Cheap thrills for stars

You’ll be surprised to know that, despite the glamorous life of celebs, mababaw din ang kaligayahan nila. The rich and famous like them also go for cheap thrills. Apres tout, the simplest joys are the truest ones.

ALFRED VARGAS: “Sunday driving without a particular destination, watching spider fights in our Bulacan farm, pushing the grocery cart like I’m riding a skateboard.”
