The Question of My Ex and Whys started when a girl named Calixta "Cali" Ferrer, had a heartbreaking past to guy named Sergio "Gio" Martinez.

With all her heart and mind, She gave her 100% Trust to Gio. However, Promise is not a reliable word in the movie. As what her Father did to her mother, Gio breaks Cali's poor heart. and this what make Cali a Pusong Bato (Heart that is hard like a stone)
Rage and Despair surrounds Cali after the heartbreaking encounter. She started to make a blog about heartbreaks and especially why Cheaters should never be forgotten, why exes would never be together again and from that She created the "Bakit List" Why List (Bakit List Girl) with her code name, Delilah.

Then She became famous for her different style of blogging, and became an ambassador which leads her to meet Gio in person again, The guy who brokes her heart.

BAKIT LIST OF CALI
Bakit List Why List is a blog that made by Cali, which technically she was called 'The Bakit List Girl' It was a refreshing in the eye to use this idea where in they made a character with a blogging hobbies that made the movie more interesting especially to me cause I am fond of blogging. The List is containing of all the questions that Cali is urge to know, Why why why.

"Bakit #143: Bakit … ang hirap?”
(Why #143: Why... It is hard?)
“How can I ask for it if I denied the man the same forgiveness and trust?”
Ouch! I feel the Pain and devastating heart of Cali. While I was watching her, you can see her wrecked eyes and grieve heart. My eyes are teary in every thing she says. Honestly I've never been in a relationship but this one got me, it got me big time! It's like I can feel those words and thoughts she's hiding in those smiles.
“Ang totoong magpapakamatay ‘di nagpapaalam. Bakit kapag nagpakamatay ba sya titigil sa pambabae boyfriend nya?”
(If She really going to kill herself, She'll never say goodbye. Why? Does her boyfriend will stop being a womanizer if she died?)
You might laugh and thinks that her "Bakit List" is silly and just for fame but NO. She really want to express and let go of all the pain she's hiding. And this what I like about the movie, The feeling is emphasize, The realistic happening in our generation. Women, Men, Gay, Lesbian, Trans gender. Who ever you are, You're vulnerable of the pain.

Left: So in just one sorry, You want to be forgiven already?
Right: It's not just one sorry, I've done it many times, but you didn't care about me, Until you move in your new house, Until I've never see you anymore. I Search for you but I didn't found you..
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
This facts that made the movie alive is the Like Father like son scenes. Where in, Gio with his brothers and of course their father is a certified womanizer in different ways. Thats why Gio was called that he is from the family of cheaters.
I think this made Cheating Man who cheats onto their girlfriend or wife as a society norms, Its been a normal situation in every places in the world and this leads to a much suffering of every family. Married to Divorce, Thats just so sad. So I felt Mixed emotions while watching this scenes.

In the movie, they show the other side of those heartless cheaters. As they said Man are natural polygamous, in animals this like having more than one mate. Is this true? Whoever read this, Clarify and justify it in the comment below (Especially Man) ~
KOREANVENTURE
My favorite in the movie, The Korean-adventure! Yep! It's cool to see the refreshing ambiance of Korea, and seeing Lizquen together while having fun is indeed relaxing!

Gio: Would you have said yes?
Gio: kung nagpropose ako sayo nun dito? (If I was able to propose to you here..)
Gio: Would you have said yes?
After the cute moment with the cam, This is the moment when the two is reminiscing all the things they've done before, all the things that was supposed to be happy but it didn't turned out well, but of course the happy part of the past.
