Dear Love, I wanted to write this last night but the pain was just too raw. I randomly saw a link a few minutes ago and I know I had to write something. People are wondering why we broke up. While I didn't and don't want it to happen I understand why it happened. I accept your reasons. Thank you for being a great boyfriend! Even if it lasted just three months. Thank you for taking care of me, for being proud of me, for giving me reasons to be hopeful, for believing in me! Thank you for the memories! There is an endless list of reasons that I need to thank you for, most of all... I thank you for loving me and for telling the world that you do! Thank you for changing me without asking me to change! I will never regret everything we shared, I will never regret that I loved you. You have been very good and you deserve this chance to focus on you, your family, and your work. I support you and I will continue to support you for a long time. I know you'll do great. I survived Day 1 without you.…

Polar Brrr
Dear future boyfriend, KUNG SINO KA MAN! I noticed that people are getting craftier with their pet names for their special someone. Some friends are being too cheesy. Gone are the days of honey, sweetheart, love, mahal, mommy/daddy, and all those traditional pet names. My friends and the guys I date(d) all know I call my boys "babe" or "baby" for uniformity. Sometimes, I use it to make lambing and sometimes just to spite or make fun of the guy. :P But I'd have to call you something else, right? Because you're not just one of those boys. You're special. NAKS! I shall call you "Polar Brrr." And you're required to call me "Polar Brrr" too, ok? Bawal pumalag. Polar bears are cute and cuddly from afar. Like when you're continents away from it. But are actually very vicious and blood thirsty. Rawrrr! I know I don't look cute and cuddly, but I'd like to think I'm pleasing to the eyes, yes? And I have been told I'm malambing when in a relationship. But the real Ria, the one you don't want to bring out, is far more violent and scary than it seems. So I'm kinda like a Polar…
A Letter to My Future Boyfriend
Dear Love, Merry Christmas! :) I don't know who you are yet and as I write this, I am still undeniably in love with someone else. I am reading random posts that I wrote while listening to overly sentimental OPM songs. I don't really know why I am doing this and what I will be writing to you about. But I had the urge to write to you. I may not know who you are yet, or maybe we have crossed paths once or twice. I don't have any inkling. All I know is I look forward to the day I love you. And you love me back. Unconditionally. One of my favorite quotes is from one of my favorite movies, Moulin Rouge: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return." You see, I have this tendency of loving and falling helplessly in love with guys who don't seem to think I am worthy of loving back. I waste time investing in guys who don't have the time or heart to love me back. Friends often reprimand me for investing in those guys. But I am dumb as hell. I think when I…
The Wedding I Might Want
I have not, even as a kid, dreamed of having a wedding, getting married or having children. Maybe thought about it in vague terms, but was never something I spent time thinking about and dreaming about. I'm weird, I know. But here's one wedding I might want to have: Jerico and Marizel (Tuesday Vargas) from Mayad Studios on Vimeo. Izel: Sa buhay nato, marami akong naging pangarap: maging mahusay na doktor, maging beauty queen, at maikasal sa isang magarang lugar sa isang matipunong lalake. Masasabi kong sa raw na ito ay natupad ko na ang isa sa mga pangarap na yun: ang maging beauty queen. Jerico: Today I will marry my friend, the one I will live with, dream with, and love. Izel, I offer you a bond that will be as sound and dependable through the patterns of life's ever changing tides. As these waters nourish the earth and give life, may my constant devotion nourish and sustain you until the end of time. My love for you, endless and eternal, .... Izel: Coy, nais kong magpasalamat sa maraming beses mong pagsagip sa buhay ko mula sa bangin. Salamat sa pagmamahal na ipinakita mo sa akin at kay Kaya.…
Haven’t Met You Yet
One of the songs on Kuya Andrew's car playlist is Michael Buble's Haven't Met You Yet. I'm a fan of Buble and I have been wanting to download this song. I fell more in love with the song after Kuya and Ate Joanna sang it on videoke night. I love the lyrics of the song. So optimistic. :) Haven't Met You Yet Michael Buble I'm Not Surprised Not Everything Lasts Have Broken My Heart So Many Times, I Stopped Keepin Track.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It I Came Up With A Million Excuses I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility And I Now Someday That It'll All Turn Out You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get I Just Haven't Met You Yet Mmmmm .... I Might Have To Wait I'll Never Give Up I Guess It's Half Time And The Other Half's Luck Wherever You Are Whenever It's Right You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life And I…
One More Chance
Needless to say, Madam Ria is feeling emo today. And I want to celebrate the emo-ness with some scenes, lines, and analysis of Star Cinema's epic 2007 movie, One More Chance featuring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. Contrary to what industry insiders might think, it was not just the magic of the Bea and John Lloyd tandem that brought in the crowds. It might have been what brought the crowd during the first two weeks of the film's cinema run, but it was the film's story and lines that made the viewers cry, come back to cry some more, quote the movie, and revere it solemnly. video courtesy of hankin16. Rights belong to Star Cinema. No copyright infringement intended. Scene 1 Popoy (John Lloyd) and Basha (Bea) see each other after a while after their break up. Popoy already has a new girlfriend, Tricia (Maja Salvador). Basha: Sana kaya ko lang tiisin ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. Kasi ako naman humiling nito diba? Ako yung may gusto. Sana kaya ko rin sabihin na masaya ako para sayo, para sa inyo. Sana kaya ko. Sana kaya ko. Pero hindi eh. Ang sama-sama kong tao. Kasi ang totoo umaasa pa rin…
