Such a rainy Sunday! So nice to just loaf or roost in my nest watching the rain dripdrop away the day. O divah? But wait, naging tradition na namin ni Kulimlim , my fullblack feline baby (now joined by a tiger-y kit I named Memphis) to get tulala and let thoughts frame into photos of people who look like they are pinagbiyak na bunga ng tubatuba para mabentosa ang aking kagagahang makilalang eksperto sa larangan ng S@B!  So, as some visual remnants of a show ‘we’ (yes, tv addicts sina K at Memph) watched last night, biglang nag-on ang bulb of an idea sa isip ko : CHARICE (Pempengco) is a mirror-image of 70s teen icon LALA AUNOR! Superhanap ng photos at voila here I found a composite blazing proof of my imaginings! Magkamukha nga sila!  Ang  panga o jaw formation nila ay identical ; sa pagkachinita ay mas lalo na!  Perhaps pati sa height ay hindi rin sila nagkakalayo.  Both are singers , although mas may royalty chuvaness si Lala dahil she is the cuz of the Superstar.  Kaya naman hindi mahirap mahalin ang ilang mga baguhan sa showbiz ay dahil sa elementong pagkakahawig nila sa mga naunang matagumpay na stars.  When we all laid eyes on Charice, she looked familiar although it took quite sometime of pondering to realize her deadpan similarity to the now rich and successful businesswoman who is Maribel ‘Lala’ Aunor! Belated Happy Birthday Ms. Lala!
