5 Things We Learned from the LoDi Love Story @ritzazul @josephcmarco


Dear LoDi,

It’s been two months since we started to fall in love every afternoon because of your comic yet romantic love story. Lorenzo and Dianne entered in our hearts and filled our miseries with consequential kilig that we can’t resist! But they showed us the different things we do for love and what love could do to us!


1. Love is unexpected.
Lorenzo’s plan was to avenge for being abandoned by Don Roman. He even fell in love with Dulce in the process. Meanwhile, Dianne has her heart only for her Rockstar Boss. Tormented from death, she wasn’t ready to be in any kind of serious relationship. They were different in so many ways but they were also too fearless and don’t give up in their petty fights. They literally hate each other. But a twist of fate changes their lives and sooner realizes they were made in for loving each other.

This happens to most of us all the time. We don’t choose who we fall for in this world. But when that moment comes and the universe conspires for the two of you, there’s no turning back even you try to ignore each other. As the song goes, “Love moves in mysterious ways,” You can never tell who, when, where or how but what matters is that moment finally came and no more holding back. We barely notice that the feelings are getting stronger and finally, you might end up asking, “Where have you been all my life?”

2. Love is a risk.
Like any poker game, you gamble everything for love. Lorenzo did have moments when he hold back especially when he considered his social status, he never wanted to confirm his feelings for Dianne. On the other hand, Ms. Liwanag knew that the more chances she give to Lorenzo, the more she might get hurt. But as for now, she gave this a chance. She wanna take a bet for Lorenzo and maybe just maybe, they’ll both win this time.

There are a lot of complications in loving someone who is totally different from the world you grew up for years. But love just gives you the fighting spirit to take a bet, try even just for once, and realize that person is quite a shot. We all want say,”Bahala na si Batman” because of the fear of the unknown. Deep inside we have a lot of things going inside our head, the what ifs, the maybe and the impossible, but this only means that we just badly want to be with someone we loved the most despite not being chosen in the end.

3.Love brings out the best in you.

Lorenzo and Dianne have their series of unfortunate events back then. They were victims of this tragic life that made them both stronger, the kind of persons who won’t give up easily. This is the reason why they repel every time they were together. They haven’t seen the good side of each other and kept that negative attitude for a while. But when things change, Lorenzo tried to show his soft side and how protective he could be with Dianne. He didn’t change rather he had a reason to be the kind of man he should be to earn Dianne’s trust and hopefully, love as well. Everyone saw Dianne’s bubbly personality and kindness to the Cardinal family and she’s now extending this version of herself with Lorenzo. They clearly wanted to give this a chance, slowly but surely.

Growing up from this judgmental world, we choose to hide ourselves and keep distant to those kinds of people who won’t understand our real feelings, emotions and beliefs. But when you meet the right person, there are no walls; no pretending and you feel so good about yourself. When love comes, we become transparent and not afraid to show the world who we love and how we love them.

4. Love is painful.
Nobody said it was easy, Nobody said it will be this hard. The Scientist song sums it all! Dianne had to carry the burden almost every day. She never wanted this to happen but her heart could no longer deny the feelings she have for Lorenzo. It was a battle between herself and her heart. On the other hand, Lorenzo did struggle since he wasn’t ready for it after his disputable treatment to Dianne before things got complicated. Not even in his sweetest dreams will he ever consider Dianne as his one great love but it did happen and his world is wrecked for all the guilt and feeling sorry for Dianne.

Love is when you experience how painful it could be and choose to stay. No matter how hard you try to escape, forget and forgive, you will still be in love with the same person. You could weep, curse but at the end of the day, that pain will fade away if your heart still remains beating for your one and only. But if you both overcome it, you are both winning against all odds! And that’s love.

5. Love is real.
Lorenzo and Dianne felt it once but not the same as it is now. It was unexpected, risky painful, life changing therefore it is real. Imagine, it took only a night and yet they will thank it for the rest of their lives. It is a miracle, once in a blue moon but still happened. Being happy, having sacrifices and fighting for it prove to us how real it is to fall in love with the right person even at the wrong time.

You’ve been seeing it every day, and praying it will happen to you someday. And when that day comes, you will realize how real it could be more than the stories you’ve heard, lovers you’ve witnessed and heart breakers you’ve encountered. So thank it, keep it and always treasure it. Love is real and could happen to anyone!

Next: 5 Best Things About the JoRitz Friendship!

JoRitz WednesDATE: Aug 8 read at your own risk

The long wait is over. ABSCBN finally launches “JoRitz” as the new pair to watch out. August 8, 2019 is JoRItz Day! Ritz Azul is one of the female guests who supported the advocacy of Women’s protection against violence and foul treatments from other people including body shaming. Then, Joseph Marco was the surprise guest/ friend to Ms. Azul. At High noon, they were both at It’s Showtime. And of course, Los Bastardos in Kapamilya Gold where Marco and Azul play as Lorenzo Cardinal and Dianne Liwanag, the characters who brought them to this unexpected yet perfect time to be the rising Kapamilya Love Team!

Ritz Azul is one of the underrated personalities in the showbiz industry. Her interviews are so light yet her audacity and beautiful charisma outshines within. She answers without using flowery words and just goes straight to the point like a pro. Her genuiness is admirable.

Ritz obviously grew up with a conservative family yet they are very supportive despite of her procative roles.

“Kapag nababastos ka, nakakababa ng moral mo.”

Ritz’s words sounded like lines from a girl who grew up in a province, yup a “probinsyana”. I wonder why people have bad stereotypes with being probinsyana and associating it as jologs. But Ritz wasn’t like that. She was expressing herself like every ordinary Filipina. Regarding to her statement, let’s face it, most of us are judge by our physical assets and it affects our self-confidence. Ritz said it without being offensive and just stating a sad truth.

“Hindi ko kaya mapagsabihan, Iiiyak ko lang sya.”

I could conclude Ritz is one of those women who would rather ignore than fight back. At some point, we should also protect our rights but most of the time; we tend to just keep it to ourselves and prove that we could make a difference. She’s smart in choosing her own battles. Ms. Ritz might have a soft spot for all kinds of people but her perseverance and passion in art are greater than those shades people throw on her.

“Namiss kita”

When Joseph was introduced, I already felt the tension or awkwardness between them. Ritz jokingly ignoring his greetings from her cheeks is too funny and peculiar at the same time. As much as I want to doubt Seph, I still felt half of his statement was true. I am just not used to seeing them being nice with each other unlike Dianne and Lorenzo, arguing all the time.

So Joseph put his arms behind Ritz, slowly losing the tension. Well, Ritz seems okay. She is comfortable with him but you could see how professional they are despite being teased with each other.

“Magkikita naman tayobukas wag kang mag-alala”

I was laughing at some point where Ritz put her hands next to Seph’s face. It was too unnecessary but still funny. I know what they are trying to do but I also know they are just playing around. hahaha. The chemistry is present but their body language is too vague. It really depends on person’s different point of views. But it’s a good thing that they aren’t making it too scripted or else, it will look cringey.

“Parang hindi na to friends”

I won’t buy that line. They aren’t friends because they are more than just friends but less than any kind of delusional stage a fan would want to happen. I think Joseph and Ritz support each other and are already close with each other. That “More Than Friends” status is giving false assumptions. There’s no harm in putting so much meaning with it but just get your hearts ready. Moreover, knowing they will work again for a movie, that special bond they have, will always be memorable for the both of them.

“Sobrang tiwala ako sa kanya at hindi nya ako babastusin.”

I guess that’s the secret with successful love teams. You should able to maintain that level of professionalism and trust with each other. It will save both of your careers and that friendship that you’ve built. It affects the show anyways if there is stiffness or awkwardness especially with the leading lady. It’s really hard to be an actor when you are doing the reel and not the real thing.

“Anung klaseng FRIENDSHIP?Malalim ba or Special na?”

“Siguro lahat na.”

Ritz is really the Captain of this Ship. The question was supposedly to put #JoRitz on the hot seat but she really has a good answer. Since they had more scenes, they surely got close with each other. It will always be special especially that no one can deny the fact that most viewers of Los Bastardos tuned in because of their tandem. We could see in the ig posts that they are starting to get to know more of each other, and maybe they just enjoy the moment now that people are shipping them as an onscreen couple.

“Suplado Suplada?”

“Tyumempo lang ako.”

I think Ritz and Joseph are one and the same. They don’t initiate conversations. For sure Seph finds Ritz very beautiful while who can’t resist Joseph’s charms but I guess they aren’t just each other’s’ cup of tea. But don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t mean they don’t like each other; it’s just their first impression. For sure, they easily get along since Ritz and Joseph love to laugh out loud, and make silly jokes with their LB cast. I hope they also realize that they are both family-oriented too!

Joseph Marco is such a gentleman despite being called “suplado”. He explained that he is really not that social butterfly type of guy. And Ritz agreed though that he is really not the Lorenzo we see in Los Bastardos! Kudos to this man for he knows how to take care of his partner.By Looking at his IG posts, we could see show how much he value #JoRitz. Can you blame fans who assume he really might have a secret crush?

Kung magkakamabutihan na si Ritz Azul at Joseph Marco?”_Vice Ganda

I really have a hard time watching Showtime since they were just judge but I guess vice ganda read my tweet! Did he forget it’s Lorenzo Cardinal and Dianne Liwanag and not their real names? Did Vice Ganda give a premonition? A little bit of hope will do.

“Yung ibang tao kasi parang hindi alam ung role sa totoong buhay.”- Ritz Azul

Me:Dear Ritz, may iba rin taong hindi na alam ang role lang at totoo na pala sa buhay.🙊

How do you feel guys?

LoDi Recap: @ritzazul @josephcmarco

Communication. From tabularasa to letters to telegrams to text messages to emails to messenger apps. The evolution of keeping in touch with the ones we love is so fascinating. It only means that humans will do everything to connect with one another despite of being far from each other. And it also gives us no reason not to tell what we should have told. But every conversation starts with a Hello and ends with a Goodbye, so, will you still answer when someone’s reaching out for you?

Mr. Cardinal is now in control of his game. He offered a simple ride for Dianne. It was funny how she declines him and how Ate Girl in the middle keeps on meddling with their conversation. Ms. Liwanag just don’t want to give a damn chance to Lorenzo. Awww. As much as she acted like a pabebe Filipina, she still have the right to be one. Dianne should make this hard for Lorenzo. A man’s sincerety is tested through a lot of efforts he could give not just in the courting stage but in their future relationship status. Don’t be one of those guys who changes once they get what they want. Maybe this is why it’s different with Lorenzo-Dianne, the guy got what he want first then proves that he deserved it.

Unlikely, Ms. Liwanag’s phone got broken! Her efforts of saving it won’t matter because it’s fully dead. Of course, Mr. Cardinal is to the rescue by giving an umbrella for the damsel in distress. Just like what they say in Kdrama, Never bring an umbrella and a man will offer for yah.

Love the fighting spirit of Lorenzo! That’s love so you should never give up! Meanwhile, Dianne used the umbrella though. Rain rain come and stay, so little Dianne and Lorenzo will fall in love in any other way. Ms. Liwanag’s glimpses saying, “Rain rain,please let my Lorenzo stay!”

For better communication, Lorenzo took the chance of giving his first special gift to Dianne. Damn, these two got the sexual tension that we always demand in a PHR! And as expected, Ms. Liwanag refuse to accept it. Oh well, what’s new with Dianne’s goal of avoiding him always but she should know Lorenzo is a persistent man.

Paano kung ang hindi mo gusto ay magustuhan mo?

God, how can Lorenzo be so hot with those eyes and while saying those lines? Guess, he isn’t really a quitter and Dianne is a bit challenged! Her looks is saying no but so as Lorenzo. If it really means nothing for you Dianne, can’t you just accept it as a company phone?

Connor, the wingman of Lorenzo comes in and makes his moves! Imagine, from third wheel to supportive brother of Cardinal. They are the best trio through out the series. Sometimes, it takes one person to reconnect two hearts who failed to send their messages in their right destination.

Phone is ringing, clock is ticking, answer it! Hellos and Goodbyes are just words to start and end a conversation to avoid miscommunications. But if you don’t wanna hang up at someone’s call, don’t hesitate to continue your unexplaniable connection.

Sometimes, Saying I Love You is one phonecall away!

Our Inner #LoDi:@RitzAzul @JosephCMarco

After today’s episode, I realize that most of us are like Dianne and Lorenzo. We did our best but wasn’t enough and we find ourselves guilty of the things we couldn’t accept despite knowing it isn’t our fault. Crying isn’t for the weak. Saying sorry doesn’t always mean it’s all on you. Remember that everything happens for a reason.
We should stop putting ourselves down because of our disappointments. We are born to die but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a life. Wipe your tears. Tomorrow isn’t the same as today but choose to make it better.

LB LoDi Review: LB Bangayan

Photographs. They capture the best moments in our life. Whenever we feel nostalgic about the past, we always want to look back at our photo albums and relive those times. We remember how we used to smile, laugh, and bond with our families and friends and sometimes, how we fell in love with the best persons we met throughout the journey. But, what if those pictures no longer make you feel the way they always did? Will you still keep them?

Alam mo ang mga ngiting yan, nakakawala ng problema-Lorenzo,2019

Lorenzo Cardinal’s Second monologue. Here at the office, in the middle of the night, Mr. Cardinal is glancing at Dianne’s Laptop Wallpaper. He is captivated by her sweet smile. He can no longer deny the fact that she also captured his heart. When you’re in love, despite having a bad day, a simple smile from the ones we love can really get our troubles away.

Bakit ba ang sungitsungit mo sa akin? Nakakabwiset ba talaga ang mukha ko?-Lorenzo,2018

Lorenzo, how can you be so dumb? Dianne hates you for what you did to her. But as much as he wants to know what’s wrong, we all find it cute to see him so worried that Dianne will never look at him with a little enlightenment. It’s really not about the face but everything about him. Lorenzo give her some time to process both of your complicated status. Being in love with the least expected person and most hated guy isn’t as easy as it seems even you are the almost perfect guy. No matter what happens, you shouldn’t stop working for the greatest smile she could give to you in the next couple of days.

Kelan ka ba ngingiti ka sa aking ganyan?

It depends on your efforts young man. The real question is when can you make her smile that way? Maybe you should court her and treat her well unlike the bossy attitude you’ve shown her before.

That “Huli ka!” look at Dianne’s face is so precious. She should be flattered someone is taking a lot of time talking at her beautiful picture and he’s no other than but her boss. Lorenzo’s caught and he can’t think of any reasons except always being distracted with Dianne. Guess Dianne isn’t really a distraction but a motivation he still working on. Or if he is really distracted, it’s just because he is too affected with Dianne’s presence and only because he likes her so much.

Ang gulogulo ng table mo

Nah. Lorenzo you are the thing that messes her table and her world! You can’t just admit the fact that you want to talk to her and make her smile like that on the wallpaper.

Hindi ko ineexpect na sasagutin ako ng picture mo, pero ung may ari ng picture, pwede.-Lorenzo

Lorenzo be like, “Game on. I’m in it to win it!” The way he looks at Dianne is so steamy yet so genuine. Meanwhile, Ms. Liwanag’s fierce looks surely gives a warning that what he will do won’t make her change her mind. The tension and chemistry are both present in this scene! But this also means that Lorenzo’s accepting the challenge to make her finally say ‘Yes”.

Being nostalgic doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t move on. And sometimes, not moving on doesn’t mean we can’t let go of the past. A picture is worth a thousand words and, feelings. They are still memories and they will always be part of us even after making memories with someone else. Maybe we couldn’t appreciate them today but someday; we might miss them and thank ourselves for keeping those pictures. But sometimes, the best things aren’t really photograph because being with someone who make your smile every day is already

Picture Perfect

10 SIGNS YOU ARE A LODI SHIPPER @RitzAzul @JosephCMarco

Joseph Marco and Ritz Azul become official on-cam partners in Los Bastardos under the ship name #LoDi. The viewers can’t get enough of Lorenzo Cardinal and Dianne Liwanag’s love story and still very excited for the upcoming episodes! Are you slowly turning to be a #LoDi fan? Here are the 10 Signs You’re ( finally) A LoDi Shipper:

10. Started watching Los Bastardos


“Dati hanggang Kadenang Ginto lang ako.Patay na TV.”
“Hindi ako nanunuod ng LB dati, ngayon lang.”
These are the infamous lines from #LoDi shippers. Most of us don’t watch the show since it started back then. It wasn’t just as interesting and effective as it was before LoDi becomes the new phenomenon. The plot was too predictable, that even without watching it, you’ll know from the teasers what to expect in the next episodes. Los Bastardos lack the PHR feels before, maybe because they focus on the Cardinal family. But after LoDi happened, it became a new habit that we can’t stop. Honestly, we didn’t just admire Lorenzo and Dianne but the whole Los Bastardos cast. The growth and character development of each actor were highly appreciated even the new arcs of the show become exciting.
9. Surfing at Youtube


Yup. It was actually Youtube’s fault when this contagious and consequential kilig disease becomes widespread. The suggested videos of LoDi’s epic one night stand trended. We have to catch up their videos and look back how their storylines crossed their paths. Most of us were confused because everyone thought it was Dulce- Lorenzo endgame. But, some viewers find the little boss-secretary fight of Lorenzo and Dianne too adorable. The funny thing is that when they were starting to become a huge hit, their uploaded videos or scenes together on YouTube were around 5-8 and we of course, #RIP replay button. And if you will search their individual shows, their tandem in Los Bastardos got higher views than their individual previous tv series and even the former videos of the show itself.
8. Installed IWANTAPP


We wanted more scenes so we are all guilty of this!Lodi shippers installed the Iwant app just to catch up the first 2 Books of the LB Series especially their scenes together. At the same time, most of the fan-made videos needed other scenes from the tv show which apparently, not uploaded in their YouTube Channel. At first, LoDi shippers were hesitant to install it but since most of us are working during the live episode of Los Bastardos, we can’t wait to watch them online! And for sure, everyone will skip the other scenes; fast forward to the #LoDi Scenes because we can’t wait for the progress of their story!
7. Stalk


Fans got wild in the internet and can’t stop tweeting, posting about #LoDi. Of course, who wouldn’t be interested to know everything about Joseph and Ritz? We started browsing their past shows, their former love teams and even their personal lives. You just can’t stop thinking about them and always wait for their updates. There were a lot of comparisons especially that their tandem wasn’t expected to be a huge hit as a love team. Everyone expected that it will be a low key pair because they both excel in their individual projects. But fate had a better plan and news said they are about to do a movie so we were really enthusiastic about it!
6. Twitterserye and IgSerye

Guess even Ritz and Joseph can’t move on with Lorenzo and Dianne’s story as they tweet and comment still in their characters. Of course the LoDi shippers loved it! Everyone is always checking them out if they are online or if they have replies with each other. Not to mention that even their co-actors support the #LoDi ship and sometimes comment too! It’s really hard to figure out if they are just playing their own roles or disguising just to say the words they want and feel towards each other. LoDi Shippers just go with the flow even it gives us assumptions of what is real or reel. It was thrilling though and we can’t wait for more!
5. Affected ratings of show


After #LoDi had more airtime than before, everyone was always excited with the next day’s ratings’ results. We feel a little bit pressured especially when they are the highlights of the episode. Aside from making it trend on twitter, we still want the show to rate well especially that rumor has it the show will end by August yet Lorenzo and Dianne haven’t figure out their feelings for each other. But, since most of their spectators are still on their offices or work, we don’t have a choice but to watch it at the IWant App and avoid the spoilers in twitter as much as possible. A LoDi shipper might be a little bit competitive from the other network but it is just part of the industry! We just want an assurance that Lorenzo and Dianne’s arc won’t be forced or unreasonable when the show bids its farewell.
4. Affected with Lorenzo and Dianne’s mood and at the GC up all night


Am I the only one who wants to meet them as Lorenzo and Dianne? Eveyone got hooked with their story especially when things got complicated between them. Despite idolizing their good acting skills, most of us can’t avoid feeling the hatred, or sadness at the same time, kilig with their story. Their characters are so relatable especially Dianne Liwanag is the epitome of every Filipina women of this generation. Maybe because of their undeniable chemistry , everything seems so real as if Dianne and Lorenzo existed. Funny, we can’t sleep at night without discussing everything in GCS and still waiting for the ABANGAN and ht for the next day.
3. Use Lorenzo and Dianne’s Lines..


Consequences. Impertinent. Professional. Canape. Naglalandian. Hindi Kita Mahal. Distraction. Anung problema sa suot ko? MAHAL NGA KITA.
Guess , we need a LoDi Thesaurus though Lorenzo had the most funny and quotable lines! A LoDi shipper will always use these words even in simple conversations. It simply becomes our secret codes sometimes after watching their scenes over and over again. Bet one of the reasons why they marked inside our heads is that Lorenzo and Dianne deliver their lines naturally and effortlessly. They are really into their characters which makes their scenes so great! But of course, the Los Bastardos ‘ writers should also take full credit of those beautiful yet hilarious banats.
2. Puto, Kape, Soup, Ritz and Joseph Chips

We are all craving for our LoDi Menu! A LoDi shipper will know these goodies after those scenes were executed. No one could forget the epic scene when Lorenzo is too jealous with Dianne and Connor at IsayGani’s wedding! But it was funnier when Lorenzo eats his own puto. Who wouldn’t forget how Dianne always take coffee almost every episode? And the Ritz chips? These are the sweets that we started to appreciate as a LoDi shipper! Yet, we still don’t know the secret ingredients of the perfect chemistry of Lorenzo and Dianne.
1. Real/Reel? LoDi to JoRitz?


This has been the ultimate topic since #LoDi started. Joseph and Ritz can’t hide their sweetness on and offcam. LoDi shippers respect their personal lives and will never cross the line but some of us can’t stop imagining and wondering, “What if?” Let’s be honest, it affects us but not necessarily mean we put such a big deal out of it. Probably it was their overflowing chemistry and natural interactions that make us feel they can be a cute couple. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, we still choose to support them as the tandem that saved us from all anxieties and filled our hearts with all the kilig they both give since Lorenzo and Dianne met in the Cardinal Distillery.
So, are you a Certified LoDi Shipper? If these signs are all present, then congratulations! You are one of us!

LB LoDiReview: LB Giba @ritzazul @josephcmarco @joshcolet

Brotherhood. One of the strongest bonds in a family, even in a circle of friends. Brothers’ quarrels are childish at times but once the other is in trouble, let’s expect the other will avenge him. No matter how hard they are going through, there are no turning backs. But, what if a girl came and things get complicated? Will you choose brotherhood over love?

Lorenzo took this chance to talk with his brother, Connor. We could see how annoyed he is while seating next to his crazy brother. They aren’t the best buds out of all Cardinals; their personalities always ignite even from the past. The awkwardness between them is so hilarious. Even Connor was Lorenzo’s half-brother; he is much more of a brother to Dianne. He is the guy best friend every woman wants in their life. Sometimes, friendships are stronger bonds than romantic relationships. A girl who befriends a boy doesn’t mean there should be something intimate between them. Being the best pals is such a blessing. Having someone who won’t hurt you, who would protect you at all cost and who will never leave you at bad times is something worth saving than being a relationship then break in the end.

Lorenzo apologize for their pep fights but the truth is he is making a move to tell Connor how he fell in love with Dianne. He is so scared as if Connor is the one guarding Dianne’s heart. But, its kind-a true. All this time that Lorenzo hurt Dianne, Connor was always there for her. He had the biggest change among Don Roman’s sons. The best part is that Connor never took advantage of Dianne’s weakness or their friendship. He knows how lovely and pure Dianne’s heart is but he won’t take it because he’s only for Lupita.

Mahirap magsorry sa komplikado.-Lorenzo

Lorenzo, you are just not used of having a hard time in dealing with a woman. Whiners are wieners Sir! As expected, he is so shocked because Connor knew it all along. This is the first time they had a real serious conversation about Dianne. Lorenzo might be smarter than Connor but when it comes to love, Connor knows best. At last, Lorenzo admitted his real intentions with Dianne. Connor acted as if he is more of a brother to Dianne. A friend like him deserves a tribute. Love is given in different ways,and his love for Dianne is one of a kind.

Connor punches Lorenzo! After all the insults, from malandi to ang bababoy nyo, it’s enough. The best part is that he supports Lorenzo all the way. He made sure that it will be worse if Lorenzo hurt Dianne again. A drink to the man of the house!

Guess who is starting to care about his employees! Dianne, don’t be so harsh on Lorenzo. Her words is like an ending statement to what is going on between them. But Lorenzo’s reaction was epic. Yeah right, Dianne shouldn’t rub on his face the truth that she busted him out. But shouldn’t he be alarmed? The soup says it all, “Hindi masarap kapag malamig,..” Don’t be cold-hearted and never let yourself be bitter.

A real man knows how to solve this dilemma. No woman should ruin or intervene in the bro code. Being a good brother means not letting you be a doucebag and shapes you up to be the right man to the girl you’ve chosen. And even without saying a word, he will always know when what you are feeling is real and worth fighting for. Because when it comes to love,

You can never hide.

LB LoDi Review:LB Nanghimasok @ritzazul @josephcmarco

Aftershocks. These happen after massive earthquakes. As we all know, earthquakes unlike other catastrophic disasters are hard to predict, like the “BIG ONE”, we ain’t see it coming. But the worst part, after it strikes us, we will never know if there be another or if it will be a greater one. Even we survive it, we still no longer feel safe unless it took a long time without earthquakes. That’s why we should always know the drill. But what if your “BIG ONE” isn’t an earthquake but the love you never expected? Will you stop, drop and hold?

STOP.

Huwag magpapaloko Dianne. Mapapaso ka lang dyan.- Dianne, 2019

Dianne is stopping by at the same spot where Lorenzo declared his love her. She’s having aftershocks, unexplained thoughts about what happened. She needs to pause for a while for she still can’t believe it really did. No matter how hard she try to forget it, her heart can’t stop beating for Lorenzo. She is just afraid to get hurt the way she got one from drinking coffee and from being associated with her boss. Everyone who loved and got hurt will always act this way. They will pretend and think it’s just another disaster. But, sometimes love is a beautiful disaster, perfectly imperfect most importantly, so real.

Mahal na nga kita , ayaw mo pa. Parang tanga pala mainlove.- Lorenzo, 2019

After Dianne exits, Lorenzo’s on their favorite staircase scene. Lorenzo Cardinal, that’s what you get when you let your heart break. Technically, he broke Dianne’s heart but he never realizes that every time Dianne gets hurt, it is twice harder in him. Darling, love isn’t enough reason to win someone. Just like earthquakes, Lorenzo has faults to fix this time. Dianne doesn’t want to because he acts like there’s nothing worth putting their worlds together again after this love hit them. And yes, Lorenzo, love can make you the dumbest earthling. Falling in love might make you crazy but letting go of someone you love is stupidity. Man up or you’ll have another mischance with her.

Sorry hindi ko alam naandito ka- Lorenzo, 2019

Is this a line refers to him who didn’t see her today or never saw her despite being with her at the Cardinal Distillery for a long time? Lorenzo’s apologies sounded as excuses. Meanwhile, Dianne has been hiding herself and her feelings too. They act so paranoid at doing their best at playing the pretending roles of not being interested to the other. They always look shock, can’t stand on their ground as if their whole world is shaking every time they meet especially in awkward moments like this.

Bawasan mo ung coffee intake mo para hindi ka masyado tense- Lorenzo,2019

Funny, Dianne got Lorenzo’s coffee! They had an indirect kiss!Too much caffeine is bad for the health and heart Ms. Liwanag. But Lorenzo, it’s not about the coffee but it’s you. When you are near to someone who raises your love intensity to the highest level, you can’t stand still and you want to avoid the huge wave of complications that awaits. Caution first before another mistake.

DROP.

Nagulat ka ba kasi ayaw mo o gusto mo?- Isay, 2019

Lorenzo and Dianne finally drop the bomb with Isay and Gani. But, the biggest bomb is that they knew it all along. Isay got a point, Was Dianne shock because she doesn’t want it or because she loved it? We are all guilty of this. We make ourselves believe that what we love isn’t what we deserve even deep inside, that’s what we liked after all. People are confused because they can’t change what they can’t accept and accept what they can’t change.

Hindi ako tumigil hanggang sa mapatunayan ko sa kanya na sya ang babaeng mahal ko-Gani, 2019

Lorenzo should jot down notes from Gani’s experience. Real men don’t give up easily. Some stereotypes Filipino women as “pakipot” and traditionally speaking, men really do whatever it takes to get the “YES” that they’ve been waiting for. But, what’s so wrong with that? It doesn’t mean a girl is enjoying while seeing her future lover suffer and face the consequences before they become official. It is simple as if you could survive all the hardships, the pain and most of all accept all of her/him, then that’s it, even an earthquake won’t break your love apart.

Hindi ko nakikita kay Lorenzo yun eh.- Dianne, 2019

Dianne is like every other Filipina nsbsb. Full of love yet sees no one who deserves it, not even Lorenzo. Her reactions are all reasonable. She never felt Lorenzo’s care and love for her even before it happened. They were always clashing because Lorenzo thinks highly of himself. Ms. Liwanag’s life becomes doomed when Lorenzo came. At first, it was an ordinary misunderstanding but after that night, they caught feelings bad. It’s like a disease. And the antidote depends on whether they want a dose of love and happiness or a prescription of forgetting and losing each other permanently for the rest of their lives. Oh please, choose wisely.

HOLD.

Hold on. Last step is to hold on until the earth stop shaking. Love is like earthquakes, you never saw it coming and when the aftershocks are ending. That’s why you should always know the drill. Stop and think of the next move. Drop and cover yourself from worse disasters or things that might hurt you. And Hold tight because maybe the only way to survive this is to wait for the moment to find the place where you will be safe. The “BIG ONE” had been predicted for years and good thing it never happened. While in life, your “The ONE” may be unpredictable but the best thing is

Love happens.

LB LoDi Review: LB Mahal Kita @ritzazul @josephcmarco

Three words. Eight Letters. Say It and I’ll be yours.” A simple line yet means a lot. This is the truth that will finally set us free from our doubts, our fears and anything that holds us back. These words are what your heart is telling you for a long time. And sometimes, we utter these words not the way we planned them. But if you unexpectedly say it, will you still let go of the chance to finally proclaim it?

Fresh from the Gani-Isay’s residences, Dianne came to the office seeing Mr. Cardinal asleep like a baby cocoon. At first, she wanted to make fun of him but as she approaches into his angelic face which is ironic from his demon attitude, she remembers the moments they had either fighting or getting along. Dianne’s world stop and she saw flashbacks of her and Lorenzo as if they have been together for a long time.

She saw something beyond what she was looking at. Because this time, love hit her hard and all she is thinking of is him, the picture of a me and you. Dianne hesitated and can’t believe how she “imprinted” on Lorenzo. Despite her doubts, she still manage to show a bit care to him by giving her own coat.

Ms. Liwanag can no longer deny the fact that she wants him too. Even she knows this man will hurt him, she can’t control her heart and mind when both of them are into him. Dianne is like any other girls who felt love for the first time. The confusion made her more realize that she in deep trouble for liking someone she used to hate.

Lorenzo wide awake after realizing he slept in his office. But the mystery of all is seeing Dianne’s coat unto him. This makes him more confused than he ever her was after he shared a night with Dianne. His world is falling not apart but for Dianne only. Something inside his heart keeps on pleading how much he really likes her. He doesn’t know what to say or think. He doesn’t even know why the hell is he in love with her. He almost had a single teardrop, for the overflowing joy, happiness and guilt with all that happened. He is scared because he badly wants her. He is like a bomb about to explode but still needs a little piece of match to finally give in.

Anu ba nagustuhan ko sayo?_Lorenzo

Mr Cardinal, that is how love works. You need no long list of reasons to love someone. It is enough to admit you love her and that means more than you ever want to say to her. Love makes you speechless. Love changes you to someone you’ve never expect. Love will make you do things you have never done before. The search is over Lorenzo and you are not so over with Dianne.

Kung gusto ka nya, Kung mahal ka nya, wala kang dapat gawin.Tatanggapin ka nya kung anu ka-Dianne, 2019

Liwanag na liwanag. She is not Ms. Liwanag for no reason. And this is because she got the bright mind in being so optimistic in life and love. Dianne was right. You need not to prove youserlf to be worthy of someone’s love. Being accepted for who you are is much more than love. Truth is, people thought when they find their partner, they could change them but it doesn’t always end up that way. Some things are not meant to be change rather embracing everything about the person you loved the most.

We are in the climax of this whirlwind romance of Dianne and Lorenzo. Dianne is obviously comforting Connor after longing for Lupita. And the man on his usual CEO dress code arrives, looking fiercely at the two hugging, and accused them of bullshit words.As much as Lorenzo wants to be mad at them, he looks so damn funny for this is what he gets for keeping his feelings from Dianne and choosing his pride over her. We should realize that this is what happens when we don’t resolve things in simple conversations. Both Dianne and Lorenzo have their own faults on this. Their personalities are so alike that they repel sometimes. They always want to play a game they are both not good at it. Because love isn’t meant to be played but to be taken seriously.

The moment of truth. The scene that all the fans have been waiting for has finally happened! Dianne confronted Lorenzo and this man could no longer keep it. The intensity of their argument is what they both needed to confess their feelings they’ve been ignoring since that night. We all felt the honesty, sincerity, even the fear from Lorenzo’s voice. He really risks it all for Dianne to know that whatever they had is something affecting him. Lorenzo is now becoming the better man ready to fight for Dianne. And as for Ms. Liwanag, an applause for asking what really bothers you from a man who might have love or hurt you again. Dianne is pouring out her honesty that this whole thing doesn’t make sense. But, for sure, now that Lorenzo made his proclamation of love, everything is crystal clear.

Dahil Mahal Kita. That’s it. That’s the only reason why Lorenzo and Dianne keeps on getting back to each other. It is the love that bonds them and even the universe conspires to take them to person where they truly belongs.

Some words are still better said and done. When you love someone, you have to show it. And you have to shout it out loud. Sometimes people so high in love can’t easily believe that they’re in love that’s why you have to say it. Say it even it hurts. Say it even the world laughs at you. Say it even he might not say it back. Say it as if the whole world depends on it.

Three Words, Eight letters, Say it and I’ll be yours.

I Love You

LoDi Confrontation Review: LB Humaling @ritzazul @josephcmarco

One More Chance. One of the best Filipino movies of all time. Who wouldn’t forget Basha and Popoy’s most iconic breakup scene? It was painful, dreadful yet you can still feel their love to each other . One day, you are both happy, everything was fine then the next thing you realize, some this unusual happened and it’s like dealing with a whole new dimension where you are lost and don’t know how to escape from it. But what if there’s no us to begin with? Do we still consider it a breakup? Do you think you have the right to ask for another chance when you choose to lose the many chances you’ve had?

Lorenzo:Hindi pa ba malinaw sayo? Ang alin, alin ang malinaw alin?

Dianne: Malabo ang lahat malabo

This is the moment when two people are torn between love and fear. There are things to consider in their lines, Lorenzo was ready to reveal the truth that he is in love, and they have some connection he couldn’t explain but on the other hand, Dianne is also telling the fact that whatever going on is too weird and nothing makes sense. At some point, Dianne feels it is the moment she waited when a man will finally confess his feelings unto her but this is not the way she planned it. Her words were clear enough to say they aren’t meant to be. “Malabo!” Dianne, even before Lorenzo say a word, is closing her doors for Lorenzo. She will do what it takes so he won’t get there, to that spot where his arguments will make this worse.

Lorenzo:Dianne kaya ko ginagawa to dahil ayaw ko tong ginagawa mo sa sarili mo.

Dianne:Eh ano ngayon sayo?
Bakit ba lagi mo akong pinapakialaman?
Yung kilos ko yung galaw ko yung damit ko

Lorenzo:Eh dahil MAHAL nga kita, MAHAL KITA.

At the very last second, Lorenzo can’t say it. He is still hiding under his stupid pride, foolish reasons of caring and protecting. His words are still holding him back but his emotions were ready for this moment. And then, finally, he said those words with pure honesty. His voice shaking, panting as if he sprinted quarter miles away from his doubts to reality. He lost his mind and ran out of words, bullshit reasons, and all he has is the one and only truth, “ Mahal Kita.” And there it is, standing in front of the woman he likes, the walls are crumbling down, the chains inside of him are breaking into pieces, his frozen heart melted and his loveless soul change to the selfless guy, acknowledging his love that made his life crazy as hell but still wanting more of her.

Anong sinasabi mo?

Mahal nga kita, Hindi mo ba maintindihan yun mahal kita!

Bakit mo to sinasabi, Bakit kailangan mong sabihin to ha! Para maamo ako, para makuha mo ako ulit? Ganun ba?
Hindi, hindi mali yung iniisip mo eh

Lorenzo said it not once, not twice but three times! “Mahal Kita” Two words for his one and only. But these words need so many explanations. Dianne is in the right position to question his feelings. All this time, Lorenzo treated her like a doormat. He even tried to accuse Dianne that she liked what happened as if it was something ordinary for her. But, Lorenzo felt that Dianne surrendered her all for him. He felt how special it was for the both of them.

Anong gusto mong isipin ko? Akala mo ba tanga ako? Alam ko ang mudos mo sa mga babae paiikotin mo pakakagatin mo kapag pinagsawaan mo na iiwan mo rin. I’m sorry Sir ha! I’m sorry natoto na ako eh. Naging tanga na ako ng isang gabi hindi ko na uulitin yun. Hindi ako magiging biktima mo.

The more they reveal themselves, the more it gets harder and harder. Lorenzo’s past girlfriends must be applauding by now because karma is at its finest. Out of all women he slept with, Dianne made a difference. She isnt afraid to tell Lorenzo how fucked up he is when it comes to women. She gave herself not because she was just drunk but she wanted him. That night, she forgot who she was and decided to be someone he needed. Dianne always insisted that it was the biggest mistake of her life and she learned from it. This is what happens when we try to do something for the first time and failed. We are so scared to give another shot. Dianne like all of us is just saving herself for another massive heartbreak.

Oo inaamin ko marami akong naging babae,marami akong nasaktan pero hindi ibig sabihin nun na gagawin ko sayo ang nagawa ko sa kanila.

Ano pa ba ang gusto mo, ano pa bang gusto mo! Nakuha mo na ako diba!!
Maaaaali! mali na may nangyari sa atin Sir! Gusto ko nalang burahin sa isip ko alam mo ba. Kaya pwede ba tantanan mo na ako.

Easier said than done. Lorenzo Cardinal, swearing after hurting her won’t make a huge deal out of it. A woman like Dianne will never give in easily or else she won’t be worth it.On the other hand, Dianne loses her temp and emphasize the fact that it was nothing to her. It was a mistake not meant to happen. She just want to wake up from this nightmare. But Dianne said these for so many reasons. Was it wrong because she saved herself to someone special? Was it wrong because Lorenzo was mean to her? Or was it wrong because she fell in love with Lorenzo despite not liking him?

Wala lang ba sayo yun? Wala lang sayo yung nangyari sa’tin. Dianne for me, for me WHAT HAPPENED TO US WAS SPECIAL.

Paano naging special yun. Ginagawa mo din sa ibang babae yung bagay na yun ha! Hindi ako tulad ng iba sini-save ko yung sarili ko para sa lalaking pakakasalan ko mamahalin ko buong buhay ko hindi tulad mo, hindi tulad mo hindi tulad mo na parang laruan lang sayo ang lahat.

How can Lorenzo be so shallow and pretend Dianne was the one who acted like it never happened? He was the first one who showed underappreciated feelings towards Dianne. He even made her life more miserable. Meanwhile, Dianne is like any other girl who lived with a dream of marrying someone who will loved her for a lifetime. If only he quit playing games with her heart after that kiss, then maybe, she saw a little potential to make this work.

Dianne I’M SORRY! I’m sorry kung nangyari yung hindi dapat mangyari. Pero nangyari na wala na tayong magagawa CAN WE GIVE IT A CHANCE, just ONE CHANCE.

If all lovers will be as irrational as Lorenzo, no one will ever want to fall in love again. Asking for a chance after saying sorry after declaring your love won’t resolve their feelings for each other. But seeing him begging as if his world depends on this is a lot heartbreaking. But he still needs to figure if he is asking for a chance because he likes everything about Dianne or he is just guilty for what happened? Lorenzo should have been wiser here and didn’t rush things between them. He was asking for too much when he did the least efforts to make her happy.

Hindi porke’t may nangyari sa atin gusto na kita, mamahalin kita hindi ganun kadali yun. Hiiiindi! I’m sorry Sir, hindi ikaw yung tipo ng lalaki na mamahalin ko “HINDI AKO NANINIWALA NA MAHAL MO AKO”

Everyone could relate on to this. Sex, dating and flirting doesn’t always mean it is love. In this generation, people had invented so many stages, labels that make relationships more complicated. The worst part is sometimes they do it for nothing. Dianne had made her point that Lorenzo isn’t the one for her. Lorenzo isn’t worth loving. But Lorenzo should get something in her words! Dianne doesn’t believe him so that means he should do something in order for her to change her mind. Lorenzo should prove he is worth a shot. He should show the best version of himself who deserves Dianne’s heart.

When Lorenzo left, Dianne is obviously hurt. She knows how much she doesn’t like this but she is also sure the more she ignores it, the more she’s falling for him. But she knows what she said was right. She never wanted this, not a single bit of this but dearest Dianne, this is love. We couldn’t always look at the happy endings, true love kiss and prince charming side of it but also the heartaches, disappointments and sacrifices. Dianne and Lorenzo need a break but not to totally end things. But it’s now or never. Dianne, the unrequited lover and Lorenzo, the heartbreaker have to meet in the middle so their love will endure their pain and doubts.

Even the movie One More Chance had a Second Chance so who we are not to ask for it? But give some time and space to process everything. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to bring back the trust and respect from the ones we’ve hurt. A lover who has been broken need to pick himself up before he could love again. Don’t rush things. You can’t just move on and open another chapter without closing the other.

Sometimes, it’s okay to get hurt in loving someone than never love at all.
