Boots Anson Roa

1:36 a.m in my laptop...my body clock still ticking..
tsk.tsk.tsk.
still early. Perhaps too early.
My attention was turned here in my blog, i realized I have been making stuffs for people I admire, love, respect and care for. but never yet, for the unrequited love of my life, the person i will forever admire.
I have a tiny secret..
I am very much awed and amazed by the beauty of Ms. Boots Anson Roa.
There! I said it. oh yes I just did.
Everything about this woman is admirable.
Her nose line, her perfect eyes, luscious eye lashes, marvelous lips, free flowing wavy hair, graceful strides, elegant manner, kind heart, undefinable talent, unbelievable level of professionalism.
So, you might ask, when did I start to fall in love with this great woman.
2001, the teleserye "Sa dulo ng walang hanggan" aired.
There I first saw the homely/motherly aura that this woman exudes, I thought then, that It is her effective portrayal of her character that won me over. It has to be that. Nothing more.
So I said, okay. "I kinda like her"
The "kinda" that I thought would be just a passing admiration stuck with me with deep emotional urging to learn things about this lovely lady.
I asked my mom and aunts, her name didn't just ring a bell, it did rang millions of bells.
Floods of movie tittles were rattled endlessly some I understood as "Wanted Perfect Mother" "Santiago" "Tatay na si Erap" and the rest was muffled by the excitement of my informants.
After the rush of excitement, there followed the awkward question..
"Why?"
I didn't know how to answer then... I was 12 for goodness sake!!
But I very well know the answer now.
Not just because I consider myself as an old soul and felt the immediate connection towards a lady thrice my age. But, Its more like, right there and then, I knew that she is a woman of talent, and a woman who deserves and give no less than respect.
