Experts say that falling in love can make us feel like an entirely different person, as a natural reaction to the hormones we’re experiencing. In this video, Kapamilya stars reveal what they’re like when hit by Cupid’s arrow.

Bobot Mortiz and Tirso Cruz III imparted that they feel young when in love – you know, that ‘glow.’ Scientifically, it’s related to adrenaline release when we see our special someone. Tirso added that he’s more inspired to make his significant other feel like a queen, doing things that can melt a woman’s heart. He also reminded youngsters to make sure that their sweet gestures are sincere.

Yup, that ‘glow’ is very real, and Marco Gumabao can attest to that, “Iba ‘yung glow, iba ‘yung happiness ‘pag in love ka sa isang tao. If close na close tayo, mapapansin mo kapag in love ako.”

Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin noticed that they are inspired and happy when attracted to someone, with Seth implying that love can make a person blind and oblivious to his/her reality, thus, “Kapag dumating ang panahon na wala ka na rin naririnig sa paligid mo dahil in love ka, medyo try to look in the mirror and see yourself.”

If you lack motivation for work, maybe finding love is the solution. The Iron Heart star Anthony Jennings believes that he feels energized at the sight of his significant other as if he doesn’t feel tired no matter how busy his day went. He is more ‘makulit’ and just plain happy.

Real-life couple Loisa Andalio and Ronnie Alonte shared a similar answer, “Mas relaxed, mas nagagwa mo ‘yung mga kailangan mong gawin… Parang sa school lang ‘yan ‘di ba? Kahit ayaw mong pumasok pero dahil nandu’n ‘yung crush mo papasok ka.”

Though it has been quite some time since her last relationship, Gretchen Fullido remembers it was full of ‘kilig’ and inspiration. However, she pressed that romantic love isn’t all magic. It requires constant effort, “Siyempre masarap ‘yung feeling ng kilig. But as we all know, love is hard work. Hindi naman ‘yan parang pababayaan mo lang. Hindi ka pwedeng complacent. Every day is also a challenge to make it work.”

But you can’t also give and love too much, or else, you’ll be at risk of losing your sense of self. Dirty Linen star Jennica Garcia confessed she goes “all out” when in love, meaning she gives too much in terms of time, energy, and even material gifts – “Doon tayo medyo natatalo,” she laughed.

The same goes for Robi Domingo, who detailed in jest, “Natatakot ako ‘pag in-love ako, eh. Nilalayo ko ‘yung credit card ko. Dahil lahat bibilhin ko para sa kanya at lahat gagawin ko para sa kanya.”

KD Estrada tends to be giddy, while Alexa Ilacad becomes more selfless.

New-gen Darna Jane de Leon picked the best words to describe her lovestruck self: “kinikilig, hindi makatulog, blooming, masaya lagi, at masarap kumain.”

When she was younger, Roselle Nava was a “bratty girlfriend” in that she wanted to be in control all the time. When she got married, she learned to be more selfless with a deeper understanding of love, which is “not about getting what you want, but being able to make the person you love happy.”

Romance is a strong force, so much so Jona struggles to concentrate, “Nakakalimutan ko lahat.”

Hearts flutter, cheeks glow, palms become sweaty, and there are mixed feelings of thrill and nervousness. But, amid all these exciting emotions, don’t forget to also take care of yourself, which Jed Madela does when he is in love, “Ako, because I’m in love, I have to love myself more in order for me to give more love to whoever that special person is.”

Spread the love this Valentine’s Day, and every day, Kapamilya!
