Lessons From Anne Curtis

Lessons From Anne Curtis. Anne shares her lesson learned from her life experiences.

1. SPEND TIME ALONE
Take a break from your daily life, and spend time with one of the most important people in your life: yourself. When Anne’s four-month-old half-sister, Claire, died six years ago, she traveled alone to Hawaii to reflect and give herself space. “The gift I took from that time is that it allowed me to meet new people, to be independent, think on my feet, and not rely on anyone else,” Anne says. “It showed me I can have a quiet side. I’m so noisy; I’m so bubbly and talkative. But there, I found a reflective side. I can be that introspective person.”

2. BE SPONTANEOUS
Anne encourages people to do something adventurous from time to time—just like she did on her solo trip to Hawaii. “Traveling alone isn’t scary, really. The thing is, you have to have common sense. You don’t go anywhere without letting people know where you’re going; you have to be alert to your surroundings always. But if you have the resources and you feel you really need to do it—like I did—then go! You only live once.”

3. LEARN TO ADAPT
Anne spent her childhood in Australia with Australian father James Curtis-Smith, Filipina mother Carmen Ojales, and her two siblings. When she started staying in the Philippines to pursue a career in showbiz, Anne had to deal with adapting to a country that was then foreign to her. She recalls being displeased with her Australian accent. “I watched VHS copies of my old shows, and it was really irritating to listen to. Ang arte!” She eliminated it so well some people forget she once had it.

4. WORK HARD—AND REAP GREAT REWARDS
In 2008, Anne got her first Best Actress Award for the movie Baler, which had her playing a Filipina in the Spanish colonial period. The role came as a surprise to her because she didn’t think she looked Pinay, but her hard work paid off in the end, and she hasn’t stopped there. Anne hopes to be given “offbeat” roles that will help her test her limits. “I don’t know what the subject will be but I’d like the chance to play grey characters. A good actor can play anything: an alcoholic, a psychopath, something like that.”

5. LOVE YOUR PARENTS
Anne is grateful to her parents for making her the person who she is today. She is particularly close to her dad, whom she calls her “personal book of wisdom,” and notes how he always makes sense when she asks him for advice. Anne shares what he said about women her age growing up faster than the men. “He told me, ‘With you, I see you have matured. Just be easy-going, don’t get your knickers in a knot over men. Sooner or later, you’ll be over heartbreak without even noticing you’re over it. So stop crying, stop being foolish.’”

UST on the Anne Curtis-GMA Issue

UST on the Anne Curtis-GMA Issue. Organizers of the USTV Student's Choice Kick Off Party today issued a statement, appealing to the country's two largest television networks to "move on" in the incident with Anne Curtis and staff members of GMA Network.

In an official statement, the university's secretary-general said: "We hope that all parties can move on and continue with our common commitment of promoting positive values in the mass media. We regret any misunderstanding or confusion that may have occurred unintentionally and caused inconvenience to some."

The organizers of the event explained that "the program featured pre-determined sequence aimed at giving all the celebrities in attendance ample time to meet or to perform before the Thomasian audience. (However) since the TV networks normally cannot declare the exact number of talents who would be able to come, last minute adjustments were inevitable, subject however to mutual agreement of the concerned parties."
