We drove to SM megamall at eight thirty in the evening. We watched the last full show of the movie Love Me Again starring Papa Piolo and Angel Locsin.

The theater was near empty.

If I’m going to rate the movie I will give it a three out of ten. Production wise it’s good but the story wasn’t. The movie was like skating on thin ice in terms of the storyline.

I think the movie intended to showcase many things other than the story. It includes the superb Bukidnon landscape, the Australian outback, the Filipinos’ cowboy culture, Angel’s brilliant horse back riding ability, and papa Piolo’s ever strong appeal and beautiful body.

The story of the movie revolved around the typical quest of Filipinos for the greener pasture intertwined with the common frailties that go along when a family member had to go abroad leaving behind a family and a loved one.

The movie opened with the courtship between Ara(Angel) and Migo (Piolo). Ara dares Migo to defeat her in horse back riding if he wants to win her heart. They raced several times but Migo never win but still they became a couple eventually.

The conflict in the story happened when Ara chose to pursue her dreams when the opportunity came her way. She decided to go to Australia contrary to what Migo wanted her to do.

When she went away their different interests and other personal dilemmas set them apart.

Eventually Migo decided to follow Ara in Australia to win her back. However another man, Ara’s Australian boss was already between the two of them. Bryan carries a promise of secure future for Ara and her family.

If Ara marries Bryan she will have everything but not love. Bryan can only give him partnership but if she chooses Migo she’ll be back in Bukidnon living the simple life but she’ll be with the man she loved again.

So what do you think she chose? Love or Money?

I know you already know the answer. This kind of story has been told a hundred times before.

“Yah, I know! Ambitious kami”

That was my message to a friend when I’ve finally decided to have an OJT in a government agency. I am disappointed the same way that I expect how my classmates and instructors would be disappointed with us.

I and Aimee have been going to office for four days already.

At first I was disheartened. Aimee cheered me up. She said that we should just make the best out of what we’ve got. Maybe our aim to get into those I.T companies were yet to be realized. Perhaps it’s a must that we get through all these.

Yes, we aimed high. I know some would even say that we’re mayabang. If it’s going to be taken against us there’s nothing we could do other than to accept it. There’s nothing wrong with hoping and trying, right? At least, as usual, we learned…
