i'm not exactly the kind of person who post stuff but i just have to get this out of my mind, so here goes.

i'm a motis shipper AND a rotis shipper, and after watching season 3 i'm just left confused and unsatisfied, here's why.

i have always believed that maeve and otis will be endgame, there's no doubt about it, even after witnessing the cuteness between ruby and otis in season 2 and lowkey shipping them, i still want maeve and otis to be "the" couple. I kinda knew that the writers are going to explore ruby and otis' relationship but i just never know what kind of relationship it's going to be. The first thing that comes in my mind was them having a casual fling and that's exactly what happened in season 3. But before the season dropped, i watched the trailer and i saw ruby and otis holding hands and i was like---hold up what the hell is going on!? because they look super cute together i can't---

Anyway, even tho i find them cute and all, i still can't get over maeve and otis, after 2 seasons of them NOT being together i just need them to finally be together in season 3 and so i even though i'm shipping both couple, im not really rooting for ruby and otis to be endgame---but then season 3 came along:)

after watching episode 1, and yes it was kinda weird at first but i can't help to think that ruby and otis---they just fit and the chemistry (props to asa and mimi) is just superb, and i find myself wanting more scenes of them together, but at this point i was very much still on the "maeve and otis endgame" boat, because that scene where they helped dex and those little smiles they shared, that scene is gold, and i don't know why but i feel like episode 1 is one of the few moments where maeve is still maeve? her character just seems off most of the time this season but episode 1 is not one of them and maybe that's why i was still shipping motis at the time.

Then episode 2 happpened, and the scene where otis wanted to make things "official", ruby's reply was almost immediate as if she was waiting for that question to pop out of his mouth for a loooong time, so i'm pretty sure she already has strong feelings for him way before they went public, and i just can't ignore that little detail. BUT just like in the previous episode, at this point i was still not sold on the idea of ruby and otis being endgame, and not ready to just throw maeve out of the picture, but at the same time i was also confused as to why the show wanted to get this deep with otis and ruby that they made them have a real relationship.

MOVING ON TO EPISODE 3, i just can't with this episode, the double date was not really a surprise for me because i've already watched the clip in some promotional article, BUT WHAT SURPRISED ME WAS HOW GOOD THE DATE WENT, the four of them just having fun, ruby getting along with adam, otis smilling at ruby before rolling the ball, and ofc otis helping ruby and THAT BIG SMILE ON RUBY'S FACE, i'm practically dead at this point. And i can't help but wonder as to why did the writers make this scene so good, because i always know that this ruby and otis thing is not going to last, but why did they make the four of them get along so well, and i was kinda wondering whether or not we will get a similar scene in the upcoming episodes BECAUSE IM LIVING FOR THEIR DYNAMIC, a very unexpected group of people and yet somehow they just get along. And don't even get me started with the whole otis meeting ruby's dad scene, the "otis this and otis that" line lives rent free in my head. After watching that scene i was like---this ruby and otis thing are going so well and getting even deeper what the hell is going on are they going to really be a 'thing' thing?---because even after them making it official i still haven't feel the emotional side of their relationship hence why i was still rooting for maeve and otis to be endgame, but after watching that scene, i'm not so sure anymore. But ofc all of my thoughts and wondering from the previous scene was crushed by the ending of this episode, like i understand that it had to happened but why then...? they were super happy a second ago and then just like that boom it's over, and yes i know even after a whole day spent with ruby, otis was still thinking about maeve and was about to call her, he's in love with the girl yes i know, but i mean it would've been very interesting to explore ruby and otis' relationship after all of that, because the way ruby talks on the phone that night and how her voice was super different than what it usually is just makes me wonder what could've been, it's just such a waste of potential because maybe then we would see some other side of ruby and otis' relationship, the more emotional side where ruby would be even more open, nicer to otis or vice versa where otis would open up about his problems too, idk there's a lot of other possibilities but i'm afraid we'll never going to find out(:

although i was super mad at this ending, after watching it i was kinda preparing myself for motis and i was like---okay that was fun and cute but let's get started with the real thing now---and then episode 4 was over, ruby and otis was over and that was it, i was super ready for maeve and otis.

And then episode 5 exist, the kiss was decent(?) and i'm super disappointed at myself for feeling that way but that's just how i feel even after watching it a few more times, and don't get me wrong before the season dropped i was really waiting for this moment and watching the second trailer where they were talking about the voicemail i swear to you i still got chills and was super excited but after it happened idk why but i just don't feel anything? i was confused at first as to why i was feeling the way i feel at the time, but i came to a conclusion that the kiss don't feel as satisying as it should be was because the lack of build up there is between maeve and otis AND THAT'S CRAZY i know. "What about the 2 previous seasons? are those build ups not enough for you?" I KNOW i get it but they barely had any scene together before the kiss, even if they do it was not meaningful at all. Maeve was with isaac at the moment (another thing that i want to point out about maeve not being maeve is that how quickly she forgive and made up with isaac, being friends? on speaking terms again? sure, but hooking up so soon idk man) and she doesn't even look or get jealous like she was when otis and ola were together, it lacks those kind of little moments for me and so that's why i said maeve and otis lack some quality build up this season.

And after convincing myself that i had enough of ruby and otis, they just had to show her face like that looking at maeve and otis, my god why, and the fact that she just plainly admit that she doesn't hate him and that it would be so much easier if she did, i just-- AND OFC when kyle was going on and on with his speech about love, ruby was looking at otis WHAT A TORTURE.

But even after all of that i was still rooting for maeve and otis (maybe i'm in some sort of state of denial idk), but then maeve said she likes isaac and that they have some good things going on, and then this whole love triangle scenario happened between otis maeve and isaac in which i don't really care, i usually love this kind of scene but idk there's no more angst between otis and maeve and so i'm at a point where i was like---okay cool go be with isaac then---and then the rain kiss happened which for me was worse than the first kiss, i got zero feelings from it, maybe it's just me. And i'm kinda sad about it because when i saw it on the trailer i just can't wait to see it, but well what can i say. BUT even after that i still put my trust on them to draw me back, and then the opportunity came, otis was at his most vulnerable when he was waiting for his mom, and then he texted maeve AND I WAS LIKE OMG THIS IS IT GO AND COMFORT HIM, but hey guess what happened? nothing. Like wtf are the writers trying to do? why can't maeve just go to the hospital? why can't we see them having any emotional or meaningful scene i just don't get it, why make them a thing and then only make them just text each other? and the next time they meet it was a freaking farewell scene like what??? i was so ready to be into them again but it's like the writers refrain them from developing or having a "real" relationship, maybe they're saving those scenes and moments for season 4? i get it but ONE SCENE WON'T HURT we've waited 3 freaking seasons and i don't get why they can't give us that BUT still make them a thing? like i'm finally fine with the idea of them not being endgame and be with other people, but then the show made them a thing again only for maeve to go to america, i just don't get it.

Like am i supposed to ship a couple that barely interacted throughout the season and when the opportunity finally came for the writers to create a very heartfelt scene to make people be into them again and make them the superior couple again, BUT THEY DIDN'T UTILIZE IT!? that's why i'm so confused where the writers are going with all of this, i'm super fine and ofc happy that maeve went to america to pursue her education, but why can't they give us just ONE scene that could possibly make them make sense again.

And I don't really know why there are some parts of this season that just feels so rushed, the whole maeve deciding that she will be going to america thing was just wrapped up in like a second, i don't know if the rumors are true but by the way the story kinda feel forced by the end of it makes me wonder if emma mackey really is leaving the show, that's the only thing that i can think of as to why maeve and her story feels very off this season. Or maybe even if she's not leaving then maybe she's going to have a smaller role? idk but i hope not because it won't be the same without her.

And so because i haven't really see how maeve and otis would work in a relationship and the fact that even after 3 seasons they still can't be 'together' together and i just don't feel anything between them anymore, i can't help but find myself rooting for otis and ruby to be endgame. Maybe it's just asa and mimi doing a fantastic job at portraying these characters and having an amazing chemistry, but still the potential that this couple holds is just--there's so much things that could be explored with ruby and otis, like i get it that some people think that their relationship was toxic because ruby this and ruby that but it's not like otis was blackmailed or forced to be in that relationship, it was in fact otis that suggested them to be "official" and the whole "ruby tried to change otis" argument is just not really relevant(?) because the moment otis said that he doesn't want to do all that ruby agrees and just go with it. If it went on for weeks or months even to the point where otis is just pressured to do so until he just gets tired of ruby thats a different story, but it was just for one day and yes i know her actions can't be justified just based on the duration of it, but what i'm saying is after otis speak up his mind ruby respect that and didn't force him to do anything afterwards. And otis was totally on board with it because he wanted to 'keep having super amazing casual sex', soooo for everyone that's saying ruby 'abused' otis... idk i think that's a bit of a reach, but ofc you're entitled to your own opinion.

Speaking of otis speaking up his mind, otis when he's with ruby for me at least, is a better version of otis, he's just so much more confident and assertive. And the whole double date scene, i don't think i've ever seen otis that happy and free and having so much fun before. People also like to point out that ruby doesn't have any development this season because she's still mean, and yes i get it she's not exactly the nicest person around and she doesn't really treat otis like the person she's in love with, but do you expect her to change every bit of herself just because she started dating otis? that's not how it works, it's all a process, step 1 was her letting her walls down and letting other people in (in this case it was otis), step 2 was for her to realize that it's okay to be vulnerable and that she doesn't have to put on the mean girl persona just so she won't get hurt, etc etc. But we haven't seen those other parts yet because their relationship was cut short to make room for the non-existent relationship of maeve and otis.

Anyway a little disclaimer that this whole rant is not for me to defend any character or justifying their actions, because i don't hate or love some character more than the other characters, because at the end of the day they're just characters. If anything this is more of a shot at the writers, and no i'm not saying that they are bad writers because if they're bad i won't be this invested in their show, i'm just confused as to where they're going with all of this, because they create a lot of potentially interesting and refreshing storyline with these new couples but then they sort of just went back to maeve and otis in which up to this point are STILL not really 'together' together.

So yeah i am rooting for ruby and otis to be endgame but i just don't think that's going to be the case, i mean otis literally said maeve is his person, so i don't see any scenario of ruby and otis being endgame. And if rotis did become endgame because emma is leaving the show that would just be even more unsatisfying, that wouldn't feel right, like the couple happened just because of some external factors but not earned(?) if that make sense. So, even tho rotis is highly unlikely to be a thing again and i really can't see any possible way for them to be endgame, i'm still somewhat rooting for them and hoping for the writers to prove me wrong.

Im Back.

Boy, how time flies fast when you’re busy keeping things feel right. I mean, they’re supposed to be. I’m going to make this update as quick as i can and as precise as i can, bet i cant do both tho lmao.

It has been approximately 3 weeks since Rock Bottom (i guess it’s what you call it? Well, close.) and things has been quite, nice.

The month of July has really been a journey of what felt like forever. Today is the 12th of the month and i have come to the point where i realised that the mind is the only thing that keeps us from doing or achieveing something that we want. And this applies to a couple of situations:

I learned how to do a buck tuck.

This is one of the few things i achieved as i underwent through a “therapaeutic healing” after the incident. I surrounded myself with the few people that im friends with in our Pep Squad and fortunately my friend Dapitanon, P. also had a common friend which made our days more progressive. Just the act of cheering for each other to do one’s best really lifts everyone’s morale.

“It’s really all in the mind.”

We ARE physically capable of doing things but our mind seems to think that there’s an invisible obstacle that prevents us from pursuing what we want to achieve. I realise this as we were practicing for a back tuck, which i proudly achieved (with a spotter pa hehe). But that achievement was already some proof that if i can have control over my body, i can do all things if i just believe just enough to do it right. Heck, I think I’ll attach my tuck video somewhere on here.

1st of July.

We went to a dog cafe.

Idk what’s with me but i really like to do something special at least once a month with him and WITHOUT telling him. After all, I can’t just let myself be carried away with the emotions that lead me almost to the verge of thinking it was over, right? So despite our awkwardness and difference of treatment (slight), I still picked him up (with miraculously good timing too) with our Navara and was able to use it for the whole day before returning it back to my Granddad’s. Did i mention he got car sick? It was the cutest. (Am i weird for saying that? Doesn’t matter tho lmao) i thought of going to the dog cafe cause i was thinking, “Hey dogs can like help with your mental and emotional health right? So why the frick not.” Im surely going to post a little GIF here somewhere on how cute the doggos were. And when i tell you, dogs CAN bring the purest out of anyone. We literally were like talking to babies man and boy the dogs were HUUGE, only the pugs were like “hey hooman u can luv me unlyk diz oder bitchez” haha. But if ever things do go well for us in the future, we are DEFINITELY going to get a golden retriever man. It’s my dream!

Anyways, we also got to watch our first movie as “barkada pero gusto ang isat isa” or BPGAII, it was Toy Story 4. And bitch, dont get me started on how we were wondering if it was a child’s movie or not coz boi, we did NOT like the jump scares at ALL. But still, me being an emotional, soft potato, it still made me cry in the end. The meaning behind was great it was all about taking the risk, which was kind fitting? For him at least hekhek. Basically Woody chose to be with his hoe, Bo, for Buzz, his bro. But this aint no movie review so, *boop.

I gave him my skin care?

Ok tbh this was so random right. He realised my skin was glowing better (coz bitch, we aint lettin no sadness ruin this skin ya feel?) so he asked what was i using cos he was contemplating on his gorgeous face that he was getting ugly now. (The audacity, am i right?? Lol) so i CLEARLY (no pun intended) put into the effort of giving him some travel bottles and put in some samples of what moisturiser and micellar water i was using right, and i guess it worked out well? I also got to drive it TO him still. But the good side of this was i was able to be with my Granddad and spend some time together as his driver hihi.

LADY DRIVER.

So I’m getting good at this driving thing right, as driving from Malaybalay to Cagayan, Davao to Tagum and vice versa, Tagum to Maco and back. So i might as well be good at city driving and yall cant tell me otherwise lol,

(SIDENOTE:except for the fact i got stopped by the Yellow Ranger in Ecoland coz i was at the left lane at a traffic light and my mom told me to go straight WHICH WAS WRONG I GUESS THATS A THING RIGHT, so i was almost charged 1500 pesoses. But thank Heezuz i was with my mom and she was able to talk through the officer but sadly we had to name drop my Granddad since he was a known regional director at LTO before. Sorry Pops, i swear it’ll be the first and last time.)

Back to real time, i helped him with his errands and was really lucky with the timing coz my Dad went off for a trip and my mom was left with his car. So yup, got the chance to borrow it for half of the day and drove all the way to Maa to get a keyboard his friend is letting him use for the mean time, her name is Jen and she’s the sweetest. (No backstory will be dropped for privacy). Aight, so we drove back to their house at Magallanes but didn’t have enough time to say hi to his folks coz it was noon and they were on siyestas, right. I still regret why i didnt like fake-pee or something tho. HahahahahahahDONTJUDGE. We ate for some late lunch at SML and felt korek coz before we joke about “asa ta nag park?” And now we get to be in the situation haha. It’s funny coz just when i thought things were detoriating between us, the world just chooses to keep things tight and close and say something like “oh, u guys are having an emotional conflict and struggle about ur relationship? Here are things that only REAL couples do and i hope u enjoy em!!” Dumbass. Jokes aside, I drove him home and goodbyes are still awkward, but i was starting to understand the type of ‘low-key’ he means.

Usapang Gym.

Oh wow it’s already the fifth point. If you manage to read this far, congrats! You get nothing but to keep on reading this rollercoaster wreck lmao. I wasn’t expecting he would pay the whole month at our gym and expects me to come with him. And it came to me: i kept on thinking that i should ask for assurance but in reality, he really does mean what he said about just being “me”. Things were different but things also got better. It’s like losing some and gaining some right? Like a body excrcising, losing weight, gaining muscle, idk its a weak analogy but its close enough for yall to understand. It’s our first week today, (it’s Friday) i hope i could keep up tho haha. I guess I’ll keep progress updated? Idkidkidk. Also, i got to mention thats he is VAIN af. Idk if its a good thing or just a tragedy waiting to happen haha. I also became his coach, (oha san kapa haha), he told me he wanted help with increasing his verticle as he would help me with abdominals. So i bought sets of ankle weights only to find out the first one didnt suit him so i had to buy another set. AND IT WAS HALF THE PRICE I BOUGHT THE FIRST SET AND IT WAS BETTER. Prices will be disclosed. (250) So i like, i do my own workout right and he suddenly shows his hot-headed side of things coz he was upset he had to go home early coz there was this no-towel-no-workout policy at my gym so we had to cut our day short.

In times like these, my mind just goes to places to different situations. All the what-ifs start filling up my mind on how he could react to other situations that would cause a similar effect on what his character was showing right. But in the end, i still give kudos to myself coz im able to keep up and cope with how quick his personality changes sometimes. And sometimes, im the one with a crack on the head lmao. Well, most of the time.

TAKE AWAYS.

Fast forward to this very moment, its 11:30 in the evening and im recalling all of this on a positive note. Today was an addition to a great day we had as a rest day from gym. We watched Spiderman: Far From Home and i guess its now my current favorite and HAD to watch it twice.

Speaking of Twice, bruh i want to do a dance cover so bad of #Fancy or #YesOrYes coz i been itching and the choreo is sooo goood! Not to mention Twice was in Manila last 29th of June. *sighs in broke* but i cant say it was the best concert from them coz there were complications like Jungyeon had a sty and was wearing an eye patch the whole concert, Dahyun got sick after along with Mina who wont be attending the 2019 Twicelights Worldtour because she gets anxiety attacks and feels insecure about performing on stage suddenly. I mean i know you got no idea what im talking about but its just sad to think of the fact that even someone so adored by many people, someone who has great physical, social and emotional support, can still feel the lack of these mentally. And if you’re one of those people who feels anxious about anything? I hope you get well soon and i hope you find the true meaning of your purpose in this simulation, because you are not alone. x

In addition to almost wrapping this up, i also treated myself again something from Adidas (coz again, bitch, if no man gon treat me i gon treat myself! HAHA!) which i later on realise i now own 3 bags from there and thinking to get a fourth one....someone help me¿ i also have to mention i already treated myself about a week ago (🎶) by waxing my own axillae, grooming my own brows, a gorgeous lippie from Beauty Cottage called Elegant Impressionist shade #9 Byzantine for half its original price haha, nothing beats fishing me through a sale. Speaking of treat, my Dad gave me my first pair of Tigers man and i cant help but tell yall its the same pair that the He wanted and it totally pissed him off that i got the pair he wanted first so bad and now he doesn’t know what to do coz he’s afraid if we have the same pair we might wear it at the same time and it would be cringy and weird (now for normal people that would sound cute right, matching kicks and all. But no. Not in this lifetime.), since im just blabbering of how im spoiling myself might as well end it here folks.

Guess I’ll keep you updated on how stuff might go on from now since class is fast approaching. Tomorrow I guess I’ll be attending a send-off party for our friend she’s going to the U.S soon. Oh, did i mention the re-run for Endgame is out? 🤔
