For no apparent reason, I am reminded of this time the best friend and I took on Pampanga on our own. Armed with bikinis, two days’ worth of clothes, Valium, and each other’s company (all you need in life, but throw in some cigarettes and rum in there) we made our way to a provincial bus station, sat in the front of an ordinary bus (so we could smoke during the two-hour ride) and started badgering the driver to leave. But anyway, not the point.
So this security guard comes up, stands on the steps in front of us, and starts trying to get me admit that I was Yasmien Kurdi from Starstruck. Or just anyone from Starstruck/a celebrity. And then the guard does the laughable: he pulls out a wallet-sized photo of him, hands it to me, and asks for my autograph.
Several levels of weird and crazy right there. Tell me this doesn’t only happen in the Philippines.
I’m feeling extremely irritable and territorial today and I’m trying my bestest to suck it up and remain pleasant. So I’m calling forth happy thoughts, such as how Mr Supervisor likened me to Avril Lavigne: like a strawberry milkshake with a shot of tequila. Amusing.
This is a couple of weeks late (and for good reason): …haha. Mr Supervisor reads my blog. Now, the face-palm awkward are-those-crickets-I-hear? moment only lasted, like, a day. It’s the omg-my-world-is-getting-smaller feeling that took longer to shake off. But what’s really a bother is the whole oh-noes-I-can’t-blog-about-how-hot-he-is-today-in-that-red-sweater-of-his-and-other-stories thing. See, I can’t even write properly anymore.
That said, I guess I should go shut up now about the whole thing.
Hi, my name's Helga Weber and welcome to my personal site. I'm 23. My first socio-political scandal will happen at the age of 35 and will include men, sushi, an African country, and lots of money. My lover is the greatest. 
You should have signed the photo with your real name :-)
But but but…I don’t give my real name to strangers (unless they’re on the internets)! I’m always Gaby or Alfred or sometimes, Ita, when my best friend isn’t being Ita.
Yasmien Kurdi? Eh?
I’m thinking of the beach too. If the rain has stopped up north, it would be a good weekend for surfing. I can’t go though because I’m fixing up the house.
I’m alsofeeling all random today.
Irritable huh? Don’t worry too much about being pleasant. Methinks a pouty Helgrrr would be cute, a tad scary perhaps, but definitely still cute.
Okay, I stop not making sense now. Good morning!
but but…there IS a resemblance! =p
OH NO YOU DIDNT!!!
Stupet security guard. You’re not Yasmien Kurdi. LOL
…
Are you?
Yasmien Kurdi is cute :) And young! So.. doesn anything exciting ever happen between you and the Mr. Supervisor?
Yasmien Kurdi is cute until you see her on TV and it’s like…”uh, WTF is that?”
I emailed you! ;)
Nobody has asked me for my autograph, I would have loved that. You should just have played along. hehe
I remember a TMB celebraganza when someone asked, “you are Fritz, right? Can I have your autograph later?” Seriously?! Yes, it did happen. And not because the fella was drunk. Or was he? Anyway, we all ended up signing his notebook. That will cost a fortune after I die!
I’m not surprised. TMB folks are so showbiz!!!
(Who asked for your autograph? And he had a notebook?!)
That was during the second manbloganza in ortigas. I think it was that ianuarius kid from the forum who harassed us into signing his notebook.
I think I wrote “Be cool. Stay in school.”
I suck as a celebrity. :(
Lol, the weirdest things happen in the Philippines. So did eventually sign that wallet-sized photo of his?
Well obviously you look like a star anyway. Ching!
I totally would have signed that with her name, haha, but that could probably get you in trouble. That doesn’t happen around here, but I’m sure that happens out in California or NYC. Eep, that’d be weird if my supervisor read my blog. Actually, I’d probably delete it; I couldn’t face the awkward moments.
Oh, that’s why you look familiar… Kidding! Haha!
I’m always harrased too ever since koreanovelas started popping out of nowhere. Especially when uhh.. what’s her name again.. Sandara (there!) and Kim Chiu (or is it Chui? Whatev.) reached stardom.
I should have told pesky guards: “Excuse me, guard, do I look like some crappy Pinoy teen star to you? This face is for Hollywood baybeh!” Haha!
I will miss the stories and comments about Mr Supervisor.
Sigh… Unfortunately that does only happen in the Philippines!
Hey, why did you go to Pampanga? Where did you go? Forgive the curiosity, it’s just that I’m from Pampanga. Hehe!
Yasmien Kurdi SUCKS! that girl seems to overact at small things… Does she even have A.d.d in her? LOLZ
You have this unique beauty to you, i like it a lot. Yeah, im a dirty creep ha. Anyway, you and mancandy look quite cute together.
