Sa loob ng kuwarto ng mom niyang si Kris Aquino binati si Bimb Aquino sa 18th birthday nito noong April 19. Kahit walang big party, masaya na sigurado si Bimb na kasama niya ang mom niya, ang brother niyang si Joshua Aquino at malalapit na kaibigan.

May mga naluha nang yakapin ni Bimb si Kris at nang i-kiss siya ni Joshua. Kasunod noon, sama-sama silang kumain ng simpleng handa and in fairness, ang daming birthday cakes for Bimb. Lahat yata ng bisita niya, birthday cakes ang dala.

Ang laki na ni Bimb, nag-iba na ang boses. Nang tanungin sa kanyang birthday wish, ang sagot, “I can’t say siyempre, but it comes true.”

Medyo nalungkot ang nakabasa sa post ni RB Chanco, ang make-up artist na very close kay Kris at pati na sa mga anak nito.

“Bimb, you’re 18 today and it’s hard to put into words how proud I am of the person you’ve become.

“You’ve always had a quiet strength and a gentle heart. No matter how much you’ve grown, you’ve stayed kind, grounded, and full of love for the people who matter to you.

“Your mom once said this might be the last birthday she gets to spend with you, and that stayed with me. But I truly believe that as long as you’re by her side, she’ll keep finding the strength to keep going. You’ve given so much of yourself to her, and that love is something rare.

“You’re a gift to your family, and to everyone lucky enough to know you. I’ve seen how real and good your heart is, and I’ll always be grateful to be part of your life. Bimb, eighteen’s just the beginning and whatever life brings, I know you’ve got what it takes.

“Happy 18th birthday, Bimb. I love you. And through every season, in every version of your life, I’ll always be here for you.”

Belated happy birthday, Bimb!

SI Nora Aunor na yata ang aktres na may pinakamaraming bahay na tinirahan. Ang dalas nitong lumipat at ilan sa mga bahay ng Superstar ang napuntahan namin kasama ang ibang press people. 

It was always a joy touring Nora’s house sa dami ng gamit — from paintings, trophies, plaques, display at kung anu-ano pa.

Sa dami ng gamit ni Guy, kailangang laging malaki ang bahay na lilipatan niya para magkasya.

Isa sa mga tinirahan ni Guy ang bahay sa La Vista at kapitbahay niya ang singer na si Louie Heredia.

Kuwento ni Louie kung paano maging kapitbahay ang isang Superstar:

“I have always known her as NORA AUNOR... she was my neighbor in La Vista Subd., QC. She was my neighbour for a couple of years but WOW... I learned at a very young age to live beside a SUPERSTAR! My recollection living beside a SUPERSTAR... bus loads of people, fans entering a private subdivision... loads and loads of people visiting her from all around the country... they would sleep/camp out in our street around her house... our kasambahays would rush to her house right after serving us dinner... there was a ‘samba’ of what I remember. When she would come out of her room, at her veranda... all the fans would be screaming... anytime of the day! The cars, including ours could not pass our road because of the sooo many fans.

“Eddieboy Villamayor actually became my friend... we actually biked around Nora’s house and I met Arnold Gamboa who was a big star too during the early 70’s. Very sad that Eddieboy Villamayor (Nora’s brother) passed away couple of years back. SUDDENLY, Nora was gone from La Vista... I was only 10 yrs old then and did not know what happened. I was sad BUT definitely, my experience as a young kid living beside a SUPERSTAR lived in me... FOREVER!

“After I graduated from College in the US... never did I think that I would enter the world of SHOW BUSINESS! BUT... I did. My first guesting that I thought would be a ‘breeze’ was the top rated SUPERSTAR hosted by no less than the SUPERSTAR herself and the one and only... Kuya Germs! BUT NO... it was the hardest thing to guest in this show... AS IN!!!”

Kuwento ni Louie, sa first guesting niya sa Superstar, he was at the Broadcast City at 2-3 PM kahit 6 PM pa ang show at naroon na si Nora. Lumapit siya at nagpakilala na bago siyang singer at nabanggit na neighbors sila dati.

Nang itanong ni Guy kung saan at sumagot siya ng La Vista, “Paborito kong bahay ‘yun. Then she teared in front of me. I will never forget this experience.... after this, she always wanted to guest me as SUPERSTAR,” kuwento pa ni Louie.

Mensahe niya kay Superstar Nora Aunor, “REST IN PEACE, ATE GUY! MARAMING SALAMAT FOR HELPING US ALL... MARAMING SALAMAT SA NAPAKALAKI MONG PUSO.”
