Can I Get a Discount?

What is it with most celebrities that in spite of their huge earnings, there is always that craving to want and get excited about getting gifts, freebies, or just about anything that is free?
Television Personality TP and her "partner" went out to dine in a posh restaurant specializing in pricey steaks. TP sought out the Restaurant Manager RM and told her that she would tweet about her dining experience in the place and put a photo of the food and steak in her social media account(s). RM was surprised with the gesture and thanked her. Right at the moment, TP took the opportunity to request for a discount for the effort. In other words: TP wanted an ex-deal for tweeting! MR although caught off-guard, was kind enough to grant her a big discount.
The next time around, TP went to the restaurant again. And once again, she had a chat with RM and told her that the previous tweets she did about the restaurant had resulted in so many responses (retweets, favorites), and explained to RM with pride that this kind of interaction will mean more sales and business for the restaurant. RM was more generous this time and gave TP free dinner! Of course, TP was more than delighted.
The third time, TP went there again, requested to talk to the manager once more, perhaps hoping for a special treatment. But alas, TP was told that RM was not at the restaurant at that time. For the first time, MP had her dinner – paid without discount. But unknown to her, RM was just around the restaurant all the while. She just decided to hide from TP as her request for discount is getting to be a habit – a big, bad habit for business.

For the Love and Lust of It

But unbeknownst to most, such passion to excel did not come like a walk in the park and without setback. She obviously worked hard for it and thus cultivated in her the bad habit of taking all the credits for every little honor and award she got without acknowledging the the equally hardworking people and staff who helped her in those accomplishments. PS is often accused of over self-promotion, and at times inventing non-existent titles/honors just to put herself in a pedestal.
PS has many advocacies, most of them geared for the protection of children and women. Yet some people privy to her know how badly she treats her own household staff - such as not providing them with sufficient food, a problem that the helpers have to contend with every single day. PS is forever on a diet, but for her househelp who are always loaded with work, dieting is the last thing on their mind...the last thing they will ever do.
People who know her say that PS, inspite of her public image of compassion doesn't have a heart towards the people closest to her, those who work for her. A very demanding boss, her staff is overworked as she expects from them the same workhours she imposes on herself. Something the staff frowns at and cries foul because unlike her, they don't have their boss' luxurious lifestyle and millions in financial perks.
PS obviously doesn't walk her talk. She's quite popular in public because they don't know any better that amidst the public image of honesty is the absence of transparency. A self-proclaimed middle class raised by daily wage earning parents with no business to speak of, how are the mansions and properties situated in well-entrenched and paved communities be explained?
As some pundits would say -- "Let them turn green with envy."

Letter from a Reader: Mrs. Cynthia Villar Disrespected the Nursing Profession
Mrs. Cynthia Villar,
We, nurses, are so disappointed by what you have said about our profession. That we don't deserve quality education, that we don't need to finish BSN, that we are "room" nurses and that we don't need to be good at what we do?
Shame! You didn't just disrespect us and our profession but you also disrespected our parents who worked very hard just to put us through nursing school. It is so sad to know that even our own "kababayan" degraded our profession that is known to be noble. Reality check MRS. CYNTHIA VILLAR, please count all the unregistered and registered nurses in the Philippines and overseas. Do you think you will win the Senate race?

Betrayed by My Friend

It seems that stunning actress (SA) must have learned that even those she considers as closest and trustworthy friends can speak behind her back and reveal her deepest secrets to an unsuspecting audience. Thus, SA must have figured out by now the source of the alleged stories circulating about her.
First, SA is allegedly bragging about her one night experience with athlete-actor (AA). AA is quite good looking and would be anyone’s dream catch especially now that he is single. Too bad, it was probably just physical attraction as they have never been linked. The question is if they hooked up when they were both in their former relationships. Well, AA has moved on and is now paired with another equally stunning talent of their network.
Second, SA is allegedly hooked on a certain habit. This issue is quite critical as SA again has never had any similar issue linked to her name and reputation. Her image has always been clean and wholesome, and the network has kept it that way. Despite her well-publicized break up, SA faced the aftermath with poise and grace.
So, how did these personal details leak out? Well, when friends get into a nasty fight, someone can just say things without thinking of the repercussions of telling stories against the other. The most difficult things in confiding to a friend are that one will never know how long the friendship will last, and if the other party will start talking just because the friendship got tainted by a quarrel or a betrayal.
As William Blake said, “It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend,” and much more effort will it take to forgive a former close friend.
