One Good Afternoon

I have been residing in our condo unit since I got married last December 2003. Throughout those years, I have had several encounters with various celebrities who are tenants of the building as well. But none of them stroked my fancy enough for me to rave about it. Until last Saturday.

I am about to move out by next month and finally, I got my much-awaited “starstruck moment”!!!

This got to be one good afternoon…

His music had inspired me since university days. Who would have thought I would be having a normal neighbor-to-neighbor conversation with him on a normal Saturday afternoon, talking about life crossroads, business ventures, local politics and yes, even SWOT analysis! Well, actually it was Riki who did MOST of the chitchatting since I was just too starstrucked to say anything sensible. He was at my house, for crying out loud!

I acted imbecillesque, yeah I know…

For someone whose singing voice is so powerful, he converse in an amazingly lazy, soft-spoken way. But true to the brilliance he exhibits through the music he creates, the man is sharp-witted in other facets of life evidently. A golden boy indeed.

Till today, starstrucked pa rin ako. Afterall, he is still just a doorbell away (he said so himself!). Hay.
