Nowadays, I rarely watch movies at the cinema. Unless it is a really good movie, I just wait for it to come out in DVD, most especially if it’s a Tagalog movie. There are exceptions, of course. Friends and my sister, Grace, have been talking about A Very Special Love when it was shown last year. The movie is a Sarah Geronimo-John Lloyd Cruz starrer and was a smash hit in the box office. It was a romantic comedy. Sarah and John Lloyd had great chemistry. The movie was funny and my friends and my sister went home smiling.
A follow-up to it, You Changed My Life, was shown a few weeks ago. It still stars Sarah and John Lloyd and follows the love story between the two, a continuation of the first movie. I was not able to watch the first movie on the big screen. But this one I thought of watching. And so I did. Last Friday, I went to the cinema with Hazel and my sister, Ming. This was not our goal, to watch the movie. We went to the mall primarily to buy things for my grandma. But then we checked out the screenings and we found one that fit our sched for the day.
It was worth it! The movie was funny, cheesy, corny and feel good! I love it! You’d get annoyed with the “Bebe Ko” ringtone but then you’ll let it go because you’d be entertained from start to finish.
Let me tell you this. I am not a big fan of Tagalog movies. I watched a handful that I liked. American Adobo. Crying Ladies. That first Regine Velasquez-Aga Muhlach movie. Got To Believe. There are more that I can’t recall at the moment. I just hate the copy-cat syndrome that most movie companies in the country have. Copying plots from Hollywood movies. The same old formula of rich boy-poor girl against all odds. Too mushy, with lots of sampalan. And the big deal kissing or love scenes… aargh! Annoys the hell out of you, really.
Anyway, You Changed My Life is a feel good movie. Enough for an afternoon when you don’t want to think about anything else. When you just want to laugh at corny scenes or cringe at cheesy lines. Sarah and John Lloyd really made our day!

It cuts like a knife, she’s out of my life…
I never should have let her go. I never should have tested the fates and threw caution to the wind. It was not meant to be, they said. But it was all my fault, my heart says. I took her for granted. Work and adventure were more important. I neglected her, plain and simple. That was the reason why she left. That was the reason I am miserable up until now. Yes, I tried dating. Yes, there are times that I thought… This is it! I can finally move on! But I was wrong. I still love her. And I think I always will.
I am looking at her now. She is laughing at something the man said. I miss her laughter. I miss her lovely eyes looking at me tenderly, with so much love. I miss everything about her.
But it was all in the past now. I can’t have her anymore. She has moved on. I need to as well. But how?

I never thought I would feel again. After what happened… Three years. It was three years that I tried to stay numb. I believed it was the only way I could have survived that misery. Family and friends did everything to lure me back to the world of the living. But I stayed put. I didn’t trust my heart you see. It was being held together by a fragment of a prayer. I was afraid it would fall apart if the numb would go away.
And then you came. You put me out of my misery. You made me feel again.
Laughter. That’s the first thing you taught me. To laugh at my past and forget it. No, you didn’t push me to forgive. That would be impossible just yet. Too much, too soon. But I learned to let go. I learned to take baby steps one at a time.
I also learned to hope. I lost that after losing him. But with the laughter came tiny bubbles of hope.
Slowly, I am rebuilding what I lost. Slowly, I am feeling once more. Slowly, I am walking with the living again. (more…)

Funny how I didn’t feel any negative feeling that night. Just happiness. I was so happy seeing you after a long time. It was a totally great feeling that threatened to overwhelm me…
Then walking in the rain made me realize so many things. For so long I’ve kept you in my heart. Crazy, yes. But I nurtured that feeling. I’ve taken care of it all these years. But are my feelings really intended for you? Or am I just nurturing the idea of being in love with someone from my past?
Worse! I am in love with the idea of being in love!
Can I really see myself with you? No, I don’t. You’re not even my type. I want a man who will sustain me through the years. With whom I can talk to. Who will make me feel loved and cherished. With whom I can argue and laugh with. I don’t want a man who has polygamy screaming at his aura and bloodline. No way would I stand guard over a man for the rest of my life.
This damn song is making me all weak in my resolve to get him out of my system. Stop singing in my head!
Looking ahead I see the two of us together… I’m living in a brighter world now that I have you…

How do you heal a broken heart
That feels like it will never beat this much again
How do you heal a broken heart
That feels like it will never love this much again
Her tears were pouring down her cheeks. She’s oblivious to the fact that people were looking at her, staring, probably thinking that she just had a lover’s quarrel with her boyfriend. She had. They broke up for the nth time.
And this time, she’s not ever going to give him another chance to break her heart. No more. Never.
Why is she settling for second best? Why couldn’t she put in her mind that there is someone better out there for her? But she can’t teach her heart on who to love. She can do only so much. For her, she follows the desires of her heart.
Life is short. Better to be hurt and loved than not to have loved at all.
But how she wishes she had never met him. And for the hurt to go away.
