Marcelito with Kris - No trace of unhappy childhood(Photo from http://telebisyon.net/balita/Kris-kinilabutan-kay-Marcelito/artikulo/195298/)
I got Ms. Gina Montoya's message on Facebook (fb) requesting me to cover the event of Marcelito Pomoy's grand fans day on October 1st and make a blog post out of it.
How I would love to go and be counted! But unfortunately, I wasn't able to do so for some good (or should I say bad?) reasons.
First, there was another typhoon ("Quiel") and many areas I will have to pass to get to the venue of the celebration were under flood waters.
Second, we've just cleared our area of trash left by "Pedring" and have just cleaned the mess on the ground floor of the house where I live after the thigh-deep flood waters subsided. And it was good my room is on the second floor so my personal belongings were spared from being damaged.
Third, I was ill-prepared. That is, I have yet to purchase a new digital camera to record the event as the one I was using was stolen sometime last year.
Fourth, I really am NOT a professional writer and am afraid I might fall short of Ms. Gina's expectations.
And some other minor reasons.
Ms. Gina who lives in Madrid, Spain and who works in Switzerland or Belgium (as her fb profile indicated) is a new friend of mine on fb and apparently is another die-hard Marcelito Pomoy fan. She (as well as other Marsianz and Marcenatics) was able to access my blog and read its entries because John Pel Fajura (Marsianz founder) linked my blog to Marcelito Pomoy's fanpages.
At times I could not help but smile seeing that Goddy: An Unbreakable Spirit is turning out to be a virtual Marcelito Pomoy's fanpage. Well, I don't mind! After all, I'm an avid fan of Marcelito, too. Just like them.
I didn't mean to disappoint Ms. Gina. But I just couldn't help it. In lieu of her request, however, and since she's a fan of the K-Mars tandem, maybe I'll just have to invent or create a short dialog between Mars and Kris with the same title - A Special Request - and is written in Filipino to sort of appease her feeling of disappointment. I just hope she'll find it "cute" and not "corny".
A SPECIAL REQUEST
(Kris called up Mars on his cell phone.)
Kriiiing!
Mars: Hello po!
Kris: Kumusta, my love? Kumain ka na ba?
Mars: Opo. OK lang po.
Kris: Bakit OK lang? Dapat masayang-masaya ka na dahil yumayaman ka na!
Mars: (In his usual humble self) Hindi naman po.
Kris: Kumusta'ng mga kapatid mo?
Mars: OK lang po sila.
Kris: How about your Mama? Nagkakausap ba kayo?
Mars: OK naman po siya. Nagkakausap naman po kami.
Kris: O, sige. Kinumusta lang kita. Tatawagan na lang uli kita. I love you!
Mars: (Boses-babae, a la Regine) I love you, too!
Kris: (Not too pleased) Mars... special request naman... puede ba, boses-lalaki na lang?
Mars: (Boses-lalaki) I love you, too, Kris!
