Did you know that Marvin replied through my pager? It took only about two minutes. Siguro nasa bahay siya nung nag-page ako (Good Friday-April 10). Brief encounter lang talaga 'yun. I just tried out the pager no. posted for curiosity's sake, without expecting a respond coz hindi niya ako kilala. Gusto ko lang malaman niya a fan like me existed. Nagulat nga ako after TWO minutes, nag-page siya sa akin.
Na-verify ko, kanya talaga yung pager coz he knew about Talent Center and all those stuff. Actually, naka-lock pa sa pager ko yung message niya and his exact response was:
"HI. GOOD AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR YOUR MESSAGE.
PLEASE SAY THANKS ALSO TO THOSE MANAGING MY WEBSITE.
YES, SURE. MAYBE WE COULD MEET AT TALENT CENTER. I'M NOT JUST SURE WHEN.
AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HAVE A BLESSED HOLY WEEK AND HAPPY EASTER."
Grabe! Talagang down-to-earth si Idol Marvin. In spite of his present stature, he never misses out to thank his fans and supporters. I also mentioned about you guys (Ethel, Joy, Gretz, and you) who are managing MAJ sites in the net. He was so thankful.
I mentioned my job at ABS-CBN this summer. He said we could meet during the taping of Onli in da Pilipins (Wednesday). Isn't that cool? I think I will finally have the chance to meet him, and hopefully Jolina, too! Anyway, I'll try to introduce myself personally when I start my work at ABS-CBN on April 22.
