Advertisements and the marketing world are now using Aldub to entice you to buy that milk, that fried chicken, and that can of sardines, but do you know that you can put this monster of a phenomenon to use to enrich your love life?
The place and time: October 24, 2015 at 1pm, the Philippine Arena, Bulacan, Philippines.
The main aspects: Moon, conjunct Chiron, conjunct Neptune in Pisces, first house, sextile Pluto in Capricorn. Moon opposition Venus (which is conjunct Jupiter and Mars).
The phenomenon: A fifty-five thousand-seater stadium gets packed to the ceiling (Moon=masses) for a Cinderella-meets-prince (Venus-Mars) noontime television (Uranus) show (Neptune).
Again, the chart shows the masses (Moon) numbering up to forty million hypnotized and obsessed (Neptune) with a Cinderella-esque love story (Venus) expanded/broadcasted (Jupiter) on television (Uranus) and the internet (Uranus).
Intense (Pluto) mixture of anticipation and other feel-good emotions (Venus and Mars) pours out. Filipinos are one of the surreal romantics of the world.

What happens when we listen, see, read, and narrate stories? Our right brain goes to work, creating and re-creating the images until your feel-good as well as feel-love hormones are activated. The left brain functions too, but mostly it’s the right brain that lights up, full of empathy, images, colors, and even sweet, crazy poetry.
Yes indeed, stories can make your lovelife better. Learn from the Aldub story to make your lovelife better:
1. Activate your imagination. This is your chance to daydream. While on it, make sure that you remember the sweet, titillating images you are creating. Write your daydream if you have to!
2. Arrange the images in a sequence and start creating your own love story or mini love saga. Just make sure that you have a beginning, middle, and (happy) ending in your story. If your story plot is Cindrella, for example, make sure that you wear the glass slipper and live happily ever after with her prince.
Be careful! Don’t create a ‘beginning’ only story—unless you want to spend your life being ordered about while sweeping ashes in the kitchen. Go figure.

3. Now that you’ve created your very own love story, play it over and over in your mind whenever possible. Do this with intensity, with all your positive feelings, with all your heart. Come on, it’s your love story! Your happy life depends on it.
Play and replay it wherever and whenever possible: on the bus, while waiting for the MRT, while seated at the dentist’s lobby, before going to sleep, after waking up. You can add or take away details, but make sure you stay faithful to your one theme, love.

Your love life becomes alive depending on the love story that you tell yourself again and again. 80% of your love life reside in the realm of the dreamy psyche and 20% reside in the conscious. This is why we could not really understand it and could only hopelessly express it in songs like Crazy Thing Called Love.
The good thing is, when you re-live it and celebrate it again and again, it becomes real in your life. Your partner responds to your happiness and showers you more and more with the same. You release those feel-good hormones that heal the illnesses of humanity. Indeed, love is all you need.

It is common knowledge that love stories rake a billion-dollar annual income. Stories are powerful. They can make or break an entire nation.
Last October 24, when you saw Aldub getting the whole archipelago cheering, hollering till they’re hoarse while wiping off tears of hope, and joy, go figure.
