Anne Curtis at the Mall of Asia

It was very early in the morning at 8 am when we arrived at the Mall of Asia. I killed some time reading the bible again in McDonalds, waiting until the store actually opens ... at least, for the main market to allow us shoppers to stroll inside.

There were hardly any people about and I enjoyed my time there, shopping for a new ring, a bracelet, a necklace and a pair of earrings. I was debating whether or not I should watch a movie, walking towards the movie theater when I stopped infront of a crowd of kids. Following their stare, I found the object of their interest - an icon of a Spanish-Filipino beauty! It was that girl, Anne Curtis, posing in front of a camera man just outside the Director's Cut store.

Kids on their excursion gathered around like an automated semi-circle and gawked at Anne, repeatedly whispering, "Ay, ang ganda niya ano?"

She was really white, whiter than I ever will be as I am of a darker skin tone and she is strikingly pretty. I've seen beautiful women with strong confidence than she does though, she looked nervous, obviously not used to a crowd of children, full of admiration reflected from their eyes.

Man, I thought, if I keep staring at her like that, I would definately turn gay. I fished out my cellphone and took a picture of the young goddess and brisked myself away, thinking it's rude to stare. She is after all, a human being.
