Mike Villar: Rising Internet Star

Recently, I had lunch with the Fiancee at The Chocolate Kiss over at the University of the Phillippines’ Bahay ng Alumni. Coincidentally, there was a wedding reception being held at the main hall so, the area outside the restaurant was teeming with annoying wedding attendees who are straightening out their ties and making retarded jokes about stocks, equities and shit (You know, because they’re having a grand time pretending to be stock brokers. Because they’re wearing suits. I know right?)

While I was sitting outside one of the restaurant’s alfresco tables, having a grand time myself watching the hoi polloi, wondering why anyone would want to hold a wedding reception in a poorly-ventilated, non-airconditioned venue such as the Bahay ng Alumni in the middle of summer, and waiting for my Chix in a Basket and Caesar’s Salad, I caught a glimpse of a mature gentleman taking a table behind ours, a mature gentleman wearing aviator sunglasses.

Being both insecure and judgmental, I turned to my fiancee and said “What kind of doucher wears aviator sunglasses with a floral button down?” When the waiter took his order, I vaguely recognized his voice–a voice that would sound right ordering Manok but would say it in a way that would let the last syllable linger–and turnd to get a better look at him.

The doucher was Eddie Garcia. Oops.

Anyway, as is customary whenever famous people see each other in restaurants, I said hi. And was ignored.

But that’s probably because I told him how I loved his part as Lot Lot de Leon’s father in Magasawa’y di biro. Now that I think about it, that part was played by Eddie Guttierez.
