Goss Time

I was stired by the tag made by Dangkin, where she usually visits the inq website to read news back home.. because.. because, I don't do it anymore. I did in my first few months here, but now? Very seldom if not at all. Well, I have excuses, you know. First, I only read the showbiz and lifestyle section of the page so no use of toiling too much to sneak on to the site - even when I was in the Philippines, I just read goss :D. Second, major events like the Ultra stampede, Mayo Volcano eruption and the 2007 elections were broadcasted here in most telly channels and there's this channel that aired Filipino news almost every day for 30 minutes (which I always miss because it is in early morning), if you miss Tagalog.

But, I did visit inq site that same day I did the tag... and guess what I read first? Well, apart from the headline which was about the man doing furniture work like chairs for schools - getting ready for the opening of the class, I clicked on the breaking news about Ogie Alcasid. It said something like "Ogie was so touched of his gf's proclaimation of her love for him". I am not up-to-date of the showbiz whereabouts back home so I thought, it was some sort of a movie promotion bombshell. But, oh my! I was sort of like shocked when I read that it was Regine Velasquez and the relationship that they've been shielding for 4 years. The whole gossip about their relationship looks like fading already as I didn't see any follow-up article anymore.

Oh well, what can I say? Good on them for having the guts to spell-out their love for each other despite the fact that Michelle is still in the background, or is she still? Their marriage might already be annulled - I completely have no idea. But Ogie kept on saying in the article that he and Michelle are friends and have a very good relationship. They might have an amicable settlement. :D

Pero nanghihinayang talaga ako! I feel the same for all marriages that didn't work out except for those with compelling reasons like domestic violence or severe unfaithfulness of either party.


News such as this gave you mixed emotions. You might be happy for the two that find their way and love for each other and on the other hand sad, there's this broken marriage, the welfare and future of the kids to consider and how about the wife? I feel lost myself.

Hay! *malalim na buntong-hininga*
