“She even greeted the reporters with a fingerheart pose, a gesture she made during her flopped mayoral campaign”
I MAY be one of those who would poke fun at people who would be so overdramatic upon watching the movie Titanic. I honestly thought that it could be overrated, possibly because of how its storylines have been saturated beyond the movie. Apart from the ubiquity of the James Horner-penned “My Heart Will Go On,” I also find one of their quotes…awkward, to say the least.
It was a mix of straightforward and enticing, as this scene would lead to one of the film’s notable moments. Upon seeing a diamond necklace, known as the Heart of the Ocean, Rose then uttered this line.
“I want you to draw me like one of your French girls wearing this.”
That line, for all good and bad reasons, was worthy of remembering even until this day. People could not seem to take their glimpse away from it. As this was transported to the internet and social media, it grew itself into a passage of becoming a meme.
Now, I wouldn’t say the same for *clearing my throat* Sarah. That shameless Discaya.
Oh, that poor (redacted). She went into the DoJ office with a smile on her face. She was to appear before the body as part of her application into the Witness Protection Program.
Oh no, but wait, she even greeted the reporters with a fingerheart pose, a gesture she made during her flopped mayoral campaign. She may have been rushed by the men who guarded for her safety, and yet she did not hesitate to hand us a big middle finger with her grin.
She came and left as if she was to be made innocent by the authorities investigating her.
I could sense that she may have been pissed. After all, she already had become the subject of unforgiving memes about her wealth and appearance. Oh, as well as her honesty.
But she had to hide her annoyance towards the reporters who covered her by blurting out one “request”; “gandahan nyo na lang ang mga memes ko.”
Have mercy on me, but okay. Let me draw back to a recent meme that has been associated with her (and her husband Curlee).
To borrow a line from an Atlanta-based cola company, “have a Coke and a smile!”
On the Blue Ribbon’s last hearing, Sarah appeared to have been exercising her natural right to go hungry. In a video circulated on my Twitter feed, she had her tongue out, while holding a can of soda during its lunch break. She also munched down her lunch, probably courtesy of the Senate staff, with no trace of diabetes in her look. That illness was also the “reason” that Curlee masterfully announced in an earlier proceeding, something that was quickly countered by Sen. Lacson.
I find that clip an insult to those who are diabetic. Enjoying a can of soda, in her own display of sheer gluttony, felt like a slap that was struck to those who had to drink something sweet to manage their insulin levels. While I wouldn’t want to question her right to satiate her hunger (or whatever that was), her capacity to laugh off the situation at hand was unbearable.
But equally so, I felt that Sarah’s critics were inconsiderate at that instance of their critique. In pointing out the presence of soda on her table, they seemed to raise their eyebrows too quickly that diabetics had to live with anything sweet just to stabilize their gut. They may not have lived with diabetes — yet. But they’ll find it one day in their system. May we be spared by it, by the way.
Back to Sarah and her short request. Gosh, what do we need to give her so that she could put some blush on her byuuuutiful fez? An entire Mena cream? A custard pie? Or acrylic paint?
You be the judge. I’ll let you guys put that smile back on her face.
