| IC Mendoza's birthday wish: "Magkaroon ng lovelife."Author: Nerisa Almo
He continues, "Ayaw kong maging ipokrita na ‘Ayaw ko ng love life.' Gusto ko magkaroon ng lovelife, siyempre sino ba namang hindi?" IC also reveals that he has had two serious relationships, one of which lasted for six months. He says, "Matagal na para sa akin 'yon." He's serious when he says that he doesn't want a boy-next-door type for a boyfriend. Asked to describe his ideal guy, the irrepressible IC says, "Gusto ko madumi. Di naman taong grasa pero gusto ko bad boy. Alam mo yun, bad boy, kaya 'kong protektahan. Ayoko ng masyadong pa-cute, 'di ba?" Of course, the name of Sergio Garcia—his co-star in the "LRT" episode of Shake, Rattle, and Roll 8—is brought up. In a PEP article dated December 26, 2006, the young star openly admitted having a crush on Sergio. The night of IC's party, Sergio is missing in action but IC has a ready explanation. "Si Sergio, di siya makakapunta kasi nagbebenta siya ng paputok para pang-tuition ng mga anak namin. Siyempre kailangang mag-work para sa future ng mga anak namin." THE SUPPORTIVE MOTHER. Meanwhile, IC's mom Dolly Anne Carvajal, is busy attending to the party guests. The No. 1 columnist of inq.7 based on page views, Dolly Anne shares her birthday message to IC: "Lahat ng kanyang ilusyon, fantasies, and dreams, wish ko matupad. Sana kapag na-in love siya e, ako pa rin ang number one love niya." It was in 2005 when IC dropped the bomb that he was gay. His mom, the daughter of the late legendary showbiz personality Inday Badiday, admits hearing it but being unable to accept it at first. "I was in denial," she says. It took her a long time to accept her son's admission, but when she finally did, the support she gave IC was, in her words, "todo-todo na talaga, mas sobra-sobra pa." In fact, the party is her birthday gift to IC, and she has the Watering Hole reserved for her son's exclusive use that night. THE GUESTS. FMH's Sexiest Pinay Katrina Halili and former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Say Alonzo, who worked together in the movie Gigil, are among the early wishers. Katrina's message for IC, now increasingly called ICE: "Stay beautiful, lalo pa siyang gumanda...At sana tuluy-tuloy lang yung mga projects na dumarating sa kanya at mga blessings. Sana maging diyosa siya." Actors Polo Ravales and Diether Ocampo make an appearance, while John Estrada is a scene-stealer for coming to the party with a mysterious non-showbiz date and their friends. Also present are director Maryo J. delos Reyes and Redgie Magno, who came with her handsome sons. Cesar Montano, IC's biggest crush, extends his birthday message via text. The celebrator happily reads aloud a portion of the text message: "Kahit na wala kami ni Shine, love na love ka namin. Inuman tayo minsan." IC is a Fine Arts freshman student in University of Santo Tomas. After his movie Shake, Rattle, and Roll 8, IC will be working as the lead character in the play Manlilinlang. The character he plays is gay. He is also set to work with Cesar Montano in Reunion, an independent film where IC will play a "straight" guy. Source: Philippine Entertainment Portal |
