"First Time" Ends
Friday, May 28, 20106:34 PM
It started raining outside just after I slumped on the wooden bed and started typing in this blog post. My limbs and knees started aching again and I kinda noticed how this happens either when it's cold or it's raining. Funny, every time this happens, I always complain about it to my parents, or particularly anyone who would hear me, that I'm having rheumatism. And as expected they'd laugh at me or give me puzzled faces because according to them, only old people usually get it.Really? Oh, I don't think so. But don't get me wrong, regardless of how I blamed my "rheumatism" to rainy seasons and cold bouts, I, for the record, LOVE rain. I actually pray for rain everyday, or at least, when I remember about it at nights when I'm talking to God (yes, since God isn't exactly visible to the eye, I'm actually talking to myself and opening and closing my mouth while I come up with words together while procrastinating at the same time; that's why people often think I'm crazy, because I talk a lot, even though I haven't anyone to talk to and when I talk to myself in the borders of my cerebral cortex, I can't help but open my mouth as well).
Rain, for me, is a nice prospect. Not because it gives us a downpour water, and it helps enormously in the irrigation of plantations all over the country (yes, I'm that snobbish) but because it feels like someone, or somebody is out there, feeling for you and it's as if God is with you in your sorrows. It has a feeling of being sympathized and just like magic, everything that you feel, all of your dreams, your hopes, your love; it just comes out in the open. It could even make me emotional at times and I'd have a good cry once in awhile.
When it's raining I always feel like covering myself in a comfortable blanket, dragging Ferby (my most important treasure in my teenage life, because, mainly he's given by someone SOOOO special, I'll tell you about that in later posts) at the bottom, or the side of the bed, wherever he might be and clutch him in my chest then proceed to use all my strength in opening the rusty bedroom window and plant myself in front of it, gazing at the milky skies as a slight drizzle starts falling in one or two spots by the lower roof. Then there comes all the hopes, the wants, the aspirations and I'd probably grab my iPod, flip over to a whatever song feels like the moment, and then daydream as much as I want. It's a win win scenario. ^^
Oh yeah, the picture up there, that's my dear Ferby. Just so you know.
But, enough about teddy bears, windows, and rain. I'm not posting this to talk about my own crazy hobbies and my ideal serene scenarios. That's the problem with me, sometimes, when I fully intend to write on specific and straight to the point topic, I always end up straying from it and veering off into some otherworldly things and tend to expand on that so my posts usually end up long and out of the point. I don't know why I'm such an OC and why I always tend to explain things in my posts, random things and whatsoever. I just can't help it. Look at me now, I'm going off topic again.
OKAY. Back to my POINT. Oh, great, with so much exaggeration and all, I forgot what I'm supposed to say. *light bulb click* Oh, yeah. Since today's Friday (yay! it's Saturday tomorrow, traveling day again!!! but then, it's raining and if it continues till tomorrow, me and my bro won't be allowed by our father; total bummer) and the news about First Time's last 20...10...5 episodes have been all over and has been going around Facebook these past few weeks, I'm quite aware that maybe, just maybe, today's the totally sought ending of the series. I thought about it a bit, while I heard the it's opening intro blaring from the television downstairs , but since I'm so busy (and has been for two days) reediting the CSS of my blog, I didn't really mind it.
Though, there are some things that made me think that today might be the last episode of First Time. First, First Time's been going on for awhile and from the warnings from other media sources of it's near ending, it's supposed to end at some point right? I just had a feeling that maybe, it's THIS time. And so yeah, my senses never failed me. Second, because the turn of events seems to be pointing at a close and it just makes it more imminent that they're gonna sweep off the series from the channel time slot and would be pushing some other series instead.
And so, while I was stressing (all this time) and continuously being irritated as I'm editing the CSS code for my blog (I am using the trial and error tactic, FYI since I'm totally clueless on how cascading style sheets are supposed to go and I'm just feeling my way in) because some of my edits just won't work (particularly the Yellow Ribbon Logo), my brother's piping yet drawling voice came up from the confusing mass of sounds (a mixture of the Senate's boring debates that seems like it's not going to end anytime soon, my iTunes playlist going over and over, and the people creating useless babble of talk on the street outside our house) and shouted plainly and clearly: "B.A, Baste's gonna start courting Sarah." like a dozen times, and in between, I somehow picked it up from the chaos of sounds, before he finally shut up and started pounding his drum sticks in our dad's huge slippers.
Since I'm a huge fan of the "SarahXBaste" tandem or love team, or whatever you call them, I hastened over without turning off anything from my room and came crashing down the stairs and into the couch. All I saw in the screen was Sarah crying and on the other half, Baste telling his parents that "I hope she was here to witness this.... blah blah blah", I don't really get it because I didn't catch his whole statement but my brother just said "he's going to court her" with my face full of hungry (and creepy) expression of excitement and hope. And I was like "WHAAAT? WHAAT?" And mercifully, my father chose to educate me, and tell me that Baste actually received some awards (I think it was their graduation or something, I'm not really sure) and he felt that he owed everything of it from Sarah and from my own opinion, I think that finally made him see that it was NOT Natalie whom he loves, but Sarah.
And so that finally made me happy and all because (you don't know anything of it, I cried BLOOD, okay I'm joking, because for some time, it appeared that the love team that was going to end up was Natalie and Baste, not Sarah and Baste) I don't know, it just feels like I could totally relate to what Sarah feels and their whole story is like my LIFE, thank you very much. It wouldn't make sense to you if I just told you a raw statement of it right? So, I'd be kind enough to relate to you every detail that I know of. Well, not that much.
It's like this, I don't when or why or what, but somehow, with all the mushy sweetness (puke puke) between Cindy and Lucas, Sarah finally found her match in Cindy's best friend Baste. She started talking about love, became understanding and kind, really inspired and she even made this website about love with Baste's picture on the front page and she almost got caught by him. And her close encounters and ultimately close call of him finding out her feelings is totally giggle-worthy and romantic. Then, Baste somehow became "MU" with Cindy, and Sarah was somewhat fine with it, but then, Baste decided to set Cindy free because he loved her too much to keep him for himself but with her not really happy at all. After Baste and Cindy's supposed "break up" Sarah chose that moment to reveal her love for Baste and told him: "You know the crush I'm talking about, it's you. I like you. Was it impossible to tell me you like me too?"
And it was all sad and my heart totally broke when her tears started falling after Baste kinda turned her down by telling her "I see you just as a friend." And so, Baste started avoiding Sarah at campus and it really put her on totally sad mode and you could just see her crying all alone sometimes. Natalie, the school queen (think Regina George, but not as slutty, just bitchy), has been abandoned by her cronies and her popularity has been taken away from her. She was treated badly by her cronies and she was the one who was bullied now. When she realized the error of her ways, and how it felt to be bullied by other people (to which she has done to others often), she turned over a new leaf and said sorry to all the people she has treated badly before.
Her brave and sincere act of a change of heart won her the friendship of Sarah and the attention of Baste. Baste kinda started appreciating her but Sarah being her closest friend after her fallout with her cronies, she decided to help Sarah with Baste (totally oblivious of the attention Baste was giving her). She gave Sarah a makeover and started convincing Baste to come with them, so that he would learn to like Sarah in return. But as she made these efforts, Baste started falling in like with her (they also had sweet moments, like the unexpected meetings in the hallways, long staring moments and times when they're alone together, e.g when Natalie tried washing clothes in Baste's house and when Natalie revealed to him what type of guy she likes) until finally, on his birthday, he told her his wish was her.
I know, it's totally romantic right? But I hope it was with Sarah not Natalie. And so Natalie was rendered speechless because, really, she had absolutely NO whatsoever clue of Baste's feelings for her. Sarah started sensing that there's something going on that she doesn't know, and she finally found out that Baste likes Natalie when she caught them talking with each other and Baste supposedly (I don't know, I wasn't able to watch this part, but Baste must be telling Natalie he really likes her because Sarah started crying when she saw and heard them. As in she walked in on them.) told Natalie he want to be with her or something.
Then Sarah somewhat had hard feelings with Natalie, and this parts comes with the ending of First Time (at least, this is the part that I know). As I said earlier, when he received an award, Baste realized that he owes all of it to Sarah and he FINALLY FINALLY saw it in his heart that it was Sarah he actually loved and Natalie was just a misnomer. But to clear things off, Natalie DIDN'T like Baste. She was 100% loyal to Sarah and never meant for that to happen, that was why she was sad when Sarah found out that Baste likes her (by "her" I mean Natalie). Then, Sarah, being a good and kind girl, went to the class' graduation party and went up to Natalie. Natalie, feeling down again, asked Sarah hesitantly what she was doing there. Blah, blah, blah. And they made up.
Sarah said she wasn't mad anymore and her friendship with Natalie was important and she wasn't willing to lose that. And so they hugged and Natalie declared that Sarah was he one and only best friend. As for the friendship thing, they really look like ultimate best friends and they compliment each other. Baste all of that, and I assumed that added up to his like point with Sarah, being able to make up with Natalie and chose her friend instead of the jealousy and hate. Wanna know the ending? It was narrated by Cindy, of course, since she's the female protagonist, and she just told the audience what happened to her friends and family. But of course, it was shown to the home audience. And I actually saw Sarah hug Baste.
So ... what happened is that Baste really started liking Sarah (he loves her is more like it) and the scene is, while Sarah was reading a book, he sneaked up behind her and placed a book on top of what she was reading. She opened it and a note was slipped inside that reads: "Sarah, I like you. Could I court you?" And she looked at him with the biggest smile and he smiled sheepishly back and Sarah hugged him and they were all pure happiness. Oh, I love it. I can't even get over it. It was the sweetest ending I've ever watched. Ever.
I don't know when I'll be posting again but it's certain that it will be soon enough.
Here is a picture of Baste and Sarah:
