"Are you crazy?" At the height of my tears, I managed to speak. "No... That's not true. Because... maybe you remember me now, that's why you're saying that? You're still the Joker..."I slapped his arm lightly, but it didn't even move his stiff body that stood in front of me. "Don't trip me up... It's not funny-""Irene, I'm sorry," cried Israel as he vainly tried to stop the tears from flowing down his cheeks. "Forgive me if I kept you waiting for a long time when you believed I was still alive. Forgive me because I made you believe I didn't survive the accident... and now... I ask for your forgiveness again for lying to you... again... to be the person who no longer recognizes anything from the past."Just this once, I want this scene to be converted as one of the nightmares I had every night. I can't accept that this incident is real... because the pain we both now experiencing could be hard for us to endure. And I can't even imagine how Israel could ever handle the pain watching m
"Good job, actors... everyone of you."As the ending scene sealed with a passionate yet short kiss between the lead actors, we started making arrangements, taking pictures... and now, Director Manuel started his soul-stirring statement."I entrusted Emily with the casting of this movie... that I can say that this movie is one that I will never forget. In the past movie projects and series I directed, Mending Alicia would seriously be one of the most unforgettable for me.""First of all, we were in a rush to finish it. We were all stressed from the few nights we had to stay up just to catch up with the January listing. But the best part of it is that... even though we rushed that it's over, while watching the scenes, it's a rush but I'm satisfied.""Because you know what? Producing a good movie doesn't always mean to have plenty of time filming it, or to have the privilege of being guided by an award-winning director of all time, or to have the best scriptwriter for almost ten years. T
"Honestly speaking, if we hadn't been lacking for time filming it, supposedly "Mending Alicia" is the newest Maple View original series this coming January. That's why we didn't have enough time for taping, and a unanimous decision has been made to just make this a movie, which will still be aired on the same streaming platform.”When I opened my eyes as if I had come out of a long sleep, a flat screen TV appeared before me. And Director Manuel's voice made my sleeping soul wake up."The reason why we really need to finish the taping in order to catch up with the January listing, it's because the lead actress of the movie, Corrine Desiderio, had a busy schedule entering the New Year. People will be waiting for him to star in a teleserye that we can watch together on television this coming April or May.”"Literally a busy schedule for me," I whispered.Even though my vision was blurry because I was just squinting, I inspected the surroundings where I got up, and the place is all white.
ELIAS"I still can't believe she'll do such a thing." Standing beside me was Corrine's face, who couldn't stop herself from whimpering as she stared at a long, white coffin where Stacy's lying down. "Then you know it hurts?"I noticed that she was crying all the time, still she's trying to hide it by looking up at the sky. It's the day to take Stacy to her final destination. Corrine's family also decided to bury Stacy right away."On the very last day of our taping, I wished that night would be the last day I would see her face. As if she heard that... she made it true. My together , Eli."The one thing I know I can offer him right now is my warm hug. I first moved her away from Stacy's corpse as if I'm hoping she could calm down if she's no longer seeing the remains of her long lost sister."She did what she thought was best for you, Corrine." While caressing her back, her whimpers continue. "He's aware of how much you hate him since day one you two met, and from the day you implante
In the midst of darkness, someone hooked me out of that shitty place. During the times when I thought the world had abandoned me, I can't imagine I could find solace in his company... not until a horrible episode happens.I couldn't fully imagine that the joy I felt was short-lived. After he brought me out of sadness, he buried me back to hell.He's the only person who pushes me to pursue my dream... he taught me that I'm a worthy person and that I also have the freedom to fulfill my objectives in life.I reached my dream... It's just sad because the moment I finally obtain my victory… he’s gone."Are you even serious? I can participate in the taping even though I haven't experienced being a wedding coordinator! So, what's the use of me working for 1 month just for that?""You're the actress here, Corrine. You should be knowledgeable enough about the role you will play. The thing here is that… this is also for the sake of making the series outstanding. It's a big advantage for you if y
In the midst of walking down the road, I passed a seminar in the capitol. The audience is high school students and the topic is career guidance. Probably for Grade 10 students entering K-12.I suddenly missed the time when I was still in high school, when Mom and Dad were still with me. I've promised them that after ten or fifteen years, they will see me both on TV.I'm dreaming of being a celebrity back then.But things like that couldn't be able to happen. Far from the reality of my dream coming true... 'cause I'm meant to sustain that witches' needs. Maybe Aunt Gretchen was right when she told me that dreaming is only for the poor. She said that we are not poor, so I don't need to dream anymore.My father is working abroad, doing hard work there just to make our life stable here in the Philippines. But instead of being happy, I'm not happy because like my father, I'm also suffering at the hands of his future wife.I am tiring myself to work at home and work the sidelines at a fast f
He hit me with that counterattack. Of course, right? What fool would say that she is satisfied with her life when she is so wrapped up in sadness?"Whether or not you are satisfied with your life, you can dream because that is one thing that will give you the motivation to live... and the joy when it comes true.""Dreaming is free, so don't be mean to yourself. Live for yourself, not for others. You were not born to serve them, because you lived in the world to find something that will make you happy before you even die. Human life is short, are you going to waste your life just to serve others?""It's not bad to have a goal for yourself... because I believe the real joy is when you achieve your goal."After saying that, he left. Instead of feeling sorry for myself in my current situation, I feel more sorry for the person inside that gigantic mascot. He will waste a lot of sweat just for his goal of making people happy.But seriously, I owe that person a gratitude. Somehow I was encour
When I finally got inside my room, I was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when I noticed something... those posters I collected from different entertainments that I was supposed to be auditioning for, why are they torn?I picked them up one by one, banging on Aunt Gretchen's room. "Who tore these?!"Stacy raised her hands. "Me."I was about to attack her with great anger when Aunt Gretchen blocked me from doing so. "Have you forgotten what I told you earlier?"I looked at her. "Who the hell are you for me to follow you? You're not even my mother, so you have no right to rule my life!”I received another slap from her. "You have no manners, stupid! Have my hands no longer giving you pain, so now you are being brave?!”"You ruined my dream," I murmured. "Your daughter ruined my dream, do you know that?! They are very important to me because listed here are the contact numbers and addresses of the talent agents I am aiming to look for... but now that they are in disrepair, how
