest with the fans. For one, RJ has been very vocal about his feelings for Maine. I think it’s Maine who wants to keep it private, and rightfully so, because she’s the girl. No girl would want her privacy to be scrutinized, criticized, and judged by strangers. I think she’s okay with her work being criticized and examined because she’s an artist and her work is for public consumption. But based on my observation of her, I don’t think she wants to share whatever she has with RJ to anyone else but with RJ. Kumbaga, her work is for the fans, but RJ is for her alone. LOL! Kaya ibalato na lang natin si RJ kay Maine, and vice versa. When they’re ready to share, I think they will. For me, the barometer is Maine’s happiness. For as long as Maine is happy, that’s good enough for me.

These two young people are both good in their craft. Let us focus on that. Lately A has a pinched look in his face but M looks relaxed.

As stated above, you hope & pray that RJ will set the record straight and put to rest the persistent rumors & issues circulating the web. Rumors are rumors. If there is no evidence to the contrary, then RJ and M have no obligation to dignify these with an answer. The impetus to get an answer from RJ and M is, more often, initiated by the media upon the behest of their respective networks or publishers and, to a certain degree, by the fans.
I see your point & where you’re coming from. But I beg to digress just a bit…
What we see on TV and read on print media is just a minuscule part of their existence. What we witness on a daily basis, on EB/KS particularly, is their professional life. We are fortunate to be treated to no-filter moments when their “real” emotions cross over to their “reel” life on KS. But there is a bigger picture beyond KS, much of which is unseen by the public (i.e. the fine print in their contracts with GMA and TAPE/APT, the specific stipulations that prohibit or allow them to publicly disclose certain things). There is a “tamang panahon” for everything. When that time comes, many of our nagging questions shall be answered.
Everything is unfolding episode by episode on KS as well as in real life. We can speculate all we want because it’s fun. But let’s wait and see how all these different pieces fit into the big picture. This is a test of patience for all.
Happy 6th monthsary, one and all. GOD bless!

@joann Divina and Maine names are usually being used by A interchangeably to preserve the real/reel magic of KS. Just be keen on some real emotions that A has been showing oncam. Sabi nya nga di ba read between the lines or what you see is what you get.

Kinilig ako dito kasi in Love nga si mokong. What really surprise me kanina is yun audience question regarding the real monthsary. For me this is a tricky question which should not be answered by yes or no oncam. So pansin nyo yun long silence and smile nila synchronize pa kasi nagprocess pa yun brain nila pareho kung ano ang safe answer. Great minds think alike nga sabi ni A. Eventually nman they gave a smart answer.

‘Just want to say that I love love love the 6th Monthsary episode of KS. I replayed it again and again after watching it. Hahaha! Walang magawa. Anyway, I hope they keep up the momentum. I’m looking forward to Monday now because it was cut right when Yaya was about to set her conditions to Alden. Galing!

Hi vilo.
Since you mentioned that you watch comedies, thought-provoking thrillers and drama (especially courtroom dramas), can you give me a list of your favorite films? Maybe you could also give me a list of your favorite books and TV series.
By the way I finished Bachelor of Laws here in the Philippines last year so when I read that you watch courtroom dramas I got curious what those movies are.
I want to know your favorite MOVIES, BOOKS, AND TV SERIES. I am really interested.
Thank you so much. I’m glad I have found your site. God bless you.
