MOVIE MUSINGS

I'm quite proud of the movies I've seen this year- most are local! Huzzah ☺☺☺ And guess what, I liked most of them. I actually haven't seen one local movie this year which made me feel bad to have spent 200 of my hard-earned bukels (which I could've spent on half pound of Frankie's salted egg flavored chicken wings instead). This February, I was able to watch Sakaling Hindi Makarating and I'm Drunk I Love You.

Thoughts On Sakaling Hindi Makarating

To be honest, I've never related to anything about break ups because I've never gone through one. Blessing in disguise, if you ask me. Lol. What I liked about the movie was the breathtaking scenery of the different provinces in the country. My favorite was Batanes. Pero sabi ni ate wala daw magagawa doon. Ang ganda ng tubig pero hindi ka puede mag-swimming kasi baka pag-ahon mo, nasa Taiwan ka na. Haha.

For the nth time, I was able to guess the movie's ending. I don't know if others were able to guess the real deal regarding the post cards or I'm just getting so good at guessing movie endings.

I liked the quietness of the movie.
I liked the twist at the end which gave them both the closures they needed.
I just think it's foolish to use up your life's savings to look for something you're not even sure what (or who) it is you're looking for. Then again, it's just a movie. Or maybe people nursing broken hearts really do these things. I have no idea.

Thoughts On I'm Drunk, I Love You

Before AC and I watched, I asked my niece who already saw the movie if it was any good. Sabi niya, 'okay lang.' So again, didn't really expect anything. I'm in it for the eye candy (Read: Paulo Avelino). Harharhar!

We were 25 minutes late (parang Michael Learns to Rock na kanta yan ah) but I think we didn't miss out on anything important scene or detail about their relationship. I was just thinking if Carson (Maja's character) purposely delayed her graduation just to be near Dio (Paulo Avelino). You know, things we do for, ahem, love. 

If I wasn't able to relate to SHM, dito relate na relate ako. And I don't even drink. It's all about that unrequited love shizz, yo! 

This movie, saksak puso levels. Maybe it is more agonizing liking your close friend as compared to liking someone from afar. Liking someone from afar, medyo you know where you stand- waley sa buhay niya, haha. Whereas if you're BFFs, merong slight na 'what if' thoughts nagging you inside your head. Reminds me so much of my favorite MTV shows, Friendzoned. You have to choose just one. Cos if you confess and the feeling ain't mutual, there is no turning back. You'll never go back to how it used to be. 

I liked Carson, Maja's character (and usually I do not like Maja nor any of her characters) because she is so relatable and she played the role so well. Maybe AC's right, they're giving Maja too mature roles. They should give her fun, youthful projects. Mas bet ko siya sa ganun.

I liked Paulo Avelino in the movie, of course. And for once, he wasn't the kontrabida with mental health issues. Haha. 

I liked how this movie is very close to home, how everyone (I guess) has experienced liking someone who just never saw us the same way. And also liking someone for far too long, for holding out that long for hopes that they might eventually know your worth. According nga sa SHM, ano naman ang 11 (o seven, in reference to this movie) years compared to the rest of your life. Patient ka lang talaga.

I liked the music. Very in keeping with the theme of the movie. 

Stab me in the heart with a rusty spoon, why don't you. A lot of memories just came back but boy oh boy, I'm just glad that I'm all over pining. Manhid nako, haha. But seriously, I don't have crushes or don't get infatuated over someone anymore. I just get kilig over kdramas or go into ahjumma-mode over Korean boys with abs. LOL. Walang basagan ng trip. 

Soooo I just liked the movie, no. That ending was perfect. I want to watch it all over again. Yes, that is the masochist in me. Nyehehe.
