Earlier this evening, I couldn’t believe how tired I was. I was pooped. Bushed. I could hardly keep my eyes open. After boardwork at 6-10am, I went straight to a hosting gig that went from 2-6pm. Then I was supposed to meet up with friends for dinner at 8pm, so I was hanging on to consciousness by a thread, as I drank some iced latte in Starbucks to augment my bloodstream with some much-needed caffeine. Then, I heard a laugh than sounded peculiarly like Sharon Cuneta…but different. I turned my head and I realized KC Concepcion was sitting a mere 2 tables away from me! I was so starstruck! I wouldn’t say I’m a fan, because I’m not really familiar with her body of work, but I do find her one of the most luminous personalities in showbiz, and seeing her really blows you away. I couldn’t get over it, I was wide awake by this time, so I started tweeting about it:
Tweet #1: omg its kc concepcion! Nagising ako bigla! Waaah gusto ko magpa picture! Hahaha but im shy! Kc, wacky, wacky! about 4 hours ago via Mobile Web
Tweet #2: Naku, she looked my way! Baka akala niya ako si gabby. I dont blame her, i get that gabby/chico confusion thing. Kainis nga eh… about 4 hours ago via Mobile Web
Tweet #3: dear kc, alis na me. You had your chance, but you blew it. I have to go. Bibili pa ko ng downy. Kasi amoy ipis punda namin. about 4 hours ago via Mobile Web
Then, some of the people following both me and KC started retweeting what I tweeted to KC’s account! I was mortified!!! What if she happened to read some of her tweets and realizes that I was the creepy guy in the next table tweeting about her? Then, given that I was slipping in and out of consciousness out of sheer fatigue, my grasp on reality tenuous at best, I started imagining the following scenario (cue fantasy music and sfx):
KC reads her Twitter account and realizes that the handsome young man in the next table was me. She stands up, gingerly approaches me, then says shyly:
KC: “Excuse me, I really thought you were my dad…only a younger, more mestizo version. And more ruggedly handsome…”
Chico: “I know, right?”
KC: “I was wondering, if I may be so brazen, can I add you on Facebook?”
Chico: “I guess, whatever floats your boat.”
KC: “And no offense, but you also kinda look like my rumored paramour…you might know him…Piolo?”
Chico: “Shut up! I get that all the time!”
Then, she’d insist on buying me an iPad and a Canon S95 as tokens of our new friendship.
Of course, my bubble was abruptly popped when the subject of my reverie upped and left with her friend. And she didn’t even say goodbye.
Chico!!! I’m out of words… oh, I have two… “Nakakaloka ka!”
You’re hilarious as always. Looking forward tomorrow (Ay! Mamaya na pala ‘yun!)sa hirit sa’yo ni Del at kung anong ihihirit back mo sa hirit n’ya!
Rest ka muna. Sweet dreams… baka may continuation ang “date” with KC… hahaha! :p
naloka ako sa pundang amoy ipis! i didn’t see it coming.
I’ve been reading your blogs for some time now. You never fail to make me laugh and entertained. I’m imagining the scene as I read your blog bout KC. Funny Funny!!! by the way this is my first time to comment. Yey! and I’m also a silent rusher way way back pa. More power!
tsk ok na sana e, may pundang amoy ipis nman!
but i think may continuation pa to…good luck!
Oo nga nakakabitin! Chico, dapat may continuation to!
At talagang nagde-demand ako, haha!
you should have introduced yourself, mabait po si kc… I should know hehe
Mabait talaga yan si KC, sino ba nagpalaki dyan?
Nag tweet din sa akin yan, nagreply sya, no joke!
I must see if KC gets to read your tweets and malay mo your wordpress too! hahahaha you dont fail to make me laugh maski homesick na ako dito USA..
Funny! Off topic, speaking of iPads, bought myself one 2 weeks ago, 64gig 3g, unfortunately after 10 days I have to return it, poor wifi signal during the first 10 days, on the 11th day, suddenly it won’t even connect to our network anymore! wtf! For some expensive shit, that is unacceptable! Apparently the wifi problem has been existing since it was first released. I would hold off until the next generation then, or maybe just wait for RIM’s Playbook?

Hi Chico,
I’m Ej Sanchez a morning rusher I really need your help. I’ve been browsing your blog to look for your e-mail address but I can’t find it. that’s why I just posted it here as a comment. A child need some help. I think you can help the family. you can ask some organizations through your show at RX…We are not asking for too much, just some help to lessen the burden of the family of aldred…I hope you can help us…In behalf of Aldred’s family I would like to thank you in advance..God bless..here’s the story of aldred from my friend joy (She’s the one who’s really connected with the family):
Aldred John Lorenzon, born on August 4,2010. This little angel has Meningocele.
He is the second baby of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lorenzo. Their first baby was unlucky to survive and live just few days after birth. And hopefully we can do something for their new angel. Andrew is a tricycle driver and Jennifer (the mother) is a plain housewife residing in Bulacan. The family could not afford the operation of their new born, with the cost of 250,000 pesos.(the maintenance, medicines etc are not yet counted on 250k)
The condition of the baby is stable at the moment, but according to the doctor the operation should set as soon as possible because the condition may worsen as the baby get mature.
Meningocele is a condition where in the lower portion of the spinal cord is not fully developed. The spinal cord has a gap and the cyst was formed on the lower back of the baby.
The operation’s purposed is to enclosed the gap and to avoid the infection. After that there will be a lot of observations if the baby will not enlarge his head, if not, a shunt will be put in his skull to avoid the enlargement.
His lower limbs are not functioning well, hopefully, if he undergo the operation he may move his lower body.
Ate Punch (Jennifer’s nick) is a friend and a former co-employee on my first job in Manila, I witness how they are eager to have this baby and to raise the family well. Months after she discover she is pregnant again she never hesitate to resign on her job to take good care of her pregnancy.
The Jay-jay is now two months old baby and like any other baby he is so charming. The family are hoping and praying for the operation to make it possible.
Sir, Ma’am, my former Classmates, my friends and other colleagues, I am personally asking for your help for the fund raising program.
I am miles away from the Philippines now, but i am bothered not to do something about the condition of the baby.
We need your help to make things possible. We can do something to make jay-jay’s life better.
Sincerely,
Joylove Delgado
