ka-aura

Aura is described by Encarta Dictionary as "distinctive quality: a characteristic or distinctive impression created by somebody or something" as in an aura of mystery. It's that gut feel provoked in us by an individual that is oftentimes inexpressible. But ironically, this same beyond-words quality can be used as an adjective and interestingly not just to describe but to compare. And the funny thing is, we often understand the context in which it is used as a qualifier. And like I said, it goes deeper than the tangible image or similarities in physical attributes, say Lady Guy and Ate Guy's mole - the resemblance is striking and yet you can't describe them as mag ka-aura (dahil sadya bang there can only be one Superstar?).

As in the example above, celebrities are oftentimes the 'copy' we use to describe somebody's aura. Ang taray ni Luzviminda nung Christmas party, ka-aura ni Manay Celia (Rodriguez)!. Oh I'm sure by now you get the picture. No? Okay, try this:

La Imelda Papin, Yeng Costantino, Charice Pempengco



O ang tarush dava?!
