Close Encounter of the Showbiz Kind

I peeked into their on-going photo shoot for their new show. Mark, the executive producer, decided to introduce me: “Aaron, this is Kuya Joel, he’s the promo specialist, este, promo supervisor for comedy.”

Fuck. Why do production people always refer to us as “kuya” as if we’re related?

Aaron stood up from his seat and offered his hand. I took it and shook it.

Oooooh gosh! I’m shaking Aaron’s hand! I’m shaking Aaron’s hand! Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Then he spoke: “Hi, po.”

“Po”? Po?! Shet. Puwede ba ‘wag mo ako galangin?!

Hay naku. The kids of today…!

He's only 15 years old.
