Rick Astley is coming to Manila for a concert on the 1st of August. Yes, Rick of the "Together Forever" and "Never gonna give you up" fame is having another concert here. If memory serves me right, he already performed in Manila a couple of years back.
The peculiar thing is: whenever I tell people that Rick Astley is performing here, they often have the same reply:
"Baka naman si Roderick Paulate lang yan, ha."
Hmmm... his "Never Gonna Give you up" production number in "Tonight with Dick and Carmi" must've had such a strong impact that it's practically seared in the mind of Generation X. And it's true! Even I can still hear Dick's nasal voice in my head.
And speaking of "people who remind you of other people", I had another case of that after watching the replay of Miss Universe 2008.
The eventual winner, Dayana Mendoza of Venezuela, reminds me of Alicia Machado - the last Venezuelan who was named Miss Universe.
Both girls have that carefree and I-don't-care-if-I-win-this-or-not-attitude that's so refreshing to watch. Dayana and Alicia are both bubbly and possess an innate joie-de-vivre which the judges must have picked up on.
Look at them giggle, they're like little girls.
It's amazing how girls from Venezuela always do good in these contests. Just like how amazing it is that people co-relate Roderick Paulate with Rick Astley.
