Tired or Swell-headed?

Image courtesy of www.mdjunction.com

Is young actress (YA) getting swell-headed this early? YA reportedly walked out of the set of her latest project. The production team PT was surprised, YA reasoned out that she was already tired. Of course,  PT could not just accept this because they have been working a lot longer than YA, yet they have to be professionally committed to the finish. Doesn't YA know that any disruptions in the set incur additional costs on PT's part or the crew won't get paid? Many have noticed that ever since her boyfriend (BF) publicly admitted that they are together, YA seemed to have changed.

YA ought to know humility and that anything she does - good or bad, will most likely be linked to her bf. In case she has no history, BF has always kept his relationship low profile. Except for a leaked kissing photo, he is private with his lovelife. Moreover, he is already established and her presence in his life does not really add up to anything. In contrast, being his girlfriend increases her value, so to speak.

Another issue is that despite her years in the network and good projects, YA still has not achieved the status compared with the other homegrown talents of the network. Her launching series only did fairly, and her recent project did better but this series can not be entirely credited to her as it had a commendable set of actors on its roster and was aired on primetime. Perhaps she should rethink where her career is going. YA has yet to cultivate a certain image to standout amongst her peers to make her a bankable star. And talks of her unprofessionalism is certainly not the vehicle to get there.

The Bloody Encounter

Image courtesy of www.layoutsparks.com

This blind item had been posted on Fashion PULIS previously, but it was only recently that the source told FP the more detailed part of the story. So here goes:

One night, Showbiz Mover (SM), a Budding Actor (BA), and some friends were drinking. When they were already drunk, BA teased SM about giving in to something that SM had always desired from BA. So, in the heat of the night, SM went inside BA's room and started giving him more than what he desired --- as in bottomless. Everything was savored with wild abandon, in action-packed, unlimited bliss. Due to drunkenness, and horniness, they have forgotten to put on the much-needed protection.

Came morning, BA panicked when he saw that there was blood in his undershorts. He thought he might be dripping blood, he woke up SM. SM lifted the sheets and saw blood on him as well. In short, the unprotected bliss could have caused some tearing in BA. SM became very alarmed and called a doctor-friend who came over and treated BA’s “injuries.”

Now came the unwelcome surprise: A few days later, a family member (FM) dropped by to visit BA to get his allowance. FM became furious when he saw BA could not move as much. BA reasoned out that he had developed hemorrhoids from eating too much spicy food. And that the pain and swelling limited his movements. He assured FM he just needed rest and would be okay soon.

But FM wasn't convinced. At the back of his mind, he suspected there was something fishy and BA was lying. Sensing possible trouble, SM gave FM his allowance --- a lot bigger than expected. FM was handed quadruple of the amount he went there for. Afterwards, SM sarcastically told him to not come back until after a few months.

Will SM and BA have a part two of that bloody encounter? Sure it will never be as bloody as the first. As they say, practice makes perfect. So I guess, they will do more practice. And as such, will BA now become SM’s favored one? You know what that means -- more projects, more moolah, more LOVE!

A Time for Me

Each of us has a lurking procrastinator alter ego deep inside. We have many things in mind, but we lack the action plan, or at least the drive to pursue whatever has been staying too long on our bucket lists. If we start recalling the items today, we would probably see these—

Time to lose weight.
Time to try wake boarding
Time to travel.
Time to share your blessings.

Most of us would think that these items are farfetched. Worse, as we examine our progress towards achieving these and see nothing, we feel dismayed. But there are things on our list that need no thinking time; only an impulse action to make things happen. Think—time to don a red dress, time to buy a new bling, time to dress up your Chihuahua, time to carry a big handbag, time to wear a pair of cobalt blue pumps, and what have you. And sometimes, we only need a spark of idea and a rekindling of buried hopes which may be jumpstarted by some visual foray during a shopping spree or a graphic exhibit. Why not enjoy both in “A Time for Me”?

A “Time for Me” is an exhibit of things you need to find time for, coupled with a shopping bazaar that could just get your creative juices flowing. It’s happening at the Eastwood Central Plaza on November 16- 19 from 10 am to 12 mn daily.

There’s no time to waste. Get your ME-time in no time as you check out this bazaar!

An Amnesiac 'Carinderia' Girl

Image courtesy of www.deviantart.com

Reality Star RS came from very humble beginnings. She used do chores in a carenderia back in the province to earn and help support her school expenses. Until she ventured into showbiz and became mightily successful. But it seems that RS was blinded by the bright lights of show business and decided to erase her humble past.

Some weeks before the premiere night of her solo movie opposite a very Popular Actor PA, her former friends and co-workers from the carinderia FC, who had then become her biggest fans saved up money to come to Manila to attend the premiere. They sent messages to RS multiple times to ask if she can give them tickets to catch a glimpse of her. But until the day of the premiere, there was no word from RS. Thus FC's efforts to come to Manila to see and watch her were put to waste. Needless to say, they were all hurt and devastated.

Perhaps it's time for RS to take stock and take a long hard look at her past. Maybe, it's not yet too late to acknowledge the people who one way or another had been a big part of what she is today - her FC's who had been supporting her from the very start. Who knows, if RS will do this, fate will be kinder to her and her next movie will fare a lot better and not bombed at the box office.

Can't wait to reveal who the main characters are in this most exciting wedding ever!!

Letter from a Reader: Get and Go?

Dear Fashion PULIS,

When a big and popular gym decided to open a branch in Binondo, I was happy as there is no modern and new gym in our area. Upon inquiring, they confidently said that the gym would be operational by Oct 15, 2012 and that their target soft opening was on September 2012. Given that they have three months time, I told myself that would be enough for them to do all the construction-related work and therefore decided to join them 1st of July and paid the corresponding fees.

Came October, I passed by this mall (where they have a booth) and followed up on the status of the opening of the gym. I was told that there were some delays but they promised that it should be operational by mid-November. Came November, I asked and followed up again, and was told by the manning staff that I can start going to the gym by last week of November. Excited, I decided to pass by the area to check on the construction progress and how the gym would look like. To my surprise, the whole area is still covered and construction work seemed to have just started. I spoke to the contractor and was told that their deadline is December 2012.

I went back to the booth and asked for their manager, and the staff explained that by last week of November, the group exercise area will be ready and will be part of their soft opening. I doubted it very much as the said area is still under construction for interior works, wiring and all. I spoke to someone from their head office and all they could do was apologize and offered excuses that there were some problems with licenses and turn over of tenant space.

Apparently, what this gym has been doing is to get more accounts as possible to sign up for them and give false hopes and endless promises as proven by the events unfolding. This is a complete fraud and I wish to warn people not to be fooled by their sales talk. By the way, a refund will take 60 days to process.

Thank you for publishing my letter, Fashion PULIS. This is for everybody's information and hoping everyone will be warned.

Sincerely yours,
Paulo

Smart Scores ‘5-0’ over Competition in NTC test

The latest network quality tests conducted by the National Telecommunications Commission has confirmed the network superiority of Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) over its competition, according to the company spokesperson.

“This time the score is ‘5-0’,” said Smart public affairs head Ramon R. Isberto. “Smart outperformed the competition in all five parameters of the 3rd Quarter Quality of Service QoS) Benchmarking tests.”

Representatives from the NTC made over 2,189 test calls while inside a moving vehicle to measure the performance of the two telcos, which had both recently modernized their respective networks in Metro Manila.

Smart had a clear edge in the Blocked Calls or Grade of Service (GoS) parameter, with only 2.54 percent of calls made on the Smart network not connecting successfully. Globe had more blocked calls, registering 2.75 percent in the said parameter.

Globe also had more dropped calls, with 2.75 percent of incoming calls made on the Globe network terminated involuntarily. In contrast, Smart had a Drop Call Rate (DCR) of only 2.15 percent – against the minimum 2 percent DCR standard.

Smart still dominated in terms of Average Receive Signal Level, registering -61.14 dBm against Globe’s -69.21 dBm. This means Smart had stronger signal strength while the voice calls were ongoing.

Smart was also ahead in the Average Signal Quality category. Smart scored 0.65 while Globe scored 1.03, against the minimum acceptable range of from 0 to 4, or the closer to 0, the better. This shows that Smart had better voice quality transmission than Globe.

Smart also outshone the competition in terms of Call Set Up Time, or the time it takes for a network to activate the called party. Smart met quality standards with a score of 11.23 seconds, versus Globe’s 11.56 seconds. The acceptable industry standard is below 14 seconds.

“What these numbers mean is that Smart subscribers enjoy better-quality service,” Isberto said. “We are able to deliver superior voice, text, and data services even though we have the largest subscriber base.”

Desperate Measures

Image courtesy of www.amazon.co.uk

Cover girl CG is acting up like she is so desperate for a lover. Once she was linked to the Hottest Guy HG in town. After her split with HG, she hooked up with a Very Popular musician VP who after a while dumped her. Right now, CG's undivided attention is focused on this one cute Media Personality MP.

CG tries her best to get noticed by MP at all costs, to the extent that she relentlessly stalks him via social network. Only recently, CG allegedly sent MP something sweet to his office. Unfortunately, due to health limitations, MP wasn't able to consume it. Hence, it was his staff who did the consuming for him. At MP's latest tv guesting, the Host HO, who was a friend to CG made insinuations to MP that CG's got a crush on him, as in he is the apple of her eyes. Surprised by such declaration, the ever gentleman PM, didn't want to offend HO and managed (or pretended?) to look like tickled, or "kilig" in tagalog. Being in media and aware of how television can cruelly magnify expressions, MP's reaction was understandable.

In one of MP's tv assignments, his heart went out to his subject, a Weather Forecaster WF. He took pity on the man for being so lowly paid that he couldn't even afford to have a cellphone. CG who was as expected watching MP at that time took the opportunity to once again make her presence felt, and perhaps gain points. Guess what CG did? She immediately sent over units of cellphone to MP's office. The package's sender's names indicated it came from CG and her gay bff.

But wait, there's more! In another situation, MP was going to host a formal corporate event and he tweeted asking his friends where he could buy a nice suit. CG read his tweet, and again came to the rescue and offered to send someone to take MP's measurements -- a subtle yet vulgar way of saying she would provide what he needed. But MP politely turned it down.

Seriously, those in the know said that MP just wants CG out, as he is completely turned off by her over-aggressiveness in pursuing him. Sounds cruel to hear for someone being alluded to. But, yes, the truth really hurts.

For those who don't know MP's background, his actions speak a lot about him and where he comes from. He just can not be dazzled and bought. And to CG, after your experiences with MP, guess it's about time to reassess yourself and learn more on what works best. Try another tack, something that won't disappoint big time. Also, prayers help.

When She Gets Hired, I Plan to Resign!

Image courtesy of www.grayson.edu

Is the management of a major network (MN) up for a major reorganization? One of the original heads (OH) when the network was launched is threatening to resign. The reason: the network is hiring a consultant (C) with whom OH has some problems with. When OH accepted the offer of MN, the position gave him more control over the direction of the network, its talents and shows. Under his leadership, the network had good productions and managed to lure the big stars under its wings. Unfortunately being new in the game amidst the crazy competition, no matter how hard he worked, the network could not seem to move up the ladder of ratings. Some reasons for such were already beyond his control, anyway.

Meanwhile, C had established a legacy prior to leaving her former network. C was able to make some of her ex-network’s discoveries carve names for themselves. She also had several shows that earned good ratings. Thus, when C moved on, she decided to contribute to the industry by professionalizing  talent development.

Recently, C and OH were part of a team that aimed to develop fresh talents for MN. However, controversy hounded them as some were not happy with the final choices. Nonetheless, the program was able to generate noise and interest. OH seemed fine with the arrangement as C was under the capacity of a consultant, while OH was the head of a department.

Now, that C has allegedly been hired by the network, OH is not comfortable with the development as his issues concern integrity. C has been known in the circle as one who is shrewd and scheming, as was proven in their last project that just concluded. In that project, C made sure that she'll make huge profits for her business which she attached to the project. Likewise, majority of MN people share OH's sentiments that C is not a fair team player.

Will C’s new role run smack into OH's plans for the network? Will OH be relegated to a lower position since C is more senior than him? Incidentally, the top honchos of MN are not keen on accepting his resignation. Hence, the waiting begins. Will MN attempt for a win-win situation or will it drop OH in favor of C or vise versa? In the first place, why did the network decide to hire C anyway? Will C manage to turn around the fate of MN? Again, it’s a waiting game.

Rigodon of the Network Couples

Image courtesy of www.angbagongfilipino.wordpress.com

Sometime ago, Fashion PULIS was the first to break the story of the rigodon of the high profile couples of a network. While everyone seems to be settled and accepted the final pairings, one issue remains a mystery. This is the real story behind the break ups within Couple 1 and Couple 2:

First, Couple 1 had certified box office actor (CB) and low profile actress (LPA), whereas Couple 2 had box office hunk (CH) and naughty actress (WA). Both couples remained steadfast amidst each respective trials. Couple 1 kept breaking up and reconciling, whereas WA remained loyal despite rumors of alleged infidelity of CH.

Then, CB and WA were paired in a movie that required them to go on overseas location. The distance could have been a factor to ease up on their own personal issues, that somehow led CB and WA to become close, (err, physically close?) After that, the pact was set that everything that happened in that location would stay in there. When they came home, it was back to normal business, as if nothing happened. Unfortunately, someone leaked information to LPA. A woman scorned, she confronted CB who of course denied everything.

Since LPA could not get an answer that she wanted, she called CH, and sarcastically asked if WA got piqued by her conscience, meaning LPA wanted to know if WA opened up to CH. Expectedly, CH got mad and broke off the relationship. As for WA, she had enough of CH's infidelities and could not remain unaffected forever. She saw no point in salvaging the relationship and agreed to a break up.

In one incident, LPA and WA had some kind of altercation when they bumped into each other. Hints of the alleged confrontation slowly leaked into the media but were immediately censored as such stories would not help the network, CB, and LPA and WA.

Therefore, since CB had no more LPA, and WA had no more CH, they stood their ground and never looked back. Well, regardless of the reason, it only proves that the stars are just like everyone of us, capable of committing indiscretions. Thus, the couples deserve second chances at happiness despite all odds.

Is Celebrity Couple Secretly Married Overseas?

Image courtesy of www.facebook.com

How true that amidst the malicious rumors about them, this controversial couple had already tied the knot very quietly (and secretly) on a recent trip abroad? Between the two, it is The Lady TL who is more ecstatic for this milestone with The Gentleman TG, her boyfriend for years. Eversince she became Mrs. TG, TL has been on a happy mood and always wearing a beautiful smile for everybody. She's been slowly showing different persona --- charming, tactful, friendly. Indeed, what beautiful love cannot do? Having her one true love, TG to finally affix his signature on that very significant contract was the be all and end all for her.

For the longest time, their relationship had been put on the line as TL believes that TG was often target of dangerous flirtations from various beautiful women out there, something that "playful" TG has a hard time resisting. TL's insecurity is widely talked about in their circle. She is just too tired of wearing that RED lipstick over and over again just to prove herself. She believes that the only way to end her misery is for both of them to ink that pact.

On the other hand, TG realized he just had to give in to TL's persistent pleas to have this marriage --- for her peace of mind, and his, as well. 'Though he admitted that it wasn't that easy at first. Apart from TL's constant nagging that really annoyed him, TG weighed all the pros and cons, including a lucrative career that can be imperiled if and when TL decides to leave him for good. And the fact that his family didn't fully approve of TL was another thing he risked and really gave up for the "love" of her.
