I am one of the Millions of fans of the famous AlDub couple Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza around the world. When I said Millions, I am not exaggerating. And if you do not agree with me, well I suggest that you stop reading this cause the next that you would be reading will be how hooked I am about this young love team.
I discovered them after so much prodding from my younger sister. She told me to watch “Juan for All, All for Juan” cause there is this new love team and she wanted me to watch so I could tell her what happened cause she can’t watch the program as she is still on board when the segment is on. I ignored it for 2 days cause first I did not want to argue with her daughter, my niece Hannah who wanted to watch Nickelodeon rather than Eat Bulaga. And I would rather watch “Small People, Big World.”.
On the fourth or fifth day of AlDub, I finally watched Eat Bulaga. Don’t get me wrong, I have been an EB Baby since 1979. I am not that old. I was just 8 or 9 then when we would watch TVJ with Richie D’ Horsie and Double L Double N (those who have watched them since Day1, I know you know who I am talking about.
Funny thing is, Vic used to sing one of the songs to Chiqui that Alden now dubsmashes to Maine.
My family will watch Eatr Bulaga everyday except Sundays. That has been a habit since 1979.
So when I satrted watching them, I was hooked. I do not know why. Maybe I am not a hypocrite like those pa smart people I know on FB who has nothing good to say about other people. Maybe I am just a person who like the others want to feel a stress- free lunch break. Maybe I am just a simple person who who has simple joys….at hindi rin ako pa impress para maiba lang.
After watching this kalyeserye everyday, I can not help but smile. They are trying to bring back my childhood in a modern day scenario. During my time, we were forbidden to entertain suitors on the streets. We had strict parents. We were expected to be respectful, honest, courteous all the time. Broken promises are broken trusts. You do not promise your parents to go home early when you can’t. During those time, suitors are allowed to visit you at home during Friday nights and Saturday night, not any day of the week. You can not entertain them on the phone when they call because it’s either your Dad will tell you to put down the phone or listen thru the extension.
During my time, there were no challenges anymore. Only during my parents time OR maybe in the barrios where they still practiced those traditions. When I was courted I received flowers, love letters, poems, books,candies etc. I remember one time when my sister entertained a suitor, my Dad read newspapers a table away from them where they were talking. My sister did not end up with any of those suitors, neither did I end up with any of those who sent me love letters, gifts and flowers. I went on dating guys my Dad have never laid eyes on…it was fun….i was happiest when I had to be serious with one of them. My Father and Mother respected that anyway.
So this Saturday (Sept. 12, 2015) I was hoping that Alden and Maine would be given the chance to talk. They need not hug or kiss cause, THAT would be their first time to really talk. You do not kiss on the first meeting right? I am hoping that together with Lola Nidora, they would be given a chance to shake hands, talk, smile, kilig and everything that any normal people do when they finally meet their textmate, their phone pal, their pen pal.
And Alden, being perceived to be a gentleman, a modern knight in shining armor, a modern Cassanova, he should give Maine flowers, candies (because it is what she likes) that he himself bought. And Maine? Let her be Maine. Let her giggle. blush, smile, laugh, dance or whatever she feels like doing….besides, this is her first love team, love exposure and hell we wanted to see a glimpse of reality in theis drama/ comedy kalyeserye.
Lola Nidora on her part should give them this chance. She should not be too strict or KJ because in reality those who were so strict with their children were the ones who got pregnant early. She should maintain her strict persona but a considerate one. She should be consistent with her PANGARALS she should not breed hatred and disgust between her and the lovers. Look what happened to Romeo and Juliet, we do not want that to happen right?
Lastly, Eat Bulaga should play up on the fact that Maine and Richard Jr, have met already 5 years ago, and meeting each other again is an opportunity not to be wasted. Besides, don’t you get goose bumps when you think of everything that matches them and the opposite traits too? Dingdong met Marian before Marimar, they became a couple after 2 years, Dingdong said, she fit perfectly in his arms when he put his arms around her. We (fans)would like some day they will become a couple (Of course!) But since God is the writer of their love story, we will let Him do what is best for them…. butit does not hurt to pray for it right?
