Saturday Stories

A friend and I saw a Japanese girl in the elevator who was
so cute she looked like an anime character. Her features were so delicate she
seemed more like a porcelain doll than a living person. We were impressed.
"She's pretty," I told my
friend when he teased me about her. "But she's too young for me."
All my life, I've always been attracted
to older women, I said to him. Almost all of the relationships I had were with
people older than me.
My "type" are women of
substance and elegance like Senator Loren Legarda and the actress Pilar
Pilapil.
I first had a crush on Loren in the
90s and I always watched "The Inside Story," her awardwinning weekly
documentary. That was when there were a lot of intelligent public affairs
programs on TV including "Assignment" with Teddy Boy Locsin,
"Dong Puno Live" with Dong Puno, and "The World Tonight"
with Loren and Angelo Castro Jr.
By coincidence, I just came across
a classic episode "The Inside Story." It was Loren's exclusive
one-on-one interview with the great Nelson Mandela.
By another coincidence, last week,
I wrote about Mandela and played my recording of his favorite poem,
"Invictus."
Now I'm inspired to make a list of
my poetry readings, and here they are:
