How could you be so heartless...

Kanye West!

The web's buzzing about Kanye's recent MTV VMA's 09 outburst..if you havent, its all over youtube!
He looked like a big bully picking on a poor little girl :( it's so rude what he did. It wasn't enough that he stole poor taylor swift's moment, he even compared the teen country sensation to BEYONCE and dissed her in front of the millions watching...leaving her stunned and speechless. Good thing Beyonce offered her own moment to Taylor. I may not be a fan..but i feel for her big time!

tsk tsk. hope swift bounces back and tops every album west comes out with. THAT would be the ultimate payback.

current read: Lovely Bones

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:29:00 +0000

Before the time traveler's wife, there was Lovely Bones.

I can see why these books are being compared. the way it was written was very similar. you won't find yourself bored with the narration. both, a page turner. though lovely bones can be dragging at times because the story is flat-out saddening. well, the story revolves around a brutal death so what can one expect. BUT im a very bad reader cause i cheat!!! yup, when the story catches up with me, i take a TINY peek at the last page just to satisfy my curiousity - haha! so now, i know why this book soared as a best seller. must read!

btw, the movie's coming out on december -- hahaha! im the ultimate sell-out!!!! :)

time traveler's wife (movie)

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:15:00 +0000

watched it already.

though i love the book, the movie was just ok. in literature, you'll learn that one should never, ever compare a book to its movie because of certain factors. i agree. but take the technical stuff of it was the reason for the setback. it will probably gain a more positive response from someone who hasn't read the book. i personally think it fell flat with the transitions. it could've been better if there were narrations or even a better soundtrack. it was very linear and structured as compared to the woven and intricate storyline of the book. well we can blame it on time constraints. but the "it" factor was just missing. this is why it didn't live up to the hype. but nonetheless, it was a tearjerker. still a must-see. catch it you haven't yet. :)

Going Gaga!

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:29:00 +0000

that's how it was last night.

Araneta wa packed! Seryoso napuno ni Lady Gaga! Me and my officemates had a blast. Too bad my sisters weren't able to make it. Well, Pel wasn't aloud bec it was a school night and her exam's today and tal was feeling sick-o. I know that had they gone, they would've enjoyed it as much as i did. super sayang. thanks trish and sirjt for stepping in! haha bawi-bawi, walang luge :)

though it started 9-ish --tagal ng pedicab!--super saya, but at the end bitin pa din. everyone was shouting "more" but i guess even if she was game to sing more, she coudn't do so cause wala na siya kakantahin. lady gaga has only 1 commercialized album under her belt so far so that's limiting her performance to only a handful of songs. to make up for that, she gave one hell of a performance. beyond her "kaGAGAhan", you can see right through her that she is an artist. looooove the costumessssss (as in zuper daming changes), makeup, dance (semi-stiff effect! haha), shoes, gimmicks, antics, lines and props! my 1k ticket is just right - great seats :)

im poor :( but i like it for the sake of once-in-a-lifetime experiences! haha new excuse! anyway, hope wala pang bagong int'l concerts...paramore please dont come just yet!!! huhuhuhahahaha

EDSA baby. Cory's legacy.

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 07:35:00 +0000

By now, prayers have been said and tears have been shed. And like every Filipino in mourning, I feel the sudden emptiness and hopelessness without her. But with all the pain, criticism, longingness and sacrifices she's been through, I could only wish for happiness and peace for Former Pres.Cory Aquino. Finally, she's reunited with her Ninoy in a place surrounded by old oak trees and unfading melodies.

Let not her fight for democracy be a lost cause. It's up to you and me - the EDSA babies- to continue guarding our freedom against moral corruption. Every Filipino who witnessed a rotten and unjust system serves as her legacy in keeping the flame of democracy burning in our hearts.

Thank you, Cory.

Welcome home tito bernie!

Can't wait to go on another farm adventure weekend or just go mall-ing :)

Sarap ng weekend! Kain. Tulog. Music. TV. Internet. BUM.

Huhuhu Monday here I come.

By the way, SONA nga pala! I remembered back in College I was super glued to current events that i even rush home just to catch the SONA and have a post analysis with katz, kats, trina and janie! hehehe now, i stopped caring-- which is sick. the moment one stopped caring, the world stops changing. and if that change is for the better, then im sorry for ever stopping. today's must: stop being a nobody and be a better somebody for anybody.

i heart GCT! <3

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:48:00 +0000

sa wakas. weekend.

i looooove the rain but not on working days!

one thing i hate about it is having to give up my cozy bed in exchange of the wet, stressful outside world. The whole week has been a difficult commute what with all the non stop pouring and flooding. finally. here come's the weekend! my itineraries:

• dvd marathon - finally got a copy of GG 2 and 17 again :) and duplicity for my dad. cant expect him to watch 17 again with me, tal and pel haha

• time travel - the book that is :) have to finish na i'm the most turtle bookworm ever!

• dentist! - the most dreaded place one can ever go to. not a fan.

• salon - i like! mom promised a hair makeover if i go home early/not go out of the house. hehe

• sleep - period.

despite all this. weekend still gets me gloomy for some reason.
anyway, my mom hates the rain. wonder how she's holding up...will see her later but need to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince first! hehe

finally, Congratulations Mommy Uma! :) hope to see Baby Yuan soon! :)

black is the new blog.

mind your own, mind of your own.

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:33:00 +0000

My aim today is to free myself from unnecessary thoughts that are killing me lately. so, i thought of going through my old blog posts.

I noticed that my recent entries weren't as happy and substantial (political/social) anymore. So much so that even the text aren't as colorful as before. sooo black and dull!!! Did my love for writing/blogging diminished through the years? It's sad to think that my entries aren't as fun anymore :( Somehow I think it's got something to do with my state of mind. If you know me for a long time, you'll notice that I've lost a certain flare in my personality. I've turned into a free-flowing paperboat from a wave-riding surfboard. Probably to cope with destructive situations?? certainly.

Anyway, one thing's for sure. I'll always have grammar errors! hahaha ang dami nung binabasa ko lahat. i know, i know, kakahiya! copywriter pa naman ako. hahahaha anyway, good thing this is a blog. One place where mistakes won't matter and you aren't not accountable for your opinions. FREEDOM.

salamat sa blog. blog is love <3

lazy saturday.

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 06:05:00 +0000

sometimes i love you,
sometimes i dont.

sometimes i long for you,
at times i don't.

but i wouldn't want you any other way
my saturday.

**just another lazy afternoon watching a woody allen musical with my mother dear :)

current read: The Time Traveler's Wife

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:02:00 +0000

a looooong over due one. wished i started reading this earlier.
first page palang, dagger na :(

i still remember convincing Popachki to read it more than a year ago! haha yun pala ako pa di nagbabasa, haha! anyway she loved it and so far im loving it too! :)

anyway, if you haven't read this one, do so ASAP before the movie comes out on august!
coming from my last book w/c was the twilight saga, ha! Audrey Niffenegger kicked Stephenie Meyer's butt! haha
i miss reading between the lines, deciphering messages and that certain "aaaahhhhh" when you finally connect the plot points. Didn't experience those when I was reading twilight, it spoonfed the readers kasi.

true literary classic vs. popculture treat

go treat yourself to this literary journey :)

Woke up this morning and realized that I didn't even write one entry about Hollywood's big lost last week. The passing of Fawcett and Jackson are not only shocking but all the more heartbreaking.

Every morning, I would turn on the TV just to jumstart my day and not get the shock of my life when i take a bath. It's a habit to warm me up before I go through my day. So there I was turning on the TV while eating my breakfast when I found out through CNN that MJ is dead. Shocked. Outraged. Saddened. Even though I wasn't a HUGE fan, I have BIG respect for his music and influence in every artist today. From moonwalking to chart-topping records, that was POPCULTURE. That was MICHAEL JACKSON.

Forgetting I had just woken up, my eyes were glued to the screen for all the little details I don't wanna miss. Then, on the crawling marquee, another news shocked my day. An 'angel' left Hollywood and has gone off to a place where stars never fade and lights never go off. Farraw Fawcett succumbed to the big C.

With all this happening, there was only one person I could ever think of. My mom was a HUUUGGGEEEE fan of MJ and Farrah. Im positive that she hasn't heard of this yet so I just have to tell her ASAP and could not wait till after work to tell her. True enough, she was devastated when she got the news. I remembered my mom saying that those 2 influenced her in a lot of ways. From her fascination and awe in MJ to Farrah's trademark gorgeous hair! Looking back, I remember my mom's old pics and her hair was indeed sooooo Farrah!

With both gone too soon, I hope their legacies live through the artists we have today. Their craft is not one to be wasted.

hello blogosphere!

Today is Thursday and i'm once again counting down the days till it's weekend. Saturdays and Sundays are like desserts. You work your way through the entire week just to get to the sweetest treat.

Two more nights and we're free! hopefully there's no weekend work. Ok, honestly im just blabbing right now cause it's exactly 5:00 pm and I'm bored to death. And I finally updated my blog from the office. So please bear with me while I bore all of you with nothingness.

Seriously I don't have anything to say and this is probably the worst entry ever. hehehe but it feels good to finally empty my brain full of nothingness so the creative juice can flow once again. :)

Someone hand me a pillow

when i was a kid, a band aid was enough to take the pain away. a cut, wound or burn is healed in an instant. whether i used it for my finger, knee or any part of my body, it eases the hurt and relieves me of pain. so now, can it still do the same for my heart? could heartaches heal or you'll just numb yourself with pain? I say the former takes time... the latter needs a rude awakening.

you can let yourself heal and let the band aid called courage patch it all up.

a breather

noreply@blogger.com (Kathy G.) — Sat, 17 May 2008 18:19:00 +0000

for someone who loves spontaneity, the word routine does not even exist. once in a while, it feels good to break the monotony in your life and just breathe.

and so...i took off with my family to batangas! I'm feeling more of myself now, I was kinda lost for a while...in a literal and figurative manner. for my blogger friends i think it's kinda obvious what i mean... i miss blogging! i miss writing like this again...no headlines, taglines, body copy or advertorials. Just writing in its purest, silliest form :)

pictures from our batangas trip... or just visit my multiply for more pics :)

HAPPY ME!

HAPPY KIDS!

HAPPY PLACE!
