I am quite convinced that there is money in taking snapshots of our local celebrities. Wherever they go, whenever the go out of the country, perhaps Filipino’s familiarity on online press made it possible to finally open doors for Filipino paparazzos. Take the case of Ruffa and John Lloyd. They are practically nobodys in the states but our kababayans took the liberty of spreading pictures of the together shopping at the Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. I have a theory that there is a Filipino in any part of the world. It just makes sense that no local celebrity can hide from the prying eyes of Filipino bystanders.
I think more trouble is in store for local celebrities who are fond of making scenes at the local circles. However, it takes a great deal of popularity of stardom to finally sell a snap shot of an unsuspecting actress/actor, socialites and athletes and more of big names and their indiscreet acts. I’d like to see more of these pictures. Boy that would be something to look forward to every day -- another form of free amusement at the expense of our local celebrities’ privacy.

My Everyday
It’s nice to live in our house. As I am writing this entry, everyone is already busy starting the day. We have just finished sharing breakfast. My son is now enjoying his morning Disney program, my titas are tending the garden and are now fussing over what’s the menu for lunch. My side-kick, Lani, is now doing the dishes and I am in front of my laptop blabbing about what everyone has been doing.
I am living in a traditional suburban house that has survived typhoons and volcanic eruptions. Here, I have grown from a child to a rebel teenager carrying all the hate in this world. However, all that phase has passed and I have learned to appreciate that my life is more fulfilling here in the province. I am surrounded by the people who love me and care for me as I do to them, that’s why.
Every time I forgot taking my vitamins, my Tita Rose will sure remind me to take the pill before I go out for school. If I am staying up late ‘till dawn working and typing on my laptop, there is my Tita Vicky to recite all the possible health effects of what I am doing to myself. And there is my Tita Lyd to ask me to get her pension every month, offering to shoulder my transpo fee and snack for the day in doing so (although I am not taking advantage of the offer). Of course, there is Papa. Every time I have a broken window, broken umbrella and broken everything even if it means tinkering all day clueless of what the damage could be, he just always try to do what he can to fix my things, fix NJ's toys and fix everything in the house.
As you can see, every one of us is interdependent. We have our different roles and these roles complement one another. We get along well as most families do. We may not share the same beliefs about religion, celebrities or national issues, but that’s what makes us love one another. Some may say I have a dysfunctional family, but I say “it’s the only family I got and will ever love”. How can I possibly have survived life without these people? We may not be the rich one, the religious one or the popular one but we are the one who never leaves anyone of us behind. We are the one family that lives everyday serving our own masters than serving what others expect of us. That’s how I become a no-nonsense gal.
I just wanted to start the week saying I love my family and that every day, I am getting more convinced that even if I failed to give my son the family I have been dreaming for him, I know that the family we have will suffice. The family we have love us dearly, so what am I to worry about? It may not be ideal but it can give him the perfect environment to understand the world in a wider perspective. I want to raise him as a person who thinks, reasons and battles with life…someone who is not used to perfection so he can see beauty and love under any circumstance…as I am with my life right now.

James Frey and Michael Bay
Did you remember James Frey, the author of the book 'A Million Little Pieces', which happened to be a fiction. he originally claimed that the book was based on his life as a recovering addict. It even gained the support of the Oprah show, adopting it to her book club. later on, it was found that the book was not based on actual events, though beautifully written. No offense but no one can put down a good book, fiction or not it does not matter to me.So James Frey is a good writer, live with it! Now, another James Frey is making it to the movies. we are talking Michael Bay and DreamWorks here people. the title of the book is 'I Am Number 4', a sci-fi adventure.
The book's storyline involves alien teens assimilating into an Earth high school after their home planet is destroyed by an enemy species. And wouldn't you just know, the bad aliens track the good E.T.s right back here to terra firma
as we all may probably know, Michael Bay is the director of the Transformers that made Shia Lebouff famous, Armageddon that made Ben Affleck famous, and the man that also made Nicolas Cage famous in some movie in the past (I can't remember which...basta eu to!!)
Amber Rose
hollywood is a home for fashion divas and fashion freaks. In this case, I can't decide where to put Amber Rose (Kanye West's girlfriend)
she sure looks fierce!!! work it girl!
she sure looks fierce!!! work it girl!

Yeah ladies and gents, I'm gonna work it as the online chismosa for everything that your mind and chew and puke thinking of.
hope this will work...PEACE!

I'm a Survivor
We all are survivors in our own little battles in life. Sometimes, you thought you already lost it all, but later on you realize that whatever is lost paved way for more beautiful things in your life to happen. At first, you thought that your world has already crumbled, but in the end you realize that losing battles is sometimes necessary to turn you to directions where you will be so much better. I once wrote in my journal that I am in nowhere special. I was nowhere to the special place where I felt I would be happy and complete. I was not even in the place where I intended to be…but God put me in a place that is much more meaningful for it made me rethink about my direction and decisions in life.
The road to the place where I am now is not easy. There were tears, there was desperation and there was pain. I have endured so much but it seems that those were not enough to make me become the person that God sees me to be. Perhaps he wanted me to soften up and just be human. I have been so blindsided by so many things in life that I overlooked the little things and the little people that made me feel important and well-loved.
My experiences led me to people who appreciate me as I appreciate them. It led me to an inspiration that I never thought I would ever have at this point of my life. My experience made me realize that life has more things in store for me. I have a lot of things going on in my life, but they are all really making me happier every day. I have closed my doors once, now I am more open to what else is there to surprise me.
God, I will be looking forward to more of your surprises for it made me saner and gave my life better purpose. Perhaps You are preparing me for my Mr. Right and the road to HIM surely is not easy. But till the time I finally met him, I thank you for guiding me through the pain and despair. It is YOU that I wanted to thank for all the strength that I have discovered I have. Thank you for washing away the anger in me, thank you for giving me a stronger heart to understand and somewhat learn to forgive. Now I will be ready to take on any challenge you will throw at me because I know it is Your way of leading me to the place where You will allow me to put my life’s pieces together and finally make me whole and happy.
