Ohhh-kay, we had to watch this since everyone was giving rave reviews on this movie. This is the third and last installment to the Laida Magtalas - Miggy Montenegro love story. I also watched the first 2 films and I can say that you could see how Sarah's character evolved and matured in this flick. I loved the first movie (A Very Special Love), it was a feel-good flick where all you had to do was feel that you are in love. Miggy's the kind of tsundere character you will fall in love with while Laida is Miggy's greatest fan. The second movie (You Changed My Life) is like them accepting reality. To be honest, I wasn't a fan of this film...there were two many sweet *shivers* scenes that though everyone was feeling in love, I was feeling sick...it was too much.

Finally me and my sister Marion, watched this movie yesterday and I must say I loved the film from beginning till end and this is because everything evolved, the characters evolved and the biggest twist is how the girl would try to forgive the guy she loves who made a mistake in the moment of weakness. I loved the jokes and the one-liners especially Zoila and friends' witty remarks.

I am the kind of person who doesn't easy cry on films or anything. My friends say I'm like a cold person or like a stone (coz I love horror/thriller/suspense/superhero flicks much better) but there were 5 scenes in which made me tear up. Tear up not bawl (beware of spoilers):

1. When the group was singing "Kailan" and it was Miggy's turn, Laida teared-up...looked at him and he stopped, staring at her.

2. The elevator scene.

3. The father-daughter scene (when the dad gave her the electric fan while she was crying)

4. When Miggy was telling Laida everything at the family's mausoleum.

5. When Miggy told everyone at the board meeting that he doesn't care if they ridicule him but they should spare his family.

I'm going to miss this.

Forgiveness is a choice...it is a decision.

Till the next flick...
