Click Click

Have you ever wondered what it feels to be followed by the Papparazis as soon as you stp our of your house? I remember watching a TV show and it showed an aging actor oh so furious with the reporters all around him!

I was amused seeing them trying to do everything just as so they can stay away from the cameras. But they are public figures, so can we blame the cameras for following them? Yes, they are public figures, but being one does not make them any different from the rest of us. Movie stars are humans. Yes, their lives are more exciting, their lifestyles are so tempting, but they have the right to make things private for them.

Sometimes, I find myself thinking that their life is something I wouldn't want to have. Yes, it's tempting to have all those mansions, designer clothes, cars, and money. But I wouldn't take it for the precious time I spend with my family, such as a stroll in the park, a play in the community playground with my son, a family vacation, without the cameras spying on me. Real quality time.

I think entertainers are used to these already but my heart goes out to them whenever I see the frustration in their faces as the cameras continue to click and document everything that they do. I know that deep inside they yearn for some peace and quiet time. No wonder they keep on buying acres of land and mansions!
