Hashtag "Na-Janine Tugonon"

One time, while browsing my Twitter timeline, something caught my attention. I got curious why this "na-Janine Tugonon" hashtag is continuously popping up. Yeah, I have no idea what was this all about. For that reason I went on Google and searched what's been the talk of the town and there I read an article about Janine Tugonon breaking up with her boyfriend for The Script singer, Danny or something like that. Wew! So that's it. And there I have read a lot of negative feedback about Janine, calling her flirt and slut which made me feel sorry for her.

I personally admire Janine for making it to the top 5 in Miss Universe where I thought she'd win the crown because she answered Nigel's question eloquently. Among all the candidates, I think she has the best answer, not being bias but she really has it to win. Nevertheless, being crowned as 1st Runner-Up is still something to be proud of. I couldn't be prouder knowing that she's also a Thomasian. Thomasians really are making a name not only in academics but also in beauty pageants like this.

But with the controversy she's been involved with and the issues thrown on her, many people are misjudging her already. We are living in a democratic country and people are free to make opinions but they should also know their limitations. I get it if they loathe Janine for breaking up with her bf only because someone who's more handsome, more popular and "hotter" got her attention. At least, as early as now, Janine already made a move. Don't you think it's better that way rather than keeping her relationship with her boyfriend while entertaining a suitor. That would be more of a disgrace. But then I'm not telling that Janine's decision was right. We never know what's the right one because in the first place we do not know what the whole story was. We are not even sure if the information we know is accurate. In times like this where love is what we're talking about, only those who are involved should speak out. Janine was also being honest with her feelings. Why pretend to be okay when you're not really happy with your relationship? People change. Everyone changes either for the better or for worse, but the point is we can't make things permanent because even how we feel for a certain person changes. Another thing is that they're still not married, they could still part ways if they want to and if they have enough reasons. I hope we stop blaming Janine and making fun of her, nobody's perfect. Who cares if she wants to be single again? Who cares if she wants freedom from her bf? Who cares if she's asking for space and time? She has all the right to do so.

In the same way, I honor Janine's ex-boyfie, Jaypee. I know he took a great courage to face the reality and he swallowed his pride because he loves Janine that much. If I was in his position, I might not be able to defend that very person who left me for another. But he did, and that I think is true love. I hope he become an inspiration to all other boys out there. He didn't blame anybody for what had happened, not even the girl who hurt her. I wish he finds the right one for him, that girl who wouldn't risk him and that wouldn't leave him. He deserves the best, and maybe that best is not Janine anymore. He has no choice, all he has to do is accept it. I know it'll be hard, there will be no easy way but I believe he can. What made my heart melt was when he said that he's still waiting for Janine to come back. Isn't that sweet? But please stop being a fool! Don't waste your time for a person who's making you an option. Okay? If you feel that there's no more hope then stop. Stop. Breathe. Live. It's not yet the end, only a chapter of the story has ended and you're not yet supposed to close the book. Go flip the pages and discover what God has planned for you.

For the two of you, stay blessed and keep in faith.
