Raving feels for the movie *Ehem* Spoiler Alert

It was December 30, 2015. Mall of Asia Cinema 1

Actually my brother already said to me that I should choose between Ice Skating or My Bebe Love. It was a tough choice for me. I like ice skating, but I really want to watch My Bebe Love because of AlDub. (Oo, you heard it right. Nanood lang ako ng movie dahil gusto ko yung mga characters.) I’m fan of the love team. (Papanoorin ko parin naman kahit walang AlDub dun, pero mas malakas yung hatak kapag nandun sila.)

Of course, I’m writing this blog post right now because I chose to watch My Bebe Love instead of skating. And I didn’t regret it at all. Why, well I’ll tell you in a bit.

Thank goodness we watch the first showing. Lesser people, more fun. (Mas hindi nakakahiyang kiligin kasi wala ka naman katabi.) When me, my parents and grandmother found a sit at the left side corner. I already said to them that we should sit there. (Walang tao dun. Lahat sila na sa gitna.) What an introvert, I always feel awkward to feel giddy when some stranger is sitting right beside me.

Thanks to my brother, I have one whole bag of popcorn all by myself.

*internally screaming*

A lot of people was screaming out loud when the show started.

The first scene was really funny. When Ai Ai’s character, Cora, got hit by Vic Sotto’s character, Vito. A great way to start a feel good movie is to have a good fitful laughs. Some part of this scene were shown to the trailer, but the banter between the main characters was not there. (Maligno!)

Cora is a rich woman, who turns out to be a victim of false love. She had a boyfriend and they always go to this bar where they bond together. (Cora brought Vito here in the latter part of the movie) She have a nephew, Dondi, who’s a charming, obedient young man. (Anna’s love interest.) On the other hand, Vito is Cora’s mortal enemy ever since their first encounter. His daughter Anna, happened to be attracted to Cora’s nephew. That’s where the plot runs.

Ai Ai and Vic Sotto combination turns out to be good. Both are professional comedians, they did a lot of comedic stunts that is really funny. Cora singing Aegis’ songs was really funny. A typical middle-age woman singing a heart break song in a bar. Who also appears to be hysterical because of the pain she’s experiencing. Vito trying to kiss Cora. *laughs* It was tedious, it’s so hard to stop laughing on this scene. (Yung halatang-halatang attracted na sila sa isa’t isa pero ayaw nilang aminin.)

The good thing about this movie is that it have a simple plot, which can be enjoyed by the whole family. (Even a child can understand what’s happening.) There are some ‘child should not know’ stuffs. (Lambanogpamore!)

Cora and Vito (The mortal enemies at first, but turns out they like each other)

ALDUB *Ehem* Spoiler Alert

Their first meeting was really good. The awkwardness in the atmosphere, kalyeserye vibes and their eyes. (Shet halatang kinikilig ako.) It’s like a normal love at first sight, but the vibe they show is really unique. Maybe you can relate to it when you watch the movie.

Giving the first awkward hi and hello, texting in the middle of the night, trying your best to look good, HHWCC (Holding Hands While Chika Chika), giving your phone number and trying to hold your feels. Dondi and Anna’s relationship is forbidden because their guardians are both on a war. (Which in the latter part of the movie join forces to break their relationship.)

Dondi the nerdy, geek kind of character.
