Well, I've had a lovely two day reprieve from my niece and nephew, but they're coming back tonight since the new baby will be born tomorrow morning (yay! Let's hope that all goes well this time), so, I'm doing my meme now, because I probably won't have time to do much of anything tonight but sleep. Which is what I'm supposed to do at night...

The 30 Day Shipping Meme
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?

Um... can I choose ALL of my ships? Okay, okay, I guess I'm going to go with Jackie and Eli from Maging Sino Ka Man. Basically, anything that John Lloyd and Bea do together contains the greatest chemistry ever, but I think they really outdid themselves with that teleserye. They got the bickery adorableness down pat right from the start, and the unrequitedness at various points in the story was so magnificently well done, and their UST/sexual chemistry was kind of mind-blowing, and they were frustrating and tragic and beautiful and delightful all at the same time. They rocked my world, is what I'm saying. A couple of my favorite clips:

Just some background, Eli is super poor and he has had a giant crush on Jackie for a long time, Jackie is super rich, their first couple meetings don't go too well (he thinks she's stuck up, she thinks he's grumpy), then later Jackie gets amnesia from a car accident after Eli's brother kidnaps her and his brother tells Eli to take care of her and hide her so that his accomplices don't kill her, and while Jackie and Eli are away they live as a married couple (it was Eli's cover story, and since Jackie wakes up with amnesia, she thinks it's true). They fall in mad love after many trials and tribulations, but then, just when everything is going peachy, Jackie gets conked on the head again and forgets her time with Eli and takes a bus back home. Eli is extremely heartbroken even though he had prepared himself for it, and he goes back to his old life and more misfortunes happen and he gets entangled with Jackie again and falls in love all over again (as does she, which is mightily confusing to her), but she's engaged to JB, who he is indebted to, and it's all so tragic (yet his scenes with Jackie are super adorable, especially whenever she gets jealous of him and his friend that's a girl), and he's still angry that she can't even remember a time that was so very special to him, and that's where this clip picks up:

Epic love confession II

And then this next clip comes after much mistreatment and bitterness and the destruction of both of their families at each other's hands. Both characters have been through so much tragedy because of each other, and yet they managed to fall in love for a third time, and this is them finally getting to genuinely enjoy their love without a trace of deception, and it's so, so lovely:

Cute cute cuuuuuuuuute!
