FRIENDSHIP IS A blessing. Ang mga tunay na kaibigan ay laging maaasahan umulan man o umaraw, sa hirap man o ginhawa. Wala silang pinipiling oras at lugar kung kailangan mo ng isang karamay. The American writer and publisher Elbert Hubbard once said, “Your friend is the man who knows all about you and still likes you.” There is no written constitution when it comes to friendship. You can be your real self when you are with friends. You can talk about the most trivial topics and you find yourself laughing at the silliest jokes. Mabaliw ka man sa pag-ibig, nandiyan pa rin sila para sa iyo.
Masayang tingnan na kahit sa nakaaaliw at nakababaliw na mundo ng showbiz, mayroon pa ring mga nabubuong matatag na pagkakaibigan. Hollywood celebrities have established genuine and lasting friendships. Alam ba ninyong pareho ng personal fitness trainer ang magkaibigang Gwyneth Paltrow at Madonna? Gwyneth praised Madonna in V Magazine, “Through thick and thin she’s a constant in my life. It’s like we have some kind of karmic thing.” Malayo na ang narating ng friendship nina Ben Affleck at Matt Damon who once shared a small apartment in L.A. while working on the screenplay for Good Will Hunting. They founded the production company LivePlanet and signed a production deal with Warner Bros.
Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes have always caught the public’s attention with their sense of fashion. Magmula nang dumating ang mga Beckhams sa L.A., Victoria and Katie have been spotted at fashion shows and on double dates with their husbands. Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox are Friends in reel and real life. They put their friendship to a higher level nang maging ninang si Jennifer ng babaeng anak ni Courtney na si Coco.
Teen stars Kim Chiu, Melissa Ricks, Erich Gonzales, Empress Schuck, Beauty Gonzales and Kitkat even named their group Chiurigogobaschu. Bakit ba ito ang napili nilang pangalan? Melissa explained, “Chiurigogobaschu stands for Chiu is Kim, Ricks ako tapos Gonzales si Erich, Gonzales din si Beauty, Kitkat is Banaz and si Empress is Schuck. Nagsimula iyan sa mga rehearsals ng Christmas special, Star Magic special, sa mga balls namin. So after ng rehearsals ay lumalabas kami. We watch movies and nadi-discover namin that we’re alike.” Sinabi rin ni Kim na magkakapareho raw sila ng mga problems kaya naiintindihan nila ang isa’t isa.
Since they’re good friends, it is expected na marami silang alam na sikreto ng bawat isa. Binuking pa nga ni Kim si Erich. “Mahilig siyang mag-retouch ng mag-retouch. Maya’t maya retouch. ‘Pag magkakasama kaming lahat, kami simple lang, siya naka-outfit.” Nagbigay pa si Melissa ng clue tungkol sa crush ni Erich. “Guwapo, nasa showbiz, ka-age namin, kilala ng mga tao at mestiso.” Sino sa palagay ninyo ang guy na tinutukoy ni Melissa?
Kaibigan, usap tayo muli!
