July 23, 2017.

Our school assignment was to visit the Ayala Museum and write a two-page paper about it. I didn't want to go alone and so I asked my boyfriend to come with me. We've wanted to have a "museum date" for so long and finally we were able to. Being in a long distance relationship and having two hectic schedules doesn't really give us much time.

But this post isn't about that.

It's the satisfaction of finally being able to do something you've always wanted to do, and have your special someone experience it with you.

As a couple, we value learning a lot. We met in back in college and while I have gone a separate way that what we've imagined, we've always reminded each other that lessons are not just in school but around us. We've always challenged each other and have never run out of topics to debate and argue about. I feel very blessed to have him in my life, despite all the ups and downs.

While going around the museum, we were talking about our future, that we hope someday our future kids would share the same love for learning, the interest in looking back in our history and celebrating the uniqueness that is our very own.



This post was inspired by this post: Satisfaction







Esta sectu! The most awaited crossover is happening!Image result for mulawin vs ravena teaser july

OMFL GUYS. Finally! The moment we've all been waiting for!

The Mulawin vs. Ravena and Encantadia crossover!

This is so important the I have broken my blog hiatus two weeks earlier than I planned! (Just kidding, I already broke that yesterday.)

Like seriously. My previous post was all sad and mellow and then this post is brimming with excitement! I'm sorry, I just can't contain myself. I've missed my Sangg'res and seeing them again onscreen is just pure happiness!


And of course, as if I didn't have enough things on my plate, I just had to tackle this question:
How does the Mulawin vs. Ravena and Encantadia story arcs intersect?!

Personally, I'm asking this because I have a few plot holes I'd like to discuss.

MVR follows the Mulawin: The Movie Story Arc, but only up to the part where Aguiluz dies. MTM's ending was Alwina, Aguiluz and Almiro flying away because Aguiluz was brought back to life during Hara Amihan's reign. Additionally, Pirena has yet to evolve, seeing as she was the one who brought Ravenum back to life. Pirena's transition was completed after Imaw's intervention and reunion with her sisters, still within Amihan's reign. These details also correspond with the Encantadia 2005 (all three books) story arc.

However, because the Encantadia 2016 is a requel (it stopped following the 2005 storyline by the 45th episode), it poses a few (a lot) of issues.

Before I divulge those, however, let's lay down some ground rules for this post. Please note that these are merely my observations, and how I see things. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comment section!

Avila is on the top of Mt. Apo
Mt. Apo, Ed-hen, Lake Venado and Halconia are in Avalon
Avalon, Lireo, Sapiro, Hathoria, Adamya and Etheria are in Encantadia
Encantadia and the Mortal World co-exist but are in different dimensions

With that said, here are the plotholes I've noticed;

* During the reign of Hara Durie Amihan, Pagaspas was in training to be a general, and doesn't have his ugatpak.

* In Mulawin vs. Ravena, Pagaspas would approximately be 14-16 years old, and is not in training. (okay, not so sure about this one, still on Episode 27. I'll update if needed)

* During Hara Durie Pirena's reign, the Mulawin bloodline was ravaged by the Hathors with only Pagaspas and Lakan as survivors. Their exposure ended with them looking for other Mulawins
--> possible plothole solution

In Mulawin vs. Ravena, the Mulawin is well up on its feet and the Ravena kingdom thriving at the very least.

During the last war of Encantadia, there are no Mulawins in sight, further implying the race's extinction.

The promotional teasers show Pirena and Lira. Pirena has her default warrior outfit and Lira has her golden armor. This could mean two things - 1. This happens during Amihan's reign and Pirena has not yet evolved as a character or 2. This happens during Danaya's reign and Pirena's a good character.

Both are fine by me, as long I see them again onscreen. How they use the characters on the show will definitely be something to watch out for!


But of course, all that was ruined (just kidding) when I decided to visit the Mulawin Wiki site and saw this infographic.

Long story short, I'm combining the wrong story arcs. Hehe.

I enjoyed the brainstorming though!

Avisala eshma for reading this and avisala meiste!

P.S. No hate, please. I made all the fan theories prior to seeing the infographic.





 



It's 1am right now at and I'm not sure when I'll finish this post, but I hope what I do write will be immortalized by the internet.

    I am no longer fearless.

For the past few days the most vivid emotion I have is fear. I am scared to sleep, scared to wake up, scared to go out, scared to face people. My anxiety levels are as high as it was nearly five years ago when.. that's another story tell, maybe in the future when I'm ready to share. But, yes. These anxiety levels are slowly but surely climbing up and it's threatening my whole curated system of me.

    How long till I breakdown?

I would have never thought that this would happen, with all the things I have that's grounding me.

I am lost.

In my pursuit of finding myself, I lost myself.

How oxymoronic right?

How the hell do you lose something you're looking for while looking for it? It's already gone in the first place!

And writing it down just confirms my innermost thoughts.

I already had me.

I was already myself years ago. I already knew who I was. I already knew what I want, where I want to be and how to get there. I knew what I liked, hated, loved, treasured, cherished.

I loved to create. I loved to write, paint, compose songs, produce videos and challenge myself to make my ideas come to life. I liked sharing my thoughts with other people. I liked to argue and debate and counter ideas just for the hell of it.
















Hmm. Why does this sound like a post I've already done?

I'm so sorry to diffuse the mood but I needed to take a break because I was falling asleep. Give me a moment to recover.

Um, yeah. It's 4am now and reading this unfinished post that I have, I feel some sort of sadness from it. Right now I no longer feel sad because I've had 3 cups of coffee, but reading these words I can feel just how lost I am. How much of this misdirection was being covered up by cups of coffee and energy drinks and bingeing and starving and sleeping.

Damn, I never meant this to be an emotional post but I guess that's how this will turn out.






Dear little lost me, come back to me.

I don't know how or when or where, but remember that I'll do all that I can to get you back, starting with reconnecting with one of my truest creative roots -- writing.

Hang in there.
