NADE-DEVELOP na nga ba si Maine Mendoza kay Alden Richards? Kung babasahin mo kasi ang napakahabang entry ng Dubsmash Queen sa kanyang blog mukhang may “something” na nga sa pagitan ng dalawang Kapuso stars.
Dito ibinandera ni Maine kung paano siya pinaligaya ni Alden noong 21st birthday niya na ginanap sa Boracay at kung paano niya na-discover ang tunay na “RJ”. Narito ang ilang bahagi ng blog entry ni Maine: “Nope, scratch that, with Richards Faulkerson Jr.
Not even a second, have I ever felt like I was with the Pambansang Bae. (You know what I mean).”From the moment we hopped inside the boat until his goodbye hug, not even once did I catch a glimpse of the Alden Richards we normally see on TV.
“He was different; he was his normal self. He was like a normal guy – more like a kid – having fun. He was enjoying every moment and you could see it in his gleaming eyes. Gleaming eyes that nobody gets to see regularly. “He needed this time off; he needed to take a break from everything even just for a little while.
“And aside from being oh-so happy that he surprised me, the fact that he got to take a day off to unwind and have REAL fun meant so much more. You deserved the short break, RJ. I am so happy you had fun.” Dito rin inilahad ni Yaya Dub kung paano siya sinorpresa ni Alden sa Bora.
Hindi na raw kasi niya talaga inasahan na makakarating ang Pambansang Bae sa kanyang party. “Knowing Alden’s mega hectic schedule, I did not really expect that he’ll be able to join us; but I did hope that he could do something about it, since it’s my birthday. (Plus he pink promised that he will try his very best!)
“I kept on asking him for updates day by day because I don’t want to get too excited and end up disappointed in the end. “It was on Monday (2 days before my birthday and 5 days before the Bora trip) when he sent me a text message from his management saying they couldn’t do anything about the commitment Alden has to carry through on the same date of my planned celebration.
“Few days before, he was asking me such things like, ‘So yung Sunday yung parang free day natin? Ang balik natin is Tuesday mor-ning?’ which led me to the assumption that there’s a big chance the he’d come. “I didn’t respond to his message for I was really sad at that moment.
‘Ang aga-aga, Lunes na Lunes tapos ganito mababasa mo?!’ I was really mentally shrieking.” Pagpapatuloy ni Maine, “It was also on that day when he told me during the Sugod Bahay portion. ‘May surprise ako sa ‘yo sa birthday mo sa Thursday, tapos sa Saturday and after Saturday’ which made me feel even more annoyed.
“I responded with ‘Wag ako Alden, funny ako’ instead of ‘Ano, nang-aasar ka ba talaga Alden?!’ “Even so, I still had this feeling that he MIGHT surprise me but I just shrugged the thought of it; I don’t want to end up disappoin-ted again!” “Nagtampo ako kay Alden. (lol) I stand corrected – six days ang tampo ko (Monday til Saturday), not four, as I had mistakenly declared. Haha!
“I kept on telling Ate Pat every single day how upset I was, yet she also kept on sa-ying ‘Wag ka na malungkot, gagawa ng paraan yun.’ “People around me kept on giving clues but I persis-ted in ignoring all of it.” Speechless daw si Maine nang bumulaga si Alden sa harap ng kanyang hotel room.
“The time we spent at the boat travelling from each place to another was the chance for us to chat. “From time to time I’d catch him chuckling and shaking his head off, I wanted to know what was going through his mind for he seemed amused and a little confused, so I asked him and the only thing he said was, ‘Ngayon ko lang kasi talaga ginawa ‘to.’
“Well, uhm, it’s not that bad to try something new, di ba? And I am really glad that I am the first one who got to see this side of yours.”
