JOHN ESTRADA AND PRISCILLA MEIRELLES 'REUNITE'

If a picture paints a thousand words, then the family picture of my good friends, John Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles, speaks volumes.

With the permission of John's sister, Chin, I used her snap of their family in today's column. It was taken on November 21 after the school play ("A Christmas Carol") of John and Pri's daughter, Anechka. With them in the picture are John's son (Yuan), his mother (Lilia), Anechka, Chin and her husband Buck and their kids, Zach and Zoe.

John and Pri remain to be hands-on parents to their unica hija, who is wise beyond her years. Even if they are taking a break from being husband and wife, their being a mom and dad to Anechka goes on and on.

Since I'm close to John and Pri, I really hope that it's just "Time Out" and not "Time's Up" for them.

Sometimes couples have to be apart for a while to truly appreciate what they had together.

Louie Heredia on Miss U 'BTS'

While we all woke up early on a Sunday to catch the Miss Universe (Miss U) pageant live telecast on TV, my dear friend, Louie Heredia, was at the venue itself. He flew all the way to Mexico to show his support for Miss Philippines Chelsea Manalo. That's the kind of friend Louie is. He always goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively speaking).
