You are a Serious ALDUB Fan If…

I went to the MAC counter yesterday to buy a tube of lipstick because my current fave color, Toledo Barbecue, is just a few centimeters away from the bottom and is begging to be replaced. Okay, honestly, pwede pa naman siyang pagtiyagaan. But I was intrigued to visit my friendly MAC suking tindahan to check out the lippie color Yaya Dub supposedly used in her McDonald’s TV ad.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Screen grab from Youtube

When I first saw it, I was sure it was Ruby Woo--the blue red color, the matte consistency. My UPCC friend Cynthia Guico introduced to me the MAC color two years ago, and it has been my holy grail of red lipstick ever since. When it was revealed by the make-up artists of Yaya Dub that this was the same color they used on her, I was sure that a lot of people would rush to the cosmetic counter to try it.

My suking MAC Lady confirmed that indeed, Ruby Woo is almost out-of-stock in Manila. But never fear, Cebu Ladies! You can find the lippie color at Rustan's Cebu, kaya go na! As for me, I still have my Ruby Woo in my makeup case because I use it only on special events. I was itching to buy and hoard one, but logic (and yes, budget!) prevailed. I bought another very nice dark fuchsia matte color in Flat Out Fabulous instead.

Ooops, sorry as I disgressed from today's topic. Heto na talaga. Here is a test if you are seriously addicted to ALDUB:

1 You postpone your work/school/pasada/benta sa tindahan until the day's Kalyeserye is over. You don’t want to miss Yaya Dub’s wacky facial expressions and Alden’s cute dimples, right?

2 You have already watched the Kalyeserye live at its regular time slot, but you wait for the uploaders on YouTube at night to watch it again. And again. And again. Until 2:00 in the morning.

3. Ms. Pastillas, who? Out of curiosity though, you may have visited the YouTube videos of the “other" network,  or switched the channel during EB's commercial break, but just to check if there is really stiff competition, as the other camp claims. You breathe a sigh of relief, for your Yaya Dub is miles and miles away from all angles and aspects.

4 You over-analyze every facial expression and gesture of Alden and Yaya Dub. The YouTube videos suddenly bring out the psychology expert in you, based on the comments you post. "Check the video at 1:04, and watch how both of them secretly smiled at each other. Kilig!" or "Alden's smile was pilit, maybe he is not really serious with Yaya Dub?" or "Yaya Dub’s eyes look sad when Alden wasn't there. Where are you, Bae?"

5 You refresh your Facebook page every minute to search for write-ups about Kalyeserye, Alden, Yaya Dub, the Tres Lolas, and even about Joey de Leon, and you want to be the first to comment. Or after you have posted your comment, you ask beg others to click the Like button. Or more importantly, you are always on the look out for negative comments of bashers, and make a counter comment, kasi nakakasakit nga naman sila.

6 You never fail to check what the hash tag of the day is, and show your support as part of the ALDUB Nation by tweeting until your nails are pudpod na.

7 You never care for commercials until now. You sit in front of your boob tube so as not to miss the product endorsements of Maine and Alden (McDonald's and TNT), or Maine and Lola Nidora (O+ Phone), or Maine (555 Sardines). And didn't you hear from someone or read from somewhere that there are more ads to come? You are never touching that remote nor going to take a pee break from 12:00 to 2:00! And yes, you are SO eating Chicken Fillet ala King Meal and buying 555 Sardines next time.

8 You get jealous and turn into a green-eyed beast if any girl celebrity takes a picture with Alden (except Ai-ai, of course). Plus Alden being absent for one whole week? What? ONE WHOLE WEEK? Without any video message? Or any answer to Maine’s tweets for that matter? And that Instagram Dubsmash message? Ang ikli naman! Ano, pampalubag loob! Grabe ka naman, Alden! Yes, you have all the right to make tampo for Yaya!

9. For the first time in your life, you can't wait until it's Monday. Monday can be a b@#ch to many, but the mere thought of watching AlDub and the three Lola's inspire you to wake up smiling on the first working day of the week. And the rest of it, for that matter. Plus you can't wait what surprise they are cooking up on Saturday.

10 You dream, no, you TRULY BELIEVE that Maine and Alden will live happily ever after in real life.


How many points did you get? I checked six out of ten. Geesh! Time to get a life.... :-)
