Nilinaw ni Regine Velasquez na hindi masama ang loob niya kay Stell Ajero of SB19 na hindi natuloy ang guesting nito sa kanyang Reset concert na gaganapin sa February 14, 15, 21 and 22 sa Samsung Performing Arts Theater.

Dapat sana’y guest si Stell sa February 21 at inanunsiyo pa ito mismo ni Regine sa kanyang mediacon last week. The following day ay bigla na lang nagkaroon ng changes dahil hindi na raw matutuloy ang guesting because nagkaroon ng conflict sa schedule.

Dahil dito ay nag-post si Regine ng “Well I’m a little disappointed but……see you guys.”

Sa panayam with Ogie Diaz, inamin naman ni Songbird na disappointed talaga siya pero hindi kay Stell kundi sa sitwasyon.

“Disappointed talaga ako dahil I was very excited to sing with Stell,” aniya.

She revealed na idu-duet daw sana nila ang awiting Sometime, Somewhere (SS) na komposisyon ni Ryan Cayabyab at talagang naka-prepare na siya na ito ang gagawin nila at excited na siya na mag-rehearse sila ni Stell.

“But again, you know, these things happen. May mga unfortunate things na minsan, nangyayari talaga. And hindi naman nila fault. Tsinek din naman namin sa side ko kung ano ‘yung schedule but miscommunication lang talaga. Hindi lang nagtugma,” paliwanag ni Songbird.

Maging si Stell ay disappointed din at nagpadala raw ito sa kanya ng flowers.

“Nagpadala nga s’ya ng flowers. Thank you, Stell. Kasi maski s’ya, disappointed din s’ya na hindi s’ya makakapag-guest dahil gusto rin n’ya talagang gawin,” sey ni Regine.

PANSAMANTALANG iiwanan ni Bela Padilla ang kanyang tahanan sa London para mag-full time na raw sa kanyang work.

Ito ang inihayag niya sa kanyang latest Instagram (IG) post kalakip ang mga larawan niya sa London na naging tahanan niya since 2021.

“A few seconds of my life in London since 2021. I am temporarily closing this chapter as I prepare to work full time again (heart emoji) and yes, I should have taken more pictures. I should have kissed and hugged my loved ones as much as I needed,” bungad ng aktres.

Ibinahagi rin niya ang magagandang alaala niya in each season sa naturang bansa.

“Even if London will forever be the city that made me question everything I know in life, and forced me to square my shoulders, walk faster and be more vigilant…It will also always be the city that allowed me to smell flowers in spring and summer. And boy did I stop and smell the flowers constantly. They were the highlights of my day. 

“On days when I forgot what I sounded like because I wasn’t talking to anybody, I had the flowers to remind me that God wanted me happy by giving me the most beautiful flowers just around my neighbourhood. 

“London made me embrace the sad colours of autumn so hard that it would crush my soul every time I swept my garden before winter. Always weeping for the big tree I have, dying temporarily… as did I, with every sad day, quiet room entered and a moment of complete confusion,” aniya.

“Because of London, my instincts are now sharper. I stayed as healthy as I could while navigating my autoimmune disorder. I very quickly learned to walk, ride my bike and eventually drive cars on the left side. The education I got from in and out of the classrooms, imbedded in me now.

“London also gave me the best friends that one could develop in adulthood, abroad. Our shared love for food, pints of Guinness or ciders, homesickness, overpriced takeaway and complaints about the bitter cold of winter glued me to them in ways that sometimes saved my sanity,” sey pa niya.

Maging ang mga sad moments niya sa naturang bansa ay ibinahagi niya partikular na ang pagyao ng kanyang ama.

“I had to figure out grief alone in my high ceiling bedroom when I got the call that my dad had passed away…so my first house in London will always be the one I hold dearest to me. The sadness ate me whole so I took a train to Scotland where, shockingly, the sun made me feel like I was in the Philippines for a few days,” kuwento ng aktres.

“I will still have my house in London and maybe one day, I will call it home again,” saad pa niya.

Paglalarawan pa niya sa kanyang favorite country, “London is polite but shouts when you’re wrong. Beautiful but rough around the edges. Kind but has a darkness that could scare the tough...my friend, London.”

Matatandaang taong 2021 nang magtungo si Bela Padilla sa London para roon na manirahan. Pauwi-uwi na lang siya ng Pilipinas kapag may tanggap na proyekto.
