Maine isinakripisyo ang kasikatan para naman sa sariling kaligayahan

MAINE MENDOZA AT ALDEN RICHARDS

THE following is a postscript to last week’s biggest, if not most shocking showbiz news: ang pagkahaba-habang blog emote ni Maine Mendoza.

Like a book, ang kalat-kalat at paulit-ulit niyang pasintabi served as a foreword giving her readers an idea of her blog entry’s tone and texture.

Maine—bukod pala sa kanyang talent in dubsmash—has a hidden literary gift (save for a few lapses na puwede nang palampasin); her choice of words, pricking pero may puso.

‘Yun ang kagandahan ng isang first person account, only Maine and she alone has the right to question its accuracy.

Nakikita namin sa pagitan ng kanyang mga linya ang isang tao who allowed herself to be dictated upon, was left with no other choice kundi sundin ang kagustuhan ng ibang taong nakapaligid sa kanya much to her rebellious stance.

Pero may hangganan ‘yon, the moment of reawakening—like anyone who woke up from an ugly nightmare—has come.

All along, Maine—armed with prescience—knew exactly what was going to happen next, pero hindi niya inalintana ‘yon even if it meant seeing her flourishing career take a dip, or her fans disappear, or return to her obscure world.

Hindi lahat ng mga artistang sikat are just as willing to risk even a tiny ounce of their fame and success.

Manapa, they all want to retire from the business taglay pa rin ang katanyagan at tagumpay na ‘yon.

Maine owes her confession to herself. It’s about time she thought about herself, her feelings, and whatever (or whoever) na tunay na makapagpapaligaya sa kanya.

Alam ni Maine—as expected—na pupuntiryahin siya ng mga fans-turned-bashers for taking them for a joyride. Pero kung hindi siya nagpakatotoo, Maine would never have liberated herself.

It was Maine who bailed herself out. Kapwa na sila “parolado” ni Alden Richards, they can now live normal lives now.

Nailatag na ni Maine ang kanyang sarili, having done her part ay wala na ang bola sa kanyang mga kamay. The ball is now in the hands of her fans kung susuportahan pa ba nila si Maine o hindi na. But either way, Maine couldn’t care less.

Ang importante, Maine has found her lost self.

Patuloy ang pagse-share ng blessings ng mga kinukuhang celebrity players ng Celebrity Bluff with people either related to them by blood or tapat pa ring naglilingkod sa kanila hanggang ngayon.

Ang magkakapares na maglalaro for the half-a-million-peso jackpot prize mamayang gabi ay si Winwyn Marquez fresh from her victory in Ms. Reina Hispanoamericana with her personal assistant, si Angelu de Leon kasama rin ang kanyang longtime PA at si Martin del Rosario kakampi ang kanyang yaya of 17 years.

Ikalawang bahagi na ito ng serye ng pre-Christmas treat ng nasabing comedy game show kung saan ang magsisilbing bluffers ay sina Edu Manzano, Boobay at Jennylyn Mercado, herself a caring employer to her PA. Si Boobsie naman ang tatayong gimmick guest.

Since sharing ang peg ng CB, mas maganda rin yatang tingnan ang konkretong pagsasabuhay ng kasabihang, “Charity begins at home,” why not air a special episode kung saan tables are turned, ang mga bluffers naman this time ang magbabahagi sa kanilang mga kaanak o kasambahay na ang katapatan sa kanila’y marapat lang gantimpalaan?

Fact na fact na ‘yon!
