Chubi del Rosario at Anne Curtis
NAAALALA n’yo pa ba si Chubi del Rosario? I’m sure tandang-tanda pa siya ng mga batang 90s bilang ka-loveteam ni Anne Curtis.
Unang nakilala at sumikat si Chubi sa dating youth-oriented show ng GMA 7 na “T.G.I.S.” na pinagbidahan nina Bobby Andrews, Angelu de Leon, Michael Flores, Raven Villanueva, Red Sternberg, Dingdong Dantes, Antoinette Taus, Sunshine Dizon at Anne Curtis.
In fairness, marami ring naging fans ang tambalan nina Chub at Anne kaya naman binigyan pa sila ng ibang shows bukod sa “T.G.I.S”, kabilang na nga riyan ang mga seryeng “Anna Karenina” at “Ikaw Na Sana.
Nagtambal din sila sa mga pelikulang “Ikaw Lamang” at “Honey My Love So Sweet.” Taong 2003 nang mapasama sila sa napakalaking serye ng GMA na “Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw Pa Rin” kasam sina Christopher de Leon, Alice Dixson at Richard Gomez.
Pagkatapos nito, nawala na sa eksena si Chubi at hindi na nga lumabas sa TV at pelikula. At makalipas ang 15 taon, muling nagparamdam ang dating aktor na ngayon ay isa nang “holistic confidence coach.”
Inamin ni Chubi sa panayam ng ANCX na naging alcoholic siya noong mawala sa showbiz, talagang halos araw-araw daw siyang umiinom noon na parang wala nang bukas.
Kuwento ng binata, noong mag-quit siya sa showbiz parang bumalik siya sa kanyang “normal life” pero nang tumagal na raw, “I felt my confidence kind of went down, because I was used to performing in front of crowds, then all of a sudden, it’s just me.”
Patuloy pa ng 38-years-old na dating aktor, “When I started understanding the Law of Attraction, I began to realize that I have to start fixing this inner me.”
Kasunod nito, natuto na rin siyang mag-yoga na isa sa mga nakatulong sa kanya para talikuran ang pag-inom, “A lot of my years in showbiz, I was drinking a lot. I was in showbiz from age nine to 24. Starting at the age of 13, I was already drinking.”
Pag-amin pa niya, “I remember my mom was so concerned about me. She’s like, ‘Chubi, you’re drinking almost every night.’ I was drinking four to five times a week. Minsan umiinom lang ako mag-isa sa bahay.
“Meron akong isang long neck ng brandy tapos manonood lang ako ng ‘Oprah,’ iinumin ko yun until like 7 a.m. On other days, I would have drinks with friends. I would join beer-drinking competitions,” aniya pa.
“As you hit these low points in life, that’s kind of when you see the light. Nakita ko, ‘Eto na naman ako, may hangover na naman ako. Ilang beses na naman ako uminom this week.’
“Having experienced drinking so much, I realized that I had to get myself out of it. For some people, it can be challenging to get out of rock bottom. But for me, I just knew that there was something more for me out there. There was a calling for me,” dagdag pa ni Chubi.
Hanggang sa, “I got into yoga and eventually became a yoga teacher. I got into Zen. I did meditation to clear the mind off these inner demons. I attended Vipassana—that’s 10 days of intense meditation, walang nagsasalita, which is a very, very interesting experience.”
“I’m at a point in my life now where I would say I found myself already. I have explored so much in life. I’ve gone thru a lot of the hardships. A lot of those picking-myself-up moments.
“I’m at a point where I’ve started to flourish internally—emotionally, mentally, spiritually,” patuloy pang paglalahad ng dating ka-loveteam ni Anne.
Mensahe pa niya sa lahat ng may mga pinagdaraanan sa buhay, “In recent events, we saw that literally anything can happen in a snap. You can lose money, fame, fortune. And so, what is the one thing that can’t be taken away from you? It’s that self-belief, that self-value that you give yourself.”
“You just need to know that you’re capable and willing to put in the work required for success. Inner strength is powerful, it allows us to look at our lives honestly and make changes when necessary so we can live our best lives possible!” aniya pa.
