Melanisms
This landed in my inbox. I think could all use a good chuckle. :D
----------------------------------------------------
When you're tired and need a break, take consolation from Sister Melanie
GUESS WHAT?!
Melanie Marquez is seriously thinking of writing her own book.
Here and now, Jonathan Chua (who's a STAR contributor) has compiled some
Melanisms for inclusion in that much-awaited book, to wit:
. I won't stoop down to my level.
. Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep?
. 'Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan.
. Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo... Pag di ka naman manutok ng
baril.
. We are lovers, not fighters.
. My brother is not a girl; he's a gentleman.
. That's why I'm a success, it's because I don't middle in other
people's lives.
. Don't judge my brother; he's not a book.
. Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same.
. I don't eat meat. I'm not a carnival.
. Eto na po ang pinakamaligayang pasko at manigong taon sa inyong lahat.
(During her acceptance speech at a Metro Filmfest awards night where
her bioflick, directed by her late father Temyong Marquez, won an
award.) . Sumasakit ang migraine ko.
. Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay!
. Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point. (When asked on S-Files
if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right.).
. At a talk show after her break-up with Derek Dee, Melanie was asked if
she had some words for Derek's mother (whom she partly blamed for the
separation). "Oo nga," said Melanie, "pero i-English-in ko para
maintindihan niya." She looked into the camera and, with the
peremptoriness of royalty, said, "And to you, Mrs. Dee, I have two words
for you. Ang labo mo!"
A few more:
* When asked for a message to her daughter who was allegedly abused by
their houseboy: "Don't worry little angel, big angel is here."
* On what they should do to the houseboy who molested her kid: "He
should be put behind bar."
* "You can fool me once, you can even fool me twice, you can even fool
me thrice. But you can never fool me four"
* While waiting backstage during a noontime show, after watching Nikki
Valdez do her dance number. "Nikki, you're so galing. You should go to
the States. You will sell hotcakes"
