Engelbert Humperdinck

When my mom saw the tv commercial of Engelbert Humperdinck early last year she was excited and happy to hear that he'd be in town for a concert.

Mom: Ayy, si Engelbert Humperdinck.
Ruth: Sino yan?
Mom: Si Engelbert Humperdinck, di mo kilala? Ano ka ba?
(starts singing) Release me, let me go, for I don't love you anymore.
Ruth: Ngee, oldies! Want to watch?
Mom: (giggles) Talaga? magkano ba ticket?
Ruth: Ten thousand.
Mom: Ayyy ganun, wag na ang mahal mahal naman. Sabagay Engelbert Humperdinck siya.
Ruth: Nge, di ko pa din siya kilala. If you really want eh. Libre kita.

In the end, mom begged off coz she wasn't in the best of health. She wasn't also allowed to go to public places during chemo sessions.

I miss mom.
