I love LN’s love story. It is sweet, charming and nostalgic. This week’s KS is definitely one of my favorites. Whoever thought of bringing LN’ s love story in Black and White is genius. However could A and M bring magic in an old stereotypical love story is beyond me. I wonder if other LTs could bring to life Ansera’s characters the way A and M does. May magic din kaya at kilig? Their chemistry together is definitely tamang timpla. I am again amazed by the creative team of EB. Pwede na period film or teleserye.
@Cate: Absolutely agree with you. Telling Lola N’s backstory in B&W lends it a soulful nostalgia—a throwback to a time when life was simpler & romantic. A&M gave justice to the storytelling because their emotions were genuine & not at all put-on.
After the seemingly lackluster episodes these past few weeks, KS pulled out an ace & got its mojo back. The B&W tableau for the flashback is a fitting addition to its growing list of core elements (after split-screen, fan signs, dubsmash, reel-real splice).
They can use A&M again to tell the backstories for Lolas Tinidora & Tidora. They can even go back several generations beyond Lola Ariana Miley. Now, the possibilities for KS are endless.
It pays for EB and the KS creative team to listen to their loyal & avid viewers via Twitter, IG, blogs, & fb. They can mine so many golden ideas & create new storyboards with a unique spin to them. It’s a symbiotic relationship between the viewers (consumers) and the KS staff (producers). If they can find a fair middle ground, then KS is definitely in this for the long haul. And the loyal fans/viewers will fight tooth & nail for the KS cast & staff. Proof? the 41M tweets are a testimony that this fandom can deliver if it is empowered to do so.
@cate @NautilusMath just like you, I am in complete awe of what’s happening in KS…The romance story is nothing new, but again the word magical comes into play here. No other local LT can pull this off, I am not being biased but I can say I have been around long enough to know that only this young pair can portray such characters effortlessly.
Vilo, yet again, used the perfect term: nabalani. Maine’s beauty is just timeless that she draws all eyes even hearts when the camera pans in her direction. RJ, on the other hand, proves that he deserves every bit of that Best Actor award for delivering highly emotional lines while distorting his face and trying to be funny all at once. This makes him more lovable. I am totally in a fan girl mode right now…
This week’s arc reminds me so much of The Notebook…I have seen that movie countless of times already, but still the impact is the same every time I watch it. And, I am sure that when I replay these KS episodes, I will still feel the pain of Nidora and Anselmo’s longing for each other. The way they act is just near flawless — on LIVE TV!
In normal circumstances, producers spend money sending their talents to acting workshops, but with EB, they actually earn millions televising the live acting workshops of their prized talents — huge difference!
The people from the other station are sure terrified and beyond worried that these two are just waiting for their right prime time TS script.
@NautilusMath @Dyleine @Maine @Joann
I am glad that A and M is not confined to their AlDub characters only. A and M become AnseRa. Their hugot lines pull heartstrings but the way the characters are portrayed absurdly di mo alam kung iiyak ka o tatawa. Dramedy at its best. I know a lot has been written about Kalyeserye and AlDub but I hope Eat Bulaga will publish a coffeetable book about their epic segment. The LN love story is too big for afternoon viewing sa totoo lang. Pang-prime time siya or pang- movie.
Here I go again…can’t help but say na kuntento na ako to what I see between M & RJ even without verbal admissions nor denials. I am not expecting or hoping that they end up together because I have conditioned myself to be like them, living in the present, happy and contented albeit both of them reaping well deserved accolades non-stop. Pero sana if all the accolades fade and disappear I hope they will cherish what they had for one another (I think they both said something in the past to that effect) and continue to be good friends. It will be a tall order to wish na nobody will get hurt if they grow apart pero sana they will have the gift of maturity and wisdom to move on.
It’s nothing short of being realistic kasi if we remember right even RJ said before “yung lovelife…nakakasira sa career yan”. But look at him now – kung minsan parang ang sarap pingutin kasi he is swallowing his words. Also was it sometime in the past when they said they are taking things between them slowly but both of their eyes can’t hide it. Asus really, uyyyy, lu lu lu lu??? It just shows that even both of them cannot predict themselves so why should we…at least they are managing themselves well… anything can happen in 5 years.
As a post note, I’d like to give credit to the creative thinkers of KS as it has become watch-worthy again because I agree, there was a lull in the series after the holidays.
Second post note, can’t wait for part 2 of the recent McD commercial. It is so subtle yet nakakaloka. RJ’s expressions are priceless and even if M is just implied – the idea makes you think the world is perfect…and you bet I watched it so many times.
Isipin nyo lang , sa atin mga ka batch ni jose hehe kailan ka ba nagbigay pansin sa isang tv ad?
Kailan ka ba natuwa na ang isang artista e nasa newest magazine cover?
Kailan ka ba naging interesado sa next episode ng eb?
Hehe youknow what i mean.
Nasa golf course ako and flightmate ko asked me saan daw bumibili ng adidas hailet,suot ni maine sa isang episode, hehe sabi ko stan smith na ang tawag dun ngayon
@patrickgonzales Hindi lang iyon. Ngayon ko lang na-realize na tatlong big accounts na fina-follow ko na kasapi sa AlDubnation ay administered ng mga lalaki: si vilo, si @donsuratos at si @broadwayjanitor. AlDub lang nakakapagpalambot ng puso ng mga maton. Akala ko pang -action movies at sports lang kayo. Ngayon may pa-labteam labteam pa.
I’m never one to cry, I’m not one to feel sad easily… yet watching the episode today pulled at my heartstrings. I’ve heard the stories of long ago when parents and elders would use extreme methods to keep lovers apart. i’m sure I’ve even watched movies depicting that though I can’t recall them. I was never as affected by those stories of torn lovers as I was watching Maine and Alden act it out as AseRa… It made me think of things that I normally wouldn’t think. I think nowadays we have the choice to be with someone, and the choice Not to be with someone, and move on. Divina is being cautious about Alden, and we all think, “rightly so!”. Yet there’s something so freeing about Nidora and Anselmo giving themselves over to love one another so completely and without reservations… I think maybe we have lost the true preciousness of love, of companionship, of friendship, that we can decide to let it go? Watching Anselmo & Nidora being brutally pulled apart, I felt how wrenchingly painful it must be to be kept away from your love… I could feel the yearning in my heart of love lost so suddenly and painfully, lost to something that I could see happening yet is beyond my control.. I now think of how those torn lovers from the past must have suffered so…
What I’m trying to say is, before KS, I wouldn’t give a sh*t what those people felt. KS makes me feel things I wouldn’t normally care about. They entertain me not through my mind but through how they make me feel. They say KS is kababawan because there’s no intellectual substance to it. True, I agree with that, it’s a silly show. But, I think teaching people how to feel is just as important, if not more so, than teaching people how to think. Teaching people how to feel happiness, sadness, and pain for someone else, teaches them to be more compassionate, kinder, loving and more patient with others. There are more than enough brilliant thinkers in this world. They end up thinking of the best ways to help themselves.
Despite our constant griping as to the true status of AlDub, obviously it doesn’t really matter because we’re all still here. KS reminds us of how things looked through rose-colored glasses we once wore. We know we’re wearing rose colored glasses now yet we don’t mind. Life is sweeter that way, isn’t it? Regardless of our circumstances? And when life feels sweet and we feel light and happy, we now notice littlest things… commercials, products, mik mik, haw haw, adidas shoes… For me, it’s isaw 🙂 I can’t wait to eat isaw when I get to go back home. Isaw doesn’t look so dirty anymore 🙂
I know I’m wearing rose colored glasses shipping these two. But, I WANT to wear it. I don’t want to be jaded anymore.
So far this is the most logical explanation of the Aldub phenomenon and why fans can’t get enough of RJ and M. Would also want to echo what LN said na naiingit siya when she sees them together kasi it reminds her of those days when she was young and in love…just like most followers of KS, watching it fills whatever void we have in our lives in a very positive way. Isn’t that what you call “projection” in psychological terms?
@Susiesays –
Logical? Wow, thanks for the compliment 🙂 I wasn’t even aiming for that, I just wanted that episode off my chest. I’ve not once felt sad watching a KS episode, not even during that plywood scene when everyone else cried. But, there was just something about Nidra’s story… a sort of deep yearning, that made me ache for her, even though i’ve never once felt that in my own life. We know her now as this snobbish, sorta evil matriarch, staunchly upholding the moral standards of correct society… and then to find out that she once fell in love with a poor farm boy, and eloped with him. Nag-tanan. She willingly lived with him in his little hut, tended his chickens and cooked for him… They both went through trials and tribulations of love, defied the odds, and were very happy. They both wanted to be together and nothing was going to stop them, if they could help it. And i have a feeling not even death would have stopped them… Even knowing they only had that short moment in time, they gave themselves over so completely to love… that was so brave. I always thought she was strict with her granddaughter because she was upholding Philippine moral society, backed by the Philippine catholic award 😀 I didn’t know that it was because she didn’t want Divina to feel the pain of love.
Anyways, KalyeSerye itself as a show is completely irreverent. These same episodes that I speak about come with all sorts of shaninagans like Batibot closing the show, and gasgas/tinidora turning into a special needs girl-child named gingging… Watching Alden and Maine together, plus Jowapao’s crazy antics makes me feel all sorts of happy.
And, no, I don’t know if I’m projecting myself onto this show, or the other way around. All I know is, it’s made me nicer as a person watching KS. And the love story there INSPIRES me 🙂 It’s made me look at love again like I used to not so long ago
Perhaps I was one of the people nowadays having real difficulty distinguishing between “real” and “reel” between our Meng and Tisoy. Way back December I have the positivefeeling these two are on their stages of friendship and will take a long time to develop into something romantic,as they say…but the turn of events for me, where the blurry lines of expectations vs reality was on 6th monthsary, A said something about what you see is what you get…dun na ko kinilig kc he has become vocals about his feelings towards M, esp the body languages…the way how he held his eyes,it’s like very fiery…Sabi ko ah siguro he’s really feeling something different towards M or he was seeing her more than a friend….and the PDA,,they’re both sweet on and offcam as per PEP interview when TAPE who manages EB renewed their GMA contract…and obviously with the fantastic back story of Anselmo and Nidora, albeit scripted, they still both find ways to improvised their acts….nabuhayan n naman ako, as if my excitement was almost equally the same when the anticipation of TP! Then I’ve also noticed some subtle changes on Meng towards A…right so after the Saturday episode when A passed the 1st condition-he played the ukulele and the keyboard! I saw Meng genuinely caught off-guard towards A’s inclination in playing musical instruments in a very short space of time., feeling ko M has seen different side of A that she hasn’t seen before-the keen determination…then today we have Bossing and Poleng wedding day special! And today na level up ang paghanga ko sa dalawa when they done the killer dance moves, the defying gravity dance moves,we were all caught by surprise as in they given us ADN a very lovely treat indeed!
And the wedding ceremony came along with our M&A bonded outside work,although mga dabarkads halos andun, but they were invited as guest! Oh I’m so rooting for them two to end up like Bossing and Polengs. Snapchats,IG post,twitter verse were so jam packed with their lovely photos together….then we were all waiting…waiting…waiting at least glimpse of them perhaps dancing away on the dance floor with the whole dabarkads! Enjoying and sipping wines, lovely foods, speeches…We’ve seen MENG’s plastered-snapchats all over IG and tweets, but hang on…where’s Alden? He’s nowhere to be seen? Straight away I gave him the benefit of the doubt, Sabi ko there must be a very legitimate good reason for skipping the wedding reception? But the only thing I’ve read was IG comment from Ms Ai saying kinda “he’s really really tired,he went home na kc mi early call any SPS at 8am…but hang on a minute same as with Ms Ai, kuya wally at kuya Jose was at the reception, dancing and singing away! Maybe I said perhaps he was really sick na he could’ve drop dead at the reception, but then again on M’s snapchat…he was such in a good form unless lng he’s acting again…but then he was in those situation before and he still managed it through…so Sabi ko Baka mi taping or other commitments na di na nya pwedeng I-reschedule….but then again Bossing&Polengs wedding had been planned already long time ago, and he could have cancelled it ahead of time…the thing is we don’t know his reasons for not being at the reception,really….it could have been a wonderful time for him to bond and enjoy with the whole Dabarkads outside the “normal work mode”….it’s only Alden can give us the answers, not the speculations of hundreds of fans from Twitter or FB or Instagram, nor statement from either Ms Ai(not that I don’t believe her, it’s just a second source) nor a statement from Meng, besides they’re just loveteam as professionals nothing more, or even as friends, she wouldn’t answer for him…..it’s only Alden Richards, just a simple tweet or statement just like you always did to appease some OA or mga “dismayadong” fans like me…….
Nikki Sison, all my thoughts exactly! You wrote down every feeling I have right now. I’m at a loss too. I’ve been a follower of A&M since Day1. I’ve been one of the earlier “visitors” of Sir Vilo’s blog. I thought I could kick back and relax after the MBL promo days in Cebu and Davao, but today feels weird. Looking for something to comfort me. IG and Twitter is so toxic these days that I thought I’d go back to this blog. Seems like the only sane place to be for an Aldub fan!
My friends if you are wondering where RJ was during the reception I am inclined to believe that he went home to get a well-deserved sleep. If we can see truthfulness in his eyes, look at his latest pics – ang lalaki ng mga eyes bags niya na halos mukha na siyang singkit just like when he came back from the ME. Tama na muna ang stalking anyway you can watch him tomorrow at SPS. You can perhaps confirm it with how M looked at the wedding photos, she does not look worried that RJ is not around and maybe is even happy to know that her better half is resting.
Truly and realistic talaga ang ALDUB … a romance between two actors and the AD nation. I can read so many positive and negative comments coming from true fans and non-fans, in reaction to what this couple has been showing oncam and offcam. Amazing talaga the effect. I can see the personality of each fan sa twitter, fb and IG even here in this blog. It shows how individuals are taking their personal relationship with their bf, gf, hubby, wify or if single ka how you will be handling a relationship just in case maging committed na. There are matured ones who give positive comments and I believe these people have found their forever and are already wise enough having a good time in their journey. Some are immature, possessive, distrustful, bitter, gullible and jealous type… puro nega ang approach sa relationship … at mga suicidal (joke). Well this only defines that Aldub is LIFE , colourful with so many shades. Based from my personal relationship experience, as of now dun ako sa positive and bright colors ayoko na sa dark shades. I’ve been there and done that nakatawid na ako dyan. Kayo san na kayo ngayon?
I also noticed one personality in twitter, the KSP or kulang sa pansin type. Her tweets were mostly ALDUB positive comments until recently she posted one nega-bashing. So naturally, the defenders will come to the rescue and give her the reply she deserves. So it flooded her notif and thereafter joyously apologized for the comment she made but with a post na pag puro positive daw ang tweets nya wala syado pumapansin pero pag nega pansin na pansin sya. Well well i think she should be showered with TLC by the nation.
Truly, Twitter and IG are toxic for A & M fans now. I’m sure Vilo’s blog will not be spared. Anyway, my two cents worth on all this and I am not Nega. I will not bash A or M : A’s no show at the Reception confirmed that this is all ” Aktingan Lang ” and Na-hopia tayo lahat. A was never into M the way we want him to be. He likes her but not that way. Friends lang talaga eh. I mean, How could you pass up the chance to be with your girl outside of work. He’d rather be somewhere else. To sleep, sabi ng iba but he is used to all nighters. I’ve heard he has pics with his Aldenatics last night and it was almost midnight. So, he’d rather spend his time with other people. It was clear. I mean , he could have stayed an hour or two but he can’t wait to be elsewhere. Not that I begrudge him his choice, It’s his life. We don’t own him or his heart. Di kayang turuan ang puso eh. Kung saan at kanino sya masaya, maging masaya na rin tayo. Ang hirap ng nakiki -lovelife. As for Maine, she will be fine. She’s a true Millenial woman; smart, fierce, independent. She’s no damsel in distress.Queen Elsa nga eh. The cold will never bother her anyway and I don’t think her happiness will depend on a man. And she’ll meet “THE ONE”. I mean, at the People of theYear Awards, people in attendance were smitten by her charm. As one smitten guy said, she has that old Hollywood vibe. I am not worried about her. Last night, I almost want to ship her with Vico Sotto when I saw their picture together hahaha.. She is young. She should enjoy this time. Love will come and we will cheer for her . I will still be Team Replay . I know I will still enjoy it but my eyes are now wide open. The truth is out there. I wish them both happiness. They are fine kids.
Same thoughts here.. I truly believed that he being not present at the reception was made on purpose and not just that “something came up” parang he doesn’t really wanted to be identified with M outside KS.. well, it’s his personal life. We just need to respect and let him find his own happiness. I’m such a big fan, really wanted for them to end up together but as much as we wanted to, still, it’s their lives, they’ll be the one to decide..
At this point in time, I think I’m finally giving up.. They call kill us with all the “kiligs” from KS but at the end of the day, it’s all for the show.. “aktingan lang”
Still cheering fo Maine,for “the One” to find her..Remember, her IG post when she was in Japan? She’s one extraordinary girl.We know she can walk away from all these anytime.I really pity her for all the hate tweets she gets.People who can’t be her just hate her so I will still be watching KS.The fandom is declining and the rival is catching up.I don’t want that to happen.I am letting go only of the illusion that A& M’s tamang panahon will come.I don’t hate Alden.I will not be bashing him but it’s all so clear now.Anyways, they said they are only friends.Tayo lang umasa..Sarap kasi ng hopia! Hahaha ..
Felt the exact same thing when I learned he did not go to the reception..and as I am writing this, my chest feels like exploding. I remember when I was pursuing my wife it did not matter if I had to stay up all night and drive all her friends home after a gimik just to be with her. This is really an affirmation of where their relationship is..pure friendship. I too am giving up..I wish Maine finds the right one for her. Others can make all sorts of excuses for A pero we have to open our minds at times too. Just because we want them to end together doesn’t mean ipipilit natin sa utak natin.
@ javi
Why are we so affected ?hahaha. I’ve moved on though.. maybe we should not feel sorry for M as maybe she is not sorry for herself..maybe she is not into him too and if she does,she will brush this off i am sure..at the wedding reception,guests lined up for a picture with her..aside from Miss U and the bride of course,she was the most photogrsphed that night.I’m sure even as i write this,there are guys who are waiting on the wings..i will cheer for her..she is a good catch., It’s A’s loss..
Just a thought (and not picking a fight)…if the “aktingan” issue is true, how can we account for those PDAs outside KS? IMHO, M is not that cheap to accept any sweet gestures, esp. physical ones, from RJ if they do not have any meaning to her. It is not only through RJ’s eyes that we can see affection when actually mas malagkit tumingin si M kay RJ when she is unconscious with the camera.
Ano siya, basta na lang nagpapahawak o nagpapahipo? And if RJ does not want M to be identified with him outside KS, why the heck did he come and stick with her at the wedding ceremony? Remember RJ’s contract is with GMA hence he has obligations outside EB. So if the reason be personal or professional why he left, he is not committed to stay at the reception para iRogelio si M.
Tingin ko dyan parang last year pa lang sila na eh,Hindi palang sila aamin kasi napag sabihan na ng mga boss nila yan na wag muna,may mga partners kayo di ba?may mga bf/bf sa mga gesture nila manhid nalang na lang talaga kung Hindi nyo mararamdaman na may “something” sa kanila, kaya mahirap mag judge or mag salita ng tapos
Jojo, if you’ve been an Alden fan, you will know na ganyan sya sa lahat ng friends at ka-LT nya na babae. Ultimo mo nag si kakai hinaharot nya diba. May mga lalaki talagang ganoon kalambing at touchy sa babae. Probably because he’s a mama’s boy.
kilala mo si ironman di ba?si tony stark?yun ang favorite character ni alden pero Hindi ang playboy side na traits ha,yung mga actions ni Alden sa mga fast leading ladies nya,alam nya kung ano limitations nya, yung mga gestures na hindi mukhang manyak ang labas,gentleman yun according sa mga nka trabaho nya dati.
yes. and hindi nya yun ginagawa sa mga friends nya na may bf. Believe me, malambing lang talaga sya at super gentleman. Touchy sya kapag close friends nya pero not in a manyak way but act of fellowship. So yung ginagawa nya kay maine ay nagawa nya rin sa iba. Ibig sabihin nun eh sobrang close nila and let’s be happy for that. Believe me, hindi sila ganyang maghaharutan on national TV kung real couple sila. PDA na ang tawag pag ganun and I don’t think na ganun ang personality ni Maine at Alden. Kaya nga wga madaliin eh, kasi magiging awkward na silang magharutan sa EB kung magjowa na sila.
Ako nga my doubts din nung nabasa ko yung pov ng iba dito sa blog ni sir vilo. Nasubaybayan ko kc yung sabi ng mga reliable sources sa twitter. More on bts sila nakabase kasi. Pag base mo dun sila na talaga, nagtatalo na lang kung anong date yung official. Sabi ko di nagsisinungaling ang baste…. may bts video kc na nagbuking na sila na, bisaya yung salita dun ng mudra.
Can’t help but comment on these recent posts. Yes, J respect your views because I, too, got somehow disappointed when I didn’t see him walking around and taking pictures with everyone else in the reception. I felt, that he owed it to himself more than anyone else to relax, unwind and spend some quality time with these people he gets to work with everyday. Too many questions lingered until Maine tweeted that something came up which required him to leave early. And that was backed by the award he got earlier that day on SPS. He needed to rehearse for a prod number! So, it was still about work! –important as it’s marked another milestone in his career, a triple platinum award!
We don’t know what explanation he gave to M before he left but just like you said, M was fine the whole night so I think it was a valid reason. I just admire how these two defend each other…not that they have to but they are each other’s support system. No one else will understand what they both are going through so they have to rely on each other in times when people begin to doubt their sincerity for the other.
It’s also possible that they had to avoid drawing too much attention for themselves from the guests. The event was not about them. I could just imagine the chaos i would have brought with all 3 (pia, r and m) of the most-sought after personalities gathering in one place. It would have diverted people’s attention to them and not the wedding programme so someone had to leave. Again, that is a possibility.
A lot of people will doubt, but I stick to what I’ve been seeing these past few months…there is something special going on between the two and am so excited for that day when they will finally admit their true relationship status.
*Face palm* I’ve lost count of Tisoy saying, “Kung ano yung nakikita nyo, iyun na yun” (not the direct/exact quote but of the same variation)…….hmmm…….bahala na sa si Iron Man ( o Iron Maine ba yon? )…….ako? happy ako sa nakikita ko at ang nakikita ko ay happy sila when they are together (even though it’s clearly evident that they are both very tired, sleep deprived and sick to the point na namumutla na sila pareho minsan).
Sir Vilo….excuse me again as I will (hopefully for the last time) air out my grievances for the social media circus that happened over the weekend. Kebs na sana ako at carry lang sa mga nega when I got wind of RJ not being able to make it to the wedding reception. Yes, I was slightly bothered that he was not able to go to the reception with Meng but as many have pointed out, the man must have had a very good and valid reason for not attending the reception. Remember, this is the same guy who just a few days before told Bossing na, if he needs to cancel his Thursday schedules just for him then he would do it, therefore, whatever it was that took him away from the reception must have been of importance. So, ok na ako until I saw the tweet from Meng as to why Tisoy did not make it. I stared at her tweet for a few minutes and thought about all the negativity and bashing that was being given to RJ and once again this amazing girl did something that she didn’t have to do. She really didn’t have to do that, she could’ve just totally ignored it and let it go but she didn’t. (Reminiscent of the San Jose dramarama where Maine humbled herself and talked to San Jose first). She tweeted to calm down netizens from all the nega and bashing. And in my opinion, she’s under no obligation to us, her fans and supporters, to explain anything as that was a personal event that they attended. As actors and artists they become public figures but that doesn’t mean that the masses owns them. What they do in their own time is their own. Are they answerable for they actions? Yes and no. Yes, they have an image to uphold and thus become role models to many but that doesn’t mean they have to be saints or infallible human beings. I always cringe when someone say, “but they shouldn’t be drinking or smoking (or whatever “bad” things they did) as the children who idolizes them will think that it’s ok to do and will copy them”. Yes, smoking is bad for your health as well as doing drugs. I’m not going to say no to drinking as I myself love a good bottle of wine (if drinking in excess then yes, that is very bad.). But you know what? Those children are not theirs, it is not their responsibility to teach them right from wrong. If you’re a parent and rely on other people to teach your children those things then it may be time to take a step back and assess your family situation. Now, if you’re an adult who takes what public figures say and do as golden and becomes you’re whole reason for existing then maybe it’s time to get some professional help, don’t you think? My point is, whatever is going on between Meng and RJ, whether they’re only friends, or MU, or are already together, they are under no obligation to explain any of that to us. Whatever it is that is going on between them personally is between the two of them and none of us have any rights to demand a confession from them. Yes, we only want what is best for the both of them and we certainly don’t want either of them to get hurt but please stop making kawawa of either one of them. Especially of Meng who everyone seems to paint as a porcelain doll who can easily break. The girl is a self professed introvert and pessimist but that doesn’t mean that she’s a pushover or breaks easily. In fact, I think it’s those qualities that makes her a stronger person that most does not give her credit for. Should one day they decide to finally let us in on the real score between them then I will be happy for them with whatever THEY decide is best for them. (BUT as those who have read some of my posts, I think you already know which side of the fence I’m on and truth be told, I really don’t think that they will make it to that five year mark. And before I get bashed for getting them hitched at such a young age…….age is just a number and really has nothing to do with maturity. I’ve know people who are in their 30s, 40s even 50s who I can safely say should not be married as they don’t have the capacity to take on the responsibility of being in a mature and lasting relationship). RJ and Meng, well, they are who they are and I love them both for just being themselves.
@aiofthebeholder. Right on the mark, sistah! I’m with you. I posted about introversion vs. extroversion a while back. I may have to dig out the stuff & re-post it (maybe…thinking….).
People mistake introverts as weaklings. No, they are from far it. Lea Salonga is a self-professed introvert, but she’s no weakling. As a matter of fact, she’s the opposite. Lea exudes strength & independence.
Quote from http://www.psychologytoday.com:
“Introverts are drained by social encounters and energized by solitary, often creative pursuits. Their disposition is frequently misconstrued as shyness, social phobia or even avoidant personality disorder, but many introverts socialize easily; they just strongly prefer not to.”
Quote from Wikipedia:
“Introverts are typically perceived as more reserved or reflective. They are people whose energy tend to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction”
“Introverts often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer and inventor are all highly introverted.”
So Menggay is all of the above…and more. I would venture to say that RJ is also an introvert, to a lesser degree though.
It’s interesting to note that on occasions when RJ was bashed mercilessly, it was Meng who stepped up. Other artists would have let the incident take its natural course & die its natural death. But, no, Meng became the bigger person. And she was under no obligation to do it. She went out of her way to apologize to Julie Ann during the SPS episode for a transgression that she did not even instigate or commit. She handled that incident with such grace for one so young.
This weekend’s Vic-Poleng wedding reception debacle is another instance. The bashing was more on A than M’s side. Alden posted a cryptic tweet w/o reference to anyone in particular. However, M’s tweet was a direct defense of A. Despite knowing that she will be butchered by one-sided fans for being upfront & straightforward, she pressed on. I commend her for her valor. Both times, Meng displayed fortitude & grace under pressure. The adults can certainly learn a thing or two from her.
Both A and M may physically look like they’re in their teens, but both have handled adversities with grace, class, & maturity that are sorely lacking in more mature & veteran celebrities. I agree with @aiofthebeholder that they may not make it to the 5-yr mark based on how things are progressing between them & they’ll get hitched. But age is a mental state. If it happens, it happens. The decision is up to them, not us. If it does happen, I am one happy camper!!! ❤
Verbal exchange on twitter, IG, & fb have reached toxic levels. This is not the 1st time it has happened and certainly not the last. Fame is one heck of a deal to pay the price for. It can potentially make or break any mortal. *smh*
I look at the commotion in IG and twitter this way: AlDub is still relevant and will remain relevant contrary to what the competition is saying palaos na sila. If A and M does not matter who cares if A is missing in the reception. At the moment their status in media has reached Princess Diana stature sa Philippines. They are the most followed and most photographed with people across all classes stalking them. So businesswise free publicity. However, my overthinking side panicked when I found out one of the Aldenatics A with this weekend is an OBGyne and I suddenly remembered the non-showbiz preggy GF of A story. And I connect the dots with him missing the reception bec of an ‘urgent matter’. Nabwisit ako sa sarili ko bec I am stressing myself with something that is a waste of imagination. I want to be over with this kabaliwan. Spring is coming. I need to go out more often.
Yes cate that crossed my mind too. The Preggy gf having hard time with the lihi issue or mad because they’re sweet at the reception which is outside his work. So I’m mad at myself too and sad if it’s true. Please don’t bash me……
Agree…Aldub Nation may now be divided but A & M are still the brightest stars in this side of the World.When you can be an attraction in somebody else’s wedding, when even Ms.U’s presence cannot dim M’s light at the reception.Francis Libiran’s Instagram featured M and Ms.U with this caption:”2 Queens.” That says a lot. I do hope you will not find me nega though when i say that the “no show” at the reception cured me of my kabaliwan and overthinking. It is a light bulb moment for me and i can breathe.Hindi na ko ma-ho hopia. RJ said ” what you see is what you get” i get it now.Sweet OnCam sa KS.Outside of KS, separate worlds. Not even M’s tweet can convinced me otherwise and it is fine.They are friends and a Team.They take care of each other.I love them both to bits and I want them to be happy.Maybe i will still be banking on Kismet to bring them together in the end but for now, this is just a show.I will enjoy it but i will not be disappointed now when I see A and his priorities.Even the preggy story, i can let go now.True or not True, so what? it’s just a show and yes, i’ll say it again Maine will be damn fine! Bibi Girl will still be kicking ass..Please don’t take this against me.I maybe wrong!
OMG Cate, your comment had me bursting out laughing… I’m still wiping tears from my eyes 😀 You connected dots that I never even saw, but they are there, aren’t they? If you think about it? It’s funny how you hated yourself after you let your panicky brains go that direction! LOL OverthinkPaMore!! 😀 I, too, let my mind wandered a bit to a direction I wished it didn’t go, before i reined myself in, but it was too late. I read different accounts of why he ditched the reception: that he went to the funeral of Loyzaga after the wedding; he didn’t want to cancel the bonding time he scheduled with the aldenatics; or that he decided to just go home and sleep instead… Then I wondered: why does Maine defend Alden all time? It seems like she’s very protective of him… Why does she need to be protective of Alden? … GASP. What if he’s another… Wentworth Miller…? NOOOOOO. Yup, to borrow your words, “Nabwisit ako sa sarili ko bec I am stressing myself with something that is a waste of imagination” -True that. I am ruining myself and my own happiness. I love the excerpt of a book you shared below. No need to wander and speculate, I’ll just take whatever I want to believe. I’m happier that way.
Hindi ba si Nidora na buntis kai anselmo. Well, I firmly believe its because of all that boojie dancing they do… Alden and Maine are so good at it, too. So, who knows, maybe sometime this year Maine might also have something to show for all that boojie-ing with Alden…. Yeah, I’d rather my imagination go towards THAT direction.
@jnnchn I was like did she do a housecall? Alangan namang i-PAP smear niya si A with all the Aldenatics in attendance. All rational thinking flies out the window bec of these kids.They are a pain in the ass.
Watch Alden will be extra sweet just because he pissed a lot of the aldub nation netizens afraid to lose his bread and butter the aldub TANDEM. Alone he will still soar but not that high without aldub. The magic is in Maine’s forgive me aldenatics, I’m stating a fact. Give Maine soap opera movies record albums let’s see who’s star will shine the brightest without each other. She has the “IT” factor that even the universe cannot fathom. Many of us cannot understand our fascination. She’s beautiful in our eyes. For us she can do no wrong that we can’t forgive her. Alden is a good man but it makes me think he is just being true to himself, career first that’s why Maine is important but not special to him.
@Isaa. Napakaone-sided mo naman. I’m an Aldenatics. I’m not a big fan of Maine but I support her because she is kind and she’s the other half of AlDub. Alden is already an established actor before AlDub. Yes, hindi na sya ganung kasikat pag wala ang Aldub pero sikat pa rin naman, kilala pa rin ng tao. And moreover, he’s a very good actor. Bakit mo kelangan gawan ng competition yung dalwa? Kung si Maine nga mismo tumatanaw ng utang na loob kay Alden eh. Charming pa lang si Maine ngayon pero RAW pa sya in terms of talents kaya need din nya si Alden esp sa acting. Career first si Alden? And what do you think of Maine? Tingin mo ba nagshowbiz si Maine para maghanap ng lalaki? Kaloka ka. Kahit si Maine career din ang priorities dahil dream nya to.
I second your motion @aiofthebeholder. With the things we see between RJ and M they might not make it to the 5 year mark na parang ang sarap ipusta sa Las Vegas. However it is also possible that they may go separate ways if the relationship becomes too long and stifling for their own good…just think about what Joey Reyes said about boredom and LN saying, “hindi araw-araw kinikilig”.
I told you two stories that account for the 227 days in between.”
“Yes, you did.”
“Neither explains the sinking of the Tsimtsum.”
“That’s right.”
“Neither makes a factual difference to you.”
“That’s true.”
“You can’t prove which story is true and which is not. You must take my word for it.”
“I guess so.”
“In both stories the ship sinks, my entire family dies, and I suffer.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“So tell me, since it makes no factual difference to you and you can’t prove the question either way, which story do you prefer? Which is the better story, the story with animals or the story without animals?”
Mr. Okamoto: “That’s an interesting question …”
Mr. Chiba: “The story with animals.”
Mr. Okamoto: “Yes. The story with animals is the better story.”
Pi Patel: “Thank you. And so it goes with God.”
– conversation between Pi and Japanese officials, in chapter 99 of ‘Life of Pi’
What a grave disappointment! It felt like someone stabbed my heart…Recent weeks showed a promise of a blossoming romance… Then with Saturday’s events … a big letdown… As RJ himself said when you care for someone you give them TIME. What then is another hour or two for his supposed EB “family” and “bff”? What could be more important that he should leave them on a “once in a lifetime” occasion?… I could forgive him if it were a family emergency but apparently it was not… We should now be able to see then what is just reel from real…He had time for fans… He could drive home his friend but…. I feel for you Maine… I hope you have not fallen deep for him yet. When someone truly cares and loves you he will take every opportunity just to spend time with you and be with you. My husband even when he was just wooing me had to wait for hours for me to resolve production issues just for him to see me or so he can take me home or so he can be sure i ‘m okay… There are several fish in the sea…You are still young, enjoy and try to meet others who could be your friends. And then when the right time comes I do hope you can find the ONE who would be truly worthy of your love. Better yet if you find one who would love you more than you love him…. Will still be a part of team replay but now with open eyes and no expectations…
Huwaaaw,grave ha!bilib din ako dito Kay Alden matibay talaga dibdib into sa mga bashers ng fans and sa mga dismayado sa kanya,pero napakabait na bata and Hindi yata marunong magalit,Isa yun sa reason kung bakit sya minahal ni maine,ang important naka attend talaga sya wedding nila Vic,eh kung pwede nga hatiin nya ang katawan nya para mapasaya tayo eh gagawin nya. Guys konting unawa naman sa nature ng work nila talagang ganyan kung sya lang masusunod gusto nya lagi sa tabi ng gf nya pero may obligasyon sila sa network eh yan ang bumubuhay sa kanila naka kontrata sya alam nyo yun,basta mahal din ni rj si Maine yun ang sa tingin ko,good vibes lang.
@Jojo Agree with you. Possessiveness kills Love and it hinders the journey to forever. Glad that they are both into this industry and understand the nature of their work which requires most of their time. Give and take relationship will strengthen their bond. Maine knows very well and understand the real story behind his absence in the reception. She is not the typical girl who would just freak out pag wala ang bf sa tabi nya, she’s rare indeed. Tularan sya.
Hahaha. Kung maka-BF-GF naman kayong dalwa. Kaya kayo nahohopia eh. They are friends, MU maybe. Etong mga nangyayaring bashing na to dahil sa isang walang kwentang dahilan eh patunay na mahirap talaga ang committed relationship sa showbiz. For sure alam yun ni Alden at Maine. Sinong magjowa ba ang komportable na lagi dapat alam ng public ang ginagawa nila, na dapat ipaliwanag ang mga bagay na dapat ay para lang sa kanila? Kulang na lang pati sex life alamin ng mag fans. Kaya bilib talaga ako sa Dongyan kung panu nila kinaya ang relationship. Sa ngayon, ok muna as friends si Alden at Maine. Pag wala na yung mga mata ng mga tao sa kanila, then they can have a real and happy relationship. Cheers!
All the speculations, what ifs and what nots! I kennat! I kennat anymore! Time to go my happy place…..Disneyland!!!! Who’s with me? I’ll buy you balloons and ice cream 😀
Funny but the alleged “victim” in the alleged “abandonement” seems to be doing fine. FACT: A & M were together last night for a TVC shoot. Check out @aldubfeed. Please IGNORE the pic with alleged “matching rings” lest expectations shoot up again only to be hopia-ed later.
She is fine because she was never abandoned.There’s nothing. It’s just a show and I am fine with it now. And I am no longer eating Hopia and I feel better. Please don’t get me wrong.I love these kids and only wish them the best. i do not hold anything against A. I will support them both. I’m just cured by that ” no show” of my kabaliwan. no more overthinking. ang linaw na sa akin and it’s fine. As a team and as individuals,these are great kids.As Rico Hizon said.They are good role models. Please do not hold this against me too and i”ll be the happiest person if I will be proven wrong.My last piece on this ,hopefully.
Wow, love the latest reads. Different opinions from every direction. I can agree they won’t make it 5 yrs, if and only, A would give it a chance. But he won’t and maybe will not. As he keeps on with this disappearing pattern on what everyone considers as special occasions, he seems to be intentionally or maybe unconsciously putting it on M and people’s faces what M really is to him. What you see is what you get daw di ba? This is what I see and I get affected by it. Clearly she is not on the same level as his exclusive fan club after all whom he gets to have time and spend late nights with. The thing is, other fans see this and I think Maine sees this. I dont know if she cares but other fans do that’s why they bash him. It doesn’t make sense kasi. They don’t need to pacify me, I’m just a fan and like some here, my eyes have been open for a while now. I’m not being clingy or possessive but it just doesn’t make sense kasi.
This brings me to the latest KS episode. So he brings up Valentine’s day, hmm. He seems to suggest he has plans to celebrate the day with her. Am I right? I don’t have to overanalyze how M took this. She herself does not want to be hopia so she downplays it. I hope he didn’t just say that on tv just for kilig. Fans are funny and M is just a girl after all. Who doesn’t want a date on this special day? M has been so vocal about wanting some of his time that I hope he’s not just being such a tease. That would be cruel. But with his reputation nowadays, I have a feeling he has other commitments on the actual day. Maybe a guesting to a company party or a get together with other peeps. He will make it up for sure that Saturday on EB. Maybe SPS will guest Maine for more work related special V celebration, then they’ll go their own separate ways the rest of the day. If I’m wrong in all this, e di wow! Gusto ko yan. Just be forewarned and fair warned ADN para di kayo mahopia.
True… Showbiz and tvc commitments are just that and do not count. If no personal time is given then it is just actually for show… We’ll just have to enjoy the show and not expect…
@jnstbl
grabe!! Tinodo mo na sakit..hahaha..”not at the same level as his aldenatics”.. oo nga…pero okay lang.Let us not bash him like other M fans do.Though i get it now where her fans are coming from.They are just protective of M..di nga lang maganda yung paraan. Sana lang stop portraying M as umaasa.She is not stupid.She sees.She knows.I watched KS replay last night and i am glad i still enjoyed it without the kilig.Happy lang.Hopia-proof na ko and it’s so much better and to be fair, fans lang naman umasa.sabi nila friends lang sila, What you see is what you get daw.so ayun na nga..Aktingan lang and it’s okay!
@jstnbl
You did not bash him naman.you just stated some very valid observations which some of us are just beginning to see.Nabulag sa kilig? hahaha.. I just hate M being portrayed as asang-asa kay A. Si Menggay pa! 21 pa lang yung bata sa Marso..marami pa makikilala yan.. Queen Bibi does not need a pity party..
I’m basically not a fan of LT’s as there are too much real life responsibilities on my plate, I don’t have the luxury of time to indulge into fiction. Funny, my mom knows about LT’s more than I do 😀 but when Aldub came, by virtue of its rawness, spontaneity (and hopefully authenticity), it caught my attention.
Watching replays of the episodes during my free time allowed me to keenly watch the details of their facial expressions, gestures, etc. towards each other. Before long, I already observed that RFJr wasn’t sincerely into Maine but just plain bread-and-butter stuff, leading me to a null hypothesis early on: “There is no real ‘special’ relationship between RFJr & Maine.” Just like the general attitude towards any null hypothesis which is to try to nullify or disprove it, I was also hoping that my assumption will be proven wrong, i.e. how I wished it’s gonna be REAL, not just reel between them. But, to my dismay, what is gradually unfolding apparently tries to prove my null hypothesis right.
Since it’s painful for me to see Maine unreciprocated (as a female myself, I can’t help but empathise with her) and since the element of sincerity/authenticity (from RFJr) is non-existent (which, in the first place, that element was supposed to be the very reason why Aldub was the only LT I watched), I find Aldub now just like any other fictitious LT’s around so I stopped watching it. But for those who still enjoy it as it is now, you may keep watching especially if it helps you during times of homesickness, depression and boredom. Aldub/KS has been therapeutic to many and for this it deserves great commendation.
Nobody else knows more accurately about RFJr’s real life/personal circumstances and needs than he himself. Who knows, he may have valid reasons why he avoids falling for Maine. Just let these two learn and grow from their choices and the consequences as they trudge along their respective journey.
As for me, there are more important issues in real life that truly matter and are truly worth these gifts of time, emotions, talents and energy God endows us. Be blessed everyone. Peace out 🙂
I’m interested in Meng’s Journey. I wonder what her Fairy Godmother is up to. I’m sure ,in time, Meng will.have her happy ending with or without Tisoy.So ‘m still tuning in but with eyes wide open now. I just hope if her heart is broken along the way, it will be ,in her words,very very light..
And yes ..More Real Life,Less Fiction now for me as well! God Bless us All Romantic Souls who used to believe in Forever..i hope we will not be that jaded again.
@potpourri and @tinkerbelle agree Ako there’s more to life than aldub. I hope meng will live her dreams and find somebody sincere. I’m a girl so I feel for her more than I feel for RJ.
I know we all mean well and we’d like a happily ever after for the lovebirds. But let us leave them be. I believe that what you see in KS is the real thing. This is the only time at this point of their hectic sched to express their affection and to be happily in love with each other. The Dabarkads know that they are seriously growing in love. Let us be assured that all the advice and love they need are given to those closest to them– their families and the Dabarkads. So let us enjoy the KS like any good movie. Let us not put pressure on them to say or do what all of us expect them to do as an item. They still have to mature on their own, pursuing their dreams and developing their own personalities , each one supporting each other and growing deeper in love. Responsibilities and commitments career wise will make them realize their priorities for themselves and for their families and how these would all make them more committed to each other. And in 2-5 years time, they can decide if a commitment of love and fidelity to one another would lead to the altar. Then the process of loving and commitment with one another goes on.
Basta ito lang, kung napanuod nyo yung KS dated 2nd Feb,yung song na “I will take you forever” na sabay nila na dubmashed read nyo mabuti yung lyrics nun paunti until and then tignan nyo silang dalawa pareho,yun na yun konting imagination lang,goodnight guys GV lang tayo lagi!
jojo that song is not their call. The writers were the ones who chose that song for them. Wag maging hopefull Baka ang aldub nation will create a hopia chapter. Just enjoy… The ks, the tvc, the magazines dahil dun Lang naman sila magkasama. After that walk away na wala silang bonding outside work. I will support their tandem but I will never be hopefull anymore it breaks my heart. What you see is what you get. So be it. And what I saw is not what I was hoping for. Sa sobra Kong addict sa Kanila before nahahati ang time ko sa devotion ko pag read ko ng bible. Now I have to be just a follower not an avid fan anymore. I will not be obsessed anymore. I will go with @aiofthebeholder Disneyland and take the offer of ice cream and balloons. By the way which Disneyland are we going to. Cali, Florida, Japan or hong Kong?
Wow. Reading the comments here these past few days has left me overwhelmed. I’m blown-away as i realize that I share the same sentiments as most of you. I gather that many here are first time LT followers like me, who developed an obsession with KS and A&M. So sincere and honest the sentiments here, It’s like reading your journals!
As for me, I’m finding this roller-coaster ride that is kalyeserye pretty exhausting already. Yes, I’m emotionally drained and I only have myself to blame. I’ve never watched any pinoy dramas much less follow a loveteam! But I was drawn to it after spending too many afternoons at my parents house. I witnessed the first split screen meeting of A&M and have been hooked since. Early on I came across the “Open Letter to RFJ” by the Marian devotees, read all about the coincidences in their lives– it seemed like the perfect “destiny love story of all time”! I pray for A&M as if they were my own kids, believing that we are all part of this universe conspiring to bring them together to their happily ever after. Yup, the hopeless romantic in me got sucked right in.
Ok, we all get it, right? We shouldn’t expect them to fulfill our fantasies about them, it’s their lives outside KS. And we, as avid fans, have our own take on how to appreciate Kalyeserye. So for me, my eyes are now wide open to the fact that this is all “Aktingan” after all. Sure, they are very good friends and who knows it might still lead to their “Forever”. But this in not what I signed up for. (As in, literally signed up with my cable provider, Pinoy TV for $$ every month! haha)
I will still probably watch replays online after dropping PinoyTV, but I will no longer let KS consume my life. Again, it’s my mistake that I viewed this as a semi-reality show love story/serye. As I’ve said, I’ve never followed any LT before as I find them too contrived. So now that they’re clearly delineating what’s Reel and Real, I’m sorry… I just KENNAATT anymore.
After reading all these concerns and comments about M being left out by RJ and with the hope that she gets someone deserving, I am actually more concerned about RJ because I see M as a woman who just discovered her confidence and independence na may kulo sa loob. Seeing his gestures na halos ayaw niyang bitawan si M like he couldn’t get his hands off her eh, sino ba ang mukhang takot mawalan? M definitely does not look clingy but rather affectionate.
I agree with @jstnbl that M does not need a pity party nor is there a need to bash RJ. We have to consider that he is having his house built and financially it is like spending money like water thus the need to keep on earning (siyempre he won’t open that subject) but I commend him for doing charity work as well. Despite enjoying the admiration of screaming fans he also shoulders familial obligations while M looks like she can retire tomorrow without any problems. In fact, her latest tweet about being on the beach sounds like a cry for privacy (she had a similar one about NY remember?) which makes me think that maybe she feels like it is worth giving a million just to be alone, as opposed to earning it.
I likewise echo the sentiments of those who consider that they both have strengths and weaknesses hence will survive with or without one another.
Eat hopia, ice cream, isaw or whatever you fancy and be merry.
There’s one nagging question and I wonder how many here share the same sentiment with me, how come he has not asked her out for at least a cup of coffee or if it’s not too much to ask a nice dinner date? I don’t even mean romantic. It just seems logical after all the fame and fortune they brought to each other. Other fans will defend A and say you don’t know that he didn’t do that yet in private. I truly believe he has not done it yet in private or in public thus the nagging question. Perfect times would have been after TP, the movie premier, after the holidays or his bday. Imposing ba? Did M decline, i dont think she would if asked. But would it really hurt tho? Curious lang kung may iba din nagiisip nito. I think this is why my being a fan girl is dwindling down.
Hi @ jnstbl..the answer based on his Cosmo interview is No.Wala daw time for bonding outside work..haha..another easter egg..if he is really interested,he could have make his moves a long time ago.Yung clinginess ,sa KS lang yun. As you succintly pointed it out, he has time and again intentionally or unconsciously put in in M and our faces who is she to him..not even at the level of his Aldenatics.. this is what is “between the lines” which i refused to see before until it is glaringly obvious na. Are fans supposed to get mad at him?No! Let us respect him and his choices in life. He does not deserve to be bashed because of this.No doubt ,he is good person and he deserves all the success he has worked hard for. But I ‘ve had too much hopia now and as @ Victoria said , I kennat!
Given the hectic scheds of both Maine and Alden/RIchard– the time they are together during shoots etc and the phone calls and texts are their lifeline/loveline. They only have few hours to sleep every night!! Their careers are soaring. And their relationship is what keeps them inspired to keep on going. Let’s just pray that they continue to strengthen each other and be happy with one another. Let us just love them both.
Not a newbie but confused by your pov. If it’s really true, then i will be rooting for vico, not yoo vocal for his love for the lord but he preaches about him in victory church.
Ouch here. I am still at twitter. Hope M will find her love in Vico then. He is more righteous even if he is not vocal about his faith. I will just be a lurker sa twitter. Shout out to :-)all of you n the US. I know M is not perfect but iam still a fan because she is being herself.
i’m sure most of us here have been nagged by that question, along with dozens of other questions!!
pre-bossing’s wedding i was so confident that A&M are already dating and strongly believed they won’t even wait 5 years. (more like 3 yrs tops they’ll tie the knot). BUT…. that whole reception no-show?? that’s it, all hopes shattered. the final straw for me. i got the slap in the face that i needed to wake up from this spell.
but who knows, right? maybe SILA NA . basta ako, back to reality na muna. was so caught up on this whole AlDubbing thing, i now have three mountains of laundry to tackle!
@ victoria
Sabay pala tayo natauhan..hahaha..I too have been consumed by AlDub the last 6 mos. Secretly though kaya mas mahirap. Talagang RollesCoaster of emotions but I’m recovering na. Let’s go back to real life but I am cheering for Maine. She’s in showbiz to pursue her dreams.Bonus na lang yung Prince Charming.Wishing Alden all the best too.We cannot deny naman their chemistry on screen.
Jeez that three mountains of laundry. Hahaha. Labhan mo na yan uy.
Although I don’t really get the disappointment sa no-show eklavu ni alden sa reception…hindi ko rin gets kung bakit magkatabi sila sa picture nung kasal. Yung nasa altar and Alden was on the girl’s side para tabi sila ni Meng.
I don’t know. I enjoyed the pictures. I love seeing them together but there’s this side of me na nagtatanong kung bakit ganun? Maybe it was to make people or kilig at that moment? whatever the reason is..I think medyo nakakuha sila ng attention sa kasal ni Bossing at Poleng. I am not saying it’s wrong or bad..pumasok lang sa utak ko. I read somewhere na baka kasi planned nang hindi siya pupunta sa reception kaya sinulit ang time together sa church..I find it unnecessary kasi the attention should be kina Poleng at Vic.
Please note that what I am about to state are MY thoughts not necessarily the reality of M and RJ. I suddenly remembered a cryptic blog at the start of AlDub of how A is protecting a girl and if that girl knew how much A esteems her to provide such protection she will be touched and she will cry. At first most people’s impression is that that girl is M. With what is happening right now could it be somebody else? I do not believe that the girl is the singer. I am more inclined to believe she is non-showbiz. The new house, the new SUV for his ‘pemily’, his motivation to earn, earn, earn considering that his sister graduated already and Daddy Bae is actually a project manager. DB’s income is enough to support their family. In fact someone who could send his son to La Salle is not dirt poor. Their clan is actually upper middle class. So why does RJ has to work so hard the way he does as if may darating na taggutom?
@ jstnbl
Allow me to speculate. I think the younger generation nowadays prefer to casually spend time together without the need for “formal” dates. I noticed that in my nephews and my son, who are all in college… They hang out in between classes, meals, during projects, the occasional hatid-sundo, and with mutual friends. They text, call, and exchange messages when they’re not together, late into the night, and first thing morning. And then from there, if the girl they fancy feels the same way about them, they have a conversation about it. If there’s mutual liking, well, they’ll agree if they’re an item. 🙂 And, that’s it! My son said it if it turns out that they’re both not that into each other, they could still remain barkada since they have to see each other anyway. The “planned” dates happen when they’re already a couple and celebrating something special.
Alden and Maine spend more time with each other than they do with anyone else. They see and work with each other every day. They’re the hottest love team right now and everything they do, all their projects outside EB almost always involve the other. All these time together is either drawing them closer to each other, making them fall deeper in love… or deeper into friendship. 😀
@tinkerbelle
oh wow, same here! don’t want to be labelled “one-sided” but i guess i can’t help but feel for Maine. And why do i get this feeling na A’s trying to orient us all na aktingan lang lahat ito. That’s the vibe i get.
@ Victoria
We heard A loud and clear.Aktingan lang! But Maine will be okay.People always tend to underestimate her strenght but she is Kick -Ass all the way. I really hope he has not fallen for A and she will not have her heart broken along the way. But maybe that’s her lesson too.I feel her life is one Fairy Tale we are all reading. that’s why we are all hooked. Her tweets before Aldub were actually predictions.Latest is her wish yo get slimed at Nickoledeon which ADN are working hard to make it come true for her.That tweet was. in 2010.She is Ella Enchanted.She needs to see the Princess in herself which she can’t see before.Once she does,maybe her Prince will come.I am cheering on th sidelines Queen Bibi!
oops guys, i might’ve spoken too soon– hahaha . i think M just posted in her blog that she has a Valentine’s date . It might be with A!!! WAAAAHHH … hop in the roller coaster again!!!
Might be one of the salesman’s persuasion tactics to prevent his sales from declining? 😀 I hope Maine continues to guard her heart, maintain her emotional stronghold & stay focused. I hope too that the public has become less gullible this time while enjoying the ride. Keep the seatbelts fastened. 😀
Ang hirap po kasi mag jump sa conclusion agad eh,di pa natin na reach yung end game,yung finale nakakamiss din pala ang crunch time hahaha! Yung buzzer beater dun natin malalaman yung totoo,pero gusto ko talaga mag ride sa roller coaster ha iba,I will keep my seatbelt fastened nalang,busog na ako hopia.
Nah. I’ll celebrate my valentine first, wait a couple of days then get an update. This way I get to enjoy my own celebration. Mahirap na maapektuhan haha! After his no-show at bossing’s recepion all eyes are on him this Valentine’s day. This might be the last last last straw to some fans. Napi-picture ko na group picture with his fans haha.
@jnstbl
Let’s make a deal.Let’s meet after V Dayon this site and see how many scenarios you got right ( which you enumerated on your earlier comment) I think your batting average will be almost 100%
Ang sakit talaga nung banat mo: She’s not even at the level of his Aldenatics in his life.It’s very ouch ..hahaha..the truth hurts for a while but it sets us free.
Very very ouch talaga and very very wrong. It’s a date/deal. Let’s see which one these scenarios will take place that day:
A. Maine guests at sps, sweet moments etc
B. 1 or 2 company party guestings for A
C. Charity work
D. TVC shoot, post pic with his glam team, one of them has his hand on him
E. A in a fan’s house
F. A with aldenatics with a group pic
DEAL! you know i’m betting on you.Except that Maine already had a disclaimer on her blog: date with her bed daw .para siguro wala na mahopia..Classy Girl! She’s two steps ahead of the fans. So no guesting din siguro.
Count me in. All of the above is my bet.Maine guesting in SPS to pacify and to please the fans and ‘work related comitments excuse’ so no time for dating. There will be no romantic date that will happen privately. Itataga ko sa ilong ni Ms. A.
While i don’t think there’s more than friendship
at this point,some people who are not funnywalain on twitter are wondering if there’s really something about No.8 for these 2..Hopia pa more!
They have their photoshoot for MBL Oct.30 and Maine said in her blog they did not say a word to each other.Tapos,sinagot ng Nov.8..hahaha..labo ! Pero madami.na napapaisip sa 8 kahit hopia….
I am a lurker sa
ThirstyTitas and kay Pabebeng Amazona..lol..walang hopia dun, they just observe and give opinions and do not pass chismis as truth.Tawang tawa ako palagi kay Pabebeng amazona..i’ll check it out yung sinabi mo..di talaga ako paniwalain eh..haha
@javiman
I propose to ban Hopia na talaga.Tama na yannnn..hahaha.. but KS is still fun .That Ansera arc is briliant and good for laughs but A&M for real? KIsmet just played its tricks and we are all willing victims.Walang Forever!
I guess yung buntis ang concern Nya….. Slowly it’s coming very viable… Na the story might be true. Pag may mag uha uha uha Amin din sya…. For now he is reaping all the gold. It’s all for the money and stardom for him. He is God fearing kaya ang lag in yang sagot sa interview is always safe he doesn’t lie. What you see us what you get. Not we’re getting there…because if he does say that then he will be a liar. outside work they don’t bond dahil if he’s committed to someone then he will hurt both of them Maine and the “girl”, takot sya sa karma at sa Diyos. The wrath of God can make all things turn around you can lose all in a blink of an eye. Kaya let it be just a tandem. Walang forever para sa kanilang dalawa. Let him be himself. I know Maine knows the real score. She might have something for him but it’s only admiration. I think because RJ is a good man na orient na Nya si Maine sa ano ang totoo. He has been honest to her from the start. Kaya lagi Nya piñagtatangol si RJ sa mga bashers because she considers him a true friend. Alam din Siguro ng mga close na aldenatics ang real score kaya Hindi sila fans ni Maine because me third party involved na mas close sila dahil yun ang love ng idol nila. Thankful Lang sila Kay Maine dahil sa tandem Nila na nagpasikat sa idol Nila ng todo todo. I will still watch KS, I will still buy the magazines, I will still visit this blog but never will I buy ang pa cute ni Alden Kay Maine on screen outside KS like yung pa cute Nya sa hotline. It gives me bad taste in my mouth dahil Tupperware na ang dating sa skin ng pag papa cute Nya. Dun na Lang sa KS sya mag pa cute like watching a regular soap opera that brings kilig but not hope for the real thing any more. Kennatt talaga….
I laughed when I read your comment. haha. Sorry.
I just never thought na may mga tao pa palang nagdudwell sa issue na ito.
Hindi pa pala tapos ang buntis eklavu na ito.
My take on this, I will not assume anything about all this buntis shiz because walang proof. Walang babaeng lumabas, walang whatever na sumulpot. So, I’m thinking this is one of those issues na laging nababato sa mga LALAKING single na may ka love team.
I’m thinking maybe part of the demolition job na ginagawa ng MEGA haters and bashers and competitors.
Showbiz is a wild world. There are things na binabato sa kanila kahit hindi totoo all because they are up there.
And as a fan..hanggang tingin lang ang kaya nating gawin. Hanggang tingin at wala tayong alam sa mga ganap off cam, unless you are close to them.
I love both Alden and Maine and to be honest with you, it sucks that there are fans out there who are easily swayed when they hear a rumor about Alden and/or Maine. Medyo bias ako kasi I easily believe the positive ones and give them the benefit of the doubt when there are negative things thrown at them..but I guess that’s normal kasi fan ako nung dalawa eh. It’s crazy to be a fan. 😀 My gosh.
I just think that it’s really harsh to insinuate dahil sa isang issue na walang proof, na walang ebidensya.
“Kaya let it be just a tandem. Walang forever para sa kanilang dalawa” – I think..no one will know kung may forever o wala ang dalawang ito. 🙂 unless Diyos ka.
@Victoria
Tungkol ba ito sa blog entry ni Maine?
copy paste ko na lang dito yung thoughts na sinulat ko sa group namin.
Lagi akong naniniwala sa mga blog posts ni Meng at nagrireact ako base sa mga sinusulat niya. And same pa rin naman ngayon. Di naman ibig sabihin na filtered eh hindi na totoo. So, I believe her na wala siyang date sa Valentines day, na kadate niya ang bed niya kasi Sunday yun, or whatever..okay lang.
Kasi hindi naman ibig sabihin na wala siyang ka date sa Valentine’s day eh wala nang magyayaya sa kanya the day after or before 14.
Kung wala silang date sa Valentine’s day..eh di wow. Pero hindi naman niya sinabing wala siyang kaDate buong taon. It’s just one day. Pwedeng mag date before 14 or after 14..whatever suits their taste. 😉
Cheer up. 🙂
Alden did a countdown and made an inkling that he has plans to spend that day with Maine in one of the ks episodes this week. My point is pls don’t be a tease. Unfair kay M and quite insensitive kung palaban lang yon.
@jstnbl
I’m sure you know that whatever KS Alden says during KS should be taken with a grain of salt because they’re both portraying a different persona during KS. They’re working. I don’t why everything they say on KS are interpreted as 100% related to their REAL LIFE. Reel and/or REAL remember?
And I don’t know what Maine thinks really because she didn’t say on National TV na umaaasa siyang magdidate sila ni Alden sa 14.
How did that become unfair? KS Alden was saying things to Maine/Yaya Dub on KS. If he wants to date Nicomaine, I know he’s man enough to call her offcam and ask her out.
Bet you,he will not…He’s not just into her.Otherwise, he could have make the moves a long time ago. And don’t take this against me. i am not taking this against A too.It’s his life..
OMG @tinkerbelle natawa ako sa “And don’t take this against me.” Of course I won’t. haha.
Anyway, since sinabi niya sa cosmo interview niya na halos wala raw silang time lumabas together I thought maybe he’s telling the truth OR maybe not 😀 hahaha.
Oh my gosh, trust me..I have become super maduda sa lahat ng scoops and interviews nila.
Kasi I’m torn between “If I don’t believe Alden and think na maybe showbiz ang answer niya, it would mean na he’s lying. And I don’t take him for liar.” “If I believe him, it’s heartbreaking.” LOL. Jeez. hirap maging fan pala.
So I have decided to just believe whatever he says but still keep the hope na BAKA..maging sila. Na baka may gusto siya kay Maine. Na baka he wants to give this a chance. Sana maging sila.
After all, hindi rin naman ako isa dun sa mga naniniwalang SILA NA. I’m thinking that maybe they’re getting to know each other. Enjoying each other’s company. Slowly but surely. And enjoying their success together. Maybe they’re friends, mutual na gusto ang isa’t isa or whatever pero gustong focus muna sa trabaho..or maybe TORPE ang baliw na alden. :3
I’m just so looking forward to that day na magkakasama sila sa mall shows, movies, and whatever tapos magkaka inlovan. hahaha
Oh @tinkerbelle
I disagree pala sa “He’s not just into her”. Maybe hindi pa sila mag on or they’re not going out but that doesn’t mean na he’s not into her.
😉
@victoria..
It’s okay..huhuhu..we’ll get over this…not the end of the world. Excited what’s in store for Bibi Girl though! She’s a winner.For now,let us sulk and cry in a corner.this too shall pass
I can’t even describe my exact emotions at this point. To give a background, I don’t really watch EB. My Mom, when she would visit me here in Chicago always did. She hated brand X. She passed away a couple of months before Aldub. I am an only child so I was really devastated. Everyday I would cry and was just in deep sorrow. One day i was crying so much I thought I would have a heart attack. Sabi ko it has to stop..I have to be able to cope..for my wife and Son. So I prayed..asked my Mom to guide me. That night I went home switched the channel to GMA (EB is aired here three times a day) saw Maine dancing nonstop to the tune of fantastic baby. As to why I got hooked? I have no idea. But I found myself slowly recovering and happy once again. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko my Mom led me to KS kasi ito lang ang makakatulong sa kin that time. Weird di ba? I fought for this two so hard. Walang pwedeng magsalita ng masama. I have a relative who told me that her co worker’s niece is or was A’s girlfriend hindi ako naniwala. She could be just another fangirl like the one in Japan.
I don’t know..you are right @victoria. It is painful.
@jnstbl
Let’s make a deal.Let’s meet after V Dayon this site and see how many scenarios you got right ( which you enumerated on your earlier comment) I think your batting average will be almost 100%
Ang sakit talaga nung banat mo: She’s not even at the level of his Aldenatics in his life.It’s very ouch ..hahaha..the truth hurts for a while but it sets us free.
Awww. @Javiman..Lilipas din ang ouch hahaha…..This one will be cheering in Maine’s corner louder.I’m not a one sided fan..I just want Meng to have her fairy tale ending.I believe she will. She’s an extraordinary girl. Iyak muna.The Ansera arc can still.give us some good laughs though.Nood oa rin tayo ha?
So sorry for your loss @Javiman, but glad that you have found Aldub to be your emotional rescue. Malay natin up to heaven kinikilig pa rin ang Mommy mo.
At yung mga ayaw ng hopia diyan pakibato na lang dito sa Canada kasi I have to go to the Chinese store para hanapin yon tapos puro moon cake at tikoy ang nanduon (Chinese NY kasi). Sigh….
I can’t wait for her album. Bitin ako sa singing voice niya. Sarap pakingan her version of The Closer I Get to You kaso kulit ni Alden sa end part ng song.
Really? I don’t know, maybe I’m shallow, but I still find Alden incredibly Hot. Despite my disappointment. I was only bent out of shape for about a day and then I forgave him. Just like that. He didn’t even have to ask me to. Maybe because he looks… so strong. You know, like he can twirl me around, toss me up in the air… Yeah, I’d run off with him if he was an illiterate farmer. I’d live in his mud hut, feed his cows, milk his chickens.. I’ll let him teach me how to do the boojie.
He is hot.That’s not our point.We still like him but our point and for which we sign for is A &M being real. Turned out they were never real.
They just gave us a good show with lots of delicious hopia which some of us are not eating again.This is not about him.This is about US and how we were put under a spell na mahirap gumising.Now that the clock struck 12..the coach is a pumpkin, the coachmen,lizards, the horsemen are rats.The Real Prince still has to find our Cinderella who because if her light,a thousand ugly stepsisters are bashing.
Sensya na,off ako from work..patola lang.Bear with me.
HAHAHAHA I do get the point. I’m just over it na, nakakapagod. As @Cate said, those two are a pain in the ass. But my imagination still running wild and in a direction na hindi na ako nabwibwisit sa sarili ko. And I’m keeping my rose colored glasses on 🙂
However, I’m very impressed with your rant -Galing!! Disney themed 😀 .
@tinkerbelle – your name is disney, too. naka terno lahat, pati rant 🙂 hahahaha. and no need to apologize dear 🙂 this blog is one hell of an interesting place to read about AlDub. For months, I’ve read fans going through ups and downs (myself included). And every “down” ALWAYS feels like we are never coming out of it… 🙂 hahah
@jnnchn
Wala eh… i think it’s good for my psychological health to assume na wala na lang talaga yung A&M..yoko na ng roller coaster,kapagod na lalo na makikkita mo yung pattern ni A..parang ako na nakipag break.hahaha
I do still enjoy the ansera story. I prefer it actually as I know it’s scripted. It’s painful to watch him pacute na. Pilit na ang dating it’s awkward. Regarding the buntis story, I don’t believe it. I don’t know why but I really don’t believe it. He was asked at the movie presscon if he is with someone else or namba-babae daw ba siya. He said no and I believe him.
Amen! Baka mapagkamalan tayong one sided.I did drink the AlDub Kool-Aid hahaha..No regrets.Sarap sabayan ng Hopia eh..balik na sa realidad. But i still enjoy KS minus Alden’s ackward pick up lines.. he’s still cute though.His face is all over EDSA.
@potpourri
Harsh…hahaha but like in a fairy tale, the villains and monsters will be shown for who they really are.If he’a a real prince, a hero..it will show too.I just hope he is a real prince and this does not mean I am saying that he has to be Maine’s Prince.
I don’t do Twitter eh..but i’ve seen some pics of the episode today. Let us see..Hindi na kasi ako funny(walain). On cam pa rin kasi yun but like what I said,I would be happy to be proven wrong.I would be happy to eat my words.I’m now an AlDub Agnostic..hahaha.I do not know anything anymore.
Hi guys, ive been a silent reader of vilo’s blog every now and then and i kinda agree with your assumptions. I know na clear na ito issue na ito from miss R na there’s nothing going on between P and A. But i dont know I have this “gut feeling” may something. This is my own observations. Im team abroad pero kpg nanunuod ako ng replay may something tlga. Si A di xa mgsasalita and i think eat bulaga hosts pagtatakpan nila for the sake of ratings. Just observe guys, there are times terno sila damit, lagi sinasabi ni A na ” Tama na yan” kpg may spiel sina S & P. Ngaun di n sila pinaghhost ng sabay kasi mdmi nkkahalata. Yun lng nppnsin ko. I dont know if dummy account ito from brand x or “eb staff daw” xa. Check @unknowneb07 twitter. Pero may mga point xa tama or bka hate lng nia ang Eb.
@candriel
Sorry, i am not that paranoid. Wala akong napapansin kay A and P.. walang matibay na ebidensya. My cynicsm comes from A’s unconscious actions..Patring is a rehashed issue for me.
@jstnbl
This is what keeps me off twitter..hahaha..the paranoia ,the over analyzing of some fans..hahaha..di ako ganun kalala na nagterno lang ng damit,may something na? Hello,Stylists?
Let me tell you the instances my doubts started
1. Walk of Fame ( supposed to be sick but confirmed to be in Tagaytay with the Glam Team , not Patring) – I can let this go though.
2.A’s birthday.( after eat bulaga, spent the rest of the day with Aldenatics..no Maine Time at all..just the show) let this go too.
3.Reception no show .Pagod daw and yet he has pictures with the Aldematics. They were together till midnight.They have pictures in Twitter.
So i have resibo fo every doubts.I can’t let go of the third. Haha..still it would be fun to eat my words..hahaha
Mahirap pa mag bigay ng conclusion eh,kasi wala pa talagang final bell/round sa kanilang dalawa,pero sa last straw ko,bet ko pa rin si richard for Maine win or loose kebs lang,Hindi muna hopia ang feel ko tikoy na muna kasi Feb na eh
Cge join Ako sa bet Hindi Ako Diyos pero as of now I don’t see a forever…….my princess Maine will soar higher even without RJ. Today’s weeksary is filled with pakilig tag lines but it did not make me giddy even the stolen kiss did not move me. Thank you lord I don’t need a rehab, I’m over it,,,,,,, I will support just because all my love is for Maine na Lang. Unlike before I love them both. Alden will just be another actor for me. Please don’t bash me. It’s only me.
Ipagpaumanhin na po ninyo ..this is my first time to comment on Vilo’s blog. My POV on A&M – I think theirs is still “IN PROGESS”. Both of them are honest naman as to the real status of their relationship. Nothing romantic at this stage but they are not closing their door. Consistent sila sa sagot nila. The only question is if their special friendship ( I will claim this at this stage dahil it requires a degree of closeness for them to execute yun mga roles nila sa KS) will progress to “SILA NA” stage. I tried convincing myself that in due time magiging SILA din but there is this devil in my mind telling me na it will not happen.
Pero unlike some of you, I think NDM is the one with reservation. She is a smart girl and she guarding her card close to her heart. She already put a line as to what is reel and real based on her interview with Ricky lo and cosmo. And I admire her for being upfront and hindi pa-showbiz ang sagot. She is not pa-showbiz remember and I think she will not compromise her values and views.
The game changer will be if someone will seriously pursue NDM. Sabi nga madami ang interested pero hindi lang make porma because of RFJ. So i will wait and see what will happen.
Halt muna yung relationship IN PROGRESS. Mas prefer ko growth/maturity nila as individuals IN PROGRESS. I’m scared for Maine kung magkatuluyan sila ni RFJr with the character he is showing off-cam.
@ potpourri
Have you witnessed an instance of this? Anyways, i think Maine is smart enough. Sometimes,i forget how young she is.She should meet other people ,hindi yung parang nakareserved for one lang.Pero,if it’s any consolation to you, at this point,i don’t think he is into her outside KS. But to be fair to A,mukha namang mabait sya talaga,his network and co -workers have nothing but praise for his attitude so are there times he was mean to M? I kennat.😈
I will go with your thoughts @potpourri. They look good together though. Let’s just wish them growth and maturity in personality and character for now. We don’t know what the future brings. The idea of ‘forever’ may be vague yet bec they are still very young if we come to think of it. Nanghihinayang lang ako and heartbroken. Whenever they are teased about marriage both are jumpy so siguro a commitment may not be in their respective agendas yet. I hope someday whoever is holding back bet them would come to his/ her senses.
Ako naman, hindi forever ang pinaglalaban ko at the moment. Sako me if iniimpose ko sarili kong ideals, pero kasi if this person had this much impact in my life, ako na talaga bestfriend nya on and off cam.
With the way he is, based on the events (again we are talking about the lack of effort to share special occasions off cam), I’d be cautious, too. I mean, darn! He’s always running off somewhere like his butt is on fire. He is pretty consistent on being inconsistent. Sweet words on cam that doesn’t transpire off cam. Can’t live without her daw… wonder why? In what aspect? Kinilig ako, I will admit it because I saw happiness in Maine throughout the whole show. She was genuinely ecstatic so why shouldn’t I be. We will see what Valentine’s day brings. Ito talaga inaabangan ko. Ako na ang pinaka masayang aamin I misjudged his character. He did say di lang naman para sa lovers ang araw na to, right?
we can only speculate. the thing is, we easily judge people based on what we see on cam or off cam (which is only small part of the whole story). again, if pakilig lang ang ginagawa ni alden ngayon, sana noon niya pa ginawa. why now? not pro alden, but try to give the guy some break. he is a gma artist working at eb. maine is only working at eb. maine understands him fully well. as what they say “they got each other’s back”. why not us then? also, maine is a smart girl and have a very conservative family. di makakalagpas yan sa pamilya ni maine if he tries to break her heart.
Agree po ako dyan,yung mga sisters ni Maine and yung brother nya gusto nila si richard and yung respect ng both families nila sa isat Isa Hindi pa showbiz yun.
When Aldub started, A would always thank aldubnation lang and his fans for the support. I’d always wondered why and felt bitin. I would even say out loud in front of the tv, thank Maine, as if he could hear me. It took him a while to thank her too and actually mention her name. It took several months for him to thank her on tv and I was like, finally! Not to say na hindi pa niya ginawa off cam but for the fans kasi what we see is what we get nga. And so ano point ko? Baka may very very light lang na delay sa mga bagay bagay kay A.
The recurring theme of the comments here right now sounds like everyone is nursing a Broken Heart….. Awww..
Forgive my insensitivity to your misery… It’s actually quite funny reading what sounds like someone trying so hard to downplay the hurt and disappointment they feel… everyone is trying to shrug it off 🙂 Parang kayo ang na-iwan magpunta sa reception by yourself…. It feels like your most awaited FIRST date went to the church with you, and then refused to go to the reception, and so you had to go there by yourself…( Ayyy! enebeyen).. And then the only reason he gave for refusing to accompany you was because he felt tired and wanted to hang out with his friends instead..(Grabe, ang sakit!!)… Why like that, Bae??..What does your friends have that I don’t have??…You left me on my own on our first social event together?!? Nakakahiya, they were all asking about you, Bae. They saw you at the church with me but not at the reception.. So, I had to make excuses for you, Bae….. Bae, I feel this is inconsiderate of you…. Wala na nga ako manliligaw because you’ve scared them all off, AND NOW THIS??! This is unacceptable, Bae, I love you but shouldn’t be like his…
Please, Bae, don’t try to play this all off by flashing your dimples at me… at.. please, lang, Bae, wala na ako sa mood para sa mga pa-cute mo.. ayokona.. tampuhan muna tayo Bae…please lang..
HaHaHa I love the fans here 🙂 I realize that it’s been like this right from the start when it comes to AlDub. A crazy roller coaster ride of emotions. I’ve been through severe doubts, and felt the elation of every little triumphs. I have spent hours scrutinizing every minute detail about these 2 kids to confirm or allay my fears… But through it all, kapit pa rin… We’re all baliw.. We’re all driving ourselves mad. I bet we’ve all lost count of how many times we’ve said, “enough!”… I’m sure pretty soon, Hope will rear its ugly head again and the tone on this blog will change… all over again… 😀
Hahaha!grabe silaaaaaa!!!ano kaya masasabi ni richard nito kapag nabasa lahat lahat yung mga comments?baka mag suot nalang sya ng bayong sa ulo nyan!hahaha!
theomelettestation 
The past, looking back.
Nostalgia and memories,
Unforgettable.
We fought for our love,
Hurdled trials thrown our way,
Faced all challenges.
We cried when we hurt,
Leaned on each other for warmth,
We laughed through our tears.
Then we’re torn apart,
By forces that can’t fathom
The depth of our love.
Where art thou, my love?
Come away with me to start
A new beginning.

I love LN’s love story. It is sweet, charming and nostalgic. This week’s KS is definitely one of my favorites. Whoever thought of bringing LN’ s love story in Black and White is genius. However could A and M bring magic in an old stereotypical love story is beyond me. I wonder if other LTs could bring to life Ansera’s characters the way A and M does. May magic din kaya at kilig? Their chemistry together is definitely tamang timpla. I am again amazed by the creative team of EB. Pwede na period film or teleserye.

@Cate: Absolutely agree with you. Telling Lola N’s backstory in B&W lends it a soulful nostalgia—a throwback to a time when life was simpler & romantic. A&M gave justice to the storytelling because their emotions were genuine & not at all put-on.
After the seemingly lackluster episodes these past few weeks, KS pulled out an ace & got its mojo back. The B&W tableau for the flashback is a fitting addition to its growing list of core elements (after split-screen, fan signs, dubsmash, reel-real splice).
They can use A&M again to tell the backstories for Lolas Tinidora & Tidora. They can even go back several generations beyond Lola Ariana Miley. Now, the possibilities for KS are endless.
It pays for EB and the KS creative team to listen to their loyal & avid viewers via Twitter, IG, blogs, & fb. They can mine so many golden ideas & create new storyboards with a unique spin to them. It’s a symbiotic relationship between the viewers (consumers) and the KS staff (producers). If they can find a fair middle ground, then KS is definitely in this for the long haul. And the loyal fans/viewers will fight tooth & nail for the KS cast & staff. Proof? the 41M tweets are a testimony that this fandom can deliver if it is empowered to do so.
God bless! GV!

@cate @NautilusMath just like you, I am in complete awe of what’s happening in KS…The romance story is nothing new, but again the word magical comes into play here. No other local LT can pull this off, I am not being biased but I can say I have been around long enough to know that only this young pair can portray such characters effortlessly.
Vilo, yet again, used the perfect term: nabalani. Maine’s beauty is just timeless that she draws all eyes even hearts when the camera pans in her direction. RJ, on the other hand, proves that he deserves every bit of that Best Actor award for delivering highly emotional lines while distorting his face and trying to be funny all at once. This makes him more lovable. I am totally in a fan girl mode right now…
This week’s arc reminds me so much of The Notebook…I have seen that movie countless of times already, but still the impact is the same every time I watch it. And, I am sure that when I replay these KS episodes, I will still feel the pain of Nidora and Anselmo’s longing for each other. The way they act is just near flawless — on LIVE TV!
In normal circumstances, producers spend money sending their talents to acting workshops, but with EB, they actually earn millions televising the live acting workshops of their prized talents — huge difference!
The people from the other station are sure terrified and beyond worried that these two are just waiting for their right prime time TS script.

I am glad that A and M is not confined to their AlDub characters only. A and M become AnseRa. Their hugot lines pull heartstrings but the way the characters are portrayed absurdly di mo alam kung iiyak ka o tatawa. Dramedy at its best. I know a lot has been written about Kalyeserye and AlDub but I hope Eat Bulaga will publish a coffeetable book about their epic segment. The LN love story is too big for afternoon viewing sa totoo lang. Pang-prime time siya or pang- movie.

Here I go again…can’t help but say na kuntento na ako to what I see between M & RJ even without verbal admissions nor denials. I am not expecting or hoping that they end up together because I have conditioned myself to be like them, living in the present, happy and contented albeit both of them reaping well deserved accolades non-stop. Pero sana if all the accolades fade and disappear I hope they will cherish what they had for one another (I think they both said something in the past to that effect) and continue to be good friends. It will be a tall order to wish na nobody will get hurt if they grow apart pero sana they will have the gift of maturity and wisdom to move on.
It’s nothing short of being realistic kasi if we remember right even RJ said before “yung lovelife…nakakasira sa career yan”. But look at him now – kung minsan parang ang sarap pingutin kasi he is swallowing his words. Also was it sometime in the past when they said they are taking things between them slowly but both of their eyes can’t hide it. Asus really, uyyyy, lu lu lu lu??? It just shows that even both of them cannot predict themselves so why should we…at least they are managing themselves well… anything can happen in 5 years.
As a post note, I’d like to give credit to the creative thinkers of KS as it has become watch-worthy again because I agree, there was a lull in the series after the holidays.
Second post note, can’t wait for part 2 of the recent McD commercial. It is so subtle yet nakakaloka. RJ’s expressions are priceless and even if M is just implied – the idea makes you think the world is perfect…and you bet I watched it so many times.

I’m never one to cry, I’m not one to feel sad easily… yet watching the episode today pulled at my heartstrings. I’ve heard the stories of long ago when parents and elders would use extreme methods to keep lovers apart. i’m sure I’ve even watched movies depicting that though I can’t recall them. I was never as affected by those stories of torn lovers as I was watching Maine and Alden act it out as AseRa… It made me think of things that I normally wouldn’t think. I think nowadays we have the choice to be with someone, and the choice Not to be with someone, and move on. Divina is being cautious about Alden, and we all think, “rightly so!”. Yet there’s something so freeing about Nidora and Anselmo giving themselves over to love one another so completely and without reservations… I think maybe we have lost the true preciousness of love, of companionship, of friendship, that we can decide to let it go? Watching Anselmo & Nidora being brutally pulled apart, I felt how wrenchingly painful it must be to be kept away from your love… I could feel the yearning in my heart of love lost so suddenly and painfully, lost to something that I could see happening yet is beyond my control.. I now think of how those torn lovers from the past must have suffered so…
What I’m trying to say is, before KS, I wouldn’t give a sh*t what those people felt. KS makes me feel things I wouldn’t normally care about. They entertain me not through my mind but through how they make me feel. They say KS is kababawan because there’s no intellectual substance to it. True, I agree with that, it’s a silly show. But, I think teaching people how to feel is just as important, if not more so, than teaching people how to think. Teaching people how to feel happiness, sadness, and pain for someone else, teaches them to be more compassionate, kinder, loving and more patient with others. There are more than enough brilliant thinkers in this world. They end up thinking of the best ways to help themselves.
Despite our constant griping as to the true status of AlDub, obviously it doesn’t really matter because we’re all still here. KS reminds us of how things looked through rose-colored glasses we once wore. We know we’re wearing rose colored glasses now yet we don’t mind. Life is sweeter that way, isn’t it? Regardless of our circumstances? And when life feels sweet and we feel light and happy, we now notice littlest things… commercials, products, mik mik, haw haw, adidas shoes… For me, it’s isaw 🙂 I can’t wait to eat isaw when I get to go back home. Isaw doesn’t look so dirty anymore 🙂
I know I’m wearing rose colored glasses shipping these two. But, I WANT to wear it. I don’t want to be jaded anymore.

So far this is the most logical explanation of the Aldub phenomenon and why fans can’t get enough of RJ and M. Would also want to echo what LN said na naiingit siya when she sees them together kasi it reminds her of those days when she was young and in love…just like most followers of KS, watching it fills whatever void we have in our lives in a very positive way. Isn’t that what you call “projection” in psychological terms?

@Susiesays –
Logical? Wow, thanks for the compliment 🙂 I wasn’t even aiming for that, I just wanted that episode off my chest. I’ve not once felt sad watching a KS episode, not even during that plywood scene when everyone else cried. But, there was just something about Nidra’s story… a sort of deep yearning, that made me ache for her, even though i’ve never once felt that in my own life. We know her now as this snobbish, sorta evil matriarch, staunchly upholding the moral standards of correct society… and then to find out that she once fell in love with a poor farm boy, and eloped with him. Nag-tanan. She willingly lived with him in his little hut, tended his chickens and cooked for him… They both went through trials and tribulations of love, defied the odds, and were very happy. They both wanted to be together and nothing was going to stop them, if they could help it. And i have a feeling not even death would have stopped them… Even knowing they only had that short moment in time, they gave themselves over so completely to love… that was so brave. I always thought she was strict with her granddaughter because she was upholding Philippine moral society, backed by the Philippine catholic award 😀 I didn’t know that it was because she didn’t want Divina to feel the pain of love.
Anyways, KalyeSerye itself as a show is completely irreverent. These same episodes that I speak about come with all sorts of shaninagans like Batibot closing the show, and gasgas/tinidora turning into a special needs girl-child named gingging… Watching Alden and Maine together, plus Jowapao’s crazy antics makes me feel all sorts of happy.
And, no, I don’t know if I’m projecting myself onto this show, or the other way around. All I know is, it’s made me nicer as a person watching KS. And the love story there INSPIRES me 🙂 It’s made me look at love again like I used to not so long ago

Perhaps I was one of the people nowadays having real difficulty distinguishing between “real” and “reel” between our Meng and Tisoy. Way back December I have the positivefeeling these two are on their stages of friendship and will take a long time to develop into something romantic,as they say…but the turn of events for me, where the blurry lines of expectations vs reality was on 6th monthsary, A said something about what you see is what you get…dun na ko kinilig kc he has become vocals about his feelings towards M, esp the body languages…the way how he held his eyes,it’s like very fiery…Sabi ko ah siguro he’s really feeling something different towards M or he was seeing her more than a friend….and the PDA,,they’re both sweet on and offcam as per PEP interview when TAPE who manages EB renewed their GMA contract…and obviously with the fantastic back story of Anselmo and Nidora, albeit scripted, they still both find ways to improvised their acts….nabuhayan n naman ako, as if my excitement was almost equally the same when the anticipation of TP! Then I’ve also noticed some subtle changes on Meng towards A…right so after the Saturday episode when A passed the 1st condition-he played the ukulele and the keyboard! I saw Meng genuinely caught off-guard towards A’s inclination in playing musical instruments in a very short space of time., feeling ko M has seen different side of A that she hasn’t seen before-the keen determination…then today we have Bossing and Poleng wedding day special! And today na level up ang paghanga ko sa dalawa when they done the killer dance moves, the defying gravity dance moves,we were all caught by surprise as in they given us ADN a very lovely treat indeed!
And the wedding ceremony came along with our M&A bonded outside work,although mga dabarkads halos andun, but they were invited as guest! Oh I’m so rooting for them two to end up like Bossing and Polengs. Snapchats,IG post,twitter verse were so jam packed with their lovely photos together….then we were all waiting…waiting…waiting at least glimpse of them perhaps dancing away on the dance floor with the whole dabarkads! Enjoying and sipping wines, lovely foods, speeches…We’ve seen MENG’s plastered-snapchats all over IG and tweets, but hang on…where’s Alden? He’s nowhere to be seen? Straight away I gave him the benefit of the doubt, Sabi ko there must be a very legitimate good reason for skipping the wedding reception? But the only thing I’ve read was IG comment from Ms Ai saying kinda “he’s really really tired,he went home na kc mi early call any SPS at 8am…but hang on a minute same as with Ms Ai, kuya wally at kuya Jose was at the reception, dancing and singing away! Maybe I said perhaps he was really sick na he could’ve drop dead at the reception, but then again on M’s snapchat…he was such in a good form unless lng he’s acting again…but then he was in those situation before and he still managed it through…so Sabi ko Baka mi taping or other commitments na di na nya pwedeng I-reschedule….but then again Bossing&Polengs wedding had been planned already long time ago, and he could have cancelled it ahead of time…the thing is we don’t know his reasons for not being at the reception,really….it could have been a wonderful time for him to bond and enjoy with the whole Dabarkads outside the “normal work mode”….it’s only Alden can give us the answers, not the speculations of hundreds of fans from Twitter or FB or Instagram, nor statement from either Ms Ai(not that I don’t believe her, it’s just a second source) nor a statement from Meng, besides they’re just loveteam as professionals nothing more, or even as friends, she wouldn’t answer for him…..it’s only Alden Richards, just a simple tweet or statement just like you always did to appease some OA or mga “dismayadong” fans like me…….

Tama na muna ang stalking anyway you can watch him tomorrow at SPS. You can perhaps confirm it with how M looked at the wedding photos, she does not look worried that RJ is not around and maybe is even happy to know that her better half is resting.

Truly and realistic talaga ang ALDUB … a romance between two actors and the AD nation. I can read so many positive and negative comments coming from true fans and non-fans, in reaction to what this couple has been showing oncam and offcam. Amazing talaga the effect. I can see the personality of each fan sa twitter, fb and IG even here in this blog. It shows how individuals are taking their personal relationship with their bf, gf, hubby, wify or if single ka how you will be handling a relationship just in case maging committed na. There are matured ones who give positive comments and I believe these people have found their forever and are already wise enough having a good time in their journey. Some are immature, possessive, distrustful, bitter, gullible and jealous type… puro nega ang approach sa relationship … at mga suicidal (joke). Well this only defines that Aldub is LIFE , colourful with so many shades. Based from my personal relationship experience, as of now dun ako sa positive and bright colors ayoko na sa dark shades. I’ve been there and done that nakatawid na ako dyan. Kayo san na kayo ngayon?

Truly, Twitter and IG are toxic for A & M fans now. I’m sure Vilo’s blog will not be spared. Anyway, my two cents worth on all this and I am not Nega. I will not bash A or M : A’s no show at the Reception confirmed that this is all ” Aktingan Lang ” and Na-hopia tayo lahat. A was never into M the way we want him to be. He likes her but not that way. Friends lang talaga eh. I mean, How could you pass up the chance to be with your girl outside of work. He’d rather be somewhere else. To sleep, sabi ng iba but he is used to all nighters. I’ve heard he has pics with his Aldenatics last night and it was almost midnight. So, he’d rather spend his time with other people. It was clear. I mean , he could have stayed an hour or two but he can’t wait to be elsewhere. Not that I begrudge him his choice, It’s his life. We don’t own him or his heart. Di kayang turuan ang puso eh. Kung saan at kanino sya masaya, maging masaya na rin tayo. Ang hirap ng nakiki -lovelife. As for Maine, she will be fine. She’s a true Millenial woman; smart, fierce, independent. She’s no damsel in distress.Queen Elsa nga eh. The cold will never bother her anyway and I don’t think her happiness will depend on a man. And she’ll meet “THE ONE”. I mean, at the People of theYear Awards, people in attendance were smitten by her charm. As one smitten guy said, she has that old Hollywood vibe. I am not worried about her. Last night, I almost want to ship her with Vico Sotto when I saw their picture together hahaha.. She is young. She should enjoy this time. Love will come and we will cheer for her . I will still be Team Replay . I know I will still enjoy it but my eyes are now wide open. The truth is out there. I wish them both happiness. They are fine kids.

I’m such a big fan, really wanted for them to end up together but as much as we wanted to, still, it’s their lives, they’ll be the one to decide..

Just a thought (and not picking a fight)…if the “aktingan” issue is true, how can we account for those PDAs outside KS? IMHO, M is not that cheap to accept any sweet gestures, esp. physical ones, from RJ if they do not have any meaning to her. It is not only through RJ’s eyes that we can see affection when actually mas malagkit tumingin si M kay RJ when she is unconscious with the camera.
Ano siya, basta na lang nagpapahawak o nagpapahipo? And if RJ does not want M to be identified with him outside KS, why the heck did he come and stick with her at the wedding ceremony? Remember RJ’s contract is with GMA hence he has obligations outside EB. So if the reason be personal or professional why he left, he is not committed to stay at the reception para iRogelio si M.

Can’t help but comment on these recent posts. Yes, J respect your views because I, too, got somehow disappointed when I didn’t see him walking around and taking pictures with everyone else in the reception. I felt, that he owed it to himself more than anyone else to relax, unwind and spend some quality time with these people he gets to work with everyday. Too many questions lingered until Maine tweeted that something came up which required him to leave early. And that was backed by the award he got earlier that day on SPS. He needed to rehearse for a prod number! So, it was still about work! –important as it’s marked another milestone in his career, a triple platinum award!
We don’t know what explanation he gave to M before he left but just like you said, M was fine the whole night so I think it was a valid reason. I just admire how these two defend each other…not that they have to but they are each other’s support system. No one else will understand what they both are going through so they have to rely on each other in times when people begin to doubt their sincerity for the other.
It’s also possible that they had to avoid drawing too much attention for themselves from the guests. The event was not about them. I could just imagine the chaos i would have brought with all 3 (pia, r and m) of the most-sought after personalities gathering in one place. It would have diverted people’s attention to them and not the wedding programme so someone had to leave. Again, that is a possibility.
A lot of people will doubt, but I stick to what I’ve been seeing these past few months…there is something special going on between the two and am so excited for that day when they will finally admit their true relationship status.

Sir Vilo….excuse me again as I will (hopefully for the last time) air out my grievances for the social media circus that happened over the weekend. Kebs na sana ako at carry lang sa mga nega when I got wind of RJ not being able to make it to the wedding reception. Yes, I was slightly bothered that he was not able to go to the reception with Meng but as many have pointed out, the man must have had a very good and valid reason for not attending the reception. Remember, this is the same guy who just a few days before told Bossing na, if he needs to cancel his Thursday schedules just for him then he would do it, therefore, whatever it was that took him away from the reception must have been of importance. So, ok na ako until I saw the tweet from Meng as to why Tisoy did not make it. I stared at her tweet for a few minutes and thought about all the negativity and bashing that was being given to RJ and once again this amazing girl did something that she didn’t have to do. She really didn’t have to do that, she could’ve just totally ignored it and let it go but she didn’t. (Reminiscent of the San Jose dramarama where Maine humbled herself and talked to San Jose first). She tweeted to calm down netizens from all the nega and bashing. And in my opinion, she’s under no obligation to us, her fans and supporters, to explain anything as that was a personal event that they attended. As actors and artists they become public figures but that doesn’t mean that the masses owns them. What they do in their own time is their own. Are they answerable for they actions? Yes and no. Yes, they have an image to uphold and thus become role models to many but that doesn’t mean they have to be saints or infallible human beings. I always cringe when someone say, “but they shouldn’t be drinking or smoking (or whatever “bad” things they did) as the children who idolizes them will think that it’s ok to do and will copy them”. Yes, smoking is bad for your health as well as doing drugs. I’m not going to say no to drinking as I myself love a good bottle of wine (if drinking in excess then yes, that is very bad.). But you know what? Those children are not theirs, it is not their responsibility to teach them right from wrong. If you’re a parent and rely on other people to teach your children those things then it may be time to take a step back and assess your family situation. Now, if you’re an adult who takes what public figures say and do as golden and becomes you’re whole reason for existing then maybe it’s time to get some professional help, don’t you think? My point is, whatever is going on between Meng and RJ, whether they’re only friends, or MU, or are already together, they are under no obligation to explain any of that to us. Whatever it is that is going on between them personally is between the two of them and none of us have any rights to demand a confession from them. Yes, we only want what is best for the both of them and we certainly don’t want either of them to get hurt but please stop making kawawa of either one of them. Especially of Meng who everyone seems to paint as a porcelain doll who can easily break. The girl is a self professed introvert and pessimist but that doesn’t mean that she’s a pushover or breaks easily. In fact, I think it’s those qualities that makes her a stronger person that most does not give her credit for. Should one day they decide to finally let us in on the real score between them then I will be happy for them with whatever THEY decide is best for them. (BUT as those who have read some of my posts, I think you already know which side of the fence I’m on and truth be told, I really don’t think that they will make it to that five year mark. And before I get bashed for getting them hitched at such a young age…….age is just a number and really has nothing to do with maturity. I’ve know people who are in their 30s, 40s even 50s who I can safely say should not be married as they don’t have the capacity to take on the responsibility of being in a mature and lasting relationship). RJ and Meng, well, they are who they are and I love them both for just being themselves.

@aiofthebeholder. Right on the mark, sistah! I’m with you. I posted about introversion vs. extroversion a while back. I may have to dig out the stuff & re-post it (maybe…thinking….).
People mistake introverts as weaklings. No, they are from far it. Lea Salonga is a self-professed introvert, but she’s no weakling. As a matter of fact, she’s the opposite. Lea exudes strength & independence.
Quote from http://www.psychologytoday.com:
“Introverts are drained by social encounters and energized by solitary, often creative pursuits. Their disposition is frequently misconstrued as shyness, social phobia or even avoidant personality disorder, but many introverts socialize easily; they just strongly prefer not to.”
Quote from Wikipedia:
“Introverts are typically perceived as more reserved or reflective. They are people whose energy tend to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction”
“Introverts often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer and inventor are all highly introverted.”
So Menggay is all of the above…and more. I would venture to say that RJ is also an introvert, to a lesser degree though.
It’s interesting to note that on occasions when RJ was bashed mercilessly, it was Meng who stepped up. Other artists would have let the incident take its natural course & die its natural death. But, no, Meng became the bigger person. And she was under no obligation to do it. She went out of her way to apologize to Julie Ann during the SPS episode for a transgression that she did not even instigate or commit. She handled that incident with such grace for one so young.
This weekend’s Vic-Poleng wedding reception debacle is another instance. The bashing was more on A than M’s side. Alden posted a cryptic tweet w/o reference to anyone in particular. However, M’s tweet was a direct defense of A. Despite knowing that she will be butchered by one-sided fans for being upfront & straightforward, she pressed on. I commend her for her valor. Both times, Meng displayed fortitude & grace under pressure. The adults can certainly learn a thing or two from her.
Both A and M may physically look like they’re in their teens, but both have handled adversities with grace, class, & maturity that are sorely lacking in more mature & veteran celebrities. I agree with @aiofthebeholder that they may not make it to the 5-yr mark based on how things are progressing between them & they’ll get hitched. But age is a mental state. If it happens, it happens. The decision is up to them, not us. If it does happen, I am one happy camper!!! ❤
Verbal exchange on twitter, IG, & fb have reached toxic levels. This is not the 1st time it has happened and certainly not the last. Fame is one heck of a deal to pay the price for. It can potentially make or break any mortal. *smh*

Charming pa lang si Maine ngayon pero RAW pa sya in terms of talents kaya need din nya si Alden esp sa acting. Career first si Alden? And what do you think of Maine? Tingin mo ba nagshowbiz si Maine para maghanap ng lalaki? Kaloka ka. Kahit si Maine career din ang priorities dahil dream nya to.

I second your motion @aiofthebeholder. With the things we see between RJ and M they might not make it to the 5 year mark na parang ang sarap ipusta sa Las Vegas. However it is also possible that they may go separate ways if the relationship becomes too long and stifling for their own good…just think about what Joey Reyes said about boredom and LN saying, “hindi araw-araw kinikilig”.

What a grave disappointment! It felt like someone stabbed my heart…Recent weeks showed a promise of a blossoming romance… Then with Saturday’s events … a big letdown… As RJ himself said when you care for someone you give them TIME. What then is another hour or two for his supposed EB “family” and “bff”? What could be more important that he should leave them on a “once in a lifetime” occasion?… I could forgive him if it were a family emergency but apparently it was not… We should now be able to see then what is just reel from real…He had time for fans… He could drive home his friend but…. I feel for you Maine… I hope you have not fallen deep for him yet. When someone truly cares and loves you he will take every opportunity just to spend time with you and be with you. My husband even when he was just wooing me had to wait for hours for me to resolve production issues just for him to see me or so he can take me home or so he can be sure i ‘m okay… There are several fish in the sea…You are still young, enjoy and try to meet others who could be your friends. And then when the right time comes I do hope you can find the ONE who would be truly worthy of your love. Better yet if you find one who would love you more than you love him…. Will still be a part of team replay but now with open eyes and no expectations…

Wow, love the latest reads. Different opinions from every direction. I can agree they won’t make it 5 yrs, if and only, A would give it a chance. But he won’t and maybe will not. As he keeps on with this disappearing pattern on what everyone considers as special occasions, he seems to be intentionally or maybe unconsciously putting it on M and people’s faces what M really is to him. What you see is what you get daw di ba? This is what I see and I get affected by it. Clearly she is not on the same level as his exclusive fan club after all whom he gets to have time and spend late nights with. The thing is, other fans see this and I think Maine sees this. I dont know if she cares but other fans do that’s why they bash him. It doesn’t make sense kasi. They don’t need to pacify me, I’m just a fan and like some here, my eyes have been open for a while now. I’m not being clingy or possessive but it just doesn’t make sense kasi.
This brings me to the latest KS episode. So he brings up Valentine’s day, hmm. He seems to suggest he has plans to celebrate the day with her. Am I right? I don’t have to overanalyze how M took this. She herself does not want to be hopia so she downplays it. I hope he didn’t just say that on tv just for kilig. Fans are funny and M is just a girl after all. Who doesn’t want a date on this special day? M has been so vocal about wanting some of his time that I hope he’s not just being such a tease. That would be cruel. But with his reputation nowadays, I have a feeling he has other commitments on the actual day. Maybe a guesting to a company party or a get together with other peeps. He will make it up for sure that Saturday on EB. Maybe SPS will guest Maine for more work related special V celebration, then they’ll go their own separate ways the rest of the day. If I’m wrong in all this, e di wow! Gusto ko yan. Just be forewarned and fair warned ADN para di kayo mahopia.

I’m basically not a fan of LT’s as there are too much real life responsibilities on my plate, I don’t have the luxury of time to indulge into fiction. Funny, my mom knows about LT’s more than I do 😀 but when Aldub came, by virtue of its rawness, spontaneity (and hopefully authenticity), it caught my attention.
Watching replays of the episodes during my free time allowed me to keenly watch the details of their facial expressions, gestures, etc. towards each other. Before long, I already observed that RFJr wasn’t sincerely into Maine but just plain bread-and-butter stuff, leading me to a null hypothesis early on: “There is no real ‘special’ relationship between RFJr & Maine.” Just like the general attitude towards any null hypothesis which is to try to nullify or disprove it, I was also hoping that my assumption will be proven wrong, i.e. how I wished it’s gonna be REAL, not just reel between them. But, to my dismay, what is gradually unfolding apparently tries to prove my null hypothesis right.
Since it’s painful for me to see Maine unreciprocated (as a female myself, I can’t help but empathise with her) and since the element of sincerity/authenticity (from RFJr) is non-existent (which, in the first place, that element was supposed to be the very reason why Aldub was the only LT I watched), I find Aldub now just like any other fictitious LT’s around so I stopped watching it. But for those who still enjoy it as it is now, you may keep watching especially if it helps you during times of homesickness, depression and boredom. Aldub/KS has been therapeutic to many and for this it deserves great commendation.
Nobody else knows more accurately about RFJr’s real life/personal circumstances and needs than he himself. Who knows, he may have valid reasons why he avoids falling for Maine. Just let these two learn and grow from their choices and the consequences as they trudge along their respective journey.
As for me, there are more important issues in real life that truly matter and are truly worth these gifts of time, emotions, talents and energy God endows us. Be blessed everyone. Peace out 🙂

I know we all mean well and we’d like a happily ever after for the lovebirds. But let us leave them be. I believe that what you see in KS is the real thing. This is the only time at this point of their hectic sched to express their affection and to be happily in love with each other. The Dabarkads know that they are seriously growing in love. Let us be assured that all the advice and love they need are given to those closest to them– their families and the Dabarkads. So let us enjoy the KS like any good movie. Let us not put pressure on them to say or do what all of us expect them to do as an item. They still have to mature on their own, pursuing their dreams and developing their own personalities , each one supporting each other and growing deeper in love. Responsibilities and commitments career wise will make them realize their priorities for themselves and for their families and how these would all make them more committed to each other. And in 2-5 years time, they can decide if a commitment of love and fidelity to one another would lead to the altar. Then the process of loving and commitment with one another goes on.

Wow. Reading the comments here these past few days has left me overwhelmed. I’m blown-away as i realize that I share the same sentiments as most of you. I gather that many here are first time LT followers like me, who developed an obsession with KS and A&M. So sincere and honest the sentiments here, It’s like reading your journals!
As for me, I’m finding this roller-coaster ride that is kalyeserye pretty exhausting already. Yes, I’m emotionally drained and I only have myself to blame. I’ve never watched any pinoy dramas much less follow a loveteam! But I was drawn to it after spending too many afternoons at my parents house. I witnessed the first split screen meeting of A&M and have been hooked since. Early on I came across the “Open Letter to RFJ” by the Marian devotees, read all about the coincidences in their lives– it seemed like the perfect “destiny love story of all time”! I pray for A&M as if they were my own kids, believing that we are all part of this universe conspiring to bring them together to their happily ever after. Yup, the hopeless romantic in me got sucked right in.
Ok, we all get it, right? We shouldn’t expect them to fulfill our fantasies about them, it’s their lives outside KS. And we, as avid fans, have our own take on how to appreciate Kalyeserye. So for me, my eyes are now wide open to the fact that this is all “Aktingan” after all. Sure, they are very good friends and who knows it might still lead to their “Forever”. But this in not what I signed up for. (As in, literally signed up with my cable provider, Pinoy TV for $$ every month! haha)
I will still probably watch replays online after dropping PinoyTV, but I will no longer let KS consume my life. Again, it’s my mistake that I viewed this as a semi-reality show love story/serye. As I’ve said, I’ve never followed any LT before as I find them too contrived. So now that they’re clearly delineating what’s Reel and Real, I’m sorry… I just KENNAATT anymore.
To @Tinkerbelle @potpourri I agree with you both!

After reading all these concerns and comments about M being left out by RJ and with the hope that she gets someone deserving, I am actually more concerned about RJ because I see M as a woman who just discovered her confidence and independence na may kulo sa loob. Seeing his gestures na halos ayaw niyang bitawan si M like he couldn’t get his hands off her eh, sino ba ang mukhang takot mawalan? M definitely does not look clingy but rather affectionate.
I agree with @jstnbl that M does not need a pity party nor is there a need to bash RJ. We have to consider that he is having his house built and financially it is like spending money like water thus the need to keep on earning (siyempre he won’t open that subject) but I commend him for doing charity work as well. Despite enjoying the admiration of screaming fans he also shoulders familial obligations while M looks like she can retire tomorrow without any problems. In fact, her latest tweet about being on the beach sounds like a cry for privacy (she had a similar one about NY remember?) which makes me think that maybe she feels like it is worth giving a million just to be alone, as opposed to earning it.
I likewise echo the sentiments of those who consider that they both have strengths and weaknesses hence will survive with or without one another.

I truly believe he has not done it yet in private or in public thus the nagging question. Perfect times would have been after TP, the movie premier, after the holidays or his bday. Imposing ba?

Please note that what I am about to state are MY thoughts not necessarily the reality of M and RJ. I suddenly remembered a cryptic blog at the start of AlDub of how A is protecting a girl and if that girl knew how much A esteems her to provide such protection she will be touched and she will cry. At first most people’s impression is that that girl is M. With what is happening right now could it be somebody else? I do not believe that the girl is the singer. I am more inclined to believe she is non-showbiz. The new house, the new SUV for his ‘pemily’, his motivation to earn, earn, earn considering that his sister graduated already and Daddy Bae is actually a project manager. DB’s income is enough to support their family. In fact someone who could send his son to La Salle is not dirt poor. Their clan is actually upper middle class. So why does RJ has to work so hard the way he does as if may darating na taggutom?

Allow me to speculate. I think the younger generation nowadays prefer to casually spend time together without the need for “formal” dates. I noticed that in my nephews and my son, who are all in college… They hang out in between classes, meals, during projects, the occasional hatid-sundo, and with mutual friends. They text, call, and exchange messages when they’re not together, late into the night, and first thing morning. And then from there, if the girl they fancy feels the same way about them, they have a conversation about it. If there’s mutual liking, well, they’ll agree if they’re an item. 🙂 And, that’s it! My son said it if it turns out that they’re both not that into each other, they could still remain barkada since they have to see each other anyway. The “planned” dates happen when they’re already a couple and celebrating something special.
Alden and Maine spend more time with each other than they do with anyone else. They see and work with each other every day. They’re the hottest love team right now and everything they do, all their projects outside EB almost always involve the other. All these time together is either drawing them closer to each other, making them fall deeper in love… or deeper into friendship. 😀

Not we’re getting there…because if he does say that then he will be a liar. outside work they don’t bond dahil if he’s committed to someone then he will hurt both of them Maine and the “girl”, takot sya sa karma at sa Diyos. The wrath of God can make all things turn around you can lose all in a blink of an eye. Kaya let it be just a tandem. Walang forever para sa kanilang dalawa. Let him be himself. I know Maine knows the real score. She might have something for him but it’s only admiration. I think because RJ is a good man na orient na Nya si Maine sa ano ang totoo. He has been honest to her from the start. Kaya lagi Nya piñagtatangol si RJ sa mga bashers because she considers him a true friend. Alam din Siguro ng mga close na aldenatics ang real score kaya Hindi sila fans ni Maine because me third party involved na mas close sila dahil yun ang love ng idol nila. Thankful Lang sila Kay Maine dahil sa tandem Nila na nagpasikat sa idol Nila ng todo todo. I will still watch KS, I will still buy the magazines, I will still visit this blog but never will I buy ang pa cute ni Alden Kay Maine on screen outside KS like yung pa cute Nya sa hotline. It gives me bad taste in my mouth dahil Tupperware na ang dating sa skin ng pag papa cute Nya. Dun na Lang sa KS sya mag pa cute like watching a regular soap opera that brings kilig but not hope for the real thing any more. Kennatt talaga….

I laughed when I read your comment. haha. Sorry.
I just never thought na may mga tao pa palang nagdudwell sa issue na ito.
Hindi pa pala tapos ang buntis eklavu na ito.
My take on this, I will not assume anything about all this buntis shiz because walang proof. Walang babaeng lumabas, walang whatever na sumulpot. So, I’m thinking this is one of those issues na laging nababato sa mga LALAKING single na may ka love team.
I’m thinking maybe part of the demolition job na ginagawa ng MEGA haters and bashers and competitors.
Showbiz is a wild world. There are things na binabato sa kanila kahit hindi totoo all because they are up there.
And as a fan..hanggang tingin lang ang kaya nating gawin. Hanggang tingin at wala tayong alam sa mga ganap off cam, unless you are close to them.
I love both Alden and Maine and to be honest with you, it sucks that there are fans out there who are easily swayed when they hear a rumor about Alden and/or Maine. Medyo bias ako kasi I easily believe the positive ones and give them the benefit of the doubt when there are negative things thrown at them..but I guess that’s normal kasi fan ako nung dalawa eh. It’s crazy to be a fan. 😀 My gosh.
I just think that it’s really harsh to insinuate dahil sa isang issue na walang proof, na walang ebidensya.
“Kaya let it be just a tandem. Walang forever para sa kanilang dalawa” – I think..no one will know kung may forever o wala ang dalawang ito. 🙂 unless Diyos ka.

Tungkol ba ito sa blog entry ni Maine?
copy paste ko na lang dito yung thoughts na sinulat ko sa group namin.
Lagi akong naniniwala sa mga blog posts ni Meng at nagrireact ako base sa mga sinusulat niya. And same pa rin naman ngayon. Di naman ibig sabihin na filtered eh hindi na totoo. So, I believe her na wala siyang date sa Valentines day, na kadate niya ang bed niya kasi Sunday yun, or whatever..okay lang.
Kasi hindi naman ibig sabihin na wala siyang ka date sa Valentine’s day eh wala nang magyayaya sa kanya the day after or before 14.
Kung wala silang date sa Valentine’s day..eh di wow. Pero hindi naman niya sinabing wala siyang kaDate buong taon. It’s just one day. Pwedeng mag date before 14 or after 14..whatever suits their taste. 😉
Cheer up. 🙂

I’m sure you know that whatever KS Alden says during KS should be taken with a grain of salt because they’re both portraying a different persona during KS. They’re working. I don’t why everything they say on KS are interpreted as 100% related to their REAL LIFE. Reel and/or REAL remember?
And I don’t know what Maine thinks really because she didn’t say on National TV na umaaasa siyang magdidate sila ni Alden sa 14.
How did that become unfair? KS Alden was saying things to Maine/Yaya Dub on KS. If he wants to date Nicomaine, I know he’s man enough to call her offcam and ask her out.

Oh my gosh, trust me..I have become super maduda sa lahat ng scoops and interviews nila.
Kasi I’m torn between “If I don’t believe Alden and think na maybe showbiz ang answer niya, it would mean na he’s lying. And I don’t take him for liar.” “If I believe him, it’s heartbreaking.” LOL. Jeez. hirap maging fan pala.
So I have decided to just believe whatever he says but still keep the hope na BAKA..maging sila. Na baka may gusto siya kay Maine. Na baka he wants to give this a chance. Sana maging sila.
After all, hindi rin naman ako isa dun sa mga naniniwalang SILA NA. I’m thinking that maybe they’re getting to know each other. Enjoying each other’s company. Slowly but surely. And enjoying their success together. Maybe they’re friends, mutual na gusto ang isa’t isa or whatever pero gustong focus muna sa trabaho..or maybe TORPE ang baliw na alden. :3

I can’t even describe my exact emotions at this point. To give a background, I don’t really watch EB. My Mom, when she would visit me here in Chicago always did. She hated brand X. She passed away a couple of months before Aldub. I am an only child so I was really devastated. Everyday I would cry and was just in deep sorrow. One day i was crying so much I thought I would have a heart attack. Sabi ko it has to stop..I have to be able to cope..for my wife and Son. So I prayed..asked my Mom to guide me. That night I went home switched the channel to GMA (EB is aired here three times a day) saw Maine dancing nonstop to the tune of fantastic baby. As to why I got hooked? I have no idea. But I found myself slowly recovering and happy once again. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko my Mom led me to KS kasi ito lang ang makakatulong sa kin that time. Weird di ba? I fought for this two so hard. Walang pwedeng magsalita ng masama. I have a relative who told me that her co worker’s niece is or was A’s girlfriend hindi ako naniwala. She could be just another fangirl like the one in Japan.

Ipagpaumanhin na po ninyo ..this is my first time to comment on Vilo’s blog. My POV on A&M – I think theirs is still “IN PROGESS”. Both of them are honest naman as to the real status of their relationship. Nothing romantic at this stage but they are not closing their door. Consistent sila sa sagot nila. The only question is if their special friendship ( I will claim this at this stage dahil it requires a degree of closeness for them to execute yun mga roles nila sa KS) will progress to “SILA NA” stage. I tried convincing myself that in due time magiging SILA din but there is this devil in my mind telling me na it will not happen.
Pero unlike some of you, I think NDM is the one with reservation. She is a smart girl and she guarding her card close to her heart. She already put a line as to what is reel and real based on her interview with Ricky lo and cosmo. And I admire her for being upfront and hindi pa-showbiz ang sagot. She is not pa-showbiz remember and I think she will not compromise her values and views.
The game changer will be if someone will seriously pursue NDM. Sabi nga madami ang interested pero hindi lang make porma because of RFJ. So i will wait and see what will happen.

Whenever they are teased about marriage both are jumpy so siguro a commitment may not be in their respective agendas yet.

In what aspect? Kinilig ako, I will admit it because I saw happiness in Maine throughout the whole show. She was genuinely ecstatic so why shouldn’t I be. We will see what Valentine’s day brings.

Nakakahiya, they were all asking about you, Bae. They saw you at the church with me but not at the reception.. So, I had to make excuses for you, Bae….. Bae, I feel this is inconsiderate of you….
