November 01 2008, me and two of my good friends Jennifer and Lilian (whom also I consider my best friends), had a chance of bonding together, despite our always hectic schedule. We went to visit the grave of also a good friend Carol (who died of leukemia last 2003). After which we watch a movie My Only U which stars Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga. At first I was hesitant to watch the said movie for I thought it was just one corny movie again.
The movie My Only U, has a very short story of love or affection for a very dear friend, who has a family curse of dying at a young age. The whole story runs along how Bong the landlord and friend (played by Vhong Navarro) took care and did everything to ensure that Winona (played by Toni Gonzaga) will have a long and prosperous life. And because of his secret love for Winona he is willing to do anything to protect her. On the other hand Winona suppresses herself to love; believing that she only has a short time live.
The movie has an exciting twist Winona surpass the curse, but still both of them flourish their relationship in heaven. For some the ending may seem tragic but for me despite the unusual comedy movie ending, they were able to make the movie really light and funny. A mix of comedy, drama and musical, they were able to make me laugh til I drop. I even love the sound track ‘Kasama Kang Tumanda’; it’s an equally nice rendition of song as its original english version ‘Grow Old With You’.
Here is the lyrics below (enjoy!)
Kasama Kang Tumanda
itong awiting ito
ay alay sayo
sintonado man tong mga pangako sayo
ang gusto ko lamang
makasama kang tumanda
patatawanin kita pag hindi ka masaya
bubuhatin kita pag rinayuma ka na
oh kay sarap isiping kasama kang tumanda
ibibili ng balot pag mahina na ang tuhod
ikukuha ng gamot pag sumakit ang likod
oh kay sarap isiping kasama kang tumanda
sasamahan kahit kailan man
mahigit kumulang ‘di mabilang
tatlumpung araw sa isang buwan
umabot man tayo sa three-thousand one
magmukha mang bruha pag gising sa umaga
pupunasan ko pa ang muta mo sa mata
oh kay sarap isipin kasama kang tumanda
paglalaba pa kita
matapos mamalantsya
kahit abut-abutin man ako ng pasma
oh kay sarap isiping kasama kang tumanda
sasamahan kahit kailan man
mahigit kumulang ‘di mabilang
tatlumput araw sa isang buwan
umabot man tayo sa three-thousand one
labs na labs parin kita
kahit bungi-bungi ka na
para sakin ikaw parin ang pinaka maganda
oh kay sarap isiping kasama kang tumanda
at nangangako sayo’ng
pag sinagot mo’ng oo
iaalay sayo buong puso ko
sumangayon ka lamang
kasama kang tumanda
