Another Mindless Remark
Image courtesy of www.mindlesselectrorock.blogspot.com
In an event, several personalities from different networks gamely posed for a photograph, which was a rare achievement. Soon, netizens had different reactions upon seeing the photo. Overall, the photograph got positive responses as it showed that the top personalities of the rival networks can be one for the honor of the country.
Uh oh. The smiles, however, do not tell the reactions that happened after this meeting. Overheard was one female personality (OF1) saying that she feels the other female personality (OF2) was just being plastic towards them. Could this statement be just a candid remark or one that is loaded with meaning?
While both have gained their reputation for their fiery words, reactions, and honest statements, OF1 still has a long way to go to strengthen her foothold in the business, whereas the best and the worst personal stories and intrigues have tested and forged OF2. If OF1 meant something with her statement, it does place them in an awkward situation as one of her close relations has done several projects with OF2. OF1 should learn to hold her tongue in her certain cases as she has no idea who could be listening to her after thoughts, which might land her in hot water.
Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite. - Charles Spurgeon

Irritating and Annoying

This Has-been Comedian HC sometimes gets hired as a wedding host. To be fair, HC is a funny and entertaining host. In the eyes of his audience, he is good enough. But only very few know how a bitch HC is backstage. Too often, he wants a diva treatment, even in simple weddings, even if the groom/bride is his friend. HC is reportedly a coordinator's headache, making demands as if he is a big star. Others say that it is for such reason why HC has no career at all.
An Events Coordinator EC got instruction from a client to coordinate with HC whom the client hired to host his wedding. EC introduced herself to HC and confirmed the event. A week after, EC called HC again and asked for his email address. HC said that he will text message EC for his email, but he never did. EC was not that bothered as she assumed that HC was a professional host, and even surmised that he was an expert wedding host. But few days after, EC was surprised by a call from HC ranting, asking why she was not coordinating with him.
EC kept her cool and even assured HC not to worry as there was a program or guide that she was going to send him and it was a very simple, no brainer wedding program. But only after he ranted did he himself cooperated and give his email address to EC. That is how HC conducts himself.
At another time, HC was a host again at one of EC's events where he came in late, and again EC didn’t make it an issue. But what got her was that HC brought with him 2 "alalays" which he didn’t confirm with EC beforehand. At the event, HC wanted a VIP treatment again and asked for a talent coordinator, meaning someone who would attend to his every whim – or to be more accurate, demand.
EC and her team were so flabbergasted at the shamelessness of this guy who did not have any iota of the basic proprieties of his profession. He was even asking for a full dinner for him and his alalays ahead of everybody even when the wedding had not started yet.
That feeling of celebrity entitlement baffles most event coordinators, more so if the one asking for it has long lost his shine, or in other words, a has-been. Such is CH's character and reputation, which is why even his friends have no sympathy for him and do not hire him to host their parties and events.

‘The Gates of Hell’ and Other Quotable Quotes from 2013

Source: www.gmanetwork.com
Compressed into a single line of dialogue, three of our choices for quotes of the year can comprise a classic catty put-down in a movie.
Maybe it's because the three different individuals who uttered them – a show host, the President, an actress – were all in apparent fits of pique, for totally different reasons.
Irritation is a common emotion behind some of our quotable quotes of 2013. Others were just clinical but telling declarations of fact, such as Erap's sobering reminder to the public that he is the first ex-convict to become mayor of Manila.
The news media used to be the main arbiter for the quotes that capture the spirit of our times, but no longer in the age of social media. Many of these quotes first found traction on Twitter and Facebook, which put a premium on short bursts of text that can be instantly shared. YouTube enables memorable utterances to be watched ad nauseam even before the news media catches on.
One may wonder why Sen. Miriam Santiago did not make the cut, as she is, of course, always quotable. With her outrageous verbalisms, the queen of one-liners seems consciously aiming to be included in year-end lists like this. We decided to leave her off our list this year, to give others a chance.

She Recycled Carelessly
Image courtesy of www.residentadvisor.net
Holiday season ushers in what seems like endless parties and gift-giving.Gift giving is an integral part of the season, but preparing these gifts can become tedious, just figuring out what presents to give – not to mention the cost that goes with each gift. Certainly, it is hard to scrimp on gifts, as we also do not want to receive gifts that have not been even thought of or worse, getting badly recycled ones.
Recycling gifts and why some people justify their doing it have become a sensitive issue. Others believe that it is practical and harmless, as long as done with extreme caution and sensitivity. While others often do it on purpose in order to save time and money, it is – again – not a license to mindlessly execute it.
As in any typical organization, friendships do not necessarily end when you are physically separated by your workplace. Former colleagues have remained friends in spite of the other having left their common network. As with some of her previous workmates, Media Personality MP continues to be in touch with her Former Colleague FC, who has been very successful on her own.
This holiday season, MP gave out gifts to friends and colleagues in and out of her network. Unfortunately, she may have overlooked the rules on gift-giving – as in recycled gift-giving. MP, just like some of us may have received gifts she finds are worth giving away, too. As I have said, recycling is okay as long as one is circumspect and rules are observed. MP did recycle some stuff, and to her misfortune, one of her gift recipients was FC, who was shocked to have received back the gift she gave to MP.
Turned out, MP recycled her cakes, chocolates, crinkles, and other food items - had them repacked, rewrapped and even prettified with ribbons and cards – but totally forgot to scrutinize the most important details. The gourmet cake that was given to her by FC was custom-made by her friend for her (FC) alone, it even had her initials in the package. With it landing back on her lap was indeed MP's major faux pas!
“Gift giving is a true art. Anything less is a symptom of varying degrees, on your part, of ignorance, distance, or insult. ~ Vera Nazarian
