Egoistic Guise

This Yuletide season, people are expected to be kind and generous toward each other. However, these values should be practiced all year round and not just to this season. Sadly, Reliable Talent (RT) cannot seem to show kindness and tact to the ordinary fellows she encounters in her station and in her work.

As a dependable talent in her network, RT has been given projects that have surprisingly survived the ratings game and aired longer than ones that have stars bigger and more popular than she. Hence, even if she is sometimes beset with controversy, she still manages to be visible in shows that cut across time. Nonetheless, RT has to work harder, as new talents are being signed up by her network, and as soon as the station realizes someone is better, talents are slowly weeded out. If she does not reinvent herself, RT might not be prioritized.

Being homegrown and loyal to the network are the advantages of RT over other talents in her network. Unfortunately, despite being around for years, full stardom has been quite hard for RT to reach. The network could not be faulted, as it has done all it could for RT, such as giving her good roles in big projects and pairing her with various male leads to see with whom she will click. Unfortunately, something seems to prevent RT from being as popular as her contemporaries. As always, this situation has something to do with her attitude.

One time, RT chanced upon a Production Crew (PC) eating a particular brand of local chocolates. The brand is quite popular, and has been around for decades. PC was so engrossed in her eating, indicating that she really loved that brand. Upon seeing her, RT asked if she could have some. PC gave RT a few cups to try. After trying a bit, RT suddenly started ranting at PC and questioned why PC was so absorbed with eating the local chocolates.

Shocked at the reaction of RT, PC refrained from replying despite being made to feel small by the talent. PC allegedly wanted to remind RT of her roots and that she did not grow up eating foreign-branded chocolates. Despite having her snack time ruined, PC kept to herself and let RT talk and continue proving that she, indeed, is judgmental and looks down at people effortlessly.
