We\u2019ve all been there. We\u2019ve all been a little shattered and devastated. We\u2019ve all been shaken to the point of giving up. It could be losing the person we so much loved, being rejected by our dream job or feeling backstabbed by the very people we trusted. We\u2019ve all felt so alone once or twice and at the back of our minds, we would have wanted someone to lift our spirits up, make us smile and remind us that it is not yet the end of the world.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just how exactly Tonyo was to Lea in the much-talked about movie of the year,\u00a0Kita Kita.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0It was a familiar story of two individuals who have been through their own battles, eventually finding hope in each other. They\u2019ve become each other\u2019s sunshine during their darkest days.<\/p>\n

When we are down, we are so much blinded by our pain, questions and doubts, not realizing that God is actually showing us something. We just have to see.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 lines from\u00a0Kita Kita<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0for all of us, who are going through something today:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \u201cMay mga bagay na kailangan mong paghirapan bago mo makuha.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we want something so much, we tend to get impatient. We want to get them right away, and when things don\u2019t go the way we wanted them to, we end up frustrated. We start to question why. We start to doubt our faith. This line from Tonyo reminds us that just as how hard we pray for something, we also have to work hard for it. Let us take in mind that we don\u2019t always get what we want but God most certainly gives us what He thinks is the best for us at His perfect timing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. \u201cThank you at buhay pa ako.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, we get so clouded by our pain that we fail to see life\u2019s little blessings. We may have cried in pain the whole night but we were given another morning to pick up our broken pieces, to welcome another day and start again. There are so many things to be thankful for and waking up to another day is the first step towards getting better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. \u201cSarap namang makarinig ng \u2018Thank you.’\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we\u2019re upset, we tend to hate the world. We snap at people. We push away the people who wanted to help. We turn them down, thinking we could deal with our problems alone. The movie reminds us that it is okay to ask for help. Don\u2019t turn down people who want to help. Instead, say \u201cThank you\u201d. Appreciate their efforts, no matter how small or big. These are the very people who will lead us towards healing. Don\u2019t push them away.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. \u201cAnong paano? Hindi ka naman pilay.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This was Tonyo\u2019s answer when Lea asks him how could she ride a bike when she\u2019s obviously blind. Tonyo\u2019s answer could have easily passed as a joke but it actually is a wake-up call. Lea is just blind and not paralyzed. She could move. She just has to trust. In short, it\u2019s not the end of the world. Just like when we\u2019re struggling through something, we may think of our fallbacks as dead-ends, with no other way to go but stuck. As they say, we\u2019ve got to help ourselves to get back up. We just have to trust.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cAng lamig kasi eh. I-defroze mo nga iyang puso mo.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we\u2019ve been broken too many times, we tend to build our walls in fear of getting hurt again. We tend to be too cold, sometimes harsh, to other people trying to reach out. Let us not allow our battle scars to toughen us. The quote says it all:\u00a0Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>“<\/em>Ang dami-daming taong gustong habaan ang buhay pero ikaw naman, buhay pa, pinapatay na.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We tend to complain too much about our lives. Some of us, even wanting to end it just because we feel too much pain, not realizing that there are thousands out there, most of them in their hospital beds, struggling to fight every minute for their lives. Find the brighter side. Our lives don\u2019t end with just one heartbreak, with just a disappointment or a fallback. Life goes on and we move forward. We just have to trust the process.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. \u201cIt\u2019s now, it\u2019s never.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know Tonyo meant \u201cIt\u2019s now or never,\u201d and we are all reminded to live life to the fullest, to get up and get going because we don\u2019t have all the time in the world. It\u2019s okay to take some time, ponder and wallow but we\u2019ve got to get moving. We\u2019ve got to seize the moment and grab every opportunity that God blesses our way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> \u201cMaikli ang buhay. Kapag oras mo na, oras mo na.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let us live our lives like every day is our last day. Thank God for the blessings. Let our family and friends know how much we love them. Tell that one person what we\u2019ve been dying to say. Ask forgiveness from the friend we\u2019ve wronged. Forgive those who betrayed us. Do that one thing we\u2019ve been wanting to do. We wouldn\u2019t want to regret the things we didn\u2019t do so might as well let go of our fears and just do it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. \u201cAlam mo, ang labo mo. Noong nakakakita ka, hindi mo ako nakita. Noong nabulag ka, nakita mo ako.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With over seven billion people in the world, how are we to find the people that God chooses to bring into our lives? With the many things happening around us, what with our jam-packed schedules, how could we even stop and see what God is trying to show us? God works in mysterious ways, and sometimes, He uses the simplest or the most random people and things as instruments to change our lives. We just have to pause for a little while.<\/p>\n

10. \u201cHindi mo naman siya kailangang makita. Mararamdaman mo naman eh.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When we arere hurt, we ask God a lot of whys:\u00a0Why me? Why now? Why did God allow them to hurt me? Why is God not helping me?<\/em>\u00a0We tend to search the answers to our questions. We tend to question His love for us, failing to realize that in our deepest agonies, He is there inside our hearts. God feels double our pain. He just wants us to reach out to Him, to talk to Him. We don\u2019t have to see Him to know He\u2019s just there all along, waiting. We just have to pause, close our eyes and start praying. We don\u2019t have to see Him to know He\u2019s listening.<\/p>\n

It could be Tonyo\u2019s jokes or Lea\u2019s charm or their chemistry that made this movie a hit but Kita Kita is actually telling us something: During our darkest days, it isn\u2019t always the eyes that see. Most of the time, it\u2019s the heart that feels.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav admin_label=”Post Navigation” in_same_term=”off” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” prev_text=”PREVIOUS ARTICLE” next_text=”NEXT ARTICLE” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
