My best pal, Binx, proudly goes about with a naughty smirk these days after our brief, albeit positively charged, encounter with "THE" Rex Navarette Sunday night. In fact, I can hear her this very moment (or more like "imagine" her…as she’s in Baguio and I’m in chaotic Makati) boasting about "THE" Rex carrying her luggage up the tricky stairs of Cava at Somerset Olympia….("It’s unfair, I’m six years old, this is 50 pounds….harharhar!)

You see, we were lugging around a suitcase and two big plastic bags of "pasalubongs" when two proudly pinoy-looking guys bumped into us at the lobby of Olympia. Fortunately for us, one of them turned out to be a long lost Ford officemate…my good friend John M.

Rude as I always am, I went about chattering until I realized I had to introduce Binx to John and his, "omigosh….REX NAVARETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is your friend??????

"Ey, my two good friends, umm, that’s Robert and Gil ….well,me too….. are great "fans" of yours…omigosh….badly brown….oh my….maritess and the superfriends…..omigosh…. i can’t believe it…..it is THE Rex Naverette."

So, embarassed as he was with the "starstruck me," he and John offered to carry our load up the stairs. I wanted so badly to go run and call Gil but goodbyes were already dispensed and we needed to go towards the back of the building while they needed to head the opposite way…or so we thought until we found ourselves face to face again by the back entrance of Olympia.

At this point, I went running to the parked Ranger and started shreiking to the top of my voice. "Giiiilllllll, Rex….. Rex…… Rex……. Rex Navarette……with John….you know…..John from Ford????…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This, of course, sent Gil dashing for his life towards us just in time to shake John’s hand and Rex’s for that matter.

The rest, I guess, is history. The only reason I wanted this story a part of my virtual space is because I never realized i can get pretty "shrieky" and not dumbfounded when startstruck….hmmm, unless you count that time Jericho Rosales visited us at the BMW Pavilion during the 1 Series launch… which was rather…..hhmmm, I’d rather not start…. =)
