To The Couple Who Makes Me Fall In Love Everyday

THANK YOU.

Thank you for making me smile and giving me a good laugh every day. From knock-knock jokes to pick-up lines to snap updates to inside jokes that both of you can only understand- those cute little banters that makes my heart happy.

Thank you for making me giddy all the time. Thank you for being my daily dose of good and kilig vibes every single time. Those simple touches, deep and long stares, subtle hugs, stolen kisses, they can make me swoon in just a snap of a finger.

Thank you for setting a good example to all your supporters. For reminding us not to bash someone, to forgive the haters even if they are not. Thank you for loving ADN wholeheartedly.

Thank you for your humility and kindness. For always mingling with your supporters and giving us time if you get the chance. For sharing with us some sweet moments together off-cam.

Thank you for appreciating everyone in this fandom. All the effort just to show how much we love you both. All the gifts given to you no matter how simple they are. All the edited fan-arts dedicated and inspired because of you two.

Thank you for staying strong, stronger even. With all the nasty rumors, hearsays, bashings, thank you for not giving up. Thank you for holding on to ALDUB Nation.

Thank you for being the fandom’s anchor. Every time the sails are rough, we just look back on why fate brought us on this ship, and that is because of you, Maine and Alden, and our love for you that are so strong to handle.

Thank you for making me hope that true love really exists.

Thank you for making me believe that fate works in the most magical and mysterious ways.

Thank you for the sweet chaos you brought to my life.

Thank you for making me fall in love over and over again, Nicomaine Mendoza and Richard Faulkerson Jr. I am grateful.

P.S. I can’t believe that I will love you both this much. Whatever your status right now, my heart is beyond happy knowing that you are each other’s strength now. Through ups and downs, right? Wherever this journey brings you, know that I will always be here, cheering for your success, beaming with pride for your triumphs.

P.S.S. I’m praying for your happily ever after. May you find the true home in each other’s arms. May you find the warmth in each other’s embrace. I’m praying for your never-ending happiness.

P.S.S.S Stay crazy and silly weirdos I adored and loved. I love you to the moon and back, Meng and Tisoy. 😘

Sunday Currently | 09

This is such a fun-filled Sunday. Had a lil chit-chat with my bestfriend and sobrang epic lang ng mga hanash today. Sobrang epic lang pag kaming dalawa ang magkasama. Anyways, here’s my entry for Sunday Currently. It’s been a while though.

CURRENTLY

READING
All the tweets from the VP debate. Talagang everyone is participating in this #PilipinasDebates2016. The power of social media. So happy that there is something like this, para mas makilala pa ng mga tao kung sino ba talaga ang karapat-dapat para sa posisyon sa gobyerno. Wag tayong sumabay sa kung ano ang uso, dun tayo sa totoo.

WRITING
Sunday Currently 09. 😊

LISTENING
To Jessica Soho, technically our TV is on while I’m writing this blog post so since di naman ako nanonood, pinapakinggan ko na lang ang mga featured stories sa KMJS.

THINKING
Ano ba magandang negosyo? Yung maliit lang muna. My bestfriend and I keep thinking on what kind of business should we put up and until now, wala pa din kami maisip. Of course, we have to consider lot of things; capital, market, accessibility, visibility. But we’re damn serious in putting up one.

SMELLING
The coffee’s aroma I’m sipping right now. Hindi makokompleto ang araw ko kung hindi ako makakatikim ng kape. Bisyo ko na to.

WISHING
To finally meet Alden and Maine. PLEASE. Since AlDub started, I already included this on my bucketlist. Yung makita sina Maine at Alden up close, makapagpa-picture and all. Makapag-fangirl ng sagad!

HOPING
To finally enroll this year for masteral’s degree. Sobrang dapat mapush ko na talaga to this 2016.

WEARING
The ordinary; old shirt and pajamas.

LOVING
My new schedule. 11 working hours for four days and then three rest days. Fri-Sat-Sun. S-A-R-A-P!!!

WANTING
New shoes. Probably new converse shoes or running shoes. But I’m considering more to have running shoes instead coz I want to start a healthy lifestyle. Running shoes for me to be fit, for jogging and exercising. (Chos!)

NEEDING
Nicholas Sparks’ new book ‘See Me’. Grabe hindi sya available sa Batangas at sobrang nasa-sad ako. Sana naman magkaroon na sa bookstore dito.

FEELING
Happy and blessed.

That’s it for me today. How about you guys, how’s your Sunday going?

How’s Life Entry Vol.03

It’s been a month since my last blog post and since 2015 is about to end here is my How’s Life Entry Vol.03. Let me take a look how’s my life been this year.

1. Rate your Life:
4/5 stars

2. Reason for Rating:
Well I can say that this year has been awesome, however I just rate 4 out of 5 since there are still some flaws and down moments. Personally I enjoyed 2015 so well, I have a fine job, good friends, I got time to have fun and relax although when it comes to my family, there are some not so happy instances (but let me keep mum about it). So there. 🙂

3. Happy memories from the past days:
There’s been a lot of happy memories for this year 2015. I can say that this year is about having fun and enjoying life to the fullest. This is the year I achieved my first trekking ever in Gulugod Baboy, enjoyed one of the beaches in Quezon and attended the famous Pahiyas festival in Lucban. I’ve been to Kamay ni Hesus as well this year. One of the unforgettable moments also for this year is that me and my girl squad checked in a hotel room just to watched Ang Tamang Panhon. Hihi And of course, how I can forget the highlight of my life for this year, I just watched the concert of my favorite band ever, Maroon 5!! Such an amazing night! Really, dreams do come true! And this is also the first time I got to travel with my soul sisters. We had our great North escapade! Awesome, awesome year!

4. Things you’ve Learned over the past days:
Words do matter. Alam mo yun, kung may gusto ka, be it long term goals, life long dreams, sulat mo lang and eventually it will come true! Yun ang opinyon ko. :))) And if you think you can, you can! Always have the courage to begin and moved on. Always have a happy heart. Believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you needed.

5. Things/People you’re starting to like:
This year I did enjoy every Saturday shift, sobrang petiks lang. I enjoy snapchatting. 🙂 And this year, Alden and Maine really took my heart away. I have already known Alden as one of the GMA artist, yun lang, not until ALDUB came along. When ALDUB was born, nagkaroon ako ng pakialam kay Alden, I stalked his twitter and Instagram accounts. LOL That goes with Maine as well, I searched every single detail for this girl, her social media accounts, even her blog, and she writes so damn well. So this year, sila ang minahal ko ng bongga.

6. Quote You Live By:
“Life is beautiful, you just have to know where to look.”

7. Achievements & Compliments You Have Received:
Accomplishments and achievements…. Hmmm let me see.. I do have a journal and I remembered that at the back of it I listed 100 things to do, and the last time I checked, I achieved some of those. Mga short term goals pa lang naman ang may checkmark pero at least diba? Little by little, maachieve ko din yun lahat. Keep the faith. Major accomplishment for this year is being the top associate in our line of business for the month of August.. I’m so happy!

8. Current Favorite Song:
Wipe Your Eyes by Maroon 5 and Sayo by Silent Sanctuary.

9. What’s taking your time nowadays:
As usual, reading books, reading random blogs, watching kalyeserye, browsing the net.

10. Plans for the next days:
This coming 2016, I have a lot of plans at sana naman magawa ko silang lahat. I’m planning to take short courses in line to my field of specialization. I want to start a healthy living as much as I can, yes to exercise and no to fast-food chains. Please!!! I’m also planning to push the idea of starting a small business together with my best friend. Hoping for all these things to happen,

If years 2015 is all about concert and hang outs, I’m making sure that this 2016 it will be more productive. This 2016,, it will be better version of me, more responsible one especially in handling money. 2016 will be a blast!

AlDub to MaiDen: Totohanan na to, uyyyyy!

Last Saturday, naganap ang first date ni Alden at Yaya Dub at bilang natupad nila ang mga kondisyones ni Lola Nidora, nag announce si Lola nung Thursday ng “Sige na, binubuksan ko na ang pinto ng mansyon namin sayo Alden, pwede ka ng umakyat ng ligaw kay Yaya.” Upon hearing those, I was like “O.M.G!!!” I was so freakin’ excited, who wouldn’t, this time, walang plywood, walang blindfold, walang alarm, walang long table, walang Rogelios at one foot lang ang distance!!! Pero we all know Lola Nidora, lagi syang may bilin, NO TOUCH!

At eto na nga!!! National Pabebe Wave Day! Mas excited pa ata ako kesa kina Alden at Maine. Nakakatuwa how whole Dabarkads support Alden and Maine. It’s like si Alden ay nakakabatang kapatid or pamangkin sa broadway na binibigyan ng mga bilin, ng pabaon and si Maine ay apo ng mga protective at istriktang lola sa barangay. Hihi

Bukod sa no touch at chicharon na bilin ni lola, isa sa mga lambing nya kay Alden ay kakanta sya ng God Gave Me You ng live. Yes, ginawa nya at sobrang tinunaw nya lang naman ang puso ko. Hindi ko napigilan ang emosyon ko nung napaiyak si Alden habang kinakanta nya ang God Gave Me You! Maging si Lola Nidora, napaiyak nya. Di ko maexplain ang nararamdam ko, lalo na nung sinabi nyang, “Lagi po akong nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat, pero ngayon ang kantang ito ay inaalay ko po kay Meng.” And I love him even more for that.

At eto na nga palapit na ng palapit si Alden sa mansyon. Nung nakarating sya at sinalubong sya ni Riri (kilala mo dapat kung sino yan) , hinarap ni Tidora at Tinidora, winelcome sya ni Lola Nidora, hero comes Divina or should I say Maine? Hihi One foot distance for the win!! Yung sobramg lapit na sa isa’t isa!! Hahaha Sa dami ng ganap kanina, subuan pa more, punasan ng pawis pa more, flying kiss pa more, picture pa more, hindi ko na alam kung ano ang babaligtarin ko sa bahay namin sa sobrang kilig. Bukod ang hampas ko sa upuan, sa kapatid ko, sa unan, with matching tili! Hahaha Hindi ko alam kung uupo ba ko o tatayo. Yung wala kang mapagsidlan ng kilig at ligaya mo eh!

Yung no touch ni Lola, medyo nakalimutan kasi nabulunan si Yaya eh. Holding hands pa more!!!

At bilang nagparinig na si lola na siesta na nya, kelangan ng magpaalam ni Alden. Bago sya umalis, may inabot na sulat sa kanya si Maine, and talagang mayayakap ko si Tidora nung sinabi nya na, “Ayyy, bakit totoong pangalan ang nakalagay? Richard oh!” Love you Tidora, pati din kay Tinidora sa pagtulak tulak kay Alden! Haha

Sa sobrang tuwa at kilig, nagsalita na si Yaya ng “This must be love!”

Opo, opo, tama po ang nabasa nyo, nakapagsalita na nga po si Yaya. Narinig na po natin ang tinig nya. Maghohost na rin kaya si Yaya? Hahaha abangan lamang po yan sa kalyeeeeeeeeserye! *Gasgas Abelgas voice here*

At syempre pinahanga at pinasaya na naman tayo ng nag-iisang Wally Bayola.

Sya si Rihanna, ang mayordoma sa mansyon na bestie ni Divina. Sobrang galing lang ng ginagawa nya, sa episode ngayon ng kalyeserye, sya ay naging si Rihanna at Lola Nidora. Define versatility now.

Today’s hashtag #AlDubEBforLove already reaches 24Million tweets and counting! Never underestimate the power of #ALDUBnation! NEVER!!

Legit!! Their first picture together! And magkakaron pa ng second, third, fourth at maraming marami pa!

And iniisip ko pa din ngayon kung ano ang laman ng sulat ni Maine kay Alden.

Tuloy ang forever!!!

P.S bakit nga ba “AlDub to MaiDen: Totohanan na to, uyyy” ang title ng blogpost ko na to? Kasi si Alden at Maine ang napanood ko kanina eh, not the fictional Alden’s character and not Yaya DUB. Haha Naniniwala ako sa forever nila Tisoy at Meng. Naniniwala ako na hindi malabo na maging sila talaga. Itanong mo pa yan sa naipawis ni Alden! Hahaha Naniniwala ako na espesyal na sila para sa isa’t isa. Naniniwala ako na they have each other’s back now. Naniniwala ako na they are really God’s gift for each other. Naniniwala ako sa forever nila. Umaasa ako sa forever nila. (sumipa na naman ang pagkahopeless romantic ko haha)

Happy National Pabebe Wave Day! Spread love, happiness and good vibes! We are one! 👋

Si Bae at si Yaya Dub | version 2.0

Because I’m way too happy on what had happened last Saturday, my second blog entry for AlDub or MaiDen came up. Until now, I can’t get over from kilig!!

I considered them as phenomenal loveteam, and I wanted to look back on where it started.

Eat Bulaga is indeed part of my childhood, bata pa lang ako, pinapanood na yan sa bahay, and now that I’m already 25, may EB pa din. And I remembered Joey de Leon once said, ‘hanggang may bata, may Eat Bulaga’ , and it just stuck on my head from then on. Ang dami na nilang segment na nagawa, this one segment Juan for All All for Juan is obviously reaching out to people, helping the less fortunate.

Since my work requires a night shift, medyo di na ko ganun nakakapanood ng EB and then there’s one time, my sister is telling me about certain Dr. Doraderm the Explorer and I was like sino yun? Sabi nya manood ka ng Eat Bulaga, so I did, aside from Sugod Bahay and Bayanihan, may dinagdag pala sila sa Juan for All All for Juan segment and that is Problemmmmmmmmm Solvinggggg!!!! Nagulat pa nga ako ng nakita ko si Alden as host ng EB at una kong reaksyon, ‘oh bakit naman andyan na din si Alden?’ (Hahaha)

So si Doctora pala ay si Wally, binibigyan nya ng gamot ang mga tao sa barangay para makatulong sa problema nila, and tawang tawa ko sa kanya. So simula nun, bilang natuwa ako kay Doctora DoraDerm at sa mga gamot nya, gigising ako sa tanghali para lang makanood, and eto nga may seminar si Doc sa Africa, so kami ng kapatid ko, brainstorming kami kung sino papalit, sabi ko si Wally din yan, iba lang character, and I was right! Lumitaw si Lola Nidora kasama ang sidekick nyang si Yaya Divina Ursula Bukbokova Smash in short DUBSmash, the snobbish yaya, kaya pala ganun ang name nya kasi puro dubsmash ang gagawin nya, bakit hindi eh dun sya sumikat sa internet.

As far as I remember bilang snobbish at masungit ang role ni Maine as Yaya, parang chinachallenge ni Joey si Jose kung kaya nilang pangitiin si Yaya DUB, unfortunately, di nila napangiti. Next day, dubsmash ng bongga si Yaya, nagfocus ang camera kay Alden na nanonood, and guess what, biglang nanlaki ang mata ni Yaya, naconcious at biglang napangiti. Sabayan pa ng panunukso ni Allan K. ng ‘uyyyy si yaya, nakoconcius kay Alden’, at si Joey, ‘ngayon lang ngumiti yan’ and seriously I find it cute. Yung feeling na nakita at napansin ka ng crush mo! Idagdag pa si Jose at Paolo ng ‘baka marunong ding magdubsmash si Alden’, and Twerk it like Miley was played. Yaya waved to Alden, her pabebe wave, and then AlDub was born.

Thursday, weeksary daw ng AlDub, sinong makakalimot ng nagpadala si Alden thru riding in tandem ng bouquet at Hany sa barangay para kay yaya!

Bilang marami silang napasaya at napakilig, ayan na nga nagkaroon na ng storyline, nagkaroon ng kauna-unahang kalyeserye sa telebisyon.

And here’s Lola Nidora, ang pumipigil sa pagmamahalan ng AlDub na ayon sa kanya ay makakamit sa TAMANG PANAHON! Totoo naman, ang isang pagmamahal o ang isang pag-ibig pag hindi minadali at hinintay sa tamang panahon ay walang kasing tamis at mas papahalagahan ng dalawang nagmamahalan.

Ano ba ang meron sa AlDub, bakit ba ko kilig na kilig sa kanila, kasi siguro napakanatural ng feelings nila. Yung never pa silang nagkita, split screen lang lage, isa sa Broadway, isa sa barangay. LDR! Pero ramdam mo yung chemistry at yung connection nila. Kikiligin ka sa mga fan signs nila, sa mga ramdon songs na dinadubsmash nila, yung mga ngiti nilang totoo, yung mga kilig nila na di maitago! Hahaha

At dahil nga sa nagkaroon na ng storyline, dumating na din si Frankie Arinolie, ang bet ni Lola para kay Yaya. Sino ang di nalungkot nung magkikita na sana sila pero nahimatay si Maine? Sino ang di malulungkot nung akala natin mapipigilan ni Alden ang kasal ni Yaya at Frankie pero di nya nagawa dahil ng mga Rogelio Rogelio Rogelio. Na in the end umamin din naman si Lola na peke lang ang lahat at nagsorry pa sya kay Alden! I was like ano na ang magiging twist ulit bilang nagsorry na si Lola kay Alden? Okay na ba? Napaka unpredictable ng mangyayari!

At bilang may gustong patunayan si Lola Nidora, nagbigay sya ng hamon kay Alden. At dahil lumalaban ang pambansang bae para sa tamang panahon, nakadalawang puntos na sya. Sino ang di maeexcite nung tinakbo ni Alden simula Broadway hanggang EDSA? I think ang tanong ng lahat, makakaabot ba sya?? Sino ang di maeexcite nung nilangoy nya ang mga sili na tinapon ni Lola sa olympic size swimming pool? I think ang tanong ng lahat magawa kaya nya?

As day goes by, parang gusto ko ng isipin na nagiging totoo na lahat eh! Sino ang di kinilig nung sinulat ni Alden ang pangalan ni Maine sa halip na Yaya Dub?

Yung mga pabebe wave nila na nasundan na pabebe swear at yung recent na pabebe whispers. Hihi

Nagsilabasan din ang kapatid ni Lola Nidora, na sina Tidora at Tinidora at si Isadora na totoong nanay daw ni Yaya! (Whaaaaat)

What I like most sa EB eh nakikinig sila sa viewers! Merong isang episode na konti lang ang exposure ng AlDub bilang ang role ni Maine that time ay si Isadora. (you know who) Marami akong nabasa sa twitter na bitin daw, nakakaumay na kasi hanggang ngayon di pa din nagkikita ang AlDub. Nung sumunod na araw, binusog nila tayo ng kilig at saya. Nagkaroon pa nga ng LQ ang dalawa! Haha tuwang tuwa ako dun! And Joey de Leon gave hints and clues na pwedeng sa Sabado, yun na ang tamang panahon!

And then September 05, 2015 happened. Nangyari na ang inaasam asam nating maganap. Nagtagpo na nga ang mga mata nila! Omgggggg!!! Nagkita na sila!!!!!!

Sino ang hindi napatili? Sino ang hindi napatalon? Some were saying na hopia daw, nahhh, for me it’s not hopia! Kahit gaano pa kaikli yung ganap na yun, ramdam mo yung intensidad ng kilig, yung mixed emotions ni Maine, yung nerbyos ni Alden! Tumatagos sya dude!! When they’re running back and forth, I was like ‘Maine stay right there, pupunta dyan si Alden’ and when God Gave Me You was played, I just died!!!! Ghaaaaddd!!!

At syempre pa, andito si lola at ang kanyang mga words of wisdom. Hindi nya hinayaan na magkalapit yung dalawa! Grabe! That was so heart breaking, yung malapit nyo ng maabot ang isa’t isa pero biglang may pumagitan!

Right after EB, I opened my twitter and these make me kilig even moooooore!!

And my thought is ‘nahiya pang imention ang isa’t isa’. Hihi

They really took the whole nation by storm. In two months time, they already bagged an award. Thank you 5th Eduk Circle for recognizing AlDub or MaiDen as Most Popular Breakout Loveteam!

Haaay! Ang saya lang. Good vibes lang parati!

And sabi nga ni Allan K. , tinataga nya sa malaki nyang ilong na maging totohanan ito sa TAMANG PANAHON. In God’s perfect time.

Si Bae at Si Yaya Dub

Hmmm, pano ba? Hopeless romantic talaga ko so kahit na simpleng loveteam lang kinikilig na ko. Sobra kong nabaliw sa KathNiel. At ngayong meron AlDub ( Alden and Yaya Dub) doble ang pagkabaliw ko sa kanila! I’m going nuts with this AlDub pandemonium!

To those people who don’t have an idea who AlDub is, well sila lang naman ang main characters sa kalyeserye ng Eat Bulaga sa segment nilang Juan fo All, All for Juan. It all started with the pabebe wave when Alden watched Yaya Dub.. at hanggang sa nagkaron na ng kwento ang lahat.

I don’t know, pero talagang kilig na kilig ako pag nagpapabebe wave sila sa isa’t isa, pabebe swear at ang mga dubsmash nila ng love songs. Honestly, ngayon ko lang mas naappreaciate si Alden, sino ba ang hindi kikiligin sa bae ng bayan, his charming smile, may dimple pa, sabay dubsmash ng God Gave Me You *swoon*.

Ang hinihintay ko talaga ay dumating na yung tamang panahon para magkita sila.

Alam mo yun, dahil sobrang fan ka, minsan nakakafrustrate na na di pa din sila nagkikita, yung akala mo na yun na, bigla namang hinimatay si Yaya Dub. Saklap! Ayaw pa ng tadhana na magkita ang dalawa.

Another hopia, yung akala mo magkikita na ulit sila kasi parehas lang silang nasa Broadway bilang performance ni Yaya Dub, eh hindi pa rin talaga. Nag ala-Cinderella si Yaya. Sabi nga ni Lola Nidora, SA TAMANG PANAHON!

Monthsary na nina AlDub, may challenge si Lola, dalhin ang kahoy kay Rogelio from Broadway to EDSA within 20 mins?! Ang reaction ko, aabot ba si Alden?! Pero di nagpatalo si bae, takbo lang at in 17mins nakarating sya sa EDSA! God job!!

Alam mo yun, yung mga simpleng ganun, they got me! Aabang ka na ulit kung ano ang susunid na hamon ni Lola. Aabang ka na ulit kung magagawa ba ulit ni Alden para kay Yaya. Aabang ka na ulit kung kelan makukuha ang diary at kung ano ba talaga ang nasa diary. Aabang ka na ulit kung kelan ba talaga ang TAMANG PANAHON.

Minsan nga naiisip ko, nadedevelop na kaya sila sa isa’t isa kahit di pa sila nagkikita? Pano kaya pag nagkita na sila, nagkaharap na sila, di kaya sila magkahiyaan, di kaya sila maakwardan? Hahaha

After nung challenge, may nag tweet!

Sabi ko sa sarili ko, si Maine na to eh, di na to si Yaya! Hahahhah

Haaay! Alam ko naman na at this point reel eh, pero who knows, malay natin, bigla na lang sila magkaseryosohan. Biglang totohanan na pala! Sana. Sana. Wala namang masama, single sila parehas. Bagay naman sila. May chemistry.

Pero pag mapapanood mo yung dalawa as days goes by, iba na yung smile at kilig nila eh. Iba na yung sparks. Hahaha parang Alden at Maine na! Hahaha

At eto lang, binuo ulit nila ang Sunday ko!

Yaya Dub’s promise me now.

And then, Alden answered, This I promise you!!

Kyaaaaahhhh!!! Kilig overload! Ang saya lang.

Basta, whatever happens, happens.

We all know love really works amazingly. Love happens unexpectedly. Love has it’s own magic. So I will still believe that AlDub can be REAL. It can be Alden and Maine.
