Lovelorn Can't Just Shut Her Memory

For the years that they were together, young actress YA tried to live with talented actor TA's drinking problem. Her friends have witnessed how she tried to cope with his alcoholism and the countless embarrassing situations YA had to go through as a matter of course. One day, YA suggested to TA to have himself undergo rehabilitation for the sake of his health, career and his total well-being. But the idea did not sit well with TA and was turned down immediately. Yet, YA was persistent since she deeply cared for him. But each time she brought it up, she was met with same negative response. Next day's news: both were history.

However, TA probably realized something. Up until early this month, he was still constantly calling YA day in and day out. She wouldn't pick up, yet he was very persistent. People close to them were wondering why he still had to call her when he and another actress were already publicly dating. Besides, YA already made it known to TA that she had given up on him and did not want any more connection. The next day, when he called again, she decided to change her number to finally get rid of him. She was so pissed that she even contemplated on returning all his gifts to her. But her friends advised her against it, rationalising that YA better treat the gifts as collateral damage for all the hurts TA caused her.

Her close kin were wondering 'though, since TA was already publicly dating this new girl, why was he still calling YA? Does it mean that he was not yet over her, as most of their friends and fans believe?

Observers contend that perhaps YA finally came to her senses and has indeed matured as a woman. Experience with TA has definitely taught her a lot - that rejecting him is to love herself.

Zac Efron Arrives in the Philippines

Hollywood A-list movie star Zac Efron (The Lucky One, 17 Again, High School Musical series) arrived in the Philippines today from Los Angeles, CA.

The 24 year old arrived mid-morning and was discreetly transferred from a commercial flight to a private plane headed to Legazpi City, an hour away by flight south of Manila.

Zac reportedly flew in with his father David Efron, manager Jason Barrett, and Hollywood photographer Darren Tieste for a brief holiday at Misibis Bay Resorts as personal guests of Bicolano tycoon Zaldy Co. He is scheduled to appear before a huge crowd of fans on September 29, 2012 at the Mall of Asia Arena for the Penshoppe Fan Conference 2012.

In recent years Zac continues to add impressive movie roles under his belt, with each project getting more challenging each time. Since his early days doing musical flicks, he has crossed over to light romantic comedies (17 Again, New Year’s Day), to more dramatic and mature roles (Charlie St. Cloud and The Lucky One). More recently, he starred alongside heavyweights Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack and Nicole Kidman in the period drama The Paperboy, and was recently at the Toronto International Film Festival for the film At Any Price with Dennis Quaid. The star shows sincere excitement as he visits the country for the first time. “Well, first of all this trip is an amazing, amazing excuse to go to the Philippines. I have always wanted to visit the Philippines. My dad who has been to your country several times has been telling me great stories about it,” he shares.

Back to the Grind

Intense Actor (IA) came to the story conference of his own movie intoxicated and in a foul mood. IA kept blabbering that the movie is rubbish. Yet, IA also stressed that he should play the lead role, and not merely a supporting one. In between, he kept ordering alcohol from the waiter. Obviously, he was over-drinking again. The production people respected his presence and let him be. IA even went as far as interrupting and contradicting the director, who was presenting the concept of the movie.

The lead actor was present but did not bother to react because he did not want to risk altercation with a very drunk IA, and ruin the story conference. IA kept cursing until the very end of the meeting. He even cursed his own handler. The wardrobe people had to stretch their patience as IA did not want to cooperate when they were taking his measurements.

Apparently, some things never change. IA is peg for real acting. Viewers have gone through a roller coaster ride with him when IA dealt with his heartbreaks, from failed relationships, deaths of someone close to him, and the hiatus of his career. Typical of alcoholic behavior, IA can be very sweet without alcohol but can be a monster with it.

Was this incident isolated? What drove IA to go back to his habit? Why did he renege on his promise a few months ago? IA is one actor who seems to have never learned from his experience. Although forgiving, the industry people have their limits. If IA loses his career totally, then he would have more reasons for drinking and destroy his life. But then, no one can save IA except himself, right?
