ALDUB Tamang Panahon

Once again breaking its own record, ALDUB nation did it again with a overwhelming 39.5 million for #ALDubEBTamangPanahon.  Today is a special day for the love team ALDUB and the whole ALDUB nation, and of course Eat Bulaga, the longest running noontime show in the Philippines.  This is the most awaited day that took place in the largest indoor arena in the world - The Philippine Arena in Bulacan, Philippines.

I would like to list down my most favorite highlights.

1.  The moment the whole Philippine arena was asked to put up their mobile phones in flashlight mode.  I had goosebumps as I watched the replay of eat bulaga on you tube.

2.  The quick change of wally bayola - lola nidora to Duhrizz  to Rihanna.  Best.  Kalyeserye wit=ll not be complete without the Kalye's angels

3.  When some of the ALDUB songs were sang by the original singers and Tito Vic and Joey.

4.  Just Maine.  The simplicity of Yaya Dub.  The sophistication of Maine.  She entered the Philippine arena hanging in a jeepney.  So humble and down to earth.

5.  Of course, ALDUB....that hug...that hug saying thank you...hugging tight as if they are alone amongs the 55k people in the arena.

Someone asked me, what is the secret of ALDUB?  Without thinking, I said, "putting God first with humbleness and a lot of love" that is ALDUB.

ALDUB's second date

The #ALDubEBforLOVE has set another record with a total of 25.6 millions of tweets - more than double the last record breaking #ALDUBMostAwaitedDate.  As of 10:25 a.m. (Philippine time), it has reached 10 million tweets.  Whooaaahhh.. This is not only ALDUB Nation but ALDUB world.  Indeed, ALDUB craze has invaded the whole world.  It's unstoppable.  It's crazy.  It's ALDUB.

Last night, before i slept at 12:15 a.m. (Dubai time) last night, (+4 hours for Philippine time) :)  It was just right after the mambo number five dance of Joey de leon and his children because the tweets have reached 5 million in three hours.  Actually in a span of 30 minutes only, the tweets have reached to one million.  

And yes today, 26 September at 7:52 a.m. (Dubai time), the tweets have reached to 12 million which was the same as the total (take note total) of the last highest record of #ALDUBMostAwaitedDate but just at 7:00 a.m. tweets were already 11 million.  You are monsters aldub nation!!!

At about 9:38 a.m. in Dubai, the tweets have reached 16 million!!!!

The phenomenal accidental love team ALDUB (Alden and Yaya Dub) continues to soar high as they continue to touch every hearts of (almost) every person in this world.  Today marked the real and reel visitation of Alden to the mansion of Lola Nidora where Yaya Dub apparently stays.  We have been waiting in love and deep patience for the "tamang panahon" (right time) as lola Nidora would always say.  

Today. 26 September 2015 is the day!  It is also the National Pabebe wave day!  Most of us ALDUB followers have changed our profile picture doing the pabebe wave.

Moments of the second ALDUB date that I can't get over with:

• Those chinky eyes when Alden is super excited.  Agree? post a comment below.

screen shot of Alden's excited look

• When Alden sang "God gave me you", he burst into tears.  This made me cry also.  I felt him, his sincerity and kindness of heart.  He said that I always say thank you but allow me to offer this song to Maine, Maine this is for you.

he still looks handsome even when crying 

• Provided with the three conditions (please see my blog Preparation day for aldub's date) Alden went to visit the mansion bringing flowers and chicharon.

Alden dusted off his shoes and removed them before entering the house

•  ALDUB selfie in the mansion.

• Lola Nidora's manual rocking chair (literally manual) ha ha

she manually rocks her legs and body while sitting on this chair

• Breaking the no touch rule but sometimes accidents do happen, oopppss... the CCTV might have caught these incidents.  Yaya choked so Alden gave him water but Yaya accidentally touched Alden's hands.

accidents do happen, sorry Lola

sweetness without touching

• After Alden left the mansion, Yaya Dub shouted, "this must be love!"

"this must be loooveee"

And we all fell in love over, and over and over again....Happy National Pabebe wave day to Aldub Nation!!

Preparation day for ALDUB's date and National Pabebe wave day

Today, yaya Dub and Lola Nidora came from the parlor  to prepare for tomorrow's visit of Alden in the mansion because tomorrow is the day when Lola Nidora allowed Alden to visit Yaya Dub in the mansion.  Lola  Nidora allowed Aledn to visit provided he will follow the three conditions:

1.  Alden and Yaya can come near each other with a distance of one foot and NO touch.

measure a foot with the ruler

2.  Bring chicharon with love and sweetness.

chicharon is fried pork skin

3.  Lastly and the best of all the three conditions, Alden should sing his own rendition of God gave me you by Bryan white.

These are the three conditions of lola Nidora for Alden.  Tomorrow is Pabebe wave national day!  Make some wave!!!

ALDUB More than words

It has been two days since Yaya Dub, the other half of the love team ALDUB, has uttered her first words.  Yes, first words (with an S) because she uttered two names.  The first time was in the episode after their first most awaited date.  She came back with her head bandaged due to a minor car accident after running away from the ALDUB date to get to Lola Nidora in time for her medication.  The episode ended with the voice of a woman calling "Lola".  Suddenly, Lola Nidora and Lola Tidora found Yaya Dub lying unconscious.  That was her first word.

On 22 September 2015, Yaya Dub was not physically present but she was only on the phone.  Lola Nidora said that she was resting from yesterday's passing out incidence.  Yaya called several times.  She was still dubsmashing on the phone but then she suddenly uttered, "Lola", "Alden".  Those were her next words.  

Babbling is a stage in child development wherein the child is like vocalizing syllables but not yet forming words.  At 12-17 months, this is the time the child  may begin to say one or more words.

Comparing child development with Yaya Dub's development in kalyeserye, babble is her dubsmash. She actually is quite advanced in her development because she has already uttered her first two words - Lola and Alden, in only just more than two months. :))  She has also soared high in her career from dubsmash queen to, commercials and soon movies (she is currently shooting My Bebe Love with Alden, Vic Sotto and Ai Ai delas Alas).

Her first two words could be symbolic.  Her first two words could mean more than words.  Her first two words could mean more than advance development.

What could it mean?

• Say what you mean and mean what you say.  Yaya Dub's first two words - Lola and Alden - could be coming from her heart for these are the two people whom she loves the most.

• For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.  In the bible, Luke 6:45 says A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.  Whatever is overflowing in Yaya's heart, she speaks.  Alden! Lola!

• Ever heard of the saying, "follow your heart"?  Well, Yaya Dub just followed her heart and her heart says, Lola and Alden!

• “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” ― Rumi.  Yaya Dub as obedient as she is was drawn to what she really loves - Lola and Alden.  (I need oxygen now!!! ha ha ha )

• "Her heart was talking now..." - Karen Kingsbury, Even now.  Well?  

Whatever the meaning of Yaya Dub's first two words, wherever it came from and whoever it is (that she uttered), one thing is for sure - the heart is speaking more than words!
