I don't get to spend a lot of quality time with my mom. The few moments we are together is those rare times I have to drive her somewhere. Our usual conversations revolve around work/planning, discussing my dad's decreasing comunications skills, he's digressed to caveman like pointing, grunting and incoherent mumbling; or complaining about one of my brothers. Yesterday our convo took a strange turn...
I can't even remember what we were talking about. We might have been talking about Philippine Hollywood because we had just seen off Nellie Vangt and the Regine/Pops group as they left for Edmonton. But the conversation somehow turned to lesbians, my Aunt and her 'best friend'; when my mom said It. "Greedy women date lesbians because if they dated a man they would have to put-out." ...I have no response to that. She went on to qualify her statement with, "Do you see how your Tita is treated? If she was a man she would have left a long time ago." I think I was kinda in shock because I have no idea what my mom was talking about from that point after. Just the thought of my mom saying girls have to put out to keep a man. I don't even know if that was her point because I was in a yucky place mentaly.
It's funny how grown men and women can be so star struck. It's different when it's Cristina or some chick at the club visibly drooling whilst trying to ask Diether to dance(have sex with) her. But when I see my Tito Rey (Philippine News today) Nellie (Miss millionaire's) or the parents of my business partner in Edmonton with stars in their eyes...priceless. These pillars of our community become gleeful teenagers. It's like my nephew when I bring him to Toy's R Us. It reminds me of Mel and her Jason Molmo moment.
BTW, I updated my list. Jessica Alba, Keira Knightly, Scarlett Johanson, Natalie Portman and Lacey Chabert. Alyssa the veteran of 'The List' has been knocked off by the lovely Scarlett. Sorrey babe, thanks for the memmories.
BTW, Cristina if you're reading this I did call you 'Cristine' and I don't know why. I think I was trying to think of 'Regine's' name at that moment and I knew you'd know it, I was about to call you 'Crispy' but I realized there was a lot of new ppl around us that would think that weird so out slipped...
Rhoel.
