A Selfish Miser

Much has been written and said about how Older Celebrity (OC) has risen from a troubled young life into one of the ideal showbiz personalities. Growing up, OC had to strive throughout his life, as his parents were struggling themselves. He worked odd jobs to make sure he would be able to have money for his expenses as well as for his family. His lucky day came when he was spotted and given a break by one of the big networks.

As soon as OC got his break, he did what he was told and followed strictly orders from the management. Even if he started as a bit player, OC did his best until that moment when he clicked with his Memorable Reel partner (MR). Together, OC and MR were deemed as one of the best loveteams in terms of chemistry and box-office receipts. As always, fans hoped they would end up together.

Becoming a real couple was bound to be a problem between OC and MR, as both of them seemed to be looking at the same direction. Allegedly, OC had his sights in the same manner as MR would. Such decision, however, was hidden well, as OC will never admit to his sexual preference. The walls know, so to speak.

As time passed, OC lived in his own closet, but transformed his career into a very lucrative one. Instead of just relying on his showbiz career, he started pursuing his passion, and built his career as an entrepreneur as well. Even though his career dipped, OC remained financially secured. Given, his wealth, one would assume OC would be generous to his lovers. That was merely an assumption.

OC, it turns out, is very frugal and tightly holds on to every centavo he makes. For instance, using the aircondition would be subject to his rules. He would not even let his lover use the aircon, even though the pad was too warm. By contrast, when he would be arriving soon, he would text and say that the aircon should already be open so that the room will be ready once he reaches the place. Sadly, a Former Lover (FL) could not live with such strict and materially-guided rules, and thus broke off their relationship. FL was unable to live with the rigidness of OC when it came to money matters.

‘I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.’ ― Lao Tzu
