SOME GRAVITAS IN AN AQUINO


Kris Aquino. I used to puke at her stunts and gabs that all spell "self-absorbed rich showbiz brat in yellow." Yes, she's still a brat but today I am spellbound by her honesty and pizazz.

Recently, after the needless hullabaloo of the crazy local entertainment world between her and one celebrity beauty queen, she tried so hard not to blurt out any audience-biting comments too soon (which was wont of her). But not for long, unfortunately, for then after the surprising silence, she nonchalantly admits to the public that she can't help to be "self-absorbed" when interviewed by the media icon femme fatale Jessica Soho. Blame it on the world she's in, so she quipped. And then much later on wept the entire 10-15 minutes on air obviously releasing all stress that clambered on her skin since election campaign began.

But of course, it's plain easy to lie and sugarcoat one's answer when caught in a fix. Especially when you are a well-loved celebrity. And like it or not, the TV world knows how the poor public would readily cleave to this gab icon. And why not, she had made an indelible mark, whether negatively and positively in the world the public is crazy about. But here goes Ms. Kris Aquino spilled a spontaneous admittance of herself. What courage. And what composure.

She could devour cameras and PAs if she had her way. If she had her way. But she has learned to remove her butt from the diapers the patronizing public incessantly prop for her every time some leaks crawl out.

This lady has learned to tame the cat in her. She has come of age. She has ceased thinking what suits her. Never mind her usual Sunday afternoon lamentations and your tear-drenched boob-tube.

She does have some sense of gravitas despite her antics.
