My cousin asked me to blog so here goes…

The title suggests I watched the John Lloyd – Sarah movie. I did. And I can’t think of a more creative title for this post. So… Whatever! I watched the movie coz 1) I love John Lloyd, 2) my bestfriend who idolizes Robin Padilla loves the movie so I got intrigued, and 3) I wanted to feel kilig even for just an hour or so.

The movie is good and lives up to expectations. I don’t get why it got an A though. The story is good, the lines were memorable, the direction, cinematography, and editing were ok.

John Lloyd was adorable. He was cute, lovable, and made me believe he is all in love but confused and desired to please his family. He was good but there’s nothing new or shocking to his performance. Sarah is surprisingly good. I didn’t watch the first movie so her acting kinda shocked me. Her Laida is miles away from her Bituing Walang Ningning character (which I liked) but she delivered. Me thinks she can act well. The rest of the cast were good as well. Even the Laguna factory workers.

What I really liked about the movie was how much insight it gave regarding love and relationships. I’m no expert but I agree with the movie. There are no happy endings. Love requires effort and hard work. Relationships don’t succeed without problems and complications. People do not love and commit equally. Relationships are hard.

And while I got kilig and even asked my friend to go find me my Miggy, I do not envy Miggy and Laida. I might ocassionally whine and bitch about being single and loveless, but I realize I am not prepared to commit yet.

I have lost myself before, loved too much, given too much. Didn’t ask for anything in return. And I suffered for it. Because 1) my ex was kinda an asshole, 2) I didn’t value myself enough, and 3) I desperately wanted it to work. I might be old, but when it comes to relationships I didn’t know enough.

I know better now, but I don’t think I’m ready to do the hard work yet. I want to get to know people, date, get kilig every now and then. But I am not yet mature enough to love and allow another person to love me. I do not even know enough to differentiate love and bullshit.

So anyway, do watch the movie. 😉
