Bulag sa pag-ibig, Heart, anghel ang tingin sa BF kahit walang datung

Mukha ng isang babae na in love na in love ang itsura ni Heart Evangelista nang mag-guest siya kahapon sa Startalk.

Ibang-iba ang aura ni Heart na hindi nagde-deny na masaya siya ngayon dahil sa kanyang boyfriend na si Daniel Matsunaga.

Parang anghel na napakabait ang description ni Heart kay Daniel. Hindi raw niya akalain na makakakilala siya ng isang mhin na sobra ang bait.

Natawa si Heart nang itanong ko kung may datung si Daniel dahil sa tsismis na pumupunta at nagtatrabaho sa Pilipinas ang mga Japanese-Brazilian model dahil hindi sila richie-rich sa kanilang bansa.

Hindi importante kay Heart ang kayamanan ng isang lalake dahil may mga simpleng bagay daw na mas nakapagpapasaya sa atin at agree ako sa sinabi niya.

Si Daniel na kaya ang maging lifetime partner ni Heart?

Para kay Venus Raj ang mahabang e-mail na ipinadala ni Candy na nag-request na huwag ko nang banggitin ang kanyang full name at e-mail address.

Isang Indian national ang asawa ni Candy na bothered sa mali raw na pronounciation sa family name ng Filipina beauty queen na 4th runner-up sa nakaraang Miss Universe Contest:

“The purpose of this e-mail is to make a clarification regarding the correct pronounciation of Venus’ surname - Raj. I have long been meaning to write you about this matter but I just couldn’t find time to do so because of tons of work schedules and household chores that have been eating up all my time lately.

“I am a Filipina, by birth, happily married to an Indian national named Raj. His name is pronounced as ‘radj’ (same common pronounciation with ‘taj’ in taj mahal, which is also sometimes pronounced as ‘tazh’).

“This is contrary to what Venus had claimed that her surname should be pronounced as ‘Rah’ because her dad is allegedly an Indian national.

“Raj means ‘a king or a ruler’ in hindu. Thus, millions of Indians are named as such because of it denotation. But it is quite unusual/uncommon in India for ‘Raj’ to be a surname according to my husband...although he admits that there could be some Indians with that surname, but a very slim chance.

“My assessment on this matter is that since Venus did not actually have any contact with her alleged Indian dad, no one has taught her how to pronounce ‘Raj’ correctly.

“But the question is, is Raj the real surname of his alleged Indian dad? Could it be that Raj is her alleged Indian dad’s first name or is her mom telling the true accounts of her story?

“Wouldn’t it be possible that the mom was a victim of ‘untoward circumstance’ in Qatar that led to her pregnancy to Venus, more that two decades ago, but was too ashamed to admit?

“In one of her interviews, Venus, revealed that the name of her alleged Indian dad is Vincent (Vincent Raj, in full).

“So unreal. In India Christian names are very rarely patronised, especially one or two generations ago! In the present generation, Christian names are now being used by some Indians accompanying a Hindu/Hindi name (for instance, Michael Jinal plus a surname; Natraj Julius plus a surname; or even Vincent Raj plus a surname).

“Lolit, I am just concerned with Venus’ quest to look for her real father. Unless she gets the factual information as to the identity of her father, she wouldn’t be able to trace her roots...that’s for sure.

“But despite this, I still remain as Venus’ number one fan. I am very proud of her, as many Filipinos around the world do. Good luck and more blessings to her and her career!

“Thanks Lolit. I just hope that you spare me a space in your column for this e-mail. But please don’t publish my e-mail address and my real name.”

Nalungkot naman ako sa kuwento ni Jake Vargas na Stage 4 na ang colon cancer ng kanyang nanay na si Magdalena.

Mabuti na lang, hindi nawawalan ng mga TV project si Jake kaya nakakatulong siya sa pagpapagamot sa kanyang nanay.

Kasali si Jake sa cast ng Tween Hearts, ang youth-oriented show ng GMA 7 na magsisimula ngayong hapon, pagkatapos ng Party Pilipinas.
