TAMA ang sinulat namin na sadyang nanahimik si Kris Aquino simula nu’ng dumating siya galing Bangkok, Thailand mahigit dalawang linggo na ang nakararaan. 

Nitong nakaraang Lunes ng gabi lang ulit siya nag-post sa kanyang social media account at narito ang ilang bahagi ng paliwanag ng Queen of All Media sa kanyang personal blog sa www.withlovekrisaquino website.

(Editor’s note: Ang ilang bahagi ng blog ay maaari ring basahin sa item ni Nitz Miralles.) 

“...My cue came from one of Boy Abunda’s favorite sayings, ‘Pag emosyonal at hindi muna magsasalita, mas kaunti ang kailangang walisin at bawiin kapag bumalik na sa normal ang sitwasyon.’

 

“Guess what, the girl who relished living 30 years of her life in the public eye actually felt peaceful keeping to herself. I mostly stayed at home except for going to Church to pray total surrender and to give my thanksgiving. I was sick for 3 days with fever and then I had a bout of hypertension (158/105) from all my stress. This compelled me to stay in bed, eat very healthy, decompress and sleep.

 

“Staying away from my phone gave me time to read (James Patterson’s NYPD Red 4, Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and her follow up book, Spark Joy).”

Nabanggit din ni Kris na ngayon lang niya nasubaybayan ang mga teleserye ng ABS-CBN na na-enjoy niya.

“I got hooked of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano and Pangako Sa ‘Yo (OTWOLISTAS please don’t get mad at me, but I followed the bedtime of kuya Josh and Bimb, so the latest lights out for us was 9:30 PM).

“And I started watching season 21 of Telenovela and Seasons 1 and 2 of Younger on iTunes. I also became obsessed with the Presidential primaries in the United States, glued to CNN coverage of Iowa and now New Hampshire anchored by Anderson Cooper and I became and admirer of the work of Megyn Kelly on Fox News.

“I read all sections of the New York Times, as well as Time, Newsweek, The Week, The Economist, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Forbes. I devoured the blogs about food, fashion, life hacks, makeup home décor, and travel on Bloglovin’. And I became an avid fan of Huff Post (actually, creating a Pinoy version of this is my new life goal.)”

Nabanggit din ni Kris ang tungkol sa buhay pag-ibig niya at inamin ang naging kasalanan niya.

“Looking back, there were many moments in my life that would probably have taken a different direction had I done what I did know – kept things to myself.

“A relationship is hard enough to maintain, there are enough conflicts between the partners and those closest to them, how much more difficult it is to sustain the love and the desire to hold on when everybody who can see my IG feed will feel free to comment because I wasn’t cautious enough and laid bare my heart? YES, kasalanan ko ‘yun.”

Tungkol sa relasyon nila ngayon ni James Yap na ama ng bunso niyang si Bimby, na-realize ni Kris na hindi dapat ibinabahagi sa social media ang mga gusot nila noon, pero ngayon daw ay maayos ang samahan nila.

“Co-parenting is exceptionally difficult but in this case, I believe Bimb’s father and I are equally to blame because we have been influenced by the opinion of our followers, and we have used social media to be our mediator. We recently had a misunderstanding, but neither of us shared the details, and we managed to reach a certain level of pacification that we both realize is for Bimb’s benefit. Fingers crossed that we can maintain this level of maturity.”

 

Balik-trabaho na si Kris at pinasalamatan niya ang lahat ng sumusuporta sa kanya simula nang mag-umpisa siya sa kanyang career at maging ang advertisers na hindi nagbabago ang tiwala sa kanya sa loob ng maraming taon.

“Taping from Batangas to Mindoro showed me that I owe you my 100% when it come to the episodes we air, (‘wag lang buwis buhay ang segments because kuya Josh and Bimb need me healthy and alive) because you gave me the precious gift of your time, and our advertisers and TFC subscribers gave good money for us to produce and excellent product. The time I took myself illuminated in me that peace is priceless and that is possible.” (REGGEE BONOAN)
