So after all the rushing about this morning, things settled down to a manageable pace. Finished catching up with online life, and even found time to tweak settings for various accounts. I think it’s safe to say that I’m maximizing the use of what I’ve got, and that makes me happy.

All the laundry is off the line and stashed away. *bounce* A dividend check came in, and not a moment too soon, with new bills to pay before too long. Tweaked my computer corner setup, and things feel free and easy once again, instead of weighted down. Took the bedroom curtains down, and re-arranged a couple of litter pans, in the hope that certain cats will get the hint and use them. *loving exasperated sigh*

Am watching that “Close to You” movie starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sam Milby. Bea Alonzo is such a twit at this point, and there is this scene where John is sitting across the aisle from Sam, and damn if I didn’t start slashing the characters based on the look John was giving Sam…ahahahaha.

Now I want to know who gets the happy ending, dammit. So this blog entry will descend into a live blog of the movie, starting…now.

OMG, look at John getting all creepy, taking pictures of sleeping Bea…shades of Edward Cullen. Sans sparkles, thank heavens – he’s doing a good job with the “torpe” role, though.
Scene of unadulterated mush between Sam and Bea. I want to push them into the ocean.
Here’s John with a chance to tell that dimwit how he feels, and he’s gonna…not tell her. OK, let me go find something to bash his head in. On the other hand, the movie isn’t finished yet.
Yay! Here’s Nova Villa dispensing advice to the torpe. This should be good.
Haaay naku, pwede ba talaga sakalin itong bruhildang ito…! No, really, only Tagalog can truly express the violence of my feelings at this point.
Huh? Did I just hear the voice of the girl that Sam is supposed to be on the phone with? That’s some loud phone volume we got there…*chortle*
Yehey, malagkit na naman ang tingin nina Sam and Bea!
John is absolutely pathetic as the third wheel.
*meep* John and Sam strip-shirt face-off? *covers eyes*
Wow, Sam’s going to take Bea to meet his mama – in Bohol, no less. She’s chased him from Manila to Davao to Negros as it is.
Naku naman hija, di mo alam kung kailan ka pina-dedma ka ng torpe? Torpeng umiiyak, pa.
Ay talagang gaga itong babae na to! Tirisin ko nga siya sa singit, nakakagigil!
You know, I really want to ride that Negros to Bohol ferry now…
O, at bakit tingin-tingin ka kay John, akala ko si Sam ang sagot ng lahat ng dasal mo, ayun, pinakilala ka na nga sa mama niya, no!
Off-tangent: wondering if there is a Tagalog equivalent to ONTD GQMF macro-speak.
Ahahaha…John is stuck with all the snoring posse of Sam, poor baby!
Nova Villa calls John to tell him that as long as the pair isn’t married, not to give up…
Sinulog footage for the win!
Oh, goodness, picking the monastery flowers for your girlfriend…well, I suppose if you get married there, the monks will forgive you.
OK, here’s where we get the romantic scenic tour of the island. I want to go see the Chocolate Hills now.
TARSIERS!
The river cruise. Yup, must save up money now to go.
Hm. Need to go washroom and turn out front porch lights during next commercial break.
OH SWEET LORD OF MERCY, HUBBY JUST CAME UP BEHIND ME TO SAY SOMETHING AND I NEARLY DIED OF SHOCK.
Oh dear, more tears – a while back it was Bea, now it’s John going at it full throttle.
Sam sits down with Bea’s family – awkward, the family has nothing to say to the newcomer.
Naku, nakasalang sa lahat ng retrato si John, paano naman yun si Sam?
Wait…what? Bring her to Singapore?
Whee! Deus ex machina meeting of the two beloveds who have been dancing around through the whole movie! *cheers for Nova Villa*
Oh dear, driving while having deep emotional discussion? Nothing good can come of this.
Thank you, direk, for not making them crash at the moment of the big reveal.
WHAT? More tears? Dammit, just kiss the girl already…
Now I think of it, you both were made for each other, such dimwits as you are…*grin*
So she went to Singapore, and is quite clueless about everything…
Wow, notes and stuffed toys…
Oh-oh, now she has to tell Sam she’s in love…but not with him.
Now don’t you go throwing her out of that hotel room, young man…put her on the first flight back to Manila, like a proper gentleman.
Ha, looks like she gets an extra day.
Oooh, back in time for the exhibit, so she gets to see all the stalker photos! *grin*
YES! Best way to shut any woman up…kiss her! Now do it again and make up for lost time!
Ay Dios ko, binitin niyo pa ang mga fans, pwede ba, halikan mo na siya!
Well, direk certainly let them have it, didn’t he? Good!

See, I’m a mushy old romantic at heart. I love me a good Tagalog romance, I do, cliches and all. *grin*
