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!

Heeding the Call of the Times
Take the case of this Sweet Actress (SA). When SA was launched into the business, the public adored her as she was articulate and a looker. She had both feet planted on the ground despite her family background. Besides, SA was the epitome of the ideal daughter, who followed her parents at the expense of her lovelife, among others. However, SA was just in her teens when she started and finishing high school was set aside.
After some years in the business, SA’s career is stable. She has undergone several trials, such managerial problems, verbal tussles with co-actors, breakups, and even family conflicts, which all happened in the eyes of the public. While she has a respectable set of followers and is a recognized household name, SA never reached that peak of stardom where fans swoon at her presence. Despite this state, SA is still a respected talent. Finally, SA has given in to another pressure – the pressure of going back to school.
Apparently, SA reviewed, prepared, and passed the accreditation test to make her eligible for college without having to go back to high school. Was this decision her own or was this influenced by her current relationship? Her decision would certainly silence her critics who fuss about her lack of formal education. Besides, having a college degree would give her the edge over her contemporaries and would make her fit better in the circle of her current partner. Moreover, she can escape words like “Artista lang yan!” (She’s just an actress!).
“Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.” ― Aristotle

This was the reaction of Charice’s mom, Raquel Pempengco, after the singer, in a recent appearance on the morning program “Kris TV,” expressed through a song that she wants to reconcile with her family.
In an exclusive interview with “Buzz ng Bayan” that aired on Sunday, Pempengco said she knows her daughter is just putting on a show.
“Hindi ako naniniwala. Hindi na ako naniniwala kung ngayon lang. Pero kung ang Charice dati ang nagsabi nun, malamang umiiyak na ako nun,” she said.
Pempengco said she was not able to see the “Kris TV” episode but she learned about it from one of their store’s customers.
“Kasi minsan nasa cash register ako. Sabi niya ‘Mommy kinantahan ka ni Charice ah.’ Sabi ko ‘Ah hayaan mo siya kumanta.’ Dinadaan ko siya sa biro. Nandito lang kami, makikipagplastikan pa ba kami? Ang lapit lang namin para idaan pa sa ganun,” she said.
“Kilala ko si Charice. May e-mail. Alam niya ang number ko. Huwag na niyang gawing showbiz pa ang buhay namin,” she added.
Contrary to rumors, Pempengco stressed she has already accepted the sexual preference of her daughter long before she admitted it in public.
She said the only thing she can’t accept is Charice’s relationship with Alyssa Quijano. “Ayaw ko kay Alyssa. Natatawa lang ako kapag nakakarinig ng kasal between parehong babae,” she said.
Meanwhile, Pemgpengco showed no sign of sadness that she and Charice will spend Christmas apart.
“Sanay na rin naman ako na ilang taon na wala siya kapag Pasko. Mula nung 2010 na hindi na magkakasama ng Pasko at Bagong Taon,” she said.
“Buzz ng Bayan” tried to get a reaction from Charice but the singer has opted to keep mum about her mother’s statements.

Alcohol is Their Common Love
Image courtesy of www.talktofrank.com
Such are only some of the advantages of moderate drinking. On the other hand, if you allow alcohol to consume you, that is where trouble starts. There is no excuse for a habitual bad drinker. More often, a drunkard doesn’t get the respect from people, is hardly trusted and taken seriously.
Awarded Actor AA and his Pretty Girlfriend PG often drink together and sometimes go clubbing with friends where both often drink more than they can handle. Those privy with the couple know that these things always happen. In the beginning, it was just AA who was into heavy alcohol. But alas, after being with AA for quite a while, GF has since taken into heavy drinking as well.
After one of their drinking nights, AA brought PG to her home. PG got off the car and was pissed that the maids failed to open the gate for her. Drunk and impatient, she threw a wine bottle at the gate while shouting at her helpers. Neighbors at the exclusive village were awakened and scandalized by PG's actions.
AA, who was drunk, as usual, tried to pacify PG and climbed the fence to open the gate. All this time, AA and PG were creating so much noise already just talking to each other. It was only when the gate finally opened and PG entered that the neighbors heaved a sigh of relief.
