After living here in the US for more than four years now, I have found ways to keep updated through the advent of the internet with things going on back in the Philippines. Living half way around the world from your family and loved ones can be a really lonely and stressful experience. It helps me feel at home when it is easy for me to keep up with the latest and greatest gossip about my favorite stars and celebrities. Since we got connected with high speed internet, downloading videos and chatting with friends from back home makes me feel like I am almost there.
I have never been a big fan of celebrities before but when I moved here to the US, I was excited to see Filipinos like Manny Pacquiao, Arnel Pineda and Charice become world wide celebrities. I still don’t pay much attention to the latest hollywood gossip but I really enjoy following those successful Filipinos. I like to watch movies and other shows on television but haven’t paid too much attention to the reality shows until just recently. I got hooked on the reality show Big Brother, this last year because of Jeff and Jordan. I also regularly watch some shows like Smallville, American Idol, America’s Got Talent and Fringe to name just a few but I usually don’t follow the actors and actresses of these American shows as closely as the ones from the Philippines.
Every person is unique regarding their likes and dislikes. Some people like to keep updated on the activities of their favorite celebrities but other people could care less. According to my hubby, I already waste a lot of time watching shows online. How much more so if I also tried to keep up with all the hollywood gossip. I sometimes search online for the latest news about Jeff and Jordan. When I find nice stories about celebrities, especially when it involves fashion and beauty, I like to read them.
