Are The Stars Out Tonight

Not everybody has a chance to brush elbows with the stars in the entertainment, modeling, and pageant industries so when the invitation starts knocking at my door ... who am I to refuse. Others may frown at it ... but it is irresistible. Well-meaning friends have given us the opportunity on a silver platter (it is like allowing us to get something easily ... without having to work on it) so when I saw the window ... in basketball lingo - an opening ... all I did was to dribble the ball ... do the lay-up and shoot it for the much-needed money shot.

Meeting Heart Evangelista in person ... reminded me that she was the cousin of another ABS CBN star Jodi Santamaria ... and Happy Ongpauco the daughter of the owner of Barrio Fiesta chain of restaurants.

Despite her seemingly moneyed background, Heart obviously didn't forget showbiz's golden rule: never to ignore the fans ... and it looks like she had imbibed it with all her being by being indulgent and complaisant.

It is my first time as a national judge in the world of pageantry.  It is another milestone for me and I have to make good because I always believe that "first impression is lasting. I have to do it right and I have to look good. Rubbing elbows with the rest of the judges gave me an adrenalin rush.  On my left is Adonis Laxamana - a ramp model and actor.

Touring ABS CBN is one goal I have in mind after working abroad. The invitation of klieg lights and the lure of showbiz is just too hard to resist so whenever I have time when I visit the Philippines I drop by and see showbiz friends.  Today I was happy to meet Arnell Ignacio at Mother Ignacia's compound and it was fun throwing one-liners with an equally intelligent host.  There was no dull moment. Well Arnel has also invaded politics when he became the OWWA administrator.
