Sharon Cuneta: "I never expect anyone I meet to know who I am"
Kuwento ni Sharon, may nag-forward sa kanya ng post mula sa anak ng nakatabi niyang doktora.
Hindi raw sana siya magpu-post tungkol dito pero ginawa na raw itong public post ng kamag-anak ng doktora.
Lahad ng Megastar, "MegaTeammate Angel saw this online and sent it to me! Am reposting it because it had already been posted.
"I met this very sweet lady, Dr. Luna, on my PAL flight to LAX We were seatmates. And it was a pleasure flying beside her! Yes, from the time I sat down, I said 'Ma'am, if I may help you with anything po, please just let me know'"
Ganito raw kasi siya pinalaki ng kanyang mga magulang.
Bukod pa rito, kapag may mga bago siyang nakikilala, hindi siya nagpapakilalang artista o celebrity kundi "Sharon" lamang.
Pagpapatuloy niya, "It is the way my parents raised me. I am very mindful and respectful of ANYONE I come across, especially if they are older than I.
"More than the fear that Mom & Dad might rise up from their crypts and bonk me on the head if I didn’t show respect, demonstrating what your folks taught you all your life honors them always.
"We then introduced ourselves, and whenever, wherever I do, I just say "Sharon." We ate, and slept with only a few exchanges.
"When I woke up, Dra. wasn't in her seat When she walked back, she greeted me with a cheerful 'Good Morning!'
"Afterwhich she immediately said 'You know, I have to apologize to you! I didn't know I was seated beside the 'great' (her word not mine!) Sharon Cuneta!
"Now I never expect anyone I meet to know who I am because of what I do for a living.
"People come from everywhere all across the world and many, even fellow Filipinos, have never heard of me or other Pinoy Celebrities.
"I never introduce myself as a celebrity but always, as the person I am 24/7. But then those very sweet words kicked off a nice conversation that really brought me many smiles.
"I am happy to have met you, Dr. Luna. And if and when I become 87 (!), I pray that I be just as sharp, strong, and beautiful as you! I will never forget you!
"And I will happily push your luggage cart again anytime. God bless you always and lots of love and hugs and kisses!"

THE POST
Maliliit ang mga letra ng post na ibinahagi ni Sharon pero mababasa rito ang kuwento ni Dr. Lilia sa kanyang anak.
Nakasaad sa post: "Mama Li said that when her seatmate at the plane arrived, she told Mom that she would help Mom if she needed assistance.
"Mom described her seatmate as a tall mestiza. When Mom woke up from her nap, she went to the galley to ask for a snack and told the stewardess that she will have the snack in the galley 'para di magising yung katabi ko.'
"Flight attendant (FA): Ma'm, kilala niyo po ba kung sino yung katabi nyo?"
"Mom: Hindi. Mom doesn't watch any local shows. FA told Mom her seatmate's name and said that she's a frequent passenger.
"When Mom's seatmate woke up, she kept Mom entertained with her life stories, from her teenage years, past partner to present for the rest of the long haul flight.
"Mom's seatmate even asked for Mom's phone and took their selfie. At the airport, her seatmate even pushed Mom's luggage cart and told Mom that she has staff who will handle her eight suitcases for her anyway.
"They took more photos. Mom said that she didn't get to watch any movies nor hold her phone on the flight.
"I said she was entertained nonetheless, with a real-life autobiography at that. Mom said nawala ang pagod nya from her preceding hectic sked."
