Nadine Samonte…Part 2

Well…not exactly “Part 2”. In this dream, I was in Sta. Rosa, Laguna accompanying a former “Starstruck” contestant who was to interview Nadine Samonte. Nadine currently lives in Sta Rosa and she was a “Starstruck” contestant herself. For the record, I don’t know who the actor is and I’ve never been to Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

We found Nadine in a small apartment in a place that looks kind of like the corner of Taft Avenue and Buendia (the LRT is very visible). In reality, Nadine lives in a big house in a Sta. Rosa subdivision…which Nadine paid for with her earnings as an actress.

After quick introductions, the interview was undeway. The interview included short comedic skits and in one of them, Nadine held a kitchen knife to my nose a la Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown”. (I wonder if she was trying to tell me something then.) During the interview, I even spied one of my high school classmates walking the street.

And as the interview wound down, I tried to figure how I was going to go home. I remember the actor and I commuted to Sta. Rosa on a bus. It was then that I spied a jeepney whose drop off point was a supermarket. Shortly after though, I’d forgotten the name of the superarket and I remember snapping my fingers trying to decide whether it was, “Puremarket? Puregold?”

After the interview ended, the actor and I got into an argument. He said he wasn’t familiar with the bus route we took and begged me to accompany him home to Sta. Rosa, Laguna…which was odd considering that that was where we were all along.
