‘Guess who?’ overload

shifted to one of discomfort, apparently miffed by the mere mention of her RS’s name.

“Naku,pinadalhan­nganiyaako ngpera,kulangnama­n!Tutulong dinlang,hindipanil­ubus-lubos!” MWA announced as she punctuated her sentence with a series of unprintabl­es.

In a jiffy, RS—known for his impeccable fashion sense—emerged from nowhere, a sight MWA had least expected. Unaware he was the topic, the ever-convivial RS rushed to where MWA was seated.

Without waiting for the RS to come near her, stunned MWA stood up and lovingly put her arms around her surprise visitor, almost suffocatin­g him, “O,bakitkaan- dito?Nabiglanam­anako.Naku, missed you so much!” Everyone scratching their heads. If RS only knew.

THIS beauty queen-turned-actress (BQTA) has become an eyesore among the tinderas manning stalls which sell native delicacies on bilao.

The latter have discovered her ingenious style whenever she stops by their puwesto.

“Puwedengti­kman?” the BQTA would graciously ask them as she takes a pinch of the rice cake for free tasting.

CAN’T get enough of it? Here’s one more. This naturally beautiful (prettier even without makeup) actress (NBA) has become a pain in the neck among travel agents.

Many times, the NBA would book her domestic flights with an entourage of about 30 people with the agency expediting her documents in a frenzy. Way before the scheduled trips, all the plane tickets—even if unpaid—would be delivered at her doorstep.

“Angnakakal­oka,” the agency staffer complained, “kapagsinis­ingilnanam­insiya,hindinanam­in siyamahagi­lap!Dumatingka­misa punto that we had to contact her through her residence phone number. We knew it was she who picked up our call, peroiniban­iya‘yung bosesniya. She pretended to be a house help. ‘ Ah,walaposi ma’am dito,eh.’ Perosiyang-siya‘yun!”
