Happy New Year, Marie

There live a family of dragons in Makati. There's Heljon, the doctor by day-barista by night father; Mavia Ezze Ngera, the stewardess mother; and Kaycee, the long-bodied eccentric son.

This year is finally Kaycee's coming of age and, as a clan tradition, he gets to ask his parents for The One Greatest Gift. And, as another tradition, as it is to be The One Greatest Gift, only one parent should be able to give it. Yes, a contest: The one who loses dies a gruesome death. The winner gets to meet Oprah. Such is the reason why dragons of their ancestry avoid having kids at all costs. Now why and how China missed out on that moral, no one really knows...

And so the quest for Kaycee's One Great Gift began. Ravaging towns, ransacking Malate, ruining Tubathaha and interrogating MMDAs, Heljon and Mavia have searched and searched for the cursed thing. Nothing else but their lives are at stake, and both clearly have no plans of dying before the De Venecias and the Macapagals piss and make up... --kiss, I mean kiss.

"Bummer. How will they do it...? Lethal injection? Gas chamber? Sarah Geronimo's Forever's Not Enough on an endless loop???" Heljon was beginning to worry. While considering pulling a Bin Laden to postpone his apparent doom, he luckily chanced upon Froilan The Whiz in one of his pit stops. He immediately consulted his dilemma to the modern wiseman, and the rocker-lover-sage, confident but sincere, tipped him to find the legendary One Ampao, said to contain magical coupons that could grant its finder any wish. "That's it!" Heljon thought, "That's my ticket to survival! ... And Shakira!!"

Little did he know that Mavia had already sought Froilan's help. And hadn't the old man, on his 30th mug of gin, slipped on her bribe for him not to tell Heljon, the lagging hubby wouldn't have stormed out Pegasus to catch up on Mrs Sneaky... And if he knew the instinctive her, there's only one place she'd overturn if only to find the One Ampao.

SM.

Drop that brow. You know you love that mall too. Here, I got pictures of their/our adventure:

(Mavia wants some choco, like Heljon hasn't been giving her his choco...)

(Mavia loves Abba. Heljon goes for Jaya!)

Here's a fine dragon: classy and health conscious. And obedient!


Finally, the competitors found the One Ampao. And all hell broke loose, putting EVERYONE to a stop in showbiz-y amusement...

Of course there are those who could care less:

I'm not sure how it ended up for the couple. I lost interest when we passed by Lapid's Chicharon. But, so as to give some kind of ending to this idiotic story: I could've been the winner when I saw Kaycee on my way out...

Kaycee has found his One Greatest Gift. Bratz.

Kong Hei Fat Choi!
