now you're wondering why i brought up g-mik. this crazy reminiscing began last week.. about the same day, thursday, when i happened to bump at a familiar face.. miko samson.
ding! all of a sudden, memories came flashing back.. as if i was the teeny bop i was before, i giggle. he used to be my crush. of course aside from my ultimate crush, john prats, miko was the reason why i watched g-mik.
miko samson, as to my surprise, still looks the same. as i was sipping my mocha frappe, i tried to remember how he looked before. as if he never aged, OME! he's still the same miko samson i remembered. i wonder when g-mik would have a reunion.
g-mik, if you were asking, was a tv show for teens every saturday. its cast includes john prats, camille prats, angelica panganiban, carlo aquino, stefano mori and miko samson. this was a craze way back. they used to have apparels, notebooks and the g-mik nation - their nationwide tour. i remember buying a lot of posters and memorabilia.. my mum used to ask me what i am going with those stupidness, i remember telling my mum, "its a collection!"
as far as i remember, g-mik started when i was in grade 5. i never missed any of their episodes even when they were reinvented and added some casts like heart evangelista and janus del prado.until i was in high school, i was so hooked to this group that i even asked my aunt (ate jenny) to accompany me on one of the shooting days of PAHINA (carlo aquino's educational show) that happens to be on location in our town. that white house where they shoot the episodes of pahina happened to be within our vicinity. my aunt, who is in her early twenties that time, was eyeing carlo aquino. hahaha.. JCS (john, carlo and stefano) were such a craze to all the teens even teens at heart.
i never got the chance to see miko samson before. so when i bumped at him at the starbucks in serendra, i almost faint. i remember how i wish to see this guy before. he was so finesse and elegant. there was something about him that made me remember everything. i listened to his voice while he was chatting with his friends.my gosh! he talks soooper smart. you wouldnt even believe that he's real. he was not tall as i expected it but damn, he was so gorgeous. not to mention the fact that he was reading some books- this was educational books that i saw, he was still so brainy.
then after that night, i began my research. i searched for g-mik now and then. i found out that miko samson is currently studying law at ateneo. that explains the seriousness with the books. i learned so much about him that my admiration grew stronger. he is really someone to look up to. from a well-off family, a consistent honor student now studying law, a talented guy.. what more can you asked for. now im wondering why he quit show business.
can't help but wonder.. if i go back to serendra, will i see him again?
