More Than Blue

More Than Blue

(Daughter's POV #4)

If there is anything I love about Filipino films, it’s how dramatic and cringy they could be yet it still gives you the feels. I’m well aware that More Than Blue was a remake but I’ll refuse to acknowledge that for now since I haven’t watched the original one yet. For the Filipino remake, I will admit that they did a great job in casting JC Santos. He is a very phenomenal actor and his crafts are one of the best I’ve seen. Films with him are just so good. So I really was looking forward to watching More Than Blue. 


A screenshot from the trailer 


I watched More Than Blue with a friend of mine. It was clear to me that she really enjoyed watching the movie. Only with a few complaints that the movie never stated the time frame we are in. Just a while ago they were in high school and then cut-! they’re working already. I had the same sentiments since I got confused too but it wasn’t really that hard to catch up with what the film is trying to convey a few moments after I got the hang of it. 


Just as what the reviews said online, the movie was a tear-jerker. Good story, good plot twist. Just what most Filipinos loved. Additional 10 points for making most of us tear up or just full-on sob. The humor, and drama, it was great. JC and Yassi did so well in portraying their characters. But, I do like to share what I feel with the second lead- John Luis.


 John Luis is a dentist, from what was shown in the movie. He loves it too. Loves so good. He’s just what any woman would have wanted to marry. But his first woman cheated on him- they were engaged too. But the woman just straight up blamed it on JC Santos (who caught her cheating) that he ruined her life. She has a point but she was still in the wrong. She even reasoned that John didn’t have time for her- but it’s not enough reason to cheat. He was only working for their future which is reasonable. They did break off the engagement, eventually. But he also got tangled up with Sue Ann aka Cream, the lead. 


They also loved each other. Eventually got engaged. He was so good with her too. And yet, after they got married, Cream just left him to take care of Charles Keith/K (JC Santos’ character). I do understand why she has to take care of him and spend his remaining time together. But, she married him. Taking care of K was not enough reason to leave your husband. She knew his story, she knew about how John’s ex-fiance cheated on him but this is what happens. Why would you even marry someone you’re not sure of? It was unfair to John Luis. But he still continued to look after her. But maybe, for now, he needs to take a time off with love and focus on himself. I do hope that if there is a universe that which More Than Blue was real, he’ll receive the love he deserves. 


Anyway , that was my point of view about the movie. Loving one's self will never get you wrong. You might be struggling today but surely that struggle might be your wisdom tomorrow.


It's time for a drink now. I'll try a choco drink this time which my mom brought me.

I just don't know the name of this drink though my mom bought it at the Korean store

Kaulayaw

          Kaulayaw  is a Tagalog word for "close companion". And, as a coffee drinker, coffee is always my  "kaulayaw"  when doing something or just thinking of anything.      But do you know that there is actually a coffee shop named  "Kaulayaw Cafe"?  I only have known it through my sister. It is shown on her vlog/youtube channel. You can watch it here :      The Kaulayaw Cafe is located along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo City.   It has a very nice interior resonant with the kind of cafes or restaurants you can find in Tagaytay or in Baguio. The third floor has an open-air dining area where guests could feel the unruffled waft and they could also immerse in the green scenery of Rizal Province as well as the skyline of Metro Manila.      The Cafe serves coffee made of coffee beans from Mountain Province such as in Sagada and Benguet and they also have their own blend the “ Kaulayaw ”. Coffee pouches and other coffee accessories are also available f

Isang Pangarap

(Spoken Poetry) Nangarap ako ng isang masayang Pamilya. Happy Family kung kami ay tawagin.  Sinikap ko na maging maayos. Ngunit sabi nga nila kung hindi ukol hindi bubukol.  Kung para sayo, para sayo, anuman ang mangyari. Maraming naganap. Ilang taon din naman ang naging pagsasama. Kadalasan mga araw naging maligaya dahil kasama sya. Buo ang pamilya. Pero kahit ano pa ang gawin mo kung magluluko, magluluko, kung mang iiwan iiwanan ka talaga.  Nagmakaawa ka na, nagpakababa pa, sa huli ikaw pa nga ang may sala. Masyadong masakit hanggang ngayon ramdam na ramdam pa.  Panahon na ang lumipas, mahaba na pala.  Pero damang dama dahil sobrang lalim pala. Andun ang takot hindi lang para sa sarili pero para rin na rin sa anak Sa tuwina ang saya parang pilit na lang.  Nakikita mo kasi sa mga mata ng anak mo ang lungkot.  Nararamdaman mo ang kanyang lumbay.  Nasasaktan ka kasi pakiramdam mo parang wala na syang pangarap.  Takot na takot ka  na ang tanging nagagawa mo na lang ay umiyak.  Bakit nga

MALIBU RISING

  Malibu Rising. (Made my blood pressure rise too, I think.) (Daughter's POV #5) For my first July read, of course, it was another work from Taylor Jenkins-Reid. I am just so obsessed with how she writes and how I get immersed with it.  And, Malibu Rising did not disappoint me. This book might just be my favorite novel written by TJR. The drama, the love, revelations, and confessions just makes this book such a masterpiece. With each page I read, I actually find myself daydreaming as if I am also part of the story. How I feel and connect with each character- especially Nina. How this book tackled her relationship with her father was just heartbreaking. All her life her father was absent, and then he showed up out of nowhere, earned her trust and love, left again for another woman, then showed up years later because he’s already old, lonely, and needs his “family” and their “forgiveness.” The anger and sadness just mixed and my emotions were literally all over the place. How proud I
