However, this time it’s different. From the sky-rocketing career of Alyssa Alano, I would like to gently shift the topic to a relatively new issue about Miriam Quiambao’s failed marriage. (Impluwensya ito ng pagka-toxic ng Persons and Family Relations kong subject. Hehehe... May hang-over pa ako sa Midterms namin about failed marriages..)
Pause for a while, remember these?
Miriam Quiambao---1999 Miss Universe Beauty Pageant
Parody of her famous "tapilok" incident.. Hehehe..
I must admit that I don’t really care about showbiz matters such as these, (Malamang. Sa sobrang busy sa law school with all the reading assignments at mga kaso ng iba’t-ibang tao, bakit pa ako maghahangad na makialam sa iba? Dagdag stress pa yun. Hehehe… ) but what struck me with this one are the powerful words that she gave during her interview with Bum. (Di ko rin siya kilala, pero I got the whole story from Ricky Lo’s column in The Philippine Star, June 20, 2006, Tuesday, p.C-4 entitled, “A Baby Wouldn’t Have Helped..”)
Just read between the lines:
Was money the cause of the break-up?
Miriam said no, but her interview with Bum was very revealing (“She didn’t say that things were off-the-record,” insisted Bum).
Here’s what Bum wrote:
She all the more realized that they were not compatible when Miriam, through the funding of Claudio, started a business selling jewelry to Italy. “That’s when I discovered more that we cannot go into a partnership. How can I live with him and talk to him eye to eye when in fact he’s financially dominant. Money can be an element for control. But I am not saying he controlled me. Wala akong sariling pera. I feel guilty when I spend his money. Money does not make you happy. I had access to all the money in the world but I was not happy.”
Did Claudio (who admitted he wasn’t the “marrying kind” early in their marriage) pay Miriam a fat sum for the break-up? Miriam said no.
After I read the statements made by Miriam,
I had a “freezing moment”.
I stopped for a while.
I tried to decipher what she wants to imply with those statements.
I don’t know. I’m not sure. Defrost.
Practically and honestly speaking, in this world where money is of great worth; where crimes and catastrophic relationships arise because of the lack of it; and where lost and broken souls are ever-increasing, I could hardly imagine such woman of great prestige and influence showered with glamour and extravagance would suddenly turn her back to a life where everyone desires and is envious of.
Truth hurts. Reality bites.
The book of Ecclesiastes is true. King Solomon is correct.
Point taken.
She’s right.
