[OPINION] The LOVE-ly Puzzle That Is SLAVINE {1}
Soon after the launch of PBB Unlimited in late October of last year, I wrote an article stating my early favorites (see PBB Unlimited (Season 4): A Closer Look). Since then, only three of them remain on the top of my list: Seiichi, Slater and Divine. The latter two, although I must admit, struck me as being strong personalities individually… little did I know that as time would pass, they’d soon become a partnership that’s undeniably thought-provoking.
Slater and Divine, both hailing from respectable and well-to-do families in Cebu, have found a special friendship inside the Pinoy Big Brother House—a seemingly unlikely bond, considering Divine’s sexual preference as being openly gay. For some, their “relationship” may seem platonic, but for many who are keen to obvious hints of a deeper connection, SlaVine (as their tandem is more commonly known) is definitely more than that. The loving gazes into each other’s eyes… the tender caresses… the knowing smiles… they’re almost too surreal.
Slater being the gentleman that he is, is only too quick to hold back because of his obvious respect for Divine. Content with what Divine is willing to give… for now. Divine, too, is cautious… sometimes overly so. But no matter how the two try to hold back, the more it becomes obvious that they feel something for each other—something that is real. In more instances than one, their actions spoke louder than words could ever express. The 24/7 cameras do not lie. They capture the most candid moments that implicitly show the deep and electrifying connection that is SlaVine.
Some may disapprove of this unlikely pair, but excuse me for saying this: When did LOVE ever have any rules? Just like the saying goes: “LOVE knows no time, space, or gender.” What is important is how real the feelings are… and only Slater and Divine know how that feels like… we can only watch from a distance.
Here are some fan-made videos of the duo… watch them and tell me that you don’t really see that spark. But if you do, then you will begin to understand why hopeless romantics like myself still believe that LOVE knows no boundaries… and are still hopeful that one day, we’ll be able to define the LOVE-ly puzzle that is SlaVine.
