Pananahimik ni Kris, mapanindigan kaya?

SINADYA ni Kris Aquino na manahimik muna simula noong dumating siya galing ng Bangkok, Thailand na nag-shoot ng TVC ng isang produkto at ilang araw na wala siyang post na inaabangan ng followers niya.

Pati cellphone niya ay hindi niya hinawakan kaya marami ang nagtataka sa biglaang pananahimik ng Kris TV host.

Noong Lunes ng gabi ay nag-post si Kris para malaman ng followers niyang nagtatanong kung bakit ilang araw siyang nawala.

Kuwento ni Kris, “I purposely stayed away from social media (and yes, Kris TV went on Best of for 8 episodes) because there were professional issues we needed to resolve, and Thank You Lord – that natuto na ako by being outspoken and sharing details with all of you, mas hahaba ang proseso at mas malabong maayos sa mahinahon at mas mature na paraan.

“That doesn’t mean that you ate unimportant to me. The truth is I would never become me had you not given me consistent support.  But life has taught me that I should share with you my work, the process that goes hand in hand with my work, ‘the paying it forward’ aspects of sharing my blessings and certain snippets of our family life that would hopefully inspire you. The rest of my life I owe to my siblings and sons to keep among us. Alam n’yo na pinaka-sensitive ako when it comes to my family, somehow pag sila ang tinira no matter how much I ignore the bashers and haters, the part of me that needs to stand up and defend my loved ones is unleashed.   And bahala na si Batman, lalaban ako.

“This time was different, I knew that by containing the situation– there was a very big chance that I would have that a much stronger opportunity of fixing everything where everybody would feel blessed, and there won’t be anything that I would need to later on clean up. 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 about of hypertension (158/105) from all my stress. This is 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).”

Nasubaybayan na rin ni Kris ang mga teleserye ng ABS-CBN, “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.)”

Naibahagi rin ng Queen of All Media ang naging dahilan kung bakit wala siyang lovelife, “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.”

Nabanggit din ni Kris ang naging takbo ng relasyon nila ni James Yap at na-realize na hindi dapat isine-share sa social media ang mga gusot nila noon, pero ngayon daw ay maganda ang relasyon 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.”

Bumalik na sa trabaho si Kris noong Martes kaya nagpasalamat siya sa lahat ng sumusuporta sa kanya simula nang mag-umpisa siya sa showbiz at advertisers na laging nagtitiwala 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 an excellent product.  The time I took myself illuminated in me that peace is priceless and that is possible.”

In fairness, mas magandang tahimik si Kris at wala ring stress sa parte niya.
