I've been an avid reader of yours for like a year and I would like to share with you a story about a young actor YA. YA was my former neighbor. He didn't know me, but I know him, of course.  

Before YA even entered showbiz, I already knew him for many years. Every time I walked around the village and met YA along the street, I would smile or say “Hi!” His reaction? Nothing. He would not even say a word or smile. YA just looked  and passed me by. This encounter happened several times. My other neighbors have experienced the same thing, and had described YA as a total snob. 

When he entered showbiz, his attitude became worse. He's more like "bilib sa sarili" or "mayabang." When he bought a car, he boasted off to his family, friends, and to some of our neighbors. His actions were a major turn off. One time, his voice was so loud that I could hear his conversation with his brothers boasting about the fans he had, and even compared his number of fans to those of other celebrities. One of his lines was, "I-compare mo naman fans nila sa fans ko." 

I was really happy and relieved when I knew he would be living in another house soon, away from our village. Recently, I saw him in the mall, eating in a restaurant. Girls naturally gathered around him asking for a picture, but the man he was with, told them that YA had to beg off. Then I realized, he never changed. YA was still the same snob guy I knew. 

Just sharing, 

Martin
