watched with sian, again! i think muntik na hindi matuloy but like, he needed a distraction so i tried my best to be available for him. honestly, i had been pretty lost for a good amount of time while watching. gets ko pa nung una e, and then i just had so many thoughts running through my head and dagdag pa yung pasikot ng conversation nina jesse and celine throughout the film, god damn was i frustrated. i had to pause near the end and have sian explain to me just where the fuck we were. on the other hand, sian had been very pissed off kay celine most of the time, pero mas na-gets naman namin both bandang dulo na. for me, i was very understanding (ako pa ba 😘) towards both characters and tried to explain to him what i could. their personalities changed — as it would with the nine years that passed — but it was a lot to take in. celine’s newfound pessimism and the way she always contradicted herself caught us off-guard, honestly. plus, gulat kami kay jesse! we thought he was being sarcastic but no! he is legitimately married! (and with a kid!) and celine has a bf! it was a good sequel, with an amazing ending. we were actually initially confused by the gradual blackening of the screen, but once the realization set in, mapapa-applause ka nalang talaga. (tangina, what happened with celine’s bf though?) celine’s song was also pretty good. i embraced myself for the possible secondhand embarrassment but the waltz ended up being so ganda :)
