I write half of this unsolicited thoughts of mine last night and slept, kasi dinama ko pa din yung movie. And woke up to continue write whatever is on my mind, but still idk why its still heavy. This is my personal opinion and take sa movie. Watching this movie left me with a heavy heart, it is beautifully heart breaking. It made me realize things that I’ll enumerate below. So if you haven’t watched the movie, I suggest you stop reading from here. There will be spoilers. I’m warning you. 😉

Anne Curtis as usual, panalong panalo ang ganap. 🙌 Damang dama mo, and yet very sophisticated. Parang the whole time nanood ako ay puro praise kay Ate mo Anne, kahit anong angulo ne. Pinaramdam nya sakin na ang unfair ng life. 😂🙈🤣 Dyosang dyosa! She effortlessly delivered her role as Mae, a beautiful young wife of a successful and wealthy business man, Phil. She’s experienced, matured, and sophisticated however unhappy with her marriage.

And Marco Gumabao, which I would say that he gave justice to his role too. Pero kulang, kulang ng kanin yung baon ko sa sinehan kasi nasa harap ko na ang ulam! Hahahhak! At ang butt exposure cyst! 🍑 Yung pinaka aabangan hahahhaa! 🙈 Charing pero magaling to kasi his gestures and acting is great! He delivered it well, Just like the way he delivered his role to Los Bastardos! 💯✔️ 👏 His acting as a 19yr old baby boy that definitely knows how to fuck, immature, young and full of life but cant stand his ground because he values his relationship with his family and girlfriend.

Cinematography is also great! I love the colors, and scenes. Ang galing. 🙌 It gave the best story telling and ~*fEels*~ in each scene.

From those moments, yung sa lisbon, sa museum, sa town house, and yung pinaka heart breaking yung scene sa ending, when Mae had a dream about jekjek and saw that morning that he passed away, yung scene ni Anne sa veranda, yung scene sa kitchen na kita yung laway nya thats very authentic and yet damang dama mo. Ang galing! 👏

Maganda rin yung plot ng story. Mapapaisip ka tapos feeling mo alam mo na yung mga susunod na mangyayare pero girl you do note. Hahahak. Ang ganda. It was really heart breaking. So here’s some take aways after watching the movie.

* You will meet someone in your life unexpectedly, and in just a snap, yung buong mundo mo maiiba yung ikot.

* Cheating is never right, but we all have reasons. Its more than that. Girls dont cheat for sex, they cheat for love. On the other hand Boys cheat for sex.

* People will always have an option, and power to choose whatever they desire or truly want. But is afraid to face consequences with their choices.

* There will be events that will definitely affect the way you make decisions in life or moments that may cause you loneliness. But it was never enough reason to cheat on someone.

* The more you resist, the more it will come to you.

* Funny that somehow somewhere universe will collide for you to be in another situation you’re trying to avoid. Sometimes, sinusubok ka lang kung marupok ka pa o hindi. Wala kaso marupok ka e. 😂🙈

* You will meet someone, and in some level you are undeniably click. You learned a lot of good things about him. Theres connection between you and him. You will meet someone in strange time, and will make you feel special. Feelings that you never felt before, and there you are wishing that there will be something more. Because you allow to see perfection to somebody else.

* If you’re unhappy, leave. Be brave enough to take full responsibility of your actions and accept consequences. Like Mae, she was brave enough to choose Jericho and left everything for him and face her consequences.

* Everyone can make you feel loved, pero wag na baby boy. Masyado magkaiba yung timeline nyo sa life and you might just end up hurting each other. Thing is you’ll be willing to give up everything for him, pero sya he cant. And he wont. It just so happen na nakilala mo sya, nung mahina ka. Malungkot ka.

* “We’re going to pay for this..” Every actions, and decision you make in your life will have consequences. We have what we call Karma right?

SCENE STEALERS! Eto yung mga tumatak talaga sakin while watching the movie.

- That fart in the midst of their sex is hillarious! That shows sobrang comfortable na nila sa isa’t isa.

- Yung confession sa simbahan and yung reactions ni father hahaha

- That tricycle scene nung dumating yung girlfriend ni Jericho madam na madam si Anne

- That scene when Mae’s friend said,” Its either sobrang lungkot nito or sobrang saya” that club scene where she broke down

- DIABLITA! 👹

- That scene where she ranted to Jericho and did let him know that she left everything for him

- Iconic crying scene with a dripping saliva is a golden moment 👌 watch out!

This movie has the most powerful ending! Grabe lang! Twisted and heart breaking!

“No one, I’m just a stranger” this line!!! Cyst! Heart breaking! Kahit hindi ka heart broken ma bbroken heart ka teaaa!!

Crazy that you’ll meet someone, then you’ll be undeniably click, and immediately that the two of you, on some level, belong together. As lovers, as friends or something entirely different. You learned everything about him, the real him. Real things that made him, him. Amazingly you’ll know everything about him, but you’re not part of his world, not his reality.

Because you were just out there, you were a history that not everyone needs to know. Because not everyone will understand. And Sometimes, its fine that both you exist, once upon a time. Heart breaking it is that you’ll only remember them in your heart and mind, and you had special moments but not everyone will know, because you’re not allowed to be officially visible in his life, and that you were someone’s dirty little secret.

BUT AGAIN, CHEATING IS CHEATING AND IT WILL NEVER BE RIGHT. NO ONE DESERVE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT WONDERING WHATS WRONG WITH THEM.

Until now, sobrang bigat pa din cyst. Like anona self hahahhak anyway, OVERALL RATING 10/10 ⭐️💯

I wrote this and posted on facebook a year ago, and it was on my today’s memories. After Just a stranger was release in netflix few months after it was on cinemas I never had the chance to watch it again because it left me with a heavy heart because I was really moved and caught up with the story line, as in damang dama ko ganoin. 

So today I decided to watch it again, and sis here I am again with my heavy heart, same feels grabe talaga still cant get over with this freakin movie. It was really good.. and I cri again for the 898492302th time lol! I did took notes again and I realized that when you follow your emotions when you are vulnerable and unstable you end up messing up again. You end up making poor decisions thats why its really important to have a strong EQ so you wont end up hurting yourself or putting yourself in a situation where you dont even know the true meaning of love, or just the love you are looking for. 

We live in a day where God is our emotions, thats why we up making poor decisions to find the love we think we deserve. 

An unhappily married woman meets a younger man in Portugal, and the two fall in love despite their commitments to others.
