para sa mga di nakakaalam, ang pers idol ko talaga eh si Mikee Cojuangco. the first time i saw her on tv, i was awed by her. but that was when she was just starting sa "Spotlight on Mikee." remember sa channel 7? 'yung every month may featured actress? well, i didn't miss one episode. and then i was thrilled when the "Mikee!", a weekly television show started. hay grabe, lugmok ako sobra pag may na-miss akong episode. i used to have this notebook where i wrote the title of each episode and who was her leading man dun.
of course, i watched every movie she made. malaking gulo pag di ako sinamahan manood.. hehehe! ngayon ko nga lang nalaman na may website pala siya. [ http://www.stormviz.com/mikee/ ] i'll look it up whenever wala ko ginagawa sa opis. hehehe! i need to freshen up on my idol's bio and all that stuff. natuwa nga ko't may nakita ako sa pics ni Gege (Gretchen Malalad) sa Friendster na kasama niya si Mikee. imagine, my two idols! hehehe! (ma'am ge, pahiram muna ng picture ha!)
