Summer Addiction
Ok! I'm officially drooling.
Ian somehow also resemble Chace Crawford, my other boyfriend. LOL. Can I have a guy like Ian? LOL. He's too irresistible. Made to perfection.
So, you can say that my summer addiction is about obsessing to men and women. LOL. I promise to read some academic related stuff this summer.I have read some introductory stuff about Histology but I still haven't opened my book in Biochem and I still have no freaking idea about my class on physics. I just can't study especially in this kind of heat.
I'm planning to watch Vampire Diaries. Looks waaayyyy better than Twilight. True Blood is also good but its rated not for teens. Vampires are in, aren't they? Well, I don't care, as long as they're hot.
Teehee
Moving

I'll be updating stuffs here also.
Love lots,
Kim

ELECTION 2010!
5 days before the national election and I have to say I'm quite excited cause I'll be voting now. The truth is, politics is the least of my concern. I really don't care much about it because besides the fact that it is a downright dirty job, its lame, ok?! Ang yabang ko. hehe.
Many Filipinos are surely asking themselves: "May pag-asa pa kaya ang Pilipinas na makabangon?". I have been asking myself the same question also and as far as I can see, Philippines need a total "make-over". We need to start from scratch. Iba kasi ang mindset nating mga Pilipino compared to other nations. Yes, we can blame all those foreigner that invaded our lands- Spaniards, Americans, Japan. A big mention to Spain who has greatly contributed to what we are-- our culture, our norms, etc. Idagdag rin natin ang mga kano. Have you ever consider, what if Philippines is not Philippines? I mean, are we going to be in this state if we were not conquered in the past? Sure maraming nagawa ang pananakop sa atin ng mga Kastila at Amerikano, there's the good side in it but as I can see it now, mas nakikita ang cons. Filipinos are becoming less and less patriotic and nationalistic and that's exactly what we need. Look at China. Heavens, Chinese love for their country is beyond greatness. They could die for it. What about us? Could we die for this country? In Thailand, they have this golden statue that could be displayed in public but mind you, it will not be stolen. How about the Filipinos? Makakita lang ng kahit statwang gawa sa tanso, kinabukasan gone like the wind. Yes, that's us. I have to admit, I have no sense of nationalism and patriotism and the truth is if ever I'll be given a chance to swap citizenship I'll be glad to do so, except on notorious countries of course. Its just then that I've come to realize the importance of our culture. We must preserve it. We must preserve the "good" things that we have. Take for example the Metropolitan Theater located in Lawton, Manila. Metropolitan theater s an art deco building designed by the Filipino architect Juan M. de Guzman Arellano, and inaugurated on December 10, 1931, with a capacity of 1670 (846 orchestra, 116 in loge, and 708 in balcony). Credits to Wiki for that.
Met Theater (Before)
Met Theater (After) *ang galing talaga*
It used to be so classy and grand, now vandalism are all over. It needs to be revive. Its an artifact, a structure with historical value that we need to preserve but why do we destroy such thing? Its sad but true. Ganyan natin kamahal ang Pilipinas. We are constantly building large infrastructures, cutting down trees for investors to come yet we are not aware that we destroying the beauty that we had once. I'm sure Rizal, Bonifacio or many of our martyr would be really pissed off if they could see our situation right now. They would surely come back from the grave.
Now I'm saying this not as an activist or an advocate or what. I feel pity for our country, for us Filipinos. We are too degraded and discriminated by other nations. We need to revive our grandeur and our spark. We had that once. I don't know if its too late but we have to work now.
On May 10, 2010 your votes will determine the future of this country. We need a "decent" leader because all our leaders are "crazy".
On May 10, go out and vote. Vote wisely.

Coco Chanel and Nine
So, Coco Chanel saved my night. I really have no idea of Chanel's past life until I watched this movie. An ambitious, young lady from France who dreams of becoming an actress instead becoming this fashion icon whom celebrated and fancied by the era today. Such an inspiring story from rags to riches and a very tragic love life, I must say. Coco says ..."I never intend to marry anyone". So, she never did but at least she still leaves the legacy of her style. Audrey Tautou can act! Heavens! I thought she was Coco resurrected. I love her in this movie. I was planning to see Amelie. His leading men are all good and sexy and they speak French, which is so cool. I have never really a big fan of high class fashion, not that I don't adore them or fancy them its just that dreaming of those 10,000 bucks clothes just won't let me even dare to think about it. They are way, way too expensive. I wonder why they have increased the marketing at such a high markings? Coco Chanel is not a socialite for pete's sake! Make her clothes, shoes, hats and bags more affordable! Or maybe, I should try audition in "Nine" and do some strippy dance to make into Hollywood and do porn! Then, I'll be able to buy some Chanel dresses. Hahaha. Just kidding, of course.
