Cebuano fans support Sarah-John Lloyd loveteam

Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz were greeted with a jampacked mall when they visited Cebu for their tour of their upcoming movie A Very Special Love. SM Cebu was completely occupied by screaming and hysterical fans - it means that the Sarah-John Lloyd tandem is working! Writers Pilar Mateo and Julie Bonifacio say that Sarah and John Lloyd are completely comfortable with each other during the whole tour!

That answers all the skeptics and Bea-John Lloyd die hard fans.

I think that John Lloyd's ability to make another loveteam work despite being associated with Bea Alonzo for a long time means that he is really a great actor. I think he is one of the best Filipino actors today. Let's support his movie!

SARAH IS A REVELATION

Sa obserbasyon ng marami, lutang na lutang ang natural na husay sa pag-arte ng aktor pero kapansin-pansin din daw ang galing na ipinakita ng Pop Princess. Bagay na sinang-ayunan naman ni John Lloyd.

"Basta ang alam ko si Sarah, nag-shine siya sa movie na ito. She's the biggest revelation in this movie. Iisipin mo napakasimple lang ng role niya, kahit siya sinasabi niya na 'di malayo sa kanya. Light lang pero kung paano niya binigyan ng buhay 'yung light na sinasabi niya, kung alam ninyo lang kung gaano kahirap yun… I think any performer or actress will agree with me na 'di porke't sinabi mong light, 'di lang puro light ang atake talaga. Dalawang dimension yung atake niya, ang galing-galing.

"Habang nagda-dubbing ako nun, napapanood ko siya, bit by bit. Pero nung nakita ko siya nung isang latagan, sabi ko, 'di ko na kailangang i-promote, 'di ko na kailangang papurihan si Sarah. Marami-rami na kaming promotions na nagawa. Sinasabi ko ito hindi para i-promote yung pelikula namin pero sa tingin ko sobrang galing talaga ni Sarah dito."

Sa tanong namin kung bukas ba siya sa isang bagong proyekto na magkasama sila uli ni Sarah, nakakatakot ang isinagot sa PEP ng aktor.

"Nakakatakot kasi kung maging successful ang movie na ito, paano mo mapapantayan yung una? Nakatakot, but I would definitely welcome the idea of doing another movie movie with Sarah."

Sarah Geronimo - Ala-ala Mo Lyrics

Lagi kong kasama
Kahit sa pangarap lamang
Lagi kong kapiling
Sa puso ko
Magpakailanman
Ay aking tangan-tangan
Ala-ala mo

Laging iisipin
At hindi ko lilimutin
Lagi kang bahagi
Nitong buhay ko
Nasaan ka man
Ay laging nasa akin
Ala-ala mo

Chorus

Ala-ala mo
Ang nagbibigay pag-asa sa 'king buhay
Ala-ala mo
Ang liwanag na aking gabay
Sa bawat araw


Lagi kong Dalangin
Sana ay aking kayanin
Ang pangungulila ng damdamin
Nasaan ka man
Kalakip kong lagi
Ang ala-ala mo

Chorus

Sarah Geronimo - Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka

Tuwing ikaw ay nariyan
Sabay kong nadarama ang kaba at ligaya
Ang 'yong tinig wari ko'y di marinig
'Pagkat namamangha 'pag kausap ka

Kaya nais kong malaman mo
Ang sinisigaw nitong puso

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Ikaw kaya ay nais din
Akong makapiling at ibigin
O kay sarap namang isipin
Na tayong dalawa ay isa ang damdamin

Aking hinihiling na sabihin mo
Ang linalaman ng 'yong puso

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

O kay tagal ko nang naghihintay
Na sa akin ay mag-aalay
Ng pag-ibig na tunay at di magwawakas

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko..pangarap ko..pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Sarah Geronimo - Very Special Love

I never believed in love
I was deceived by love
I never had much luck with lovers before...

And I couldn't compete
I seemed just part of the street
To be walked on by everyone but then

Then, I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
And I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go...

You're not like the rest
I know you're one of the best
You give more than you should and take nothing in return

Stay always with me
And I always will be
The one person that you can count on always to love you

And I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
And I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

And I Found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go...

(Repeat and Fade Out)

Carry My Love lyrics

If there is something then at least just say it
I wanna know what this could mean for us
What do you have when it happens?
I think they call it love
I'll take a breath and let my feelings show
Cause we're exploring territories never known
Like the first time you sing
And all of the happiness it brings

Chorus:
Carry my love thru all the seasons
Carry my heart inside the reasons
You are my prayer - my every thought
That I will guard at any cost
You are my safe inside the storm
And in your arms I am at home
Every emotion that's uncharted
Gives me a joy from where we started


No matter if we take it slow
It doesn't really change a thing, you know?
It's like you fall thru the floor
And everyday being born into our love again
We're like the seams inside the picture we have sewn
And our reflection shines on every cornerstone
Our world begins with dawn
It's guiding us thru the midnight stars


Chorus


Answers :
(you're all my dreams)
We keep the best things and the good we have
(you're everything)
We count our blessings everyday we can
(safe in my heart)
I wanna say the words and know they're truthful
(I love who you are)
With all the love around you know I need you
(without you I'm lost)
You are a dream I hope will never end
For all the beauty of you making love to me again
Tell me I won't be alone
That we'll be together for all time

Chorus

I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) lyrics

And I would do anyhting for love

I’d run right into hell and back

I woul do anything for love

I’ll never lie to you and that’s a fact

But I’ll never forget the way you feel right now
Oh no no way

I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love

But I won’t do that

Some days, It don’t come easy

Some days, It don’t come hard

Some days, It don’t come at all

And these are the days that never end



Refrain2:

Some nights you’re breathing fire

Some nights you’re cold as ice

Some nights you’re like nothing

I’ve ever seen before

Or will again



Maybe I’m crazy

Oh crazy

But it’s crazy

And It’s true

I know you can save me

No one else can save but you



As long as the planets are turning

As long as the stars are burning

As long as your dreams are coming true

You better believe it



Chorus



But I won’t do that



Refrain and Refrain 2



Maybe I’m lonely

But it’s all that I glorify to be

That’s just one and only

The one and only promise I can keep

As long as the fire are burning

As long as the prayers are coming true

You better believe it



Chorus



Oh no



Chorus



But I won’t do that

But I won’t do that

Ibulong Sa Hangin lyrics

Halata ba sa ‘king mga mata

Na ako ay may nais ipadama

Ngunit ako ay nangangamba

Baka may masaktang iba


Halata ba sa kilos ko’t galaw

Puso ko’y may nais isigaw

Ngunit ‘di mabigkas ng labi

Nag-aalangan kung tama o mali



Chorus:

Ano bang dapat kong gawin

Sa magulong isip at damdamin

Di ko yata kayang sabihin

Wala na ‘kong magagawa kung di

Ibulong sa Hangin



Halata ko sa ‘yong mga mata na

Mayroon kang nais pabatid

Sana’y hanggang dito na lamang

Pagkat ayaw ko rin masaktan



Chorus



Sa hangin kita hahagkan at yayakapin

Wag kang mag-alala di to malalaman ng iba



Chorus

If Only lyrics

You came into my life and made me see

That I can learn to breath and live again

But it seems that you've had a change of heart

And everything we have, you're willing to throw away
Did you ever feel that I can ever love you for real

Why did you have to go

Baby I need you so



Chorus

If only I can be back in your arms again

That I can make you feel the love we knew back then

Maybe you and I would see forever

If only I can be back in your arms again



Oh how can I ever make you know
That you are simply everything to me

And how can I make you believe

That I would truly live and die for you

I can't understand how you could ever break my heart

Why did you have to go

Baby I need you so



Chorus

Just Believe lyrics

Here you go again ready to give up,

Feeling so pressure again. enough is enough,

believe me or not you're not alone

Evryone's hope is running thin
but it's never as bad as it seems



Chorus:

Just believe, things can do get better,

just believe, your spirit can sow higher,

just believe, tomorrow can shine brighter,

all you got to do is just believe



Every now and then, nothing turns out right, you will feel

so unlove as you cry through the night

Believe me or not, you're not alone



Evryone's hope is running thin

but it's ever as bad as it seems.



(rep chorus)



Sad moments so bad to make us appreciate the happy times,

we aslways seem to take for granted

Always taken for granted

oh oh oh oh



Just believe, things can do get better,

just believe, your spirit can sow higher,

just believe, tomorrow can shine brighter,



No need to feel down, turn face around,

all you got to do is just believe

no need to feel down

you can turn face around,

you can do it if you just believe

just believe

Narito lyrics

Narito ako ngayon
Naghihintay na bigyan mo ng pansin
Pagmamahal na sa'yo lang ibibigay
'Wag mo sanang limutin
Ako'y sa 'yo habang buhay
At kahit hindi mo pa kayang buksan ang iyong puso'y
Hindi maglalaho itong pag-ibig ko

Pagkat narito ang puso kong nagmamahal
Maghihintay kahit gaano katagal
Ikaw lamang ang nagbigay ng pag-asa
Narito ang puso ko

Nang makilala ka'y hindi lang nagkataon
Pagkat alam kong ikaw ang makakasama
Sa habang panahon

Pagkat narito ang puso kong nagmamahal
Maghihintay kahit gaano katagal
Ikaw lamang ang tunay kong ligaya
Narito ang puso ko

(narito ang puso kong nagmamahal)
(maghihintay)Maghihihtay
(kahit gaano katagal)
(ikaw lamang)Ikaw lamang
(ang nagibgay ng pag-asa)Pag-asa
(narito)Narito, narito, narito
(narito)
Ang puso ko

Sa Iyo lyrics

You came into my life and made me see

That I can learn to breath and live again

But now it seems that you've had a change of heart

And everything we have, you're willing to throw away
Did You ever feel that I can ever love you for real

Why did you have to go Baby I need you so

If only I can be Back in your arms again

Then I can make you feel the love we knew back then

Maybe you and I would see forever

If only I can be Back in your arms again

And how can I make you believe

That I would truly live and die for you

I can't understand how you could ever break my heart

Why did you have to go Baby I need you so



If only I can be Back in your arms again

Then I can make you feel the love we knew back then

If only I can be Back in your arms again

Then I can make you feel the love we knew back then

Maybe you and I would see forever

If only I can be Back in your arms again

When I Met You lyrics

When I Met You
Rendition By: Sarah Geronimo
Originally Sang By: Regine Velasquez

I
There I was, an empty piece of a shell
Just minding my own world
Without even known, what love and life were all about
Then you came,
You've brought me out of the shell
You gave me the world to me, and before
I knew, there I was so inlove with you

Chorus
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feeling
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existent
And it all began, when I met you

II
I love the touch of your hand
And when I look in your eyes, I just know
I know, I wanted something good
And I'm sure, my love for you will endure
Your love light up my world and take all my cares
Away where they've be part of me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My love, is different from the yesterday
I knew, you taught me to love
And darling, I will always cherish you!
Today, tomorrow and forever...

And I'm sure, our evening will come around
I know, we'll be making love, like never before
My love, who could asked for more

(Repeat Chorus)
When I met you...(When I met you)

Forever's Not Enough lyrics

Sarah Geronimo

'Forever's not Enough'



If I would have to live my life again
I'd stay in love with you the way I've been

Your love is something no one ever can replace

I can't imagine life with someone else

I promise, I will share my life with you

Forever may not be enough it's true

My heart is filled with so much love

I feel for you

No words can say how much I love you so



CHORUS:

And if forever's not enough for me to love you

I'd spent another lifetime baby,

If you ask me to

There's nothing I won't do

Forever's not enough to love you so



They say tomorrow seems so far away,

And now we see that everything can change

My love for you gets stronger as tomorrow comes

I know this love will stand

In the test of time



Chorus



For you, there's nothing I can't do

And never will I ever go

Forever's not enough to love you so

But if forever is one day

I promise you I'll stay to show you

That my love for you will never end...



Repeat Chorus 2x

It's All Coming Back To Me Now lyrics

There were nights when the wind was so cold

That my body froze in bed

If I just listened to it

Right outside the window


There were days when the sun was so cruel

That all the tears turned to dust

And I just knew my eyes were

Drying up forever



I finished crying in the instant

that you left

And I can't remember where

or when or how

And I banished every memory

you and I had ever made



But when you touch me like this

And you hold me like that

I just have to admit

That it's all coming back to me



When I touch you like this

And I hold you like that

It's so hard to believe but

It's all coming back to me

(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)



There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things I'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than any laws allow

Baby baby



If I kiss you like this

And if you whisper like that

It was lost long ago

But it's all coming back to me

If you want me like this

And if you need me like that

It was dead long ago

But it's all coming back to me

It's so hard to resist

And it's all coming back to me

I can barely recall

But it's all coming back to me now

But it's all coming back



There were those empty threats and hollow lies

And whenever you tried to hurt me

I just hurt you even worse

And so much deeper



There were hours that just went on for days

When alone at last we'd count up

all the chances

That were lost to us forever



But you were history with the slamming of the door

And I made myself so strong again somehow

And I never wasted any of my time on you since then



But if I touch you like this

And if you kiss me like that

It was so long ago

But it's all coming back to me

If you touch me like this

And if I kiss you like that

It was gone with the wind

But it's all coming back to me

(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)



There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things we'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than all your laws allow

Baby, Baby, Baby



When you touch me like this

And when you hold me like that

It was gone with the wind

But it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this

And when I see you like that

Then we see what we want to see

All coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies

All coming back to me

I can barely recall

But it's all coming back to me now



If you forvive me all this

If I forgive you all that

We forgive and forget

And it's all coming back to me

When you see me like this

And when I see you like that

We see just want we want to see

All coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies

All coming back to me

I can barely recall but it's all coming

back to me now



(It's all coming back to me now)

And when you kiss me like this

(It's all coming back to me now)

And when I touch you like that

(It's all coming back to me now)

If you do it like this

(It's all coming back to me now)

And if we.

We Are Tomorrow lyrics

What do we have to do?
To make our dreams come true
Where do we have to go?
To find the chosen notes
We can make it if we try
Without anger without pride
How do we find the sight?
To see what’s wrong or right
When will we see the day?
When peace on earth forever reigns
We can make it if we try
No more sorrows no more lies
Chorus:
We are tomorrow
We are the hope for a better day
We are the future
If stand strong and find a way
We can make a brighter sunshine through
This darkness of our lives

Why do we have to fight?
If people say that love is might
Can’t we forget the hate?
And together march to heaven’s gate
We can make it if we try
No more sorrows no more lies
Repeat Chorus
If every body can see
If every body can see
If every body can believe
If every body can believe
Repeat chorus

Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan lyrics

Paano kita mapasasalamatan
Sa puso mong sa’kin ibinigay
Ngayon lamang ako nag mahal ng tunay
Sa tanang aking buhay
Sapat na ban a ako ay mangako
Mananatili ka dito sa’king puso
Paano kita mapasasalamatan
Sapat naba mahalin lang kita
Mag pakailan pa man
Ngayon lamang ako nag mahal ng tunay
Sa tanang aking buhay
Sapat naba ang akoy mangako
Mananatili ka dito sa aking puso
Paano kita mapasasalamatan
Sapat na bang mahalin lang kita
Sapat nabang mahalin lang kita (4x)
Magpakailan man

To Love You More lyrics

Take me back in the arms I love
Need me like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more

Don't go you know you will break my heart
She won't love you like I will
I'm the one who'll stay
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

See me as if you never knew
Hold me so you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

And some way all the love that we had can be saved
Whatever it takes we'll find a way

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
Can't you see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

Felt So Right lyrics

I love you I dont know what else to say
Cause I look for you more each day
I need you I want to feel your embrace
And have the chance to touch your face

I was lost in the road
But you showed me the way
Now i called you my own
There's will never be the same

Refrain

How could I know
You will hold me close so tenderly
Even though I'm alone
I can feel your arms in folding me
At that night, you can mine in just one night
When you held me tight
Ohhh it felt so right

I feel you your always here in my heart
It never reflects your sense before apart
I was lost in the road but you showed me the way
Can't go on on my own
Wishing that you would stay

Repeat Refrain

I Still Believe In Loving You lyrics

Just when I thought our love was here to stay
Just when I thought you'll never ever go away
You said it's time for you to go
But I'm not sure I really know
Why you are leaving

And when we finally say our last goodbye
I'll never make it hard for you
You won't even see me cry
And though there's tears inside of me
I'm gonna let your heart go free
Before you leave
There's just one thing
That I want you to know

Chorus:
I still believe in loving you
Inspite of all the hurts that I'm going through
Even if again and again you'd break my heart
One thing would never change
I still believe in loving you


If you would tell me that you'll be alright
I'll never let you see me blue
But I'll keep our love alive
And though I'm feeling incomplete
I guess that this is what you need
Before you leave
There's just one thing
That I want you to know


Repeat Chorus

Special Love

"A Very Special Love" is this year's romantic-comedy film featuring the first team-up of Geronimo and Cruz.

The story revolves around Miggy (Cruz) of the Montenegro clan, a rich man who owns several businesses including a publishing firm that he manages; and Laida (Geronimo), the breadwinner of her family.

She is hired as an editorial assistant for Miggy's magazine 'Bachelor.' Eventually Miggy decides to make Laida his own personal assistant and even forces Laida to pretend to be his girlfriend during an event.

The question is whether a snobbish and elitist man like Miggy can fall for a simple woman like Laida.

The movie is a story of two young people from totally different worlds who will discover that love can transcend boundaries.

Aside from Cruz and Geronimo, the film cast includes Joross Gamboa, Matet de Leon, Al Tantay, Gio Alvarez, Irma Adlawan, Marianna del Rio, Miles Ocampo and CJ Jaravata.

John Lloyd is Sarah Geronimo's first kiss

Young actor John Lloyd Cruz is singer Sarah Geronimo's first big screen kiss.

Geronimo refused to give details of their kissing scene, and just encouraged the viewing public to watch their first movie together entitled "A Very Special Love" which premieres Wednesday, July 30th.

"Abangan niyo na lang po 'yun (first kiss) sa movie," Geronimo said.

When asked if Cruz was her first kiss in real life, Geronimo just smiled and refused to comment.

After three months of working together, Cruz and Geronimo developed a friendship that they said they will definitely miss.

"Si Sarah kasi ang pinaka-genuine na taong nakilala ko sa business hindi natatakot ipakita kung sino siya. Walang front, walang pretensions sobrang totoo lang ang makikita mo at saka 'yung appetite niya," Cruz said.

"Pareho din si John Lloyd napaka-genuine na tao. Napasaya niya ako, 'yun lang," Geronimo added.

Geronimo, who turned 20 on Friday, July 25th admitted that she received a Louie Vuitton makeup kit from her leading man.

The birthday celebrator before blowing her cake's candle wished only for the success of their film.

"God please, success of the movie," Geronimo wished.

Sarah Geronimo, superstar?

Know there will be vehement, if not violent reactions, to this column's title from die-hard Noranians here and abroad, but it seems that the time has come for them to accept that Nora Aunor, a dear friend and fellow Bicolano (she comes from the city of Iriga in Camarines Sur and I from the poor town of Libon in the province of Albay), can now live in peace and quiet and relish her glory days as the Philippines first real superstar.

And she should be happy that another girl is captivating the country's imagination, enthralling millions of Filipinos with her performances as a singer and now drawing thousands to the multiplexes to watch her in the movie A Very Special Love.

No, this isn't an exaggeration because I (along with other friends) queued for tickets at the Glorietta 4 cinemas to catch the 8:15 p.m. screening of the movie on its opening day last week. Lo, and behold, the line of excited fans was already snaking around the lobby an hour before the scheduled screening.

Glorietta 4 has a standing policy of no-SRO (Standing Room Only) but it seemed that on that particular screening, the policy was breached as there were people standing at the back and others seated on the aisle.

As the house lights dimmed after a spate of theatrical trailers and commercials for the main feature, the crowd settled down but not for long as they screamed in delight, laughed and even gave Sarah Geronimo's performance occasional but very enthusiastic applause.

For nearly two hours, everyone (nearly a thousand people in the theater) was mesmerized by the girl from Sta. Cruz, Manila, who won the grand prize in an amateur singing contest on television with her nearly perfect coming timing, a natural flair for drama, and a naturalistic approach to acting.

Surprisingly, she had John Lloyd Cruz in her palms and the poor guy had no choice but keep himself in acting cadence with the singer-turned-actor in both the comedic and dramatic sequences.

The movie opened with P14 million gross in more than a hundred screens across the archipelago, and that is no mean feat, especially these days when Tagalog-language movies are being thrashed at the box office by Hollywood blockbusters. This only proves that the new generation of Filipino movie audience is ready for their own screen heroine, not someone passed on to them by their parents or grandparents.

The movie is a co-production between ABS-CBN's Star Cinema and Viva Films. Credits go as well to the effective promotion the network did for the movie, it did wonders for the creation of awareness for Sarah Geronimo's first full-length role. The plugs that run till the wee hours had everyone saying, this must be some interesting stuff why not watch it.

So, Vic del Rosario Jr. is very elated over the box-office results of his new movie. I was on the phone with him the day after I went to watch the movie to congratulate him personally. He said the box-office results were not expected, but he was hoping it would do better than what they projected. The first day gross nearly had him gasping for breath in incredulity. But now, I hope it has sunk in his mind that Viva (who created the megastar) has created a new superstar.

John Lloyd and Sarah talk about ‘love'

During their press conference for the movie 'A Very Special Love', John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo got more personal by revealing their sentiments on love.

John Lloyd has always been open about his relationship with fashion editor, Liz Uy and he describes it as the most mature relationship that he had so far.

"Siguro kasabay na rin ang pagkaka-edad ko," he began. He said that his girlfriend views things in a wide perspective, even their relationship.

"We have less pressure in making the relationship work," John Lloyd said. He explained that they have set directives to make their commitment beneficial to both of them.

On the other hand, Sarah Geronimo said that falling in love is not something you plan for. But right now, the 19-year-old singer said that she is not yet ready to have a boyfriend.

"Hindi pa ganun ka-broad yung knowledge ko sa mga bagay-bagay at ayoko din pong ma-disappoint ang taong yon. Gusto ko kung magkaka-boyfriend man ako, gusto ko po sana siya na ang pakakasalan ko. Ganun po ang 'A Very Special Love' aking mentality," she shared.

She mentioned too that she has a crush but has decided to keep mum about it. "Nakakahiya po sa kanya," the teen star giggled. Sarah admitted also that there's a singer-actor who's 'umaaligid' but she's not taking his advances seriously.

When asked if they would consider falling in love with each other should the circumstances be different, John Lloyd immediately answered 'Yes!' while Sarah blushed and jokingly asked for help from her mom.

The two then enthused that they have built a good friendship during the shoot of 'A Very Special Love.'

They share common interests like love for food, particularly Filipino cuisine and keeping positive about a lot of things in life.

"Pareho naming love na love tumawa aloud. Pero kaming masayahing tao. At first kala ko napakaseryoso niyang tao eh. Parang mahirap lapitan. Parang hindi ka kakausapin. Pero hindi pala. Ok pala siya," Sarah said about her co-star.

'A Very Special Love' is directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and will be shown in theaters on July 30.

John Lloyd finds happiness with Sarah Geronimo

Talented actor John Lloyd Cruz faces changes in his life and career as he turns 25 this coming Tuesday, June 24.

In a press conference, Cruz shared that aside from having a new movie, he also has a new on-screen partner -- a partner that he consider as a new source of happiness, and that is no other than the country's Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo.

"Kasi talagang si Sarah OK kami, nag-click kami. So we are very happy together kapag nasa set kami gumagawa ng eksena," Cruz said about his new leading lady for new movie "All About Love."

Cruz told abs-cbnNEWS.com that he enjoyed every moment with Geronimo during filming.

"Yung trabaho mahirap na so hahanap ka ng source of joy doon sa mismong trabaho--at hindi ako nahihirapang hanapin yon. Dumadali siya dahil sa mga taong nandoon sa loob ng trabaho, everyday you look forward na magshu-shooting ka, gumagaan," the actor said.

The actor also refused to answer if there will be a kissing scene in the movie.

Cruz and Geronimo worked together for a special episode of ABS-CBN's longest-running drama anthology "Maalaala Mo Kaya." The MMK episode has been shown at least thrice due to public demand.

Cruz who had been identified with his long-time on-screen partner, actress Bea Alonzo, admitted that he feels some trepidation over how audiences will accept that he has a new love team.

"Well may takot may kaba pero mas higit yung excitement kung paano at kung tatanggapin ba ng totoong taga-suporta ko yung pelikula."

He added: "Yun nga ang parang somehow parang challenge ko sa mga talagang tunay na susuporta sa akin. Kasi magandang chance ito para makita ko na pwede mo akong iparehas sa iba at pwede pa din akong suportahan."

"Maganda din itong move--medyo daring lang in a sense na yung iba ay nagbabanta na boboykotin, hindi susuportahan. Pero ako naniniwala na yung mga taga-suporta namin ni Bea they know better than that," Cruz said.

Cruz is also set to do a series of shows with heartthrobs Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby abroad for the last quarter of this year.

With a new partner and new projects lined up for Cruz, he still finds time to share his blessings. As a post birthday celebration, Cruz is set to go Katutubo Village in Porac, Pampanga to help in a free medical check-up to young Aetas.

When asked about his birthday wish, the actor replied: "Hindi ko sinasabing nasa akin na lahat pero gusto kong isipin na lahat ng kailangan ko ay mayroon ako. Maaaring higit pa sa kailangan ko ay mayroon ako, pasasalamat na lang, maraming salamat na lang sa lahat ng mga tao at narating ko ang dapat kong marating."

Cruz, who is very private when it comes to his love life, also shared that as of the moment he has not yet set a date on when he will get married.

"Ako wala pa po sa (isip ko) wala pa, hindi ako nagse-set ng edad. Kasi baka sabihin ko 30 pero baka halimbawa next year mangyari. Walaa kong sini-set kumbaga kung kailan siya dumating kung kailan dapuan 'yon na 'yon.

Recently, Vince Uy, brother of his sweetheart Liz Uy said that they really welcome the actor to their family.

"Masyado lang mabait ang family nila. Kumbaga they only have good words for people, siguro nagkataon lang na mas malapit lang ako sa kanila, napakabait ng pamilya noon," Cruz said.

When asked if he still have a dream role he would like to portray, Cruz said: "Ang dream role ko, kasi ngayon ang nakaka-challenge sa akin ay yung mga roles na akala mo ay simple lang yung natural lang sa mga tao. Yun pala yung pinakamahirap na i-portray kung ano ang normal at kung ano ang natural doon ako mas nahihirapan ngayon."

Cruz said that right now he is taking a break from doing television dramas. He is set to do movies this year.

John Lloyd Cruz is considered one of the country's most promising young dramatic actors.

Starting as a teen star, John Lloyd first appeared in "Gimik" and "Tabing Ilog" as Kaye Abad's love team.

Cruz is a member of ABS-CBN's Star Magic family. His other television credits include "Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay," "It Might Be You",and currently "Maging Sino Ka Man."

He starred in the movies "Nagbibinata," "Mahal na Kung Mahal," "My First Romance," "Now That I Have You," "Dubai," "Close To You" and "One More Chance."

Sarah Geronimo - A Very Special Love lyrics

A Very Special Love

I never believed in love
I was deceived by love
I never had much luck with lovers before

And I couldn't compete
I seemed just part of the street
To be walked on by everyone but then

Then, I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
And I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

You're not like the rest
I know you're one of the best
You give more than you should and take nothing in return

Stay always with me
And I always will be
The one person that you can count on always to love you

And I found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
And I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

And I Found a very special love in you
It's a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over, it's burning inside
I found a very special love in you
And it almost breaks me in two
Squeezing me tighter
But I'm never gonna let go

(repeat and fade out)

Singing, acting come naturally to Filipina diva Sarah Geronimo

Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo was born to parents Delfin Geronimo and Divina Tua-Geronimo. The third of four children — with siblings Johna Rizzie, Sunshine Grace and Ezekiel Gabriel — Sarah grew up in a rented house in Sta. Cruz, Manila on July 25, 1988. She is also the niece of the TV host of Ating Alamin and owner of a TV production company, Gerry Geronimo.

To say that Sarah possesses a natural love of performing is an understatement. She actively participated in school programs and joined many singing contests throughout her childhood. At the age of three, she was cast in the children's show Pen pen de Sarapen. She also took part in For Kids Only and Hiraya Manawari and later became one of the first batch of stars in the hit kid's afternoon program Ang TV. Yet it was Sarah's knack for singing that would cause her father to focus on developing her talent by enrolling her at the Center for Pop Music, Philippines at six years of age. Her father also encouraged little Sarah to train at home for two hours each day.

In September 2003, Geronimo released her debut album entitled Popstar: A Dream Come True. The album received multiple awards and sold more than 180,000 copies. She also staged a highly successful first solo concert at the Music Museum in the same year. The album produced different singles including "Forever's Not Enough" as well as "Sa Iyo."
Aside from singing, Geronimo also acted in supporting roles in films such as Filipinas, Captain Barbell, and Annie B.. After winning in Star for a Night, she appeared in several GMA Network shows until she finally landed a contract for several programs at TV giant ABS-CBN, her home studio until now.

Geronimo signed an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN and had her first major break in the acting field starring in the teen soap opera, entitled Sarah: The Teen Princess, an allusion to her cameo role as a child in Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa (The Little Princess) where she played the role of the main character's (Camille Prats) playmate. She also became a mainstay in the Sunday noontime variety show, ASAP.

In November 2004, Geronimo released her second album entitled Sweet Sixteen which achieved gold status in one week. The album has since reached double-platinum status in The Philippines, with a raft of top-tier singles and catchy music videos.

Sarah, along with other reality star search winners Rachelle Ann Go and Erik Santos, staged the Night of the Champions concert at the Araneta Coliseum, which also went on a highly successful tour in the U.S. She also played the leading lady opposite singer Mark Bautista, in the fantasy film Lastikman.

Geronimo sang the theme song for ABS-CBN's Star Circle Quest winners Hero Angeles and Sandara Park's, launching their movie Can This Be Love, which was released as a maxi-single and achieved gold record status in one month's time. She also became a mainstay in the fourth season of the weekly teen-oriented show, SCQ Reload, Kilig Ako, replacing Sandara Park as Hero Angeles' love team partner.

In the summer of 2005, Sarah reunited with her fellow Champions for a U.S. Tour of Pinoy Idols: Return Of The Champions, which was staged in selected cities in the U.S. for a two-month period.

Sarah went on to perform in her first major solo concert, The Other Side at the renowned Araneta Coliseum. Viva Records released a live album of the filmed tour in Araneta Coliseum named The Other Side: Live Album.

This year marks another milestone in her career as she lead the cast of one of ABS-CBN's top-rated prime time soap operas, Bituing Walang Ningning (Lackluster Star), an adaptation of the 1985 Philippine hit movie classic. Here, she starred as aspiring singer Dorina Pineda, a role originally played by Philippine's Megastar Sharon Cuneta. She released a soundtrack of the series, which achieved gold status.

Her third solo album entitled Becoming was released in August 2006, reaching gold status in just one week and platinum a month after its release date. The album yielded three commercial singles: "I Still Believe In Loving You," "Carry My Love," and "Iingatan Ko Ang Pag-ibig Mo."

Geronimo continued to spread her wings globally as she staged concerts in Taiwan, Canada, Alaska, and Dubai. She also held a The Other Side U.S. Tour in San Diego, Hanford, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu, Maui, Washington DC and Atlantic City. While in the U.S. in November 18, 2006, she was chosen by Philippines' boxing champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao to sing the Philippine National Anthem (Lupang Hinirang) preceding his third super featherweight fight encounter against Mexico's Erik "El Terrible" Morales at the UNLV Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

She is currently a mainstay of ASAP '07, a once-a-week, noontime musical variety show, and also hosts Little Big Superstar, a reality star search program for aspiring child performers that has recently concluded its third season. Geronimo released a new single "Reach For The Sky" which was included on the soundtrack for "Little Big Superstar" along with co-host Makisig Morales. She also took the female lead role in ABS-CBN's primetime drama Pangarap Na Bituin opposite Jericho Rosales and alongside Maja Salvador, Nikki Gil and Rica Peralejo.

Also, she staged a sold-out second major solo concert last July 14, 2007 at the Araneta Coliseum entitled Sarah Geronimo In Motion. Sarah also concluded Sarah Geronimo In Motion U.S. tour last August-September 2007 with an astounding reception from Filipino communities in the U.S.

Shortly after staging her second solo major concert, she released her fourth studio album entitled Taking Flight which achieved gold status in a short period of time after its release. Taking Flight's lead single "I'll Be Alright" topped different charts in The Philippines as well as the second single "Ikaw." Unlike the music video for "Ikaw," "I'll Be Alright" sources its live video form her In Motion Tour recorded live in the Araneta Coliseum.

Geronimo is set to release a DVD that tour in early 2008.
