HOW RICKY DAVAO FOUND HIS 'SILVER LINING' IN LOVE
The Philippine Star|November 14, 2024
Now that Derek Ramsay has a newborn daughter with his wife, Ellen Adarna, I suddenly remember what he told me a few years ago.

HOW RICKY DAVAO FOUND HIS 'SILVER LINING' IN LOVE

I asked him if he prefers to have a baby boy or girl. His reply was: "Ellen wants a girl, but I want a boy even if I already have a son. I am wary of having a daughter because when she becomes a teen and starts posting her pictures in swimsuit on social media, baka marami akong ma-away na guys (laughs)."

"I will be extra protective of my baby girl. With a son, I can let him explore, and I will just guide him."

So, since Derek is already a girl dad, the future suitors of his daughter better brace themselves.

You mess with her, you mess with him.

My heart goes out to Mareng Ai-Ai delas Alas after her unceremonious break-up with Gerald Sibayan. Their May-December affair defied all odds. On a lighter note, since both of us go for younger men, we used to tease each other, "Mare, alam mo na, osmosis is good for our complexion kaya dapat tuloy ang agos ng fountain of youth."

Hopefully, when Ai-Ai falls in love again, the fountain will no longer run dry.

In the spirit of Yuletide fun, Sue Ramirez and Dominic Roque should do their version of the famous Christmas carol and call it "I SUE DOMmy Kissing you Upclose."

Since I'm a boomer who has millennial kids, I could totally relate to the musical, "Silver Lining Redux (SLR)".
