Look-a-like

Its definitely a ride for a person like me who have many look-a-likes in a given space and time of my mortal life. I would like to present the time line when I first received that "you look just like ..." comment from people through the years.

1984

It was the "Bagets" era and I was a bit on the slim side at the time. Must be the adolescent hormones acting up maintaining my body metabolism that is just about right. Overheard at a school fair in St. Paul QC, "He looks like Aga Muhlach."

1992

I was in Cagayan enjoying my Batil Pattong noodle preparation with a friend when the two young waitress, speaking in Ibanag, started giggling. They mentioned that I looked like Nino Muhlach and my companion whispered that I go along with his story that I am actually a relative of the actor. We got our breakfast for free!

2007

The year that I started teaching. Students were calling me Hiro Nakamura of the now defunct, i think, hit series "Heroes." It must have been my haircut that time with a spiky do that merited that comparison.

2012

So far, two students already mentioned that I look like this character

and this Gangnam Style guy is fast catching up on their vote as another of my look-a-like.

I think its reality knocking telling me to do something to at least become a look-a-like of this 2012 Hot Property Actor.

Quoting Aga

While Im still at it, that is, in Philippine showbusiness mode, I came across an article while reading those free tabloids in the train about the former matinee idol and award winning actor Aga Muhlach.

AGA Muhlach explains why he said no to the noontime show slot once held by Willie Revillame. “It has been offered to me. I don’t think I can handle that. I can wake up early, but to do it every day would be too draining. It’s like your entire life would revolve around that show. I wouldn’t want to sacrifice my time for my wife and kids.

Very admirable trait from a famous actor.
