♥Born 1958 from Cagayan is my Lady number one♥♥♥.
When I asked malou for an interview and photo shoot, without a blink of an eye she said YES!
That’s the lady I knew fifteen years ago, no frills, self-confident, full of energy, very friendly (a sure landslide winner if she is in politics) her candid frankness will surely make the crowd or two burst into laughter. And yet at times, her friendliness gets her into trouble in which she just shrugs it off.
She is a registered nurse by profession and a “certified domestic diva” for many years now. She met her Lebanese husband Nabil while working at the same hospital. Married for twenty-one years and blessed with three children.
Her eldest son, Shady graduated recently – Industrial Engineering in UST, another boast of their blissful life. Hep! Hep! Hep! Hurray! Or should I write woot.. woot…!
As my dear photographer Edge and his assistants Kk (kev S and Kev V.) getting ready for the shoot, I took out nuts and ice cream for her lovable husband to keep him busy..yay! what I mean, be comfortable without “S”! ( S as in “sumpong” -tantrums) in fairness, he is very supportive to her and to me:-)
In one word can you describe yourself?
– FUNNY…young at heart
Is that your secret of being youthful?
– Yey! I visualized myself outside, I like to smile, I feel I must be desirable in and out. (if you know her, you will know her eyes are twinkling side view ,fingers swinging, hips swaying)
Are you scared of aging?
– Of course! Aging for me is like…as if the earth will stand still..like you ended your fruitful life.
( ha ha ha bulok na!..rotten!)
what advise can you give to ladies like your age?
– Remove stress! If there’s a problem take it easy..Smile and the world will smile at you..cry and you will cry alone..
How do you relieve stress?
–Singing, dancing, exercise, chatting
what is your philosophy in life?
– stand firm and always fight for your right! (at this time, Nabil is getting too attentive to the topic and wants to interject his opinion, we allow him at sometime but this is ladies talk..sorry guys!)
What is the best thing that happened to your life?
– when i got married , a new life had begun and I continued to evolve, continued to dream
How is it being married to a foreigner?
– difficult because we came from different culture, since I came to Jeddah as single and had enjoyed my life, I came to balance things. The first thing I learned when I got married is to cook . My husband said, If you don’t know how to cook, how can you feed your child? (I agree)
( Oh yeah! l love wara e’nab and molokeyyah)
Did you plan to marry foreigner?
– No! i have so many BF (boy friends and admirers etc) and I am proud of it, they are the trophies of my Ego. (Nabil smiling, i guess he is proud that malou choose him among her many admirers)
You only have one daughter, will you allow her to marry a foreigner? what advise would you give her in terms of relationship?
– she can marry the man she likes but I wish that she can find a man who will truly love her more than she loves him. And to have a career of her own.
Why? Have you wish you didn’t stop working?
– Yes, I like to be a working mother, to have a career but I am thankful of everything, I have very supportive husband, three good children, I am thanking God everyday!
What do you want to be remembered? your legacy?
– I want them to remember that I help a lot of people getting their diploma, an education, a gift that no one can take away from them.
To end, What advise can you give to Ladies beyond fifty?
– Acceptance! whatever decision you made in the past, don’t regret..move forward for life is too short, make the most of it ..Enjoy!
Yes! bon appetit..nuts and ice cream all gone… additional kilo..who cares? We love it!!!!
