See ... Melanie Marquez ... makes fractured English becomes fashionable.  And the way she said her piece makes you ask yourself: "Is she for real?"  She had convinced you... her gaffes and inaccuracies are just a front ... a facade ... for how can you suspect ... somebody winning an international crown can equal ... or even surpass President Erap's record in fragmented and incoherent soliloquy.

When she accompanied her daughter in Exspecially For You segment of It's Showtime, Melanie capitalized on her classic lines ... to sustain the zany and the comic free-flow of ideas. The segment showed the mother and daughter team's individual sides - Michelle displaying one more time that she is a good conversationalist and can speak her mind like a pro. One more time she was her loquacious self and her temerity to outtalk even the hosts ... including the babbling and the blabbering Vice Ganda ... and Melanie emphasizing her past blunders repeatedly to remind everybody on what her heyday was all about.

Indeed, Melanie has immortalized these archetypal and quintessential lines ... and one wonders the longevity of her usage of these lines.  I really wondered whether there are expiration dates on this ... or to put it bluntly ... is there a last day ... any retailer blogger such as myself can allow these consumable classic lines to maintain its dewy freshness, flavor or texture?

She is an icon alright ... and for as long as she is around ... and continues messing around with the English language ... pageant fans and bloggers will continue to namedrop these instances ... till kingdom come.
