Mario O'Hara was sitting.
went up to him.

Me: Sir, pwede po mag-papicture?
Mario: Oo, naman

Nag squat ako. Sabi niya

Mario: Hindi, tatayo ako.
Me: (nagulat...speechless)
Me: Sir, dahil tumayo kayo, nag-ka-Diyos ang Tatlong Taon.
Mario: (laughter) ano sabi mo? (laughter)
Me: Sir, salamat po.
Mario: Anytime.

Fanboy pa rin. Bow.

Close Encounters of the American Idol Kind

Goodness, i have the timing of the devil.

Decided to have late lunch, because, i was to get my reserved Cinemalaya tickets.

When i got to greenbelt 3, throngs of people were outside Powerbooks. the last time i checked, the Philippines is not yet a reading country, so i know for sure they are not there for the books. Turns out, i was wrong. They were there for books, no, for A book. The very early autobiographical book of David Archuleta.



Here is the the catch, David Archuleta was there to sign them books.

not a fan, and would have even voted for the the other David given the chance.



But lo and behold, as i was walking towards the Cinemas, came from the second floor of Powerbooks, David Archuleta, my view not even blocked by his bodyguards or entourage. a fate many of his fans did not share, as they were blocked by everyone and everything.

Cinemalaya 2011: Dahil isa akong FANBOY. hindi ko ito itatago o ikakahiya. hahaha

Opening Night: andun si Ate Vi, marami nagpapapicture, nagpapa-autograph. i may be a Vilmanian, but not as much as my mother. Wala ako camera, (so hindi ako "umaalata-sosyodad" hahahaha) feeling ko naman hindi ma-aapreciate ng nanay ko ang isang papel na may pangalan ni ate vi. kahit pa ngipin ni ate vi ang nagsulat nun. nung paalis na si ate vi, tinawagan ko nanay ko, sabi ko "ma, may ipapakausap ako sa iyo" bigalang talikod, harap kay Ate Vi at sinabi kong "ma'am, could you talk to my mom, and tell her you're VILMA SANTOS! putangina, pumayag, sabi pa sa akin, what's her name? sabi ko Nini Quejano, sabi niya "tita nini, si Vilma Santos po ito, opo si Ate Vi" Bingi si mama, so hindi niya naririnig, nung narinig na niya, hindi siya naniniwala, so si Ate Vi, tawa lang ng tawa. ako? talon lang ako ng talon! as in. yung mga tao nakaikot sa amin, pinagtatawanan ako. (wala ako pakialam sa inyong lahat...hahaha) humarap sa akin si Ate Vi, sabi niya, hindi siya naniniwala! fan boy ako. bow.

Last Night: Gala ng Amok. (great film) dumating ang "illonggo mafia" led by it's Godfather Peque Gallaga. wait, what i meant was PEQUE FREAKING GALLAGA!!! super star-strucked ako! after the flm, marami pa rin nagpapapicture, wala pa rin ako camera. sabi ko, mahawakan ko lang, i was to grab his shirt, kaso everyone, and i mean EVERYONE was talking with him. lahat, artista, producers, lahat! so nahirapan ako hawakan siya, biglang may moment, malapit siya sa akin. sabi ko, "sir, can i just touch you?" nagulat si Direk! he shook my hand. and rubbed it as well, and said "feels good" when yes, i shook his hand! when he left, he tapped me on my shoulder. THRICE! when he went to Dencios after, he was passing by, i placed my hand on the glass, he saw it and drummed his fingers (which was covered in green nail polish, by the way) on the glass. so yes, my hand shook the hand that made SCORPIO NIGHTS! ako na! ako na ang fanboy! bow.
