CELEBRITIES.. We see them in commercials, teleseryes, in billboards and when we're lucky-- sometimes we even bump into them at the mall. There is no denying that we sometimes (okay, OFTEN times hahaha) gossip about them and their personal lives, criticize their looks, the decisions they make-- forgetting that they're people with feelings too (only much prettier than us hahaha!). Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be judged by other people and not have the chance to defend yourself.. But then again, that's something that "normal people" also go through.. Diba?
Anyway, this is the first time that I'm featuring anybody from the Philippine show business and the reason why I picked Carla was because I was totally impressed with how she handles herself in the face of adversity. I was still in Manila (last year) when I got to watch a Youtube video of her being shot down by a writer during a press conference. I would've freaked out in a situation like that, would've probably made a fool of myself in front of a lot of people, but not Carla Abellana. She carried herself so well, with so much composure and class. She seriously inspired me to be more calm and more patient when dealing with people who try their best to humiliate you or make you feel bad.
This post is loooong overdue (she sent me her answers last Oct. 2011 pa!) but this is only because I just found the YES! Magazine my Mom had (where they featured Carla and her beautiful home) so... okay.. without further ado... ;)
If you weren't in showbiz right now, what would your life be like? Where would you be?
Oh I'd definitely still be working for Rockwell Land Corporation, or at least for some other company. I left RLC for showbusiness and I was doing well, enjoying
