Lacking Niceties, But Longing for His Robustness

Make-up does wonders to everyone’s face, much like what a good photoshop does to pictures. Unlike how it was years ago, it now takes less to look pleasant and improve one’s looks. If you are a celebrity or a model, it is your job to look good and beautiful because you owe it to your audience who patronize you.

Teleserye Star TS is relatively young, yet her network has entrusted her with challenging roles that tested her mettle as an actress. TS is lucky that inspite of her plain looks and mediocre talent, she has managed to bag good projects amidst a sea of lovelier and more talented colleagues. But observers remark that with all her blessings, TS should at least strive to look better. But above all – TS should learn how to be humane first.

Most times, some co-actors can’t help but cringe at the way TS treats her personal assistant PA. Like she throws her belongings at PA at the slightest provocation even in front of people. It was just too much for others who have witnessed several times how TS blows her top at PA. Certainly, shouting is not the way to make PA do better and follow her commands. Observers remarked that TS behaves as if to show others what power she has over her poor PA.

PA sympathizers take the cudgels for her ‘though. Rightly or wrongly, they lambast TS for her appearance. They figured that with the money that TS has, and her excessive self-obsession why is it that TS is not doing anything, like a make-over at the very least?

Many times, they notice how make-up can’t seem to make TS beautiful. Her critics remarked that with all the whitening and beauty products available in the market, TS’ skin takes a lot to be desired – dark elbows, knees, rough skin, etc. They figure that if TS will consider a make-over of her physical flaws, as well as that of her decorum, then perhaps her persistent flirting with talented and Well-mannered Actor WA would have hopes of being returned.

Oh, TS may be barking at the wrong tree, after all. Reliable information yields that WA is so taken and in love with exotic actress. Uh oh…

Ex-Couple Carmina Villaroel, BB Gandanghari Spotted in Kathryn Bernardo's Debut

All eyes were on former couple Carmina Villaroel and Rustom Padilla, who is now more known as BB Gandanghari after he came out of the closet in 2006, during the birthday celebration of Kathryn Bernardo on Saturday which they both attended.

Villaroel was Bernardo’s co-star in the hit series “Got to Believe” while Gandanghari is the uncle of Daniel Padilla, Bernardo’s leading man.

But Villaroel admitted on “Buzz ng Bayan” Sunday that they did not get the chance to talk.

“Alam ko lang na nandoon siya kasi nauna kaming dumating. So nung dumating sila, 'yung Padilla family, alam ko na. Nakita ko na sila from afar. Hindi kami nagkakitaan. Nakita ko lang na dumating siya kasama sila Robin and sila Mariel (Rodriguez),” she said.

Admitting that she was anxious the entire time, Villaroel said she felt people were watching them carefully to see if they would greet each other.

“Naupo na ako sa table namin. Guess what? [Magkatabi ang table namin],” she said. “Na-feel ko 'yung mga mata nila nasa amin. Bawat galaw ko tinitignan kung magbabatian ba kami or anong mangyayari.”

“Basta kasama ko si Zoren and 'yung kambal. Basta naupo na lang ako and nate-tense talaga ako. Kunyari wala lang, naka-smile lang ako to death. Kasi kapag ninenerbyos ako, naka-smile lang ako,” she added.

According to Villaroel, it’s probably not yet time for them to face each other.

“Bilang respeto din kay Kathryn dahil debut niya, ayaw ko naman mag-create ng [scene]... Hindi kami nagkita. Siguro baka hindi pa oras,” she said.

Just like what she said in the past, Villaroel is hoping that when the time comes for her and Gandanghari to talk to each other, it would be just the two of them with no cameras.

“Kasi maliit lang ang mundo natin, magkikita at magkikita talaga kami. Sana walang camera muna. For now, hi BB. Dito na lang muna kami sa TV,” she said.

Villaroel and Gandanghari tied the knot in 1994, but separated in 1996. Their marriage was annulled in 2002.

Poll: Did Sen. Sonny Angara Ruin Pia Wurtzbach’s Chances at Bb. Pilipinas?

Did Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara’s question affect Pia Wurtzbach’s chances at Bb. Pilipinas?

Netizens think it did.

The names of both the senator and the actress-turned-beauty queen occasionally trended on Twitter on Monday, with pageant fans weighing in on the controversy.

Many believed Angara’s decision to ask in Filipino threw off Wurtzbach, who hails from Cagayan de Oro and lived in England.

“Ano yung pinakamagandang leksyon na maituturo ng isang babae sa buong mundo (What is the most important lesson that a woman can tell the world)?” Angara, who was among the competition judges, asked.

Wurtzbach answered, “Ang isang leksyon na maituturo ng babae sa buong mundo ay yung tiwala sa kanyang sarili. Yung intuition po na tinatawag natin. Kapag meron ka pong intuition alam mo sa sarili mo kung saan mo ilulugar yung sarili mo sa mundo. Kahit na hindi ka sigurado sa nararamdaman mo o sa naiisip mo pero kung alam mo sa intuition mo, then magiging successful ka sa kahit anong gawin mo sa buhay mo.”

(The lesson that a woman may impart to the world is having trust in herself. What you call intuition. If you have intuition you will be able to find your place in the world. Even if you are not sure with what you feel or think, if you are intuitive, then you will become successful in whatever you do in your life.)

Before giving his question, Angara asked Wurtzbach, “Okay lang ba Tagalog (Can I ask it in Tagalog)?”

“Opo, pwede ko ring sagutin ng Tagalog kung gusto nyo po (Yes, I can also answer it in Tagalog if you want.),” the contestant answered.

The 24-year old did not win any crown during the Bb. Pilipinas pageant but bagged special awards from the contest sponsors. She received the She’s So Jag Award and was hailed Miss Philippines Airlines.

Fans of the actress, who is a former talent of ABS-CBN’s Star Magic, said it was Angara’s fault why Wurtzbach didn’t place in the competition. Meanwhile, others defended the senator, saying he shouldn’t be the one to blame.

Even the Instagram accounts of both Angara and Wurtzbach received unsolicited comments from netizens.

Nevertheless, the actress, posted on Instagram, “Grateful that I was able to experience what it’s like to be a part of the pageant world. When I placed 1st runner up last year, I gave all my time, effort & love to my job. I had so much fun! I just tried again because I wanted to know of this was really meant for me. But how do you know if you don’t take chances, right?”

“I’m glad I made it this far. No doubt that I learned so much from it. I’m a better person now than I was a year ago. Thank you to my mentors from Aces & Queens for teaching me everything I know & transforming me! & to my supporters for pushing me & encouraging me. Thank you!!! Time to turn the page & move on to a new chapter!” she added.

Wurtzbach, known by her screen name Pia Romero, was born in Stuttgart, Germany but raised in the Philippines before spending several years in England. She was the sole runner up in last year’s Binibining Pilipinas competition.
