Yesterday was not quite right for me. Long bath somehow helped. I turned off my Mac to restrain myself from working. Then I turned on the television…
There was American Idol… almost done…
Wild Sex of Killer Whales on National Geographic Channel… not in the mood…
Xmen:Evolution on Cartoon Network… cool…
Then I remembered one of my housemates told me tonight is the revelation night for this known Filipino actor before, Rustom Padilla in Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition. I flipped channels then there it was… just in time.
There were other scenes. But the revelation was placed on the latter part of course ––style to get the ratings up obviously.
An introduction to the “aspired” revelation: This Rustom guy is quite good-looking during his time in Philippine show business. He got to married a pretty known actress too named Carmina Villaroel. They seemed to hit it off, until rumors spread and homosexuality seemed to be starting to “flourish” then. Until annulment case was file for the two and years of battling, Carmina got what she wanted. Now she’s living with Zoren Legaspi, another actor and had twins from him. Two good-looking children, one girl and one boy. Ahhh… fairy tale story? Or just a combination of good sets of DNA?
So, what had happened to Rustom when Carmina now had gone back to showbiz somehow and seemd to be happy with her 2 kids? Rustom suddenly disappeared and his family, even his much controvertial actor star-womanizer brother turned to Muslim that was once linked to the daughter of an ex-president of the Philippine republic (whew! That was mouthful) All these was answered somehow in his revelation
Enough of the introduction and on with me… of course this is my blog. That revelation of Rustom was just merely a confirmation on my part. I have been surrounded by gay people of “all shapes and sizes” ––quoting him. Seeing him years back, after the alleged annulment, I knew way back then he’s gay. But as a human and a fag hag I share my sentiments to Rustom. His hardships and being in closet from the public eye he used to be comfortable with was now revealed. His 30+ years of hiding is opened up in just less than 30 minutes. And all revelations started when a mariposa, a huge local specie of the Philippine butterfly, landed on Rustom's legs.
Good for him. But it just didn’t stop there… it’s a start. Just the start.
But what made my day was Keana Reeves, one of Rustom’s housemates in the show. She one the one Rustom is talking to and was said to be close to him. In the middle of the revelation, where Rustom is teary-eyed and assuming the tele-viewers also, Keana excused herself telling Rustom that she needs to pee.
Gahd!!! That’s a scene stealer!!!
I was crying not because of Rustom (although I have sentiments for him also) but I was crying out of laughing because of Keana Reeves. Gees!
I am starting to love that lady because she is real. Of all the people in that house, she might have the irritating Bisayan accent or the most tactless of them all but she is the REAL person in that house.
Gurl, because of that, I might be watching that show just to be entertained by reality (of someone else’s life). But definitely, Keana, if she isn’t to be the last person standing there, she will definitely be one of the housemates to be staying longer in Big Brother’s house.
