my favorite line in the movie unofficially yours starring john lloyd and angel is this "may isang taong inilaan para sayo. taong mamahalin ka ng totoo. taong deserve mo" .
this was said in the scene where cess (the character of angel) was crying her heart out to her mother in the kitchen corner, after a very emotional confrontation with macky (john lloyds character) revealing to him the reason why she can't be falling for him. because her heart has had enough..theres nothing left of her to give to him. if only he was earlier, when her heart can still feel. and can still beat for someone.
can u really command your heart not to love, when do you say that youve had enough pain in your life and that your heart is not anymore capable of loving?is it your heart thats telling you that or your brain whos blocking your heart from beating for love. im reminded again of the irony of the dialogue of cess and her mother in the movie (i just dont know the actress but shes a good one)
cess: hindi ka ba natatakot masaktan? (paulit ulit nalang!)
mother: hindi lang ako napapagod magmahal.
to the point of view of cess, to love is to eventually feel pain and loss. but to her mother, to live is to love no matter how much pain you encounter throughout the journey. for as long as you continue on loving. if youd get hurt, rest for a while but continue to love.
unofficially yours was a different approach to a pinoy romantic comedy, but one that tackles a reality. it brought me to thinking, and it lead me to these lessons.
1. the basic lesson in love is taught by your family. everyone around you plays a vital role in forming your principles and beliefs in life and in love. they mold you consciously or unconsiously to become the believer of love or the pessimistic president of the anti-in love society. when you see your parents hurting and crying because of love, you will ordinarily have doubts on loving. but if you see a beatiful friendship and love sorrounding your parents relationship, ssurely you will be a hopeless romantic. im proud that my parents had always loved each other. they are the best of friends, the partners and the lovers. looking at them it makes me wish that the guy God prepared for me will love me the way my papa loved my mama.
2.for every heartbreak, your heart will be broken into pieces. but i believe that it will be whole again. it may leave scars, but these are scars that makes a heart stronger and healthier. these are scars that will be a reminder that once in your life you tried, true you failed but who cares? heads high you then say i survived! to love is to make that choice, it is to be aware that it may end up in a fairytale ending. or it may also be another heartbreak coming, but despite the fear of being broken again, you get out of that comfort zone and love again.
and lastly..
3. you deserve that one person who will love you without conditions and will understand that your heart was crushed and broken to pieces and that it has scars, it has fears.. and yet even so will wait for your heart to be ready to love again..
may the force be with as you continue to be hurt yet always comes out victorious. never stop loving. :)
