X My Heart Series

Xenaki Brothers

released April 2011

Kenneth | Armand | Fernando | Brent

 

Trivia:

  • doing a series was far from my mind although hindi naman iyon malayong gawin ko. alam ko lang kasi na mahirap. ayokong gumawa ng series na walang totohanang kwento na tumutuhog sa kanila. hindi kasi series para sa akin iyong nagkataon lang na magkakamag-anak o magkakaibigan sila. pero well, sige na nga. eto, nabuo na sila.
  • bakit X? kasi X marks the spot, kasi X my heart, at mahilig sila sa x-games. ‘yun actually ang gusto kong highlight pero dahil mahilig na nga din ako sa sundalo, the boys became soldiers. i had thought na tig-isa silang branch ng military pero okay na. pwede na silang lahat sa army.
  • Kenneth’s peg is Greek model/actor/singer Kostas Martakis.
  • Armand is also a Greek model/actor/singer, Sakis Rouvas.
  • Fernando is Rodrigo Santoro (Xerxes of the movie 300, Tulio of the animated film Rio, and … i forgot his name sa What to expect when you’re expecting); i got his name/nickname from a guy whom i knew only by reputation from our church in Frisco. i liked Fernando but i didn’t want a nickname like Ferds or Fernan or Andoy or some such.
  • Brent is Ben Barnes. kailangan ko ba i-enumerate kung saang movie siya lumabas?
  • i wrote the series at about the same time Elise Estrella was writing the first batch of Sentinels. which is why, you may notice, intertwined ang mga kwento nila.
  • dito din nag-umpisa ang pact namin ni Elise na lahat ng characters ko na de-baril ay kaniya, at gano’n din sa mga characters niya. lahat ng names ng mga girlfriend / asawa ng boys ay may bahid ng pangalan ni Elise. 🙂

    multiply entry by freeverse34 on 21Nov2011:

    for me brent‘s story is a combination of friendship, laughter, tears and love. i laughed while reading the flashbacks, prologue and epilogue. napakita yung friendship na nabuo between pol, armand, edward and tabitha especially that of tabitha and edward. thus i was able to understand the closeness that they have. na-enjoy ko rin yung parang ligaw tingin mode nina tabitha at brent nung nasa PMA sila. nakakatuwa! nakakateenager mode lang for me. tumulo ang luha ko sa scene wherein tabitha saw edward’s condition kasi naman detailed description ng sinapit ni edward. naluha tuloy ako. honestly, parang na-absorb ko talaga ang nararamdaman ni tabitha ng mga panahon na yun at the same time nasaktan ako for brent kasi marinig mo ba namang sabihin ni tabitha na God, si edward ko! ouch lang! pero hands down ako kay brent nagawa niyang maghintay at gawing inspiration ang love niya for tabitha. love is indeed patient and kind. in fairness ha si pol pala hindi lang puro pagkain ang inaatupag at napapansin. at least sa book na ito nakita ko na inencourage niya si brent na i-pursue si tabitha dahil nahalata niya (pati na rin ni edward, armand, jannah) na nagkakagustuhan yung dalawa 🙂
