The game is over

Now it can be told. Game is over for Anne Curtis and Sam Milby. A crying Anne admitted to The Buzz that she and Sam Milby have broken up. In an interview by Kris Aquino, Anne said this time it was Sam who initiated the breakup. It happened September. “For us to stop exclusively dating, it was Sam,” said Anne. “Kailangan niya lang siguro to concentrate na muna doon sa relationship niya with God.” Anne said it was last September when problems started. “But it’s basically the same doon sa ginawa ko noon. When I wanted to fix my relationship with God.”

It can be remembered that a crying Anne guested on Boy & Kris last year insinuating a breakup with Sam because she wanted to strengthen her relationship with God. “Wala akong personal relationship noon with God and it was during that time last year when I was awakened and I started anew.”

This time though, it was Sam who needed to fortify his relationship with God, thus, initiating the breakup. “It was hard for me at that time,” she said. “Mahirap tanggapin pero in the long run I was able to understand. Naiintindihan ko siya kasi nga pinagdaanan ko rin.”

No, there is no third party to their breakup. And they have not spoken to each other personally since breaking up last September. “We are both busy. I am doing Baler and I don’t think it is right for us to talk through text messages.”

Asked by Kris how much she still loves Sam, Anne said, “Whatever feelings I have for him before is still there. But I am better now. ‘Yong trip ko sa New York was good for me.”

Anne still has a high regard for Sam. And for people who are upset because of what happened to her and Sam, Anne has this to say, “Wag kayo magalit kay Sam. I know he has a good heart. I know that the least that he wanted to do was to hurt me.”

Is Anne ready to go out on a date again, asked Kris, “Hindi pa. Hindi pa siguro. I don’t want to entertain people yet who have motives na ligawan ako. Ayoko din magmadali muna. I just have to concentrate on my career.”

A second chance for Eddie

Eddie Gutierrez went through angioplasty surgery last week at the St. Luke’s Medical Center. “We were all crying when I told Ruffa about what was happening to their dad. Sabi kasi ng doctor, serious daw ’yong heart problem niya. Sabi ko, Eduardo, ako na lang mauna. Huwag ikaw, hindi ko kaya,” Annabelle said.

Tuesday last week, Eddie was operated on and Friday of that week he was released from the hospital. “This is my second lease on life. I thank everyone who prayed for us,” he said.

According to Annabelle, it was Richard and Ruffa who shouldered the hospital expenses of their dad. “Si Richard ang sumagot sa mga financial expenses ng daddy niya. Napakabait na anak.” Annabelle intimated that she is also sick and needs to be operated on in America. “I am just waiting for Eddie to recover. I am also sick. Kaya sabay sabay kaming dalawa.”

Still a kapamilya

Judy Ann Santos signed a two-year contract with ABS-CBN. “Finally I have signed the contract ayon sa pagkakaintindi ko. And I was able to include things that I wanted to do.”

According to her talent manager Alfie Lorenzo, Juday’s contract with ABS will expire in 2009 and the new contract she signed with ABS will start August of 2009 until July 2011. “It was what I was insisting noon kaya nagkaroon kami ng misunderstanding. For me, I wanted her to have a fall back just in case she marries and have children. Meron pa rin siyang gagawin sa ABS.”

Juday in retrospect said, “Now it is clear to me. And I do appreciate the time ABS is giving me. Mas clearer din sa amin ni Tito Alfie our obligations and responsibilities as individuals. Tito Alfie also understands why I needed a lawyer. It is not that I am bypassing him or wala akong utang na loob or binastos ko siya. I just needed to know kung ano ang gagawin ko.”
