Uncalled for Mistake

Anywhere in the world, one could find Filipino employees in the tourism industry. To lessen homesickness, they keep updated with news from the country and latest personalities in the entertainment industry. Sightings of Filipino celebrities always bring joy to overseas workers.

One of the highlights of a hotel staff was seeing Amiable Guy (AG) and Female Celebrity (FC) in their premises. AG and FC are open with their relationship and do not mind being seen in public. As most of the hotel staff were Filipinos, AG and FC were given the best accommodations and services. Excitement was in the air when the two were welcomed. The staff prepared to impress the two. The room with the best view was given to them and the service was impeccable.

On the first day, everything was going well. Although the hotel had strict privacy policies, the Filipino staff would ask FC for selfies whenever the supervisor was not around. FC was game and played along. However, on the second day, all the Filipino staff were pulled out, which shocked them. Allegedly, FC said that she felt uncomfortable with the crew. The staff wondered how the mood changed quickly, as she declined further requests for photos.

Only a major reason could have changed FC’s attitude quickly. Apparently, FC thought she saw the ex-girlfriend of AG near where they were staying. Without telling AG, FC decided to shorten their stay and reasoned out that they have more places to see. As AG and FC were leaving, FC became anxious while at the lobby. AG was cool and pointed at a woman at the lobby as well. AG told FC that the said woman looked like his ex-girlfriend. FC realized that her change in disposition was baseless, as the said woman was the person she saw. FC thought AG’s former lover followed them, but she was just too paranoid and sadly, jeopardized the reputation of the Filipino staff.

Just an Illusion

Sometime ago, Mr. Cool (MC) met with Known Actor (KA) to learn from his wisdom and insights about the entertainment industry. MC was eager to talk to KA, who was years ahead in terms of experience and connections. Given that they have common friends, the rapport and subsequent friendship were easily established. KA gave acting tips and MC shared insights about fixing relationships. That was it.

Meanwhile, stories often have other versions regardless of the person who tells the narrative first. While a version is relayed, other people would have reactions and even their own versions. Unfortunately, no one can control how other people would react.

When MC was asked in private about how he deals with stories about him, he told his team not to bother and gave his usual non-reactive behavior. Mud and stones can be thrown at him, but MC would rather remain calm. Allegedly, MC said that stories were just illusions. After all, he said he’s the only one who knows himself best. However, MC felt disappointed at the way things are being presented and monetized. His concern was the effect on his family more than anything else.

MC further expressed that he understood that the pandemic had led people to seek means to earn, but he hoped such ways would not equate to using others. If one needed financial help, one could ask without being negative towards another.

‘Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is like a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue. . . . ” − Ralph Waldo Emerson

Really Mean

What one posts in social media can be interpreted by viewers as the user’s true self and thereby create an impression that can last forever. Usually, when the user has calmed down, he/she will say that the post is just him/her being real and is not his/her real personality. Hence, people who only see such posts will forgive and move on.

By contrast, people who have had actual encounters with people who post mean videos are the best ones who can say what or who is real. Like many social media users, Distraught Personality (DP) used her account to express an issue that many felt should have been left in private. However, as a celebrity, DP probably felt that sharing a bit of her life in public is called for, given her status.

Viewers of DP’s posts were divided between sympathizing with her and shaking their heads over her attitude. Allegedly, DP is not exactly Miss Congeniality, as she can be mean behind the scenes. Only actual people experience the true personalities of celebrities during moments when cameras cannot capture their movement.

In one of her shows, DP would allegedly scream at production staff, which made them feel that she seems to be the one giving them their salary. DP is a talent and like them, is paid by the same producers. In addition, DP does not want anyone to stand in her way, as she would push such staff aside. For newbies working with the production, DP made their work memorable out of her being nasty. They are no longer surprised why DP’s life events are not exactly turning out perfectly, as one would hope for.
