"The Singer.The Actress and Me"


"The SINGER"

Annie Gonzales-Riveral born May 10, 1935 so, that puts her around 76 y.o today.
To the people of the 50's and 60's her name would no doubt ring a bell because she is one of the cast of "ROWENA" w/ Amalia Fuentes, Romeo Vasquez, Dante Rivero and Boots Anson Roa.
And a singer in "Sunday Sweet Sunday" also w/ Boots AnsonRoa.
She Tweets, is using FB, she is so COOL.
I never really know anything much about her, the only thing I know right now, is the obvious.
FACTS:
1.She is a singer
(i wont say "was" because I believe that singing is one of the talents that don't deteriorate.)
2.She is a good mother and a loving grandmother
(the way I see it, she is a woman of character and manners and no doubt she passed it to her 6 children and her grandchildren as well.)
3. A very beautiful woman
(heck! a photograph speaks a thousand word, need i say more?)
4. A friend who never forgets
(if you have read my past blog, you would know what i mean.)
5. She wants me to call her mommy
(ain't that great?)


"The Actress"

Born Maria Elisa Cristobal Anson, widely known as Boots Anson-Roa after married to Pete Roa.
January 30, 1945 so if am not mistaken, she is 66 y.o at present.
One of the gems of national TV, an artist who knows too well her craft.
A woman who touches heart and change lives by the principles she lives by.
She may be a public figure and a very famous one at that but her private life is shied away as much possible from the prying eye of the public and she values it as that.
So here, I'll just state the obvious:
1.A Great Actress
(you are one sick dude if you say otherwise plus, she made a hundred or more films already.)
2. Dante Rivero is counted as her number 1 Screen Partner
(they had 14 movies together)
3.Family outweighs personal dream
(she ran for senator but backed out after her husband got sick)
4. A very beautiful woman
(just say otherwise and that means you just signed your death certificate)
5. She value her friendship w/ mommy A
(she just gave her email address to mommy A and is open for a reunion in the near future)


"and Me"


What is there to know about me?
I am just a middle man here, the fortunate earthling blessed with a ones in a lifetime chance and opportunity to help two estranged friends to reunite and relive their past memories together.
The thought that at least either one of this two people will remember that sometime in their lives along the road they met me and that in my own little way I've helped them is an enough reward for the little thing that i did for them.
The chance to help others comes everyday the choice of which person to help fully depends on us.
so here's one fact about me.
1. I sure am glad that I helped someone.

"How Mommy Annie's and My Path Crossed"







I am a huge fan of "the" Boots Anson-Roa, therefore it tells you that any chance that she'll be appearing in the television be it an interview, a commercial, movie or teleSerye i am sure to watch it with my jaw and eyes wide in awe. The latest Teleserye of Ms.Boots is Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin and as usual I instantly fell in love with her character which leads me to create an account in twitter using tita boots character "remedios" and joined the extended family of MLKI in twitter composed of posers of the rest of the characters and the real people behind the characters. I was doing well playing my superficial role, people have been telling me that my tweets are sarcastically funny, witty and knowledgeable. I received a tweet from a certain @AnnieGonzales2 this :
hopefu;;y you will still remember me form the cast of ROWENA and sunday sweet sunday..:)
I thought that she is also a character from a once upon a time tv series so replied:
uyy. oo naman! Annie diba??
I really thought that she is just a playing a superficial role so I pretended that I know her and I very well remember her, but things got serious when she tweeted this:
I hope to see you soon..kaya lng I'm old already..Boots I pray that you will always be bless with the best things in Life by God.
I got "taranta" because I became scared that I might have offended and worse, hurt someone who only wants nothing but to be reunited to her friend. my immediate reply was:
oh my gosh, i am sorry for this misunderstanding po. i am just a humble fan of ms.Boots din po.
When Mommy Annie started to make me feel that there is nothing to be worried about and that she understand, I told myself that I just found myself a new friend that's worth keeping forever so I vow to myself that I will help mommy Annie to be reunited with Ms.Boots.
So, i started tweeting Ms. Lorna Tolentino and told her the story of Mommy Annie and God Bless her, she swore to tell "tita boots" about it.
When Ms. LT and I exchanged Direct Messages about further details, I feel really blessed that i am exchanging messages with one of the country's best actress and mind you, its LT at that!
but more than anything else, I feel so good for being able to help mommy A, a complete stranger to whom i grew personal connection with, be reunited with her friend.
When ms.Boots gave her email address for mommy A and I as the messenger relay the message to mommy A, i thought it would signal the end of that short lived friendship.
But as what mommy A continue to remind me that she hopes to be friends with me and to continue our good friendship. We are just beginning this new chapter of our life.


-this blog is specially dedicated to mommy A.

<3 and to you my readers, i'll keep you posted when mommy A and Ms. Boots would finally meet again, with some pictures i hope.
