Don't Give Up On Us Tikoy

The Chinese New Year is indeed nearing. Have received a special tikoy (ube-flavored) as a gift from a Chinese friend. For the Chinese, giving tikoy as a gift is lucky for the giver. We had tikoy as merienda for there are two boxes of tikoy at the office which we asked our canteen to cook for us. For a fee, of course. c",)

After office, decided to watch another movie. Since it is already on its second (or is it third?)week, am afraid that I might not catch it in the theaters. Thus, watched Don't Give Up On Us.

The movie is romance/ comedy/ light drama, all rolled into one. It is about Abby (Judy Ann Santos), a successful advertising executive who always wants to be in control, and Vince (Piolo Pascual), an aspiring rock singer. Their paths crossed when Abby went to Baguio to look for her best friend, Sabina, who is supposed to marry Abby's brother, Samuel. On their journey, the two, who are totally different from each other, fell in love. But things are not meant to be.

The second time their paths crossed, the two finally have the answer: "When you meet that one person you are meant to be with, would you be willing to give up everything you have just to be with him/her?"

There is chemistry between the two lead stars. And the repartee between them make the movie a gem. Even the scene where they are inside the jail is so natural, can't help for a giggle to escape.
