Siguradung-sigurado ang indie singer, rapper, at songwriter na si Mito Fabie, aka Curtismith, na ang kanyang girlfriend na si Leila Alcasid ang babaeng karapat-dapat para sa kanya.
“Of course!” mabilis na sagot ni Curtismith nang itanong sa kanya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kung ang anak nina Ogie Alcasid at Michelle Van Eimeren ang “the one” dahil sa mga espesyal na katangian ng minamahal niyang karelasyon.
“She’s very caring, very loving, very smart, very creative, and she honestly makes me a better person.
“Hopefully, I do the same thing for her. I’d like to believe I do.
"And since we feel, like, we make each other better, I love everything about her, that’s what make me say she’s the one.”
Samantala, “very quiet, very slow at our own pace, very calm” naman ang pagsasalarawan ni Curtismith sa pagmamahalan nila ni Leila.
Kumusta naman ang kanyang relasyon kay Ogie at sa misis nitong si Regine Velasquez?
"I’d like to believe it’s very good, very healthy," reaksiyon ng 29-year-old rapper-songwriter.
“My parents aren’t around so it’s nice to have both of them, all of them, to be there for me.
"To help me when I need advice and all these things and just to see how they love Leila. It’s a very beautiful thing. Modern family sila, e.
“It’s really interesting from being an only child, no parents around to see that dynamic,” ani
Nag-iisang anak si Curtismith. Naulila siya sa ama sa edad na 15 at nagpunta sa ibang bansa ang kanyang ina noong labing-anim na taon siya.
Ang gawing sentro ng pagmamahalan nila ni Leila ang Panginoong Diyos ang isa sa mga payo nina Ogie at Regine na pinahahalagahan ni Curtismith.
“God first all the time, God first. As long as God is the center of the relationship, anything can be resolve, anything can be powered through and the love is much stronger then.”
Na-intimidate ba siya kay Ogie?
“Siyempre, na-intimidate ako [kay Ogie], pero Leila and I have been going out almost five years now.
"So, maybe for the first three years, every time I saw him, bigla na lang pumapasmado ako tapos kinakabahan talaga ako.
“But now, thankfully, I’ve learned to calm down around him and I really enjoy his company, as well as Tita Regine.”
Dahil parehong mahilig sa musika, nagkaroon ng collaboration sina Ogie at Curtismith. Pero kung ang rapper-songwiter ang masusunod, mas gusto niyang panooring nagtatanghal ang ama ng kanyang girlfriend.
“We have some songs together but I also like that he’s in a different type of world so for me it’s just nice to watch him flourish, thrive and be a superstar.
“Ako, I don’t wanna be like that. I’d rather be a fan and watch him.
“I love doing music and I don’t necessarily want to make it a full-time career so I have work outside. I have restaurants, I have businesses to supplement my life, and then the music is really just for the love.
“For me, it’s very difficult being a full-time artist simply because parang nagfu-fluctuate yung eksena and all that stuff, and I don’t want my life to be dependent on it, if I’m popular, people like me..
“I’d rather make money outside and then just keep doing this because I love doing it.”
Nabigyan ng pagkakataon ang PEP.ph na makausap si Curtismith sa engrandeng pagbubukas ng kauna-unahang branch ng Hoka Concept Store sa Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
Isa si Curtismith sa mga invited performer.
