A Calming Murmur to My Sadness

Image courtesy of www.nintendo-x2.com

Deeply rooted within us is the desire to be happy. Our whole being will never desire sadness or rejection. However, the fact is that everything in life exists along with its opposites. The degree of sadness may be mild or intense depending on how strongly we identify with it.

Everyone, regardless of status has in more ways than one experienced extreme sadness in her/his life. This happens even for no reason at all. It is but natural, psychiatrists would say. And yet, it could be depression, too. There are many ways to address this. Some indulge in what helps them the most like the arts, music, drama. But when one feels very sad, it really helps to talk to someone. It's as if a weight has been lifted off your chest.

Even at the peak of her career, big celebrity BC had her share of melancholy moments. One may think that it could be caused by too much stress brought about by her huge status and other personal factors. Often, BC would just stare blankly into space amidst all the noise and klieglights around.

Those episodes never left her. In fact such even escalated as she matured and had bigger responsibilities and issues to face. But each time, she had a favorite “go to” person - this happens to be a very good-looking fellow actor FA. Allegedly, everytime BC felt extreme sadness, she would long for FA to talk and unload her sentiments to, and within just minutes with him even on the phone, BS would feel a sudden high, a lift of energy that she needed at that point. Yes, FA seemed to have that healing power over her.

To this day, BC who has become more distressed and uncertain with her life and career, allegedly, it is still FA whom she seeks and talks to. Whether it is pure friendship that binds them both, no one can tell. All we know is that BC had long wanted that they do a movie together. Yet, for one reason or another – it never happened.

“What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life? … to strengthen each other…to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” ~ George Eliot

Letter from a Reader: Cofradia is Racist


Dear Fashion PULIS:

I have been recently introduced to your blog and enjoy your fun way of writing immensely, especially the quotes at the end of every article. Anyways, I am furnishing you a copy of a letter I sent to MTRCB regarding my gripe about ABS-CBN's sorry excuse for a new soap 'Cofradia', hoping that you might perhaps help me proliferate it by publishing it on your blog and help start a healthy dialogue.

This is the letter I sent to MTRCB to lodge my complaint against the planned made-for-TV revival of the movie Cofradia. Please share.


Mabuhay!

My name is Noa Herrera, a Filipino citizen currently residing in Honolulu, HI. I am writing you this letter to express my concern and strong indignation over ABS-CBN’s plan to revive the movie ‘Cofradia’ for television as has been widely reported and discussed in social media. Now as I recall, the original movie and its subsequent revivals’ plot centered around a girl who was heavily frowned upon and lived a recluse all her life because of her ‘black skin’. She then becomes ‘beautiful’ upon the discovery of a magical candle that transforms her black skin into white when it is lit. This line of thinking is awfully Neandarthal, outdated and racist beyond salvation. I cannot even begin to describe how much it offends me. Not only will it not be sending the greatest of messages to Filipino children and to the Filipino population at large, but it will also only rub salt to the wound in a culture that already suffers from a senseless but widespread obsession with whiteness and fair skin. ABS-CBN is the country’s largest network and will most likely air this abominable piece of ‘work’ on their global arm TFC. It will be an embarrassment for Filipinos the world over. I am incensed by this prospect and so should every Filipino who is capable of thought. I am vehement in my indignation and will do everything I can to bring as much attention to this matter until it is rectified. But for now, I am leaving it to your noble office and the capable heads that occupy it to discuss, decide and hopefully take the appropriate action.

Yours Very Respectfully,
Noa Herrera

Jolting Photos of Young Performer


Image courtesy of Fashion PULIS reader

Young performer YP has been around for some time, but unfortunately, he has yet to prove himself as far as career achievements are concerned. When he was launched, there were big expectations that YP would make the cut. And why not? YP could sing, act, and dance - the works. He had a unique style, and even a signature hairstyle. He had a home network, and a loveteam that had loyal followers. However, as the years passed, YP gained considerable weight, altered his hairstyle, and the other half of his loveteam moved on to try other projects and onscreen partners. 

What went wrong? Apart from attitude and talent, success in showbiz rests largely on the skills and maneuvering of one's talent manager. A good manager knows how to package and sell his talent, has a real grasp of the competition and has a good relationship with the "buyers" of his talent/s i.e casting directors, producers, directors, etc. A nobody can make a big turnaround in no time through a clever strategizing by its manager. 

The discoverer-manager (TD) of YP has taken it upon himself to be too protective of YP. Although TD is already an institution in the industry, everyone knows that his management style leaves a lot to be desired.

TD can be didactic, and it was obvious that YP must have been brainwashed by the “wisdom” of TD. How would TD react when he sees that his beloved YP has these photos doing the rounds online? Although these photos might not be as “scandalous,” they do show TD in a very suggestive pose sharing a bed with a non-showbiz female.

Jumping at the Chance

Image courtesy of www.dezignus.com

Is committed actor CA playing a cat and mouse game? CA was spotted with a female fashion designer FD at an event. No big deal, as one would say. But not when CA and FD were kissing passionately in public! Guests who saw them felt so scandalized and shocked at the spectacle. CA has a well-publicized relationship with a pretty girlfriend GF. The kiss was allegedly quite torrid and scandalously long to merit glaring stares from guests.

This event coincided with a major showbiz function in which CA was expected to attend. CA obviously chose this non-showbiz event to be with his other pals than with GF and his fans. Incidentally, GF was at the said function, where she was rumored to have given the cold treatment to another celebrity.

These many sightings and public behavior of CA are quite disturbing. One moment, he does something chivalric for GF, then after a few weeks, he plays around while she’s away. How could have GF reacted had she known that CA was busy with something else as she was receiving her award? How long can GF put up a happy front amidst CA's shameless philandering?

Maybe it's about time to get herself ready for a face-off and stop playing the role of a victim-girlfriend. That circle over her head ought to be pulled down long ago.

A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship. –Rainer Maria Rilke

Her Breaking Point

Image courtesy of www.oldspouse.wordpress.com 

Pretty actress PA might be smiling from ear to ear being very happy and contented on the love front with actor boyfriend AB. But her smiles seem exclusive only to her love life and do not at all extend to her career at the moment.

PA has been in showbiz industry for many years, has portrayed a wide range of characters on television and movies. For the most part, she has earned the right to be called professional in her league, while also earning the respect of her fellow actors. For years, she was never lacking in projects that showcased not just her acting ability but also her innate beauty.

But the past several months, PA is bothered that she hasn’t been given projects by her management for the longest time. She has been clueless for long and intimated to friends her plight. For this year, there was nothing except a forthcoming movie that she cannot even call her own because she is just one among many in the cast.

Her last movie with a veteran actor made good at the tills. However, a follow-up tv project bombed at the rating though no fault of her own. On the other hand, AB is deluged with so many offers that’s been keeping him very busy. His movies and tv projects have been doing good, so far.

Is PA feeling a hint of jealousy or insecurity at this point? Or the pinch of not having enough to get by? Until when will her management hear her plea? Has her alleged benefactor totally forgotten her, or is she still into her? If so, why is she ever wanting?
