Maine Mendoza (Yayadub), Alden Richards and Julie Anne San Jose Love Triangle?

Well, here's something that have intrigued me once again. Having shared my thoughts on the current growing fever here in the Philippines, alas! I found out something intriguing. Though I know it has something to do of the past, about 2-3 years ago. Because it seems, before AlDub, there was a DenLie.

As I have said on my previous post, I usually don't write things about such things. But perhaps because of this infectious fever, research and wanting to know more have led me to uncover some things that probably should have been buried.

It is indeed something that concerns the past, and it seems even to this time there are few people who still hope for a coming back of DenLie Love Team. But with the Aldub Love Team at its peak or even growing further, this may be less of a possibility. But things can change! As they say, change is the only permanent thing in this life. But hey, I'm not taking side on this matter.

It's just interesting and intriguing, that my online search for information and details have pushed me to uncover such an issue, which of course I previously have not bothered until now. By the way, I must say "I somewhat have a crush on Julie Anne San Jose". Typical for a guy, I presume. Something that I never expected to find out or it really surprised me upon knowing about the "Denlie" love team.

Furthermore, reading comments and even negative comments or "bashes" on JAPS (Julie Anne), made me feel sad for JAPS. Made me wonder, "Has she done something wrong to receive such rude comments and bashes?" I have no idea. As I've previously said, I'm not really much into showbiz. It's just these times, things seem to be crazy. Haha! I also like Aldub though, and as I've shared previously, I like the craziness of Yaya Dub or Maine. Her personality, I believe, can easily touch someone's heart. Well, to be honest, all I can say is that these are just my own observations and my own judgments. And I understand, I may be wrong... or I may be right. Nevertheless, I just want to share my thoughts. Putting the things in my mind to words, lest I go crazy thinking about it. Hehe! And furthermore, I do not wish to offend anybody by writing these things.

Now, where was I? Well, going back to JAPS for the mean time, and in relation to Alden, it seems they really have a history - based from the documentations (or youtube videos) posted by Denlie fans. Observing their personalities, as always Alden is the quiet type of person (I think) and still manifests a gentleman, nice guy kind of personality. Not to mention, he has really good looks (a thing guys really envy, I suppose). Whereas, JAPS (I think) almost has the same kind of personality. I mean, the sweet-type silent shy-type kind of girl (just a hunch). By the way, some seem to really bash her with her looks, which I really don't understand. As if those who bash her are perfect? Anyway, that's just how people are. There are sooooo many kinds of people. I mean attitude and character. And it is really quite hard to deal with all of them. I mean how does one adjust to these many kinds of characters of people. Well, as they say, "we can't please everybody." So thing is, I hope people would really learn not to say negative things against someone else. If Maine herself said something like this (I just don't remember where, but I think in twitter), why can't others who support Maine do as what she says. Anyway, some would just really like to have fun teasing others. I have had friends like those, and I just simply ignore their teasing. But if many people does this thing to you - bashing, negative comments, etc. I wonder how one feels and deals with it, one who has a weak standing point would really give-in and indeed may lead to depression. And, let's face it, people who suffer depression often end up on the wrong end. And most often, people just don't care.

Well, if I were to advice these showbiz pipz, (I'm not saying I'm expert on this matter, but at least I could share perhaps.) learn to hold on to people who love you and  who care for you. Cherish them and ignore those others. Surely there are those who love and cherish you. And if you can't find one, I tell you, there is One! And that is God! If you don't believe me, read the Bible, especially the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John! You'll see how loving God is. If you still don't see it, then I pity you. If you can't still see God's Love, look at the cross where Jesus showed His great love for us. He didn't have to die, and yet He laid down His life for us. That is God's Amazing Love!

Now, before I preach, let me go back to showbiz. So there, having discovered the past secret(?) relationship of Alden and JAPS. I don't know if it was a real and personal thing, but their action speaks louder. Nevertheless, that ended in a very mysterious way, which leaves people really, really wondering. If I would put myself on Alden's shoes, I think he had his reasons. And I think, one of those reasons was kind of protecting JAPS image, I suppose. Well, that's just my thoughts. And probably also relates to his (Alden's) own career. Well, as I've said, these are just my thoughts. And I just want to express it in writing.

But after 2 or 3 years. Things indeed have changed! Many things, especially for Alden. His career seem to have boosted so high! Like sky rocket!!! And that is because of Maine's arrival to showbizness. And of course, the reality of her having a crush on Alden. Which I think sparked and boosted their careers. And of course, with the twist of coincidences, people would call "destiny" or whatever. With people intrigued and like me wanting to know more, truly secrets can be uncovered. A reason why some folks would really go to the extend bashing one against the other. A very tiring one actually or irritating for that matter. But anyway, I just hope there won't be very devastating effects on people for that matter.

On the other hand, I was thinking. Could the "kalyeserye" of Eat Bulaga keep up with the demand of having a longer period of showing scenes for kalyeserye? I wonder how will writers and thinkers add up their story, which should still hook up people into watching it. Most often, if I'm right, stories are made with conflicts. To make stories go longer, conflicts has to be made. I don't think a "kilig" moments only would suffice. Like a normal teleserye, writers tend to make conflicts to resolve, in order for the story to keep on going. Else, the serye would die. Hmm? just a pop in my mind. What if? they would bring JAPS into the scene? Haha! I would guess, really many reactions and the like... maybe violent reactions too! Hehe! But I know it's a dangerous thing! I do not want someone to get hurt for that matter. And, surely people will know who will get hurt. Well that is just what's running in my mind. A dangerous and critical one. Thing is, the result is also hard to imagine.

Well, imagining it, it is cruel and chaotic! And there are possibilities of heart breaking events! Oh well, just crazy! I wonder...

THOUGHTS ON ALDUB / MAIDEN PHENOMENON 2015

It is interesting that this phenomenon has invaded Philippines, even all throughout the world where Filipinos can be found. It is not hidden that there are other shows that have stormed the nation, but this happening or "aldub fever", as it is called, is something unique and different. And to be honest, it makes me laugh thinking that I want to write my thoughts about this. Because never, I mean NEVER, have I ever written something that is connected to a show or something like this.

I want to write about this, because I think I'm so much affected by it and can't stop thinking of it. And whenever that happens, I usually want it to turn my thoughts into words. In simpler words, I think I have the symptoms of this kind of fever. I hate it, but what can I do? It hit me unknowingly! and it was like a silent criminal hitting out of nowhere! Anyway where do I start?

I'll probably start on how I probably am affected. Though I think, I can't remember the exact whole process how I was hooked up. And to be honest, it feels like an addiction that I am currently struggling with, trying not to be eaten alive! But seriously, how severe are my symptoms? Well symptoms include: being active on twitter, even tweeting for that matter (which I really don't do), watching videos that are connected to aldub / maiden fever, of course watching the kalyeserye of Eat Bulaga, reading comments and writings about them, even checking on their accounts on facebook and twitter, etc... It's really crazy!

I thought to myself, why so affected and why people are affected? On my opinion, it's probably because the "kalyeserye" is close to a reality show. At first, watching "yayadub" (or Nicomaine Dei Capili Mendoza, Maine for short) at her first appearances, she was really not that appealing because of her role. Her face really wasn't friendly and she probably did well portraying what she was told to portray. And if I'm right, girls and ladies before did not put much attention too on Alden (real name: Richard Reyes Faulkerson, Jr. and screen name: Alden Richards) before, comparing it today. Having heard some girls and feedbacks from people whom I knew about the episode with Alden, it got me curious and I tried watching it. I don't remember what episode I watched but I really noticed something different or perhaps a development on the show. Yayadub who I saw at first, before the meet-up with Alden, was not appealing perhaps due to her "taray" style. Suddenly things changed into something different. The sense of reality is seen on yayadub's actions. And, having the  knowledge that yayadub has a crush on Alden proves it to be realistic. And when it comes to real things, I believe people respond the same way. People feel the real emotions, and not some kind of a made-up forced emotion on viewers.

I really seldom watch love stories, because I know it is not real and it is just scripted. Sometimes you know it is non-sense or things actors do is known to be unrealistic, because it is scripted. You become affected only when you relate to the actions they do, which are written in the script. But with the events in kalyeserye being partly reality and unscripted, it makes it really different. Well, I'll say it... it does have very much what they call "kilig", that even men or "brusko" pipz get the chills. It's funny and really interesting, how Yaya Dub / Maine and Alden chemistry affects people. But I think the main factor with this Aldub fever is Maine or Yayadub. Having the knowledge that she is just new to TV media, and her being part of a live show makes a whole new different kind of genre of show. But to categorize it, it is really more of like the reality shows (e.g. Survivor or Amazing Race).

Someone previously commented that it is like a fad. Probably because of how fast and how such a phenomenon has spiked so high in a few period of time. I thought of this too, and still thinking of it as of now. Though reading some comments, many supporters think of it differently. Nevertheless, it is just an opinion. But to further elaborate on my thoughts why I think it is fad is that I try to imagine, "what if the 'kilig' factor is lost or what if Yayadub's supposed "secret crush" on Alden becomes cold or lost?". This might change things as well.

Nevertheless, I would also comment that if the fans would really continue to untiringly support them whether the "crush" factor diminishes, the Aldub can maintain its level. But surely it will not be forever. It will also go down at some point. Because people are not always the same or in other words, people change. But certainly, it will never be the same for Maine and Alden.

Just observing how girls and ladies react to Alden's presence proves something has changed. In previous Juan-for-All, All-for-Juan, Yaya Dub wasn't being noticed and few wanted to take pictures and interact with Yaya Dub, but now? Eat Bulaga had to protect her from mobs and won't allow her to join the "Sugod Bahay" segment. I observed one time those that were guarding them walk, had to be harsh in pushing the people away from Yayadub or from the JOWAPAOs. The crowd was like growing crazy!

Now, people are arguing, debating, defending and offending one another because of this "Aldub fever". Such are my observations. And of course, I do not wish to be part of such pointless arguments. I just want to enjoy watching and observing the show and the people. But seriously? I like Maine's kind of crazy personality. Hehe! And with Alden's shy-kind mister nice guy personality. The two opposite personality attracts one another. BUT that's just my opinion. And I do not wish to push or force them to be someone they don't like to be. =)
