I’m sure by now you’ve ALL watched Kris Aquino’s latest movie, Etiquette for Mistresses. My post is so two-thousand-and-late! 😛

I may be a Kris Aquino fan but I found Cheena “Crab” Alimagno‘s acting the most effortless among ALL. With Claudine Barretto following close behind.

I watched it on the SECOND day & dragged my poor Lovey into watching it with me hehe. As you may know, I’m a Kris Aquino fantard. So after picking up my daughter from school, I drove us straight to Commercenter to catch the next screening. Wala na syang nagawa! 😛

At wala rin talaga akong kaayos-ayos diba. Parang naghilamos lang at nag-mall na, lol! 😛 It was only in the car as I was waiting for my Lovey to come down that I browsed my phone & saw that the movie was already showing! So without my kilay & lipstick, sumugod kami sa cinema. 😛

Of course I don’t condone having mistresses, or the lifestyle of one. Sino ba ang gustong may kahati sa asawa diba. At sino din ba ang may gustong second best lagi -always waiting in the sideline. The simple truth is, Love is love. And you don’t choose the person you fall in love with. It hits you like a speeding truck, mahirap turuan ang puso. I can only hope & pray that my kids -the girls especially, find men worthy of them. Men who would put them first, and would value them for the wonderful people that they are.

Anyway, my daughter is old enough & wise enough to know what is factual & what is strictly for entertainment. I want to believe that we have raised her to have good values and she has seen with her own two eyes how dedicated her dad is to us, his family. And how his love & commitment to us has made them well-rounded, happy, confident children. So I was pretty sure that taking her to watch the movie was in no way letting her know I approve of the act.

When the book by Jullie Yap Daza came out, I was fascinated by it. Aba, may etiquette pa pala ang mga mistresses of the 20th century! I found it hilarious. Well, at least there’s a guideline para naman umayos sila.

What struck me the most in the movie was the dialogue between Pilar Pilapil & Claudine Barreto on keeping a husband happy. That no matter what the wife does, no matter the efforts she puts in the marriage, if the man is hell bent on looking for another woman to warm his bed, then nothing she says or does can make him remain faithful. Yung mga ganyang lalaki ang nakakatakot. Walang kakunte-kuntento. Walang kaligayahan.

Yun lang naman. ;P

Anyway, before I end, I want to wish our dear Ate a happy 21st birthday today. You are now a legal adult my love! As you walk through life, mag-ingat sa mga manloloko at two-timer pls!
