Describe mo sa'kin kung pa'no ka magpakilig.

Pahimik pero deadly.

Magulat ka na sa phone mo, may notification ka na yung GrabDriver na sa labas na kasi...

Nakakilig yun.

Hi, I'm Monica. I'm 24 years old.

I'm currently working as an Influencer Partnerships Executive

more than 2 years na single.

I signed up for this blind dating kasi

I feel like I'm ready to date someone.

I base sa personality ng guy.

That's why I'm really interested to try blind dating.

Mas nagmamatter yung personality for me.

I would say mature ka vibe ko.

Yung parang kalog din and then yung sense of humor talaga.

Super exciting kasi

parang first time ko nga matutrya yung blind and speed dating

tapos 3 guys.

So, mas madaming option, the better.

Hi, I'm Ethan. I'm 25 years old.

I currently study at LaSalle Law.

Apart from that, I work for the government.

Hi, I'm Joseph Cernejo.

I'm 25 years old but you can call me Dan.

I'm originally from Dagupan City, Pangasinan.

Hi, my name is Santi and I'm 24 years old

and currently, I'm preparing for boards

and I just recently graduated.

I took a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics

as my pre-med.

Okay, for first question,

what's your opening pitch to me?

You have 60 seconds, go.

I don't wanna say that I'm different

but I think I am.

I'm really trying to pursue yung passion ko

when it comes to singing.

You're a singer.

Yeah, yeah.

Tang Paul, Joe.

I love ko naman yung magagaling kumunta.

I'm really an adventurous guy

so we can go out anywhere, anytime.

Parang I'm spontaneous.

I love outgoing guys.

Like I'm very sponty guy.

Yeah, adventurous.

Yeah, just one call away guy.

I have a lot of experience in terms of arts,

literature, and being serious

because you know, you have to be serious in the government

and law school, yeah.

Touch my neck and I'll touch yours

You in those little highway stations

Oh, galing!

I really love cooking

and also love to serving people

and taking care of people.

What are you passionate about?

It doesn't have to be deep.

I am really passionate about football.

In high school, I used to play for my high school varsity team.

I'm really passionate about singing talaga.

It makes me driven as a person.

I like to observe people.

And getting to know them more.

When it comes to singing,

I'm really more of myself.

Nagpakita ko kung sino talaga ako.

And hopefully, nag-transcend siya right now.

Kung nakikita ko.

So where did you graduate?

From USC.

Same?

Yeah.

Go!

Baka magka-batch tayo.

Oh, wala. Hindi ko ginagawa.

Challenge, show me your phone wallpaper through the curtain.

Oh.

It's like a view, city lights.

I have so many pockets kasi I don't know what I'm doing.

It's like his schedule.

I mean, judging his wallpaper,

very busy person talaga siya.

Oh, Taylor Swift.

Oh, so you love Taylor Swift?

Yeah, I love listening to music.

You're a Swifty?

Yes, I'm a Swifty boy.

I actually appreciate din yung mga city lights na view.

Dito ko lahat iniiyak lahat.

Dito ko lahat sinisigaw lahat ng passions ko.

Lahat ng gusto ko kay Lorde.

Thank you guys.

Nice meeting you all.

First contestant, si Ethan.

Busy person.

For me, he's a bit intimidating.

Kasi he also works out,

which is good.

As a person, super disciplined niya.

And very serious guy,

which I'm not used to in dating.

Kasi I usually date guys na alam mo yun,

yung guloki lang and very funny.

For contestant number two, si Dan.

Na-vibe ko na parang more on friendship kami kanina.

And he is all less intimidating.

Kasi for me, kapag hindi intimidating yung guy,

mas parang mas feel ko siyang kausap and i-interview.

Gusto ko yung kinakantahan ako,

like nakaka-in-love yung parang hinaharana.

So for contestant number three, si Santi.

Yung part siguro na parang observant siya sa people,

it screams like a nerdy type of guy for me.

Mukhang siya matalino.

Ewan ko, parang hindi ko lang vibe yung humor niya.

But he told me he's adventurous, so let's see.

Kasi I like guys din adventurous.

Hi, Santi!

Hello!

So the first question here is,

share anon popular opinion you have about dating?

It's so hard to find a genuine person nowadays,

especially in advancement of social media.

I think dating should be awkward.

I think it should be messy.

I think it should be funny.

It's really not about time.

In the sense na you don't need to date and date.

It's more on the connection.

It's more on how you interact with that person.

It's more on the character.

You're both trying to scramble,

getting to know each other.

Discover the things that you like

or you don't like about each other

and at the same time find a compromise there.

One click or one follow.

It's so hard to see the real intention of people.

If I'll be quite honest, I'm quite critical

when it comes to the people that I socialize with.

Not because I don't trust them,

it's just because,

syempre, at the end of the day,

ayaw natin masaktan.

And involving yourself to another person

at just being vulnerable to them,

yun yung masakit eh kapag hindi na-reciprocate yan.

Describe mo sa'kin kung paano ka magpakilig.

Well, I think pinakilig na kita kanino.

Pinapinmessaging ka.

Unpredictable.

Pahimik pero deadly.

You'd think that I'd be studying

or would be doing something else

but maghulat ka na yung sa phone mo,

may notification ka na yung grab driver na sa labas na.

Ay, nakakilig yun.

I will take you to the beach.

I am kind of a beach person.

I usually go there to contemplate life

and just being grateful pag nasa beach ako.

And I feel like kapag dinala kita doon,

it would somehow transcend siguro yung ganun na feelings

na nararamdaman ko rin.

Hopefully.

I love that beach, too.

Paano may describe yung silent but deadly?

Parang simple gestures pero can make a good impact

on our relationship.

I'll cook for you.

I'll prepare your breakfast.

Do you think looks matter in a relationship?

Well, let's be honest.

Ayoko din magpakipagkita, yes.

Yeah, definitely.

Joke yun ah.

But...

No, I took it seriously.

It's a 50-50 situation for me.

Pero...

There could be a balance

but for me, the looks will establish the start.

Yung mga dating na date ko, nabulag sa mukha ko eh.

In a good or bad way?

Open to interpretation.

For me, more on substance and personality than looks naman.

For me, yes, it matters.

Pero syempre, yun nga,

how you build your relationship with that person

is much more doon sa surface level na nakikita mo.

Yeah, I actually agree with that.

So, thank you for that, Santi.

It's done.

Oh, my God!

Sorry, sorry, nalilito ako.

Si Santi.

So, sya yung with simple gestures, magpakalig.

And I feel like, yun kasi yung gusto ko eh.

For me kasi, yung love language ko, acts of service.

So, if like, ipagluluto niya ako,

ayun, I feel like he's just a genuine guy

na parang sweet guy siya.

Si Ethan.

For me, okay yung mga guys na confident.

Pero personally, parang more on gusto ko yung mga humble guys.

He kind of screams red flag for me.

For Dan, nalilito ko sa kanila ni Santi

kasi parang feeling ko both sila na sweet guy.

Very romantic.

Okay, so let's pretend we're in a dinner date right now.

May chicken ka rin ba?

Meron.

The first question you're going to ask me on our first date.

I would definitely want to ask more about your occupation,

How were you in your younger years?

Probably in your childhood.

Siguro, unang tatanungin ko,

kamusta ka na Angela?

From that question, siguro I'll get to know you more deeply.

I want to make sure kung ano na muna yung situation niya,

na nangyayari sa buhay niya.

Kung okay ba siya mentally, physically.

I'm very interested in how people get to their specific situations,

how they navigate the dynamics of their work,

and how they balance life in general at this young age.

Kasi diba, early 20s tayo,

yeah, ang dami mong kailangan i-balance, diba?

Tapos dami mong gusto.

I feel like that question would really make me see kung sino ka talaga

in terms of kung anong ginagawa mo dati, on your past.

I feel like may encompass niya for other questions to spark.

So parang pag natanong ko yung question na yun,

madami naman magdo-domino effect mo siya.

Do you think you'd make a good boyfriend?

100 percent, yeah.

Wow!

Sure na sure siya.

I'd be the best. Joke lang.

If you would ask me, definitely.

Kasi malaki yung pagmamahal ko,

and I know na kaya pa siyang bigay.

I'm the type of boyfriend who listens,

and really, really promotes healthy boundaries

in terms of wanting the best for each other.

Kasi ako, I'm a very sweet and lovable guy.

Kung paano i-treat ng isang tao yung pamilya niya,

mas lalo niyang mamahalin yung taong gusto niya.

I feel like I have a lot of love to give.

Kasi sa family ko pa lang, sabrang mahal naman kasi niya.

That's nice.

How about you?

I can say na I'm ready to date again right now

kasi I've built myself,

I've set my standards in a good way.

Ready na din ako ibigay ulit yung love.

Hopefully sa akin.

Fake note, nutritionist ako,

so healthy relationship is our thing.

Wow!

Okay, so lastly, I have a challenge for you.

Tell me your best pick-up line.

Chicken ka ba?

Bakit?

Sarap mo eh.

Alam ko, hindi ka breadcrumbs.

Bakit?

Kasi, you deserve the whole bakery.

Yes!

Kanta ka ba?

Bakit?

Paulit-ulit kitang isusulat sa wautak ko.

Ay!

Ngayon nalang ulit ako nakarinig ng pick-up line.

I'm gonna take a gum muna

kasi this boosts my confidence.

Okay, breath check muna.

Okay.

Bango, ready na ako.

Si Dan.

So we talked a lot about childhood

kasi yun yung first question niya

and tama siya about it.

Very sweet guy

and bunso siya eh.

So parang very loving

yung vibe na nabibigay niya sa akin.

Ewan ko, medyo kinilig ako dun sa pick-up line niya.

Yung sa kanta.

With Santi naman,

sabi niya ano eh,

100% magiging good boyfriend siya.

So ewan ko,

parang for me, si Santi,

too good to be true.

Not judging about it,

feeling ko he's a good guy

and siya na yung nagsabi na

nutritionist siya,

healthy yung food, healthy relationship.

So, yeah, I really hope na

maging healthy yung next relationship niya.

Medyo pet-thief ko yung mga ganun na guy,

yung mga bana.

Di nakakilig yun for me.

Feeling ko, nagpo-focus siya sa career niya now

and I respect if hindi pa siya ready

sa commitment.

I'm choosing this guy

kasi naging magaan

habang naguusap kami.

He's also curious about me.

Tapos feeling ko,

madami kami yung similarities.

Gusto ko rin na siya yung guy

na parang sweet and traditional.

Gusto ko when it comes to dating.

Yung standard ko kasi is K-drama.

So very traditional.

Gusto ko yung mga sweet-sweet,

kilig-kilig.

And feeling ko,

ganun siya.

Hi, Dan!

Hello!

I'm actually Monica.

Ikaw yung napili ko kasi

mas nagkaroon tayo ng connection.

Hindi parang pilit yung conversation.

And, ewan ko, kinilig ako.

Na-appreciate ko yung mga sinabi mo na

you're very traditional,

family-oriented,

and I feel like you're very passionate.

And, alam mo yun,

feeling ko, very loving ka nga.

Ready for a healthy relationship,

which yun yung hinahanap ko.

Alright, so are you guys ready for the reveal?

Uh, wait lang.

Pwede bang humiha ako ng gum?

Sorry, can I also have a gum?

Para fresh breath bago kami magkita.

So, here.

Thank you.

I think, pwede na.

Pwede na to take on a new date.

Hi!

Hello!

Hello! Hi, nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you.

I think I know her.

Oh, really?

Yeah, naikita kita.

Saan?

UST.

Oh, wow!

Yeah, it's really nice na makita ka

and to meet you really in person.

I want someone na makakavibe ko talaga

and ayun, makakamatch ko yung energy

without, um, kahit hindi ko pa nakita yung locks niya.

Yun lang, siguro nag-transcend din yung mga sinabi mo sa'kin,

which is, right now,

mas sussurative ka in terms of what you really want sa dating

and at the same time,

siguro nagmatch lang, siguro talaga yung energy sa'kin.

May nakabahan ka.

Medyo.

Sasama ka na sa'kin sa Pangasinan.

Ang sakit parang hindi pinide.

Joke.

Kidding aside lang.

Um, it was fun and

I learned din talaga yung impact ng personality dun,

kasi talaga,

Woo! Let's go!

May dinadamdaman.

O, galing ako sa exam, eh.

So, desperado ako.

Galing ako sa exam,

tapos dumiretso ako sa blind date.

Tapos hindi ako napili.

Alam niyo na,

hanapin niyo na lang ako sa IG.

Alam niyo naman na yung gusto ko.

So, napanood niyo naman,

just DM me.

Chicks, no?
