Talking about Odette, didn’t you know that she was my special birthday date last week?
Since Odette lives in the same city as I although she stays near the borderlines of cities San Pedro and Biñan, I readily packed a plastic tray of pancit (noodle) I cooked myself and placed two pieces of cassava cakes on top of it.
After distributing packs of birthday noodles to my neighbors, I quickly rode a tricycle and went straight ahead to Odette’s place.
It was a very exciting personal meeting again after almost three months of not seeing each other although I was calling her on the phone for some important messages like the recent death of our common friend movie reporter Vir Gonzales.
Whenever Khan and I would see each other, we would exchange interesting anecdotes of our showbiz encounters from stars to directors to writers to producers to technical people since way back. Odette is just ahead of me in showbiz by one decade.
Yes, we talked about Jeric Raval, the alleged dad of AJ because when I got to interview him about the appearance and public pronouncements of the Viva Films’ actress, he denied it. “I love Jeric. He is so polite and honest,” said Odette.
We also talked about Aljur but her info that he has a wife apart from Kylie. Khan had heard somewhere else is something to be verified because it has not stemmed or hinted from any newsbreaks on the controversial couple.
Like me, Odette was in flaming red on my birthday. “Parang nag-usap tayo (It seemed we talked about this color scheme),” she chuckled.
Khan has been very keen on metaphysics, vibrations, mental telepathy and spirituality.
