Thinking Out Loud: Isang Daang Tula Para Kay Stella

They will be spoilers! So, read this at your own risk.

This is a story about Fidel and how he created a world around Stella, the girl with black lipstick. The setting as in early 2000s. Fidel lacks confidence due to his speech defect, Stella was the front of a college band! This may be a case of opposites attracts. Other characters to take note of is Danica, Von and Chuck the beatboxing dormmate.

The Kaibigan ko lang sya line

Girls are hard to understand sometime, I'm sure more guys will agree with me. Heck, I find some of my girl friends and myself confusing too. We have the tendency to say  one thing but mean another thing. This movie for me is really about regret. Not being able to finish ones studies, not getting that one great dream, not being able to tell the love of your life that you love them.

This feel like he finally found something to keep him alive

It his a story about self discovery as well. Fidel found out that he can be normal and popular because of singing. Stella realized that all the guys her "loved" ends up feeling used by her. This is the part that made this story close to reality for me. Things don't always go the way you want it to go. Setbacks are a part of life, it is either you roll with it or just give up.

Love does not have reasons

The music is great, if you want to make it big as a singer or a band you will be able to relate to Stella. If you, you are trying to find a way to tell someone that you like or love them, this can help you realize that you need to tell that person how you feel before it is too late. Please don't try to write 100 poems that is going to take years. Again, this mode is about heartbreak and regret in a way. Learn from the characters' mistakes.

Spoilers below

There is a Danica in all of us. A person that lights up once the person they love or like is near. Yet, like Danica we sometime can never tell that person due to fear of losing the friendship we have with them. Von made this movie even more real which is great, but he scares me. One of his was "Dito ka lang! Mag sama tayo, pareho naman tayong walang wala eh!" something to that effect. It made me feel like he was stalking her from the longest time.

There you have it. You may not like the movie or the director or the actors but hey that is your opinion and you are entitled to voice it out. Just try to see it as a whole though. Let's be happy for if someone is happy. If that makes sense. XD
