Endless gatherings and parties with colleagues, friends, and family mark this season. What makes these times special are the sumptuous food and excuses to drink.. Misbehaving can, sadly, result from too many raising of glasses and saying ‘Cheers!’
Like ordinary folks, showbiz personalities often show their human side when the cameras are off and they subsequently revert to their true selves. One time, celebrities were having their rounds when Respected Actor (RA) suddenly threw his drink at a woman seated at another table. RA’s move shocked the guests as they sat in disbelief that he could be uncontrollably rude when under the influence. RA had a bottle too many and alcohol was blamed as the culprit for his uncalled-for act.
The friends of the woman who received RA’s ungentlemanly action were quick to defend her. They did not care about RA’s reputation. However, the security team of the place was already on high alert and had their eyes on RA. The personnel managed to stop the incident from turning into a fistfight and the friends making mincemeat out of a drunk RA.
Apparently, the team already knew the possibilities once RA enjoys too much with his drinks. RA had behaved similarly in the past in the same venue. They feared RA might have a rage issue when he’s drunk.
RA failed to follow the adage that one should put alcohol in the tummy and not in the head.

She Listens
Owning art pieces is a timeless gauge of status and worthy investment. Private and celebrity art collectors are on the lookout for works that could appreciate in value over time. Confident artists take advantage of such trend to earn and establish their name and reputation.
A Local Artist (LA) is slowly but surely carving her place in the art world. LA has been dabbling in art for quite a time. LA started her love for art as a hobby, which subsequently turned into her passion. Soon, her work was noticed and the value was recognized. Several showbiz celebrities have expressed their admiration for the works of LA and some have been rumored to have become owners of her early pieces.
Sometime ago, LA put her new works on the market. Taking advantage of the opportunity, LA determined and marked the prices for her pieces. Although LA has a name and followers of her art, the gallery wondered why no one was buying her works. No one showing interest in LA seemed impossible.
The zero sales would be bad and an embarrassment for LA. The gallery had to check the situation. A strategy was planned and LA was allegedly advised that the market was not yet ready for the prices she wanted for her work. Hence, the prices had to be more realistic and reasonably within the pockets of buyers. LA obliged. Thus, after the exhibit, LA sold out her pieces and the gallery was happy. A sold-out status was far better than zero sales for her emerging name in the art world.
