So good of my buddy Marc Leviste and his household to ship me flowers for Valentine’s Day. Once I messaged Marc to thank him, he replied, “Could utang pa kaming Christmas present as a result of I needed to hold extending my keep in LA to be with Kris [Aquino] final vacation season. I’m truly again in LA now for her birthday and newest medical situation.”
So, plainly Kris Aquino and Marc are again collectively after their nth split-up. Final November, Kris wished to concentrate on her well being points so she broke up with Marc. Previous to that, there was a time Kris mentioned she minimize offcommunication with Marc so he may consider his constituents in Batangas the place he’s vice governor. Their standing is kind of complicated.
In Tito Boy Abunda’s reside Zoom interview with Kris on “Quick Speak with Boy Abunda,” she revealed how precarious her autoimmune situation has grow to be. Since Kris was very near my late mother (Inday Badiday) and is the ninang of my son IC, I really feel for her. Whether or not Marc is a big different or only a buddy to Kris, hopefully his presence would function her panacea.
Takeaway from movie star breakups
There appears to be a love curse within the biz with all of the breakups of movie star {couples} recently. Pack up, change casting. As an insider, let me share my takeaway from the estrangement insanity. That even when KathNiel, KimXi, Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque didn’t have a contented ending, what that they had was nonetheless a love story. (The alleged cut up of Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati or Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano stays a guessing recreation.)
Love will not be love till there’s cash concerned.
Fame may get in the best way of the connection of a pair, even when they insist that there isn’t a skilled rivalry.
Maybe it’s extra ideally suited for an actor to fall for somebody who’s not within the biz so he/she will hold him/her grounded.
The love anthem “Maging Sino Ka Man” doesn’t maintain true on a regular basis.
Full emotional funding and full monetary funding don’t at all times are available in one bundle.
As my mother used to say, “Magazine-ingat sa taong ‘di mo kilala, pero lalong mag-ingat sa taong kilala mo na.”
Since they’re below public scrutiny, inside issues of movie star {couples} are aggravated by exterior elements.
Staying devoted within the biz, the place temptation lurks at each nook, is kind of a tough factor.
Azi Acosta —VIVAMAX
Cosplaying pals with advantages
We can not change folks. We are able to solely unmask them. That might very effectively be the tagline of “Pantasya ni Tami” (now streaming on Vivamax). It’s a couple of love triangle within the intriguing world of cosplay. Topbilled by Azi Acosta, Jiad Arroyo and Ali Asistio, it’s directed by Topel Lee and Simple Ferrer.
Tami’s (Azi) antidote to her loneliness is cosplaying. To keep up her pricey passion, Tami heeds the recommendation of Ken (Jiad), a fellow cosplayer and photographer, to promote gravure pictures of herself. Ultimately, they grow to be pals with advantages. Then, she meets considered one of her followers, Gelo (Ali), and so they fall for one another. And Tami finds herself torn between lust and love. Will or not it’s recreation over for the cosplayer?
Listed below are quotes from Azi (A) and Simple (E):
A: A “pals with advantages” setup is a no-no for me. Making love will not be the identical as simply having intercourse.
E: I’ve at all times been drawn to the dynamic world of cosplayers. Our movie humanizes them. It exhibits that behind their masks and costumes, in addition they have wants and struggles.
A: In actual life, I’ll select a man just like the character Gelo in our film. That’s as a result of he noticed beneath Tami’s bodily look and accepted her for who she actually is past her cosplaying.
E: Azi is a child-woman. Beneath her innocence, there’s sultriness. That’s why she’s excellent for the position of a cosplayer. She appears like a Japanese doll.
A: Earlier than I joined present biz, I attempted cosplaying. I’m in awe of how passionate cosplayers are. They actually put money into their costumes and hold reinventing themselves.
E: It was a problem to proceed what Topel began. I needed to align together with his imaginative and prescient and likewise incorporate my very own. It was not simple capturing the love scenes of actors who had been in heavy costumes. To not point out the battle scenes à la anime.
