An Unexpected Miser

Christmas is the time for giving and sharing. For most people, this time is most anticipated because bosses are expected to be generous and hearts are supposed to be kinder. Thus, expectations are high that those who are at an economic advantage will share their blessing to those who are not.

In showbiz, stories of generous and thoughtful celebrities are played up to the point that charity events come up as mere publicity gimmicks for some stars. While others sincerely devote time and money, the coverage lessens the impact as some sectors question the sincerity. Their point is that giving should be done without the whole world having to see such actions.

Meanwhile, the other side of the season is balanced by celebrities who limit what they actually share, that is, if they share their blessings at all. Surprisingly, Busy Actress (BA) belongs to the roster of celebrities who have had a good productive year and yet do not bother to share a bit of their blessings. Since BA scored a major hit a few months ago, cornered several endorsements, and opened a business, people expected her to be generous this year. After all, she should be a bit more relaxed in terms of finances this year. Thus, when someone approached her and asked if she would be giving out bonuses, BA shockingly said that she would not be doing such and even hinted that everyone should practice austerity measures.

Although BA could argue that it is her money and she has every right to spend it, others view her non-action as selfish and inconsiderate. While she did work hard for her earnings, her staff has always been there for her and has helped in making her look good and organizing her life. Still, people will dismiss the attitude of BA as that of someone who has become cautious ever since she almost lost all her hard-earned money to a staff member some time ago.

Nonetheless, sincere generosity is welcome not just for this season, but for the rest of the year. Who knows, BA might rethink her decision and see the light that generosity begets generosity, which is better than having to deal with bad karma repeatedly.

Due to typhoon Nona, Albert Andrada was not able to board his flight to the USA last Tuesday. Albert was supposed to bring two evening gowns for Pia to choose from for the Miss Universe 2015 preliminary event. To save the day, Pia's mentor, Jonas Gaffud, went to his back-up plan and contacted Los Angeles-based Filipino designer, Oliver Tolentino, who was already vacationing in Aspen. Tolentino immediately instructed his staff to rush several gowns to Las Vegas after receiving the news.

Hopefully, if Pia makes it to the final round, she will be wearing an Albert Andrada evening gown. Good luck, Pia!
