(NOTE:
This is a late blog entry. On March 4, 2020, my close friend, Belen
Crescini, called me up and told me she and Nelia were going to see a movie and
asked me if I'd like to go with them. I said yes so we went to the Ayala Malls Cinema.)

"Hindi Tayo Pwede" starred Marco Gumabao, Lovie Poe and Tony Labrusca.
The movie was about lovers Tony and Lovie and best of friends Marco and Lovie.
When Tony met a car accident that took his life, his ghost kept on following Lovie. Lovie was the only person who could still see, touch, feel and talk to him.
Marco then had the chance to express his love for Lovie whom he had secretly loved for so long. Lovie eventually fell for Marco, too, but the jealous ghost interfered and would not let go of Lovie.
On one occasion, while Lovie was driving, Tony's ghost kept on nagging her until she lost control of the car and met an accident. Lovie, however, survived the incident.
When Lovie was rushed to the hospital, Tony felt guilty and sorry for what had happened.
As Marco was attending to Lovie, he sensed the presence of Tony's ghost and pleaded with him to just forget about Lovie since they now belonged to different worlds. And Tony obliged.
MY REACTION
Love can sometimes be fleeting. Short-lived.
But love can also be so enslaving that it becomes a controlling spirit that interferes in unhealthy ways in our lives. If this is the case, we should try our best to free ourselves from this irrational force so as to be guided by reason.
There are also other things and persons that control and lead us to living miserable lives -- traumatic past experiences, an oppressive leader or boss, a domineering parent, or even customs and traditions that no longer apply to the present. We MUST break away from these controlling spirits in order to keep our sanity intact.
But, of course, this is easier said than done.
