F*ck You (ukulele cover)

The weirdest conversation I've ever had

This exchange took place on the set of a soap opera shoot, with a random guy from the crew; who I believe was only trying to be friendly, and only had good intentions striking up this convo. While refreshing my lines, waiting for my cue to enter frame,

CREW GUY:  Ma'am kilala nyo po si Elaine? Taga Cathay Pacific?
ME:  Elaine? (thinking hard if I actually knew anyone from Cathay Pacific)
CREW GUY:  Oo ma'am. Matangkad po, mga 5'7". Maganda tsaka sexy.

(wow. hindi ko ba talaga kilala 'to?)

ME:  Parang hindi po, Kuya. Wala yata ako kilalang taga Cathay.
CREW GUY:  Ah, 'kala ko kasi kilala nyo siya.
ME: (smiling, but still completely confused)
CREW GUY:  Kasi ma'am ka-uri nyo po siya e ... Tomboy din.

(Ah! The mystery is solved!)

ME:  (still smiling) Ay naku. Sorry po, Kuya. Hindi ko pa po kasi nakukuha yung bagong directory naming mga lesbyana.
CREW GUY:  (still clueless) Ah ganun ba, ma'am...

Sana makuha ko na yung updated lesbian directory ko. Kasi parang ang yummy ng description ni Kuya kay Elaine.
