Tuwing umuulan . .

I watched a film with Regine Velasquez and Robin Padilla tonight, while doing the long overdue, smokey mountain high pile of ironning (blame it on blogging, hehehe).

Well, anyway, I was so kilig to the bones talaga, mind you not with the actor and actress but with the story itself. It is really strange coz I very seldom watched a Tagalog film when I was in the Philippines. I did, of course, but I was really choosy. I only watched the most controversial ones or those with Political backgound. Ironnically, when I came to Europe, I became addicted to Tagalog films. Bigla na lang bang maging patriotic?!?(he!he!he!) I grabbed every Tagalog film I could find and if i didn't get anything new from here, I would order them from the Philippines. It even became a habbit to copy borrowed films while watching it, so I could watch it again the next time I felt homesick. Anyway, i borrowed this film from a Filipino colleague at work. Naturally, i copied it on our outmoded but very reliable VHS recorder.

Super naka-ka-kilig, was the "Kiss under the rain" scene. They were talking about their dreams, their families when it suddenly started raining. Regine wanted to rush back into the house, but Robin held her back. They sat there outside the house, on the hood of Robin's Jeep, under the rain and suddenly Robin gave Regine a long, gentle and probably "super-sarap" kiss kasi talaga namang napa-hiyaw (with high pitch) at napa lundag siya afterwards. Sheyyyyyt!! It really made me feel ("in love") like a teenager again.

To those who have not seen the film, Regine's role is a rich singer with a broken family. Her father is a politician and her mother is married to a businessman with a new family of their own. Robin is a mechanic, owns his own talyer, lives with his father, his sister who has Down's Syndrome and with his "abnormal" uncle. Of course, like any Tagalog film, it has its own dose of hardships in life and in family relationships. The ending is also a typical Filipino fairy tale, hehehe, living happily-ever-after.

Bakit ganoon, noong nasa Pilipinas pa ako, pag umuulan, hindi ako naka- karamdam ng lungkot. Bagkus, romantic pa ang dating sa akin. Puwera na lang kung bagyo, which is a differrent thing. Dito sa Europe, tuwing umuulan, ang feeling ko napaka-bigat. Para bang wala na yatang masa-sayang araw pa na darating. Ewan! O baka naman, nagse-sentimiento lang ako dahil nag-iisa ako dito sa bahay at naho-homesick na naman ako? Maka tulog na nga lang...

hi justice,

sa tingin ko nga rin. so far, almost lahat yata ng films niya ganoon ang mga roles niya. mind you, i don't claim na i've seen them all...yung mga napanood ko lang naman. pero mas gusto ko pa rin ang ka-pogi-an and acting style ni Ceasar Montano...kaya lang wala pa siyang bagong films...may alam ka bang latest movie niya?... share please...hehehe. Tc.

watched that film na din...pinoy version ng notting hill. robin really is good with playing this tambay roles 'no?

Posted by: justice at May 7, 2004 12:43 AM

Dont worry missP di lang ikaw may sakit na ganyan. Although di ako makahanap ng ng Pinoy films dito sa thuringen kasi di nman siya big city like frankfurt or munich or berlin. Kaya download na lang ako ng doanload ng pinoy music...
sinaSCHEIZE ako ng mga neighborhud kasi ngawa ako ngawa ng lea salonga, kever, in fairness walang gumagawa nyan dito. Tingin nila sa akin timang, kesa naman magpapakatimang ako sa pananhimik, bakit nga ba di pede mambulahaw ng kapitbahay eh di naman ako gumagamit ng microphone.... bukas nga lang window ko...kahit umuulan sing ako ny the window.
Tingin ko NAHIHIBANG ang tawag sa sakit na to.

wag ka malungkot, di lang ikaw meron nyan...walk na lang walk... nasubukan mo na bang maligo sa ulan sa germany? try it, saya kahit mag isa ka lang LOL. ang sarap pa nga, maginaw nga lang, kaya pasok ako sa cafe para magpainit... kahit tulo tulo ang damit ko at ngarag ang hair. parang pelikula na rin di ba.. wa nga lang si aga muhlach!!! hehehe

Hi MissP...medyo malungkot nga pag puro ulan, lalo na dito sa holland, pag sumikat ang araw parang mga langgam na nagwawala ang mga tao, taking advantage to enjoy it...

I hope that you're feeling a lot better today. TC
