Post of Rage 4: The Headache Sequel

Currently, I am recovering from a terrible bells palsy, probably due to enduring stress for back to back events that happened for the past few months. I still get minor headache behind my head even if I overslept for both weekend days. My head is like being jack hammered and it is the perfect ingredient for another entry of the post of rage.

Novelty Radios
Again, the proverbial different folks for different strokes, but come on, we need to have good music, not ear wrenching novelty music which compose of horrible old love song ballads, one hit wonders from local talents that loves mashing the sampler machine like there is no tomorrow, combine with terrible, self labeled awesome novelty DJs.

Ahhh! sound of novelty radio station! Ahhh! tugstugstugs!

I fondly remembered Rein was an avid listener of a popular DJ.  Later and rightfully she regretted being a fan after seeing the real DJ on TV, a very complete opposite of what the listeners usually engraved to their minds due to his “witty” one-liners that probably taken from a nearby tabloid newspaper, and they tend to think he is one of God’s greatest contributions to handsomeness but you will shake your fist in disappointment. I don’t mind not so popular songs be played on radio because for one, I love every kind of music but please, advertisers, ditch the novelty radios and  go with the stations that plays good songs accompanied by not headache inducing DJs, and lastly, the listeners has the buying power to buy whatever you are selling.

Filthy Public Comfort Rooms
One of the worst things that can happen to you while you are out around the metro is when the Gods of bowel movement suddenly crumpled your stomach and tells you need to unload your feces, like now. Unfortunately in our dear country, especially in our polluted power capital, finding a decent comfort room in public is quite hard.

The correct “Public comfort room usage  preparation mode”

A lot of public rest rooms are filthy and full of crap  smacked all over the place, figuratively and literally, yes I did saw a comfort room with splattered feces in the wall once. Of course, the blame will fall to the ones assigned to make the room squeaky clean and worthy to put our butts on, but everyone knows that maintaining such task with consistency is a sort of allergy to some of our countrymen.

Showbiz  Talkshows and Gossip Suckers
I despise showbiz talk shows, especially the local ones packed with showbiz “journalists” that jerks off backstage when he sees his favorite actor on set. Gossip addicts and being gullible is one of the most popular traits of our nationality. They know more about other persons lives than their selves. Always hungry for scoop and over excited when a revelation is about to broadcast on national TV, complete with epic yet hilarious score and sound effects. Some people actually fight over some gossip and sometimes a kitchen knife is involve.

Gossip, gossip, babble, babble, bullshit, bullshit

Instead of talking about the private lives of our actors and actresses, why don’t we talk about on what they are doing in the first place, which is acting to entertain their fans. Talk more about the movies, TV shows and other miscellaneous projects, that’s good TV. Imagine a world without any gossip addicts, that would be awesome.

Well, at least I felt a little better and I usually say, I hope some of my post here in a way impart the world to make it a better place.

Gossip Deposit full of Shhhhh

Some Filipinos, keyword “some”, love snooping and have the “I must know” mentality. This person has starvation for things gossip, rumors and man-made-false-facts, well those two words and a hyphenated phrase have the same meaning but the point is these leeches like to feed on some things that they should not suck on the first place, even if it’s obviously fake.

This is way clear with Philippine showbiz talk shows and even with our lovable local news who just love to spout things that you want to get a piece of rolled newspaper and hit them in the head repeatedly. Showbiz talk shows should talk about the actor’s projects, upcoming shows and other interesting showbiz industry news. Why do we care if a girl goes to the other country? Does it entertain me? Why do we care if they are just friends? Does it entertain me? I remember a certain news segment with a big unfortunate headline of “The comedy queen, is getting fatter, why is that? Stay tune”.

Unfortunately, I grew up with people addicted with local showbiz, the hardcore showbiz talk shows and I can post here some gossips that can come from nothing and not fact checked. It’s like if I said I saw a blue car and say that the guy likes the color blue but in reality, this guy likes the color pink and he just got a blue car from a radio contest ran by an annoying DJ. Here are some common gossips, rumors and showbiz craps. I think most of them are correct, at least once from the miserable life of the gullible showbiz addict will see the following.

1. If a star all of a sudden goes to the other country, mostly to the United States, they will say she is pregnant
2. A star goes to the other country, he or she is meeting his/her other same time wife, the third wheel.
3. A star goes to the other country, that person is escaping from something, from the media of course.
4. If an on-screen partner asked if they are having a real relationship, even if it too obvious and you can see ants doing their ant dance around them due to their sweetness, they will just say they are just friends.
5. If a very popular star, returns  in the Philippines after staying on the other country and labeled as pregnant for some reason. Later the “media” see that she is still thin and doesn’t have any evidence of pregnancy, they will just say she aborted the baby over there.
6. If the rumored pregnant star, who disappeared somewhere in the country for some personal reason, returns in the spotlight and the media see that she is still thin and doesn’t have any evidence of pregnancy, they will just say she aborted the baby somewhere out there, which leads to a police investigation and a random raid will occur in a province somewhere in Mindanao
7. If a star disappeared, even if he is a C or D-lister, they will simply say he is a failure or a drug addict, even if he is successful doing something significant somewhere.

I don’t mind this showbiz fanatics but they should not believe everything, even if it is blatant obvious that they taken from a piece of hat. If you believe the piece of hat gossip generator thing, I will just hit you with this rolled newspaper that I got free from Jollibee. This showbiz industry, which is the main foundation for such mediums as movies, TV shows and even radio shows, is mean to entertain the people, their fans, and not know if she is a Leo, a Virgo or which country she went to have met her other same time wife.
