MANILA, Philippines?Karylle has a full schedule but an empty heart. She?s busy wrapping up her album which includes two songs she composed for her ex-BF Dingdong Dantes when they were still a couple (?Minamahal Kita? and an untitled one).
K is also agog for her Valentine?s show ?That Magic Called Love? at Edsa Shangri-La lobby (Feb. 14, 8:30 p.m., with the Breakaway band). What song will she be singing for herself? ?Leaving Yesterday Behind,? K quips.
Fast forward. Who has a bigger chance to win her heart?Jericho Rosales or Christian Bautista?
?Honestly, I don?t think anyone is courting me,? says K. ?Christian and I just spend a lot of time together because of ?ASAP? and we are both managed by Stages. I?m still letting my heart heal. I?ll be loveless on V-day but I hope to get many gifts (laughs).?
K?s heart is still under renovation. But the next possible occupant can take a hint.
First birthday
Too bad I missed the ?Enchanted Forest? first birthday party of Gabby and Ginbee Concepcion?s cute daughter Samantha at Polo Club last Jan 17. They are such a happy family three! According to Nadia Montenegro, KC Concepcion was at the fete.
?Ate na ate siya kay Sam,? says Nadj, ?pati sa ibang kapatid niya.?
Ginbee tells me that just like Gabs, Sam likes being around people. ?When we have a party, she doesn?t want to be brought to the room even if she?s sleepy na,? the proud mom relates. ?Gusto niya to be where the action is.?
Gabs is excited to see Sam in her ad soon. Just like her dad, Sam?s face will launch a thousand products.
Mountain adventure
Birthday girl Yasmien Kurdi had the time of her life in the Mountain Province.
?I?ll never forget the moment I entered Sumaging cave in Sagada 500 feet below,? Yas recalls. ?At first I wanted to give up because it was scary but my mom urged me on. We traveled two days through rough roads and stony peaks so there was no turning back.?
Is her heart taking an adventure, too, with Dion Ignacio? ?I don?t want to presume he?s courting me just because he?s extra thoughtful,? Yas says, blushing. ?Maybe he?s just sweet by nature.?
When all else fails, sweetness prevails.
Guess who
A TV host and his celeb GF were supposed to have a weekend getaway. En route to the holiday spot, they stopped to buy some fruits. When the TV host stepped out of his van, fans gathered around him. He gave in to their clamor for picture-taking and autograph.
This got his GF so irked. She told him to drop her off at a friend?s place instead. Maybe the TV host should just drop her?period. Being a celebrity herself, she ought to know that in loving a star, fans are part of the equation.
Scoring high
Kudos to Dyan Castillejo, who scooped the competition when she was first to interview Manny Pacquiao after his fight with Oscar de la Hoya and when her team got the first footage and interview of Jinkee Pacquiao with newborn daughter Queen Elizabeth.
Dyan?s heart-to-heart interview with Pacman in ABS-CBN?s ?The Correspondents? docu (?Kamao?) hit double-digits in ratings, a rare feat among late night shows. As a former tennis champ, Dyan thinks her athletic past makes her more credible to her interviewees. With a tennis racket or a microphone, Dyan scores high.
