“Sa Wakas” is a Pinoy Rock Musical featuring the songs of Sugarfree. I was in high school when alternative rock bands were a thing. Their music is great, really. But of course, I only appreciated how good they sounded but couldn’t really feel or relate on how intense the lyrics are. Hindi pa totally maka-relate. Wala pang mapaghugutan, wala pa gaanong feels. Pero iba na ngayon. Ibang-iba. 

The first run of Sa Wakas was back in April 2013. I’ve read so much about it and what’s it about, thus making me want to watch it badly. I was really hesitant to watch this at first. For someone who’s going through a breakup, watching it felt like adding salt into my wound. But what the heck! Masokista na kung masokista. 😆 I really didn’t want to miss this. Paano kung wala nang re-run? And Hello? It features Sugarfree songs!

Their show ended last February 12 and no news yet as to when they’re going to do a re-run. But as they promised, they won’t take 4 years for the next re-run. So the story of Sa Wakas focuses on the dynamics of a failing relationship caused by a third party. *relate much*. It starts with the breakup scene. I know what you’re thinking, what a way to start a show right? Bes, umpisa palang parang pwede ka na mag-laslas. HAHA. Damang-dama ko yung breakup. 

Don’t worry, I won’t spoil you with the “whole” story but will just share to you some reasons why you need to watch it. Of course, if there will be any re-run. 😂

When you feel like giving up, like all of the weight of the world is on your shoulder, you will be reminded that someone will always be there for you. Someone you can hold onto. Someone who will never leave you no matter what happens.

“Kung wala ka ng makapitan, kapit ka sa akin. Hindi kita bibitawan”

It will remind you that at one point in every relationship, dadating at dadating yung time na mararamdaman mong may mga nagbabago. Ika nga, “It’s not always rainbows and butterflies”. Nasa inyo na if you’ll let such things ruin your relationship or just make it stronger.

Dahil katulad mo ako rin ay nagbago. Di na tayo katulad ng dati, kay bilis ng sandali. O kay tagal kitang minahal. Kung iisipin mo, di naman dati ganito. Teka muna teka lang. Kailan tayo nailang

It will make break you heart. Lexy and Topper have been together for years, and I myself know how painful it is to breakup with someone who have been a big part of your life.

Ito na ang ating huling gabi. Hagkan natin ang bawat sandaling nalalabi ng gabing kailanma’y di malilimutan. Habang mata’y nakapikit, niyakap mo akong mahigpit. Hanggang lumuhang kay pait. Hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang saglit.

It will make you feel that breaking up and being single ain’t a bad thing. FREEDOM at it’s finest, walang dapat i-worry when you’re going out, walang mangungulit kung nasaan ka na, walang magpupumilit uuwi kana at higit sa lahat, walang magagalit. Yun lang, masakit pa din kasi maaalala mo na noon may gumagawa nun sa’yo.

Kung hindi ka na babalik, araw araw na akong gigimik. Kung malayo ka na ay malaya na ako. Ngunit ang kahapon ko ay bihag pa rin ng alaala mo.

And of course, after all the pain… it will teach you how to move on. That it is okay to feel bad, to cry, to wallow but at the end of it all, you will be happy again. Kung walang forever sa pag-ibig, walang forever din sa lungkot at sakit. Na may makikilala ka na magiging dahilan ulit ng pag-ngiti mo. “Kwarto” and “Ikaw Pala” perfectly describes this.

‘Di ko na kayang mabuhay sa kahapon. Kaya mula ngayon, mula ngayon…

Ikaw pala ang aking hinahanap-hanap. Ikaw pala ang awit na di matanggal sakin isipan. Di na mahalaga kung saan ako dalhin ng hangin. Basta’t nandito ka saking piling

To the people behind Sa Wakas, SOBRANG SALAMAT! Hindi niyo lang binigyang buhay ulit ang mga kanta ng Sugarfree, but you all made me feel all of these emotions. Salamat sa isang malupit na Feels Trip. Honestly, para kong tinorture sarili ko nung nanood ako pero it was all worth it. Promise!

Me with Lexy, Topper and Gabby
