Aiko at peace ang buhay
With respect to Ms. Lorna Tolentino, ipinaalam sa kanya na magiging guest co-host ng Startalk last Saturday si Quezon City Councilor Aiko Melendez. It has been reported that Ms. LT won’t return to her Saturday show until August 9 and 30.
As always, Aiko never fails to stun me. Is it thanks to her newfound fitness center, or to her newfound love (Vice Mayor Patrick Meneses of Bulacan, Bulacan)? Despite her freckles visibly seen on TV, she carried a mystic glow that only she knew where it was coming from.
Very obvious that Aiko is at peace with herself and with the world. Gone are the days that she excelled in the “ismid-ismiran school of acting” nu’ng kasagsagan ng exchange of barbs nila ni Martin Jickain.
The same can be said of Martin who looks prettier daw, palibhasa tulad ni Aiko ay diniskarga na rin niya ang kanyang excess baggage off his shoulder in his journey towards a better direction.
Nakakatuwang isipin that theirs was a story that did not end on a happy note, pero nagkakasundo na alang-alang sa kapakanan ng kanilang only child, si Martheena who turns two today.
Sana’y magsilbing inspirasyon sa mga estranged couples ang kaso nina Aiko at Martin who, despite their failed union, have discovered that marriage ends where friendship begins.

This Wednesday, huhusgahan na ng publiko ang tambalang John Lloyd Cruz-Sarah Geronimo as their first screen team up via A Special Love opens.
No doubt, individually ay meron nang napatunayan sina John Lloyd at Sarah, much more ang aktor in his string of top-rating teleserye in ABS-CBN. But putting John and Sarah together in a project that marks Star Cinema’s 15th anniversary is both tension-gripping and exciting.
Tanggapin nga kaya ng balana ang kanilang tandem? Will it be just a one-shot deal? Or do we see the birth of a new loveteam?
It’s for the public to judge.

May kapaniwalaan: it takes one to know one. Meaning, I can instantly tell a kabaro from a virtual alien.
Sumusumpa kasi ang isang reporter-friend that his male subject is more than effeminate. “May bahid po siya,” sey niya. A fellow gymmate, nahuhuli raw kasi ng aking source ang mga nuances ng model-turned-actor that suggest his “gay-ness.” Parang gusto na ring maniwala: in his VTR interview, may “kulot” sa pagtatapos ng kanyang bawat pangungusap, a veritable sign that he’s one with us.
