Kwentong Jollibee Valentine Series 2020: Space

True love is not looking for someone better.

It is seeing the best in The One.

True love conquers all.

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.

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.

Are The Stars Out Tonight? Pops Fernandez and Martin Nievera

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.

I was going for a two-month vacation in the Philippines and I always make it a habit to use our homegrown sky carriers the Philippine Airlines. It was an auspicious evening ... it started very slow and lo and behold Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez were with us on this flight in the first-class cabin. Little did I know, that something more beautiful is about to unfold.  When we reached Guam for refueling everybody had to step down and vacate the plane. I went to a coffee shop not realizing Pops and Martin were following. I did invite them in my table ... and Martin was just too gracious to oblige. Martin was down to earth while Pops was quiet the whole time. Can you imagine having a grand time with your idols over a cup of coffee? Martin was his usual bubbling self ... and the night became more meaningful when Martin invited me to his concert in Ultra. He was that makulit childish self ... so how could I say No?
