KAPALMUX : Must Be The Fookin' Eyebrows!!!

Text message from my friend Joanne,

just a few minutes ago:



"i got 2 watch d drama series s ch. 2...

kamukha m pla c loyd samartino"



there might be some truth here, actually.





My late great Dad's last GF

before he married my beloved Mom,



was none other than Lloyd Samartino's own mother,

Carmen Patena!!!



'langhiya, baka nga nakasingit si Erpats. Hahahahaha!!!













This got me thinking about other showbiz men that I've been told,

I sort of look like, from the '80s to the present:




William Martinez:

once, during the BAGETS era,

my Lola Sally actually called up the house one summer afternoon

to ask my mom what the hell I was doing on TV;



apparently, my Lola saw William getting down to "Growing Up",

and totally thought that her grandson had entered showbiz.

Louie Heredia:

I actually shared a tent with him in Mt. Makiling during his pre-singer days,

back when we were both Boy Scouts at the Ateneo High School.

He weighed around 300 lbs. then, at 16 years old,

before he slimmed down and sang "Can't Find No Reason".

Mr. Big:

I was stoked when an ex-GF stared deep into my eyes,

all Carrie Bradshaw like,

and told me that I was her "Mr. Big".

I'm really not sure what she meant,

if it was a compliment on my deep, dark eyebrows,

or if she was referring to the way our relationship

kept falling into seemingly hopeless pits and valleys,

just like that of the starcrossed couple from Sex and the City.

Well,
enough nonsense for now,
I'm meeting a lovely date at 11pm
to welcome her August 1 birthday,

and I still have to put on my William Martinez neon-pastel layered outfit,
look for my Louie Heredia minus-one tape,
and write down witty lines to impress her with, a la Mr. Big!!!
