![]() ![]() In Raf’s attempt to win her back, he reminds Christine of “who she should be.” They meet again still enamored with each other. Raf, on the other hand, is a Ten Outstanding Young Men awarded doctor who is in a relationship with Aly (Jasmine Curtis-Smith). She’s now in a relationship with her imposing boss Greg (Adrian Alandy), and her aspirations from five years ago has disappeared-I can’t forget that “poof!” when she told Raf how it has come to this point. Christine struggles with her career, while Raf tries to find his way out of college.įive years since their breakup, we see Christine inside a car intently looking at the National Museum the way she looks at Juan Luna’s “Spoliarium” in the first shot of the film. Unlike the idealist Christine, Raf (Enrique Gil) is a determined yet somewhat complacent pre-medicine student from UST.

However, the question of dreams as in the one that asks you to “become” something belongs to our innocent childhood. It’s easy to think of our dreams in terms of ownership, because it’s easy to determine what we want to have. “But do you have dreams? ‘Yung gusto niyo maging pagtanda niyo?” And just like that, the room was filled with heavy silence. “Same,” I replied, giving emphasis to the long A. “ Gusto ko na lang yumaman,” another friend chimed in. One friend said she dreams of having her own property soon. So, my friends and I ended up talking about some serious matters. It was the eve of Valentine’s Day, and there was no point to brave the pre-Valentine’s traffic as tickets were already sold out. On the night Antoinette Jadaone’s Alone/Together featuring Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil opened, I found myself in discussion with my friends. Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers.
