Maria Bun and Mench Antopina took pictures together in Singapore or FaceTime when they were separated while watching the reality show.

Teodora Maria Bun and Menchilou Deo Antopina began watching “RuPaul’s Drag Race” like clockwork, in combination each week after meeting in Singapore.
To get more oomph, and with friends, they would usually have drinks, adding a mystery drink once combined with durian, the notoriously stinky fruit, whenever a drag queen on the truth show pulled off an incredible feat like a wheel, fracture, or fatal fall. . .
“It’s part of our relationship,” said Antopina, 32, known as Mench.
She “really liked” Ms. Bun, 30, who meets Maria, her first time on Tinder on a Sunday night in July 2020.
Ms. Bun’s eyes on a selfie blew her away.
“It shows her beauty,” said Antopina, who arrived in Singapore in late January 2020, weeks before the pandemic lockdown, to take a break from her career as an accountant in Cebu, Philippines, where she grew up. Up.
For a change of pace, Antopina, who has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Cebu Institute of Technology, was assigned a job as a janitorial services representative in Singapore. She is now a freelance accountant and supplies corporate accounting and multinational companies in the Philippines.
“I really liked her answer,” Bun, a 30-year-old lawyer, said at the end of Tinder, and invited her for a glass of red wine that night.
