I talk about Anderson just about anywhere, regardless of who I'm talking to. I can't stop. Every chance I get, I drop his name. Anderson fool, I have become. Can you tell?

My daughter, Gillian, rolls her eyes everytime I watch AC360˚. My husband ignores me. My son, Dylan, likes Anderson, he likes his haircut. My mother ignores me, so does my sister. Clearly, they have no idea how good Anderson is. I think it's a crying shame.

Anyway, I thought I'd share with you some of my conversations involving AC.

In our house:

Me: "'Mom! come here, quickly. Hurry up, Anderson's on TV!"
Mamang: "What!? I'm busy."
Me: "Hurry up! Please..just a quick look, and I won't bother you anymore."
Mamang: "Okay, where?"
Me: "There, isn't he the handsomest anchor on tv or what?"
Mamang: "You call that handsome? I think Bon Jovi's way cuter than Anderson."
Me: "Nah! You're just saying that. Btw, that person in quite smart and the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, no less"
Mamang: "He looks like Redford White!"

While watching "Jeopardy!" one night.

Tony: "Man! that woman is good. She's so smart"
Me: "Ooh, yes! Did you know that she used to be a lawyer, she gave it up to be a plain housewife and mother to her 3 kids."
Tony: "Really? No wonder."
Me: "Did you know that Anderson's a 'Jeopardy!' champion not too long ago?' "
Tony: "Really? Hand me over the remote, I think I'll change the channel!"
He was just kidding, of course.

Me: "I think I'd like to have a pet dog."
Tony: "Me too, I'd like to have a dog just like Paris Hilton's."
Me: "Oh, really, it's a nice dog but I'm thinking more in the line of Spaniels."
Tony: "Why?"
Me: "Because Anderson's dog is a Welsh Springer Spaniel, her name is Molly.'
Tony: "I knew it!"

Dylan: "Mommy! Do I look like Anderson already?" He was referring to his hairstyle.
Me: "Oh, yes!"
Dylan: "Mommy, please put some gel on my hair so it will stay that way. I wanna be Anderson all day!
Me: "Well, come here! My little Anderson."

My sister: "Y'know what? I couldn't take it anymore, I watched AC360˚ yesterday."
Me: "Really? Did you like it? He's so cute, isn't he"
My sister: "He's so thin! Y'know, he looked a lot like your crush when you were in college, remember Richard?"
Me: "Hmmm... "

Gillian: "I knew it! You're watching Anderson again." *eyeroll*

In the office:

Me: (talking on the phone) "I really hate those people at Pag-ibig (love) Fund. It's been four months and they haven't approved my loan! Arrghh!"
Yolly: (clearly, she overheard me on the phone) "Hey, Sheila. What happened to Anderson? Why are you scorching mad?"
Me: "Huh? No, silly! I'm talking about my Pag-Ibig loan, not the other pag-ibig (love), which is Anderson. There's nothing Anderson can do to make me hate him."

Mang Nilo (our messenger): (looking at my desktop monitor) "Hey! What's Steve doing in your computer?"
Me: "Steve who?"
Mang Nilo: "Steve...Steve...Martin, is that right?"
Me: "Mang Nilo huh!"
Mang Nilo: "That's Steve, right? He looks like Steve Martin, they have the same hair."
Me: "Mang Nilo! I so hate you right now!!!"
