Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines' Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach!!!

OMG OMG OMG! I've wanted to post this already since it has become my blog's tradition to have an entry about the winners of the annual Miss Universe pageant. But since I've become too lazy to put up anything here on my blog, I only found the time to write something about Miss Universe today.

I have finally seen a Filipina being crowned as Miss Universe in my lifetime. Thought I would never get to see that day.

Isn't she lovely? the royal blue gown is perfect with the Miss Universe crown.

I guess the world already know how much the Philippines is obsessed about beauty pageants, especially about the Miss Universe pageant. We are so passionate about it. And that remarkable day of December 21, 2015 (December 20 in Las Vegas), the 42 year drought of the Philippines from the Miss Universe crown has finally come to an end. Thanks so much to our beautiful, elegant, amazing Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach~ the Miss Universe crown is finally ours once again. I was very elated and overwhelmed when Philippines was announced as the real Miss Universe 2015.  It actually made me cry. For years, I've been wanting to see a Filipina be crowned as Miss Universe in my lifetime. It finally came true! Oh my, god!

The announcement of the winner had a confusion at first, I'm sure the people around the world knew what happened that night of the coronation. But I'm so glad that real winner of the 64th edition of Miss Universe is the Philippines. And I hope everyone, especially the fans and supporters of Miss Colombia should accept that fact. Though I still think that Ariadna Gutierrez did not deserve that kind of humiliation and embarrassment, please know and accept that it's not Pia's fault. Pia did not take the crown away from Ariadna. It's the host's fault and mistake. And Steve Harvey had apologized for it already. I just hope and wish that both the fans of the girls should stop all this fighting and move on from this. After all, it's been a week already since the Miss Universe pageant.

I want to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am to Miss Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach for bringing pride in our country! You truly are the perfect Miss Universe! I still get teary-eyed whenever I see your pictures or videos of your interviews on TV or Youtube. You made me so happy---not only me, but all the Philippine nation. I believe you will be the best Miss Universe ever! We love you so much! :)

Miss Philippines crowned as Miss Universe 2015

This is our 3rd Miss Universe from the Philippines ~ Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

Film: Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)

Directed by : Leigh Whannell
Produced by : Jason Blum, Oren Peli, James Wan
Written by: Leigh Whannell
Starring : 

Dermot Mulroney as Sean Brenner
Stefanie Scott as Quinn Brenner
Angus Sampson as Tucker
Leigh Whannell as Specs
Lin Shaye as Elise Rainier

I’m not a fan of horror movies, but the three installments of the Insidious movies are definitely my favorite especially the very first film. I’m not also the type who can easily get scared by horror films, but this one has that scary factor, enough to make me scream. I cannot count in my fingers on how many times I screamed in the whole duration of the movie. Haha! I’m not scared like you know, scared. But it has, uhmm... what do you call it? I cannot even find the perfect words to describe the movie. LOL. When I watch a horror film, I can easily move on and forget all about it after watching it. Because the more you think about it, the more you get scared. Do you get what I mean? LOL. I’m practically saying the word “scared” over and over again.

Anyway, let’s go back to Insidious: Chapter 3, the movie is actually a prequel of the first two installments of Insidious movies. It's about the story of the teenager Quinn Brenner, who wanted to contact the spirit of her mother, who died a year ago, through the retired parapsychologist Elise Rainier. Elise doesn't want to use her psychic ability anymore because of some “reason” which I don’t want to tell here, you have to find it yourself. LOL! So after Quinn's visit to Elise, she started seeing a mysterious man which led her to an accident. And that basically started her journey with the demon. Journey with the demon talaga?! wtf!

The story's okay and I kinda like it. Like I said, the terror factor was enough to entertain me and enough to make me scream. The demon was very scary and ugly. And oh, I have to say, good job to the one who did the sound effects! LOL. That was pretty scary and I get surprised every time the sound turns to something like when the demon has to show up. I hope you get what I mean. And about the acting, the characters are pretty good in acting their roles I have no complaints about it.

Oh, before I end this “movie review”, I have to say that the lead actress, Stefanie Scott is so pretty she resembles Selena Gomez and Miranda Kerr and also the Filipina actress Coleen Garcia.

3 out of 5 stars!

"Aka-chan" ♥

Hey, guys!! As usual, nawala na naman ako sa blogsphere. Lels. It's November already!!!

Anyway, there's nothing much to say naman. Aside from I got myself a new laptop! Yay for me! And huhu for my savings. Actually, there was not in my plan to purchase a laptop last Friday. Biglaang shopping lang `yun. I was just going to canvass a laptop since humingi ako ng opinion sa dalawang kaibigan ko. Yes, I really wanted to have a laptop of my own. The one I was using was my sister's at medyo nakakaasar na kasing gamitin `yun. Not sure if I've talked about it here before, pero isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit ako tinatamad magsulat, eh, dahil sa laptop ng ate ko. Nakakainis kasing gamitin. So going back to the laptop I bought last Friday, nagtitingin-tingin lang ako sa SM Cyberzone sa Cubao ng laptop no'n hanggang sa ma-entice ako sa Acer laptop na sinasabi ni ateng sales lady don sa Asianic. Sale sila nung araw na `yun. And I had my credit card with me that day. Before ako, mag-purchase,  I texted my mudra and ate to get their opinion. Sabi ni ate, kung kaya ko raw bayaran, edi go ako. Sabi naman ni mudra, para daw sipagin ako magsulat, I should go for it. So `ayun nga, hindi na ako masyadong nag-dalawang-isip. Affordable naman `yung lappy. I just have to sacrifice my budget for gym-ing. LOL! `Wag naman. Magagawa ko `yan ng paraan. Hehe.

So since I already got a new laptop, I wish and hope na mas ganahan na ako ngayong magsulat ng nobela. Imagine na kahit isang manuscript ay wala akong natapos ngayong taon na 'to? At matatapos na ang 2015! tsk tsk! I really need to write more novels and have more approved novels for next year! Hashtag ambisyosa. Oo. Kelangan talaga `yan. I have to earn and save money so I could go to Japan and to finally realize my dream of watching Arashi's concert. I'm not sure when that's going to happen, though. For now, all I have to do is work hard and save up! Ganbarre!

Anyway, here's my new laptop, which I would fondly be calling, "Aka-chan". Aka is a Japanese word for the color "Red". And it's obvious why I named my Acer Aspire ES14, "Aka-chan". LOL. So yeah, dear Aka-chan, let's make more novels and more money! I'm counting on you! Btw, I really had a hard time looking for a Purple laptop~ I've always wanted to have one since it's my favorite color in the world! But I guess for now, we are not meant to be. I just have to settle myself with a red one. Not bad naman, right? More than the black laptop with the same model, I like this one better.

Was testing this baby out that night, I was watching One Ok Rock's 'Living Dolls" live performance on Youtube.

It's cute isn't it? *smiles*

PS : Hindi pa rin ako binabayaran nung may utang sa akin. Sabi niya bago siya manganak. Eh ang lapit na niya manganak, nganga pa rin! Jusmio! Anyway, sana bayaran na ako `no! Pang ipon din sa Japan dreams ko `yun!

That's all!

PSS Sabi ko wala akong masyadong sasabihin pero ang haba na ng entry na `to! LOL!

Film : Crimson Peak (2015)

Crimson Peak (2015)

Directed by   : Guillermo del Toro
Produced by : Guillermo del Toro, Callum Greene, Jon Jashni, Thomas Tull
Written by    : Guillermo del Toro, Matthew Robbins

Starring :

Mia Wasikowska as Edith Cushing
Jessica Chastain as Lucille Sharpe
Tom Hiddleston as Sir Thomas Sharpe
Charlie Hunnam as Dr. Alex McMichael
Jim Beaver as Carter Cushing (Edith’s father)

Crimson Peak opened in the Philippine theaters last week, October 14, 2015. And as I promised myself, I’m going to watch this film when it hit the Philippine cinemas. I did last Monday~ and I was alone. I just couldn’t wait to watch this movie because, duh! It’s a Tom Hiddleston movie! I wouldn’t want to pass up the chance of seeing this. Anyway, I was supposed to watch Crimson Peak with my friend, but she says she’s not available last weekend that’s why I decided to see the film on my own. I was afraid of not having the chance to see this film on the big screen. I heard that mall cinemas usually run the movies for a good 2-3 weeks, and it depends on how it is received by the movie goers.

By the way, when our office declared a half day because of the typhoon Lando, I went straight to Gateway Mall and was surprised to know that during Monday and Tuesday, the senior citizens of Quezon City have free movie passes. They can watch movies for free. Nice, `no? I’m not sure if it’s the same in my place. So when I entered cinema 4, I was amused at seeing senior citizens, anticipating the start of the film. I think there were only a few of us who are younger and most of the people in cinema 4 were senior citizens. I’m wondering if there’s any Tom Hiddleston fan out there aside from me. LOL!

Okay, so back to Crimson Peak, I’m not in any way a movie critic, and I cannot say that this blog entry is a movie review. I just want to encourage you guys to watch this film because it’s really great! I’m not saying this because I am a Tom Hiddleston fan, but because this film is worth seeing for. If you’re a fan of gothic, romance, horror, thriller, mystery, then I think you’d get to enjoy Crimson Peak. The story’s really nice, I kid you not. And its director is non-other than Guillermo del Toro so it’s to be expected that the film is good. The lead casts Mia Wasikowsa, Jessica Chastain, and Tom are flawless and perfect in their roles! Ahhh! I would love to see this film again!

This movie is also just right for Halloween~ and Halloween is coming, so don’t miss this! :)

Catching Up On Me (As If You're Interested.)

Hi guys!

Andami kong naiisip na ikuwento dito kaso kapag iba-blog ko na siya. Nawawala naman sa isip ko kung ano na yung dapat na isusulat ko dito. Anyway, I just want to update this blog. Wala lang. Nakaka-miss din naman kasi. Year 2013, ang sipag-sipag kong mag-blog. Biruin mong naka-93 posts ako that year? Iyon na na ang pinakamaraming entries ko dito sa ilang taon ko sa blogspot. Kahit wala naman masyadong relevance at walang sense, eh ang sipag kong mag-post. So, ano nga ba ang sasabihin ko? Okay lang naman siguro na mag-update ako rito ng kung ano-ano lang. Alam ko naman konti lang napapadpad dito. Lels.

So okay...let' start.

In the past months, I haven't written anything on the manuscript I was supposed to finish since the start of this year  (and I assume that people who follow this blog already knew about this because I've been saying this for a couple of times). I don't know, parang nawala talaga ako nang gana magsulat. I'd like to think na effect ito ng pagkahibang ko sa ONE OK ROCK lalo na kay Takahiro Moriuchi. LOL. I'm busy fangirling over them that I don't have time for something else. Iba talaga ang mag-fangirl, eh. Marubdob. Haha. Tanda ko noong nagsisimula pa lang ako sa Arashi, as in tinamad din ako magsulat no'n. Well, aside from the other issues I had before. At gano'n din no'ng 2011 when I was starting fangirling over Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK). Masyado akong busy sa fandom at puro sila ang inaatupag ko. Hehe. That's really not nice for my "writing" career, as if I have any. Chos. I have a few readers siguro. Mga less than ten. But I don't think they really follow me, or should I say follow my works. I'm not looking for or wanting fame or anything like that. I write because I wanted to. For self satisfaction, I guess? Since I was in my teens, I've always loved reading romance novels and I wanted to write one, someday. A few years later, I achieved that, it was a dream come true. At this point, I already have four published novels.

Ano pa ba ang gusto kong i-achieve bukod sa maging jowa si Taka? LOL. 

Pero ano nga ba ang punto ko rito? Hmm.. siguro, nawala na rin `yung drive ko magsulat since na-achieve ko na `yung pangarap na makapagsulat ng libro. Ang dami kong mga plano no'ng hindi pa ako nakakapag-publish ng libro. Gusto ko nang ganito, ganyan. Pero kapag inisiip ko ngayon, parang hindi ko siya kayang gawin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. I've always had self-doubt in my capabilities. Aside from that, I don't have enough time to write. I have a regular day job, 8am-5pm and kahit na i-try ko magsulat kapag nakauwi na ako sa bahay hindi ko na talaga keri. As in sabog na ang utak ko no'n at wala na akong maisip. At ngayon naman, I go to the gym every after work. Mas late na ako nakakauwi ng bahay, so for sure, wala na rin akong time magsulat pa on weekdays. Even on weekends, kasi I'm super busy. Tapos iyon nga, like I always said, nawawalan na talaga ako ng gana. Kahit nga magbasa ng libro kinatatamaran ko na rin. Dati ang sipag-sipag kong magbasa ng libro. Ngayon, wala. Nganga! If there's one thing I'd like to get back to, it's my passion for reading books. Nakaka-miss din naman talaga. I have lots of books on my to-read list and ang daming pending. Hindi lang yung mismong libro, pati ebooks ang daming kailangan ko nang basahin. I wish I could find time to read again. Hopefully. And yeah, at the back of mind, I still want to get back to writing. I don't think I've said it here before, I'm a contract writer of PHR since last year and siyempre nakakahiya rin naman na for this year, wala man lang akong kahit isang naipasang manuscript sa kanila. Kahit walang nag-aabang ng libro ko, masarap pa rin naman sa pakiramdam iyong may published kang libro. I guess, lahat naman ng writer o nangangarap maging published writer ay ganoon ang feeling. Well, hopefully, I could get my groove back. Makapagsimula ng isang bagong kuwento. Kahit hindi na muna `yung kay Yuan at Cassie. I'm not sure when it will happen, maybe next year? I wissshhhh!

Anyhoo...

Kung meron mang magandang nangyari sa akin so far, this year, it's the fact that I'm losing weight. Yaaaay! Magbunyi! It has been a struggle for me for years. Pero ngayong taon ko lang na-achieve. Haha! Nakakatuwa lang. And I love that I'm seeing good results from my hard work. Sobrang nakakapagod magpapayat, but as they say, NO PAIN, NO GAIN. Super enjoy ko talaga ang workout ko na boxing. It's the kind of workout that I enjoyed from the rest I've tried before like aerobics, zumba etc. Iba `yung feeling ng boxing for me! Aside from losing weight, I can feel that I'm getting stronger. So kapag may nakaaway ako, puwedeng-puwede ko nang jombagin at siguradong tulog! Chos lang! Hindi naman ako palaaway na tao.

And here's a proof that I at least shed a few pounds.

 You see that?! You see that?!! Damn! I look good! Lels. I'm gonna post a whole body picture next time and the difference between my former majubis body versus the body I have now. I still have a long waaaay to go cause right now, I cannot say that I've already achieved the body I've always wanted. Candice Swanepoel ang peg ko! Hashtag ambisyosa. Wahahaha! Pero malay naman natin, di ba? By January 2016 super sexy na ako! hashtag ambisyosa to the nth power.

'Till next chika!! :)

The Way Back (Japanese version) ~ ONE OK ROCK

I honestly am not sure if I like this new OOR song or not, The Way Back. It really reminds me of "Sick Sad Little World" of Incubus from their 2004 album A Crow Left of The Murder. Though, it does not sound entirely alike the Incubus song, I mean, how should I say it? Some guitar parts are kind of similar. You be the judge. But it's nice to know that this song has a Japanese version. This is the kind of OOR that we know. Okay, they have full English songs from the way back, but still, it has the JRock vibe, that ONE OK ROCK signature. Do you get what I mean? But in the 35xxxv album? They sound like any other American bands out there.

Anyways, I've also said this to my friend, I'm not really happy about ONE OK ROCK venturing into the US market, but if they like it, then as a fan, all I can do is to support them if that makes them happy. I just hope that they would not forget their usual stuff. I love their old sound and style. It is the ONE OK ROCK we got to love. I know that a band needs to evolve as it is part of a band's growth, but sometimes it does not turn out in a good way. Okay, people, these are just my opinion and I don't speak for the whole fandom. I know most of the fans are okay with their change. Well, that's their preference and yeah, to each his own.



Btw, this is Incubus' Sick Sad Little World

So what do you think?

PS : It's my dad's 67th birthday today~ happy birthday, daddy!!! Love you and miss you! ♥

Heneral Luna (2015)

Mga kapatid, suportahan po natin ang dekalibre na pelikulang #HeneralLuna. Huwag po nating palampasin ang pagkakataon na mapanood ito. 

Every aspect of the movie was great! Wala talaga akong masabi sa galing ng lahat ng mga taong involve sa paglikha ng obra-maestrang ito! -- posted from my instagram.

To be honest, I'm not the type who watches Filipino movies in theaters, especially the ones we usually see these days. I'm not a fan of the Philippine entertainment in majority since I find the business "walang kuwenta", etc. But this film, made me think that there is still hope for the Filipino movie industry. If you are a Filipino and you haven't watched this film, go ahead and find the nearest cinema in your place! Don't miss the chance of seeing this brilliant film that has ever made in years. It is absolutely amazing. As I've said, the whole aspect of this film-- from the script, cinematography, CGIs, actors, costume, music, director are superb! You definitely can't miss this film, okay? And I wanna say thank you to all the screenwriters, producers and the director who made this wonderful movie. Ginising ng  Heneral ang pagiging makabayan ko. :)

I'm actually going to see this film at the cinema for the third time later. And I haven't done that in any movies before. So this is the first time I'm going to support a movie with all the courage I could give. Haha! Well, I super love Heneral Luna and it's definitely worth supporting for. 

ONE OK ROCK PULP ROYALTY

Update!


I got to snag a Pulp Royalty ticket to ONE OK ROCK Live in Manila concert! Yay! I was supposed to be blogging about it last week, but got too lazy to write anything here. As always. I'm lazy as fuck. I know. Anyway, as I was saying, I got the chance to purchase the ticket that I've been wanting to have since the very first day Amuse Inc. announced that OOR will be having an Asian tour next year! You don't know how much stress I was under during those times. It was the most stressful experience I had in my whole fangirl life ever. It was more stressful than being in the "Hunger Games" with Arashi's DVD or album preorders.

Anyway, I really want the Pulp Royalty ticket. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but listed below are the perks you'll be getting if you're a PR ticket holder :

* VIP ticket
* free PULP magazine
* free official autographed concert poster
* free souvenir PULP ROYALTY ID
* priority queue for only PULP ROYALTY
* first entry to venue
* first entry to event bowl
* free baggage service
* meet & greet with the band with a photo opportunity

The last one on the list is the one I really wanted the most. The fucking MEET & GREET! It's not everyday that I get to see them or meet them, so basically, as a fan, I want to meet the band, face to face. Touch them. hug them, smell them, kiss them. LOL! But yah know? Who wouldn't want to get the chance when the opportunity is presented to you? I did all my best to get the ticket and I'm so happy that I did! I also want to thank my fandom friends who gave me tips and well who helped me in their own little way. And of course, I also want to say that, I got my PR ticket fair and square. I got money and I paid and I did everything. *winks* They say, if you really want it, you'll find ways!

Now, I can relax, sleep peacefully and wait for January! Thank you so much, Papa God for this!

Arashi : 5x16

To my very first fandom (yeah, I consider them my first fandom coz they are the first group I fangirl so hard.) ~ Happy 16th anniversary,#Arashi -sama!!! No need for overly dramatic message (I've been doing that for 5 years) , stay awesome. Thank you so much for making us happy through the years! Someday, I'm gonna see you guys live... I swear! I ♡ YOU!!!

#ONEOKROCKLiveinManila

JFC! `Till now I can't believe that my favorite JRock band is going to perform live in the Philippines next year for the 2016 "35xxxv" ASIA TOUR! Omigossssh! Like, hello. Who would have thought that they would hear the fans' petition? It felt like I'm just dreaming. They are finally coming here in my country! OMG. I was jumping around the bed with my phone in my hand when I was reading the update / announcement yesterday from Amuse Inc. Asia's Facebook page. I'm finally going to see ONE OK ROCK-sama!! Gahd, I'm willing to do everything and anything just to see them and meet them in person, in flesh!! Especially my dearest Takahiro Moriuchi. Oh, My God! Face to face with TAKA. Imagine that. Ugh. I think I'm gonna die on the spot!

Yes, like I said, I'm gonna score the VIP ticket with the ROYALTY inclusion of Meet & Greet with the band. Good luck to me!

Can't wait to see my loves! ♥

Post Birthday Celebration with College friends.

Bihira kaming makumpleto ng mga kaibigan ko. Well, kulang pa rin kami ng isa dahil may sore eyes yung isang friend namin kaya hindi nakasama. Okay lang `yan. At least nairaos namin yung post birthday celebration ko. Hihi.

We had a karaoke party in Music Match at sa totoo lang, nakakadismaya ang food nila. Hindi ako natuwa. Tho, okay-okay yung MM platter nila. At nakakainis na hindi updated ang songs nila. Kainis lang. Yung mga gusto kong kantahin, wala.

Wala na bang ibang malapit na videoke / karaoke place somewhere in Cubao or Ortigas?

Happy 32nd birthday MatsuJun!

Happy 32nd birthday to the greatest love of my life ~ Matsumoto Jun !!! Wishing you all the best in the world (as always)! Thank you for keeping me happy for the last 10 years! If I had not known you or Arashi, I'd probably gone crazy with boredom. LOL! Just want to let you know that even if I'm fangirling over with the other guys, I'll always be your girl and you're always be my favorite man in the world! I love you forever!

29. OMG.

Off to watch Attack on Titan yesterday.
OOTD : Shirt from Cosmic Concept Manila, Shorts from Bench,
Shoes from Vans and ONE OK ROCK 35xxxv tour bag.

Holy cow! I'm effin' 29 already! wtf. I'm almost an ahjumma = middle age woman. LOL.

I'm 29 and yet I feel like 19.

I thank all the people who remembered to greet me last Saturday. And I don't want to sound melodramatic because I've already done that on my IG post. And I've also said my wishes and that's to have a stronger relationship with God--- it's still the most important thing for me. God knows how much I wanted that to happen.

I'm not wishing for a life partner or a boyfriend or anyone to date. If God is willing to give me a man in my life, then I'd be happy. If it's not in His plans, I'm also very thankful to Him. That means our Lord have a better plan for me and He knows best. And I trust Him with everything.


But yeah, I also want to have a stable career and have a better future. And I hope to find what my purpose in life is.

Thank you everyone! I love you all!

Hello August 2015!

It's the time of the year~ my birth month and so is MatsuJun's. I'm not sure if I'll get excited or what. This will be the last year I'm in my 20s. Shucks! I'm so old. wtf. Time really does fly so fast. I just hope good things will come when I reached my 29th year of existence. LOL.


But... It's already half of the year and I haven't finished a single manuscript. Like seriously, I'm too lazy to finish the MS I was writing a few months back. I think I have stopped writing for more than two months now. And I'm not sure if I'll ever get my groove back again. This has happened to me for years, but this will be the first time that a manuscript took me more than five months to finish it... but I haven't even finished Yuan and Cassie's story which I have started writing since December of last year. I got fed up with the story and I don't know. I think if you write something you really don't believe in, it's really hard for the writer to have the characters a happy ending. LOL. Maybe I'm just making excuses. WTF. But seriously, it's like naumay na ako sa story na sinusulat ko. I was thinking that maybe I should start writing a different story and leave the Yuan's story until the time comes I've decided to let him have his happy ending. Anyway, I have posted his story on Wattpad. I hope readers would find time to read it or give it a chance. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be interested again to finish that story.


But then, there are times that I want to be just a reader fan. And sometimes, there's this inner voice inside me that tells me not to write anymore. But don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to be a writer, but now that I have achieved the goal of having my novel being published and seeing them in bookstores, there's a part of me that was satisfied already. That, OKAY, I have done that already, and I'm happy. What to do now? Do you get what I mean? I just find it so frustrating sometimes.


And the question right now is will I ever get back to writing again? I really hope so...


P/S I'm currently and majorly obsessed with ONE OK ROCK. It is them, that's keeping me busy aside from this Korean variety show The Superman Returns or TROS, which I will talk about in a separate post.

4th PHR Novel : A Stolen Kiss And A Love Charade

A Stolen Kiss And A Love Charade
by Yaney Matsumoto

Date Approved : October 2014
Date Released : July 15, 2015

“Hindi mo kailangang magbago para sa sa `kin, Curtis. Na-realize ko na hindi ko naman kailangan ng perfect boyfriend. Na walang standard, standard pagdating sa pag-ibig. Ang mas importante ay `yong sigurado akong mahal ako at mahal ko rin.”

Hindi inasahan ni Katrina na tutulungan siya ni Curtis—member ng famous rock band, ubod ng guwapo, talented, at sobrang sikat—upang itaboy ang isang makulit na manliligaw. Nagpanggap itong boyfriend niya, ngunit may hinihingi itong kapalit.
And then they were both involved in a kissing scandal. Ipinagkalat pa ni Curtis na girlfriend siya nito. Nagalit tuloy sa kanya ang legion of fans nito. And worst, they were calling her names! She was mad, of course, dahil wala naman iyong katotohanan. Ngunit nakiusap si Curtis na magpanggap siya bilang girlfriend nito. Maging ito pala ay may iniiwasang makulit na admirer.
Kaya pumayag na rin siya.
Oh, well, nagbabayad lang naman siya ng utang-na-loob. Iyon lang at wala nang ibang dahilan.
Ngunit bakit gano’n na lang ang epekto ng mga ngiti, titig, at pasimpleng halik sa kanya ni Curtis? Bakit parang kinikilig siya?
Posible kayang nahuhulog na ang loob niya sa lalaking mula pagkabata ay kinaiinisan na niya?

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

So after waiting for nine months! Yeah, freakin' nine months, my 4th PHR book has finally come out. I did not expect that it would be out in the market yesterday. I was really happy. Muntik ko nang makalimutan yung feeling nang may bagong release book.  And also, for the 3rd time in a row, maganda ang cover ng book ko. :) Buti hindi Kpop or Korean Actors ang nasa cover. Haha! And because I was excited to have my hands on my book, I immediately bought a copy yesterday. Napansin kong ang liit ng font sa book at talagang pinagkasya ang 30k+ word count sa 128 pages. Not sure if I'm going to be impressed or not. Oh, well, okay na rin. Magrereklamo pa ba ako? At ang napansin ko, sa teaser na nakasulat sa likod ng libro, may typo error! OMG! It's supposed to be perfect na di ba? Kasi libro na siya. But no. May error pa rin! And same with some of the words in the book. But in comparison to my previous release, the editing on this novel is much better. I honestly kinda liked it. Yep. I read the book version already! Ganoon ako kaatat mabasa yung sarili kong libro. Ininspeksyon ko kung ano ang mga nabago o pinalitan o mga typo errors.

By the way, this novel is the spin-off my first PHR novel, Tatta Hitotsu No Koi (My One And Only Love). So if you have read that, you're already familiar with some of the characters in this novel.

Curtis Feliciano : The guitarist of the rock band Vampyres. He's the resident playboy of their group. At sa lahat ng heroes na isinulat ko, siya na yata ang pinakamakulit. At siya ang worst enemy ni Katrina mula pa noong mga bata sila. He's the youngest son of Senator Javier Feliciano. Ang sabi ko noon habang isinusulat ko pa lang ang istorya na 'to, si Jared Leto ang peg ni Curtis. Well, in terms sa long hair, charisma at pagkapogi. 

Katrina Leanna Vergara : I got her name from my FB & Twitter friend. Wala lang. Nagagandahan kasi ako sa pangalan niyang Katrina Leana. Hniram ko. Anyway, Kat is an owner of a salon and day spa. And she was a former commercial model and "it" girl of the Philippines. Ang visual peg ko kay Katrina ay si Kylie Padilla. Like I said on my old post, I really find Kylie beautiful. At no'ng isinusulat ko ang nobelang ito ay si Kylie ang naiisip ko kay Katrina. :) At oo nga pala, she hated Curtis Feliciano since time immemorial. XD

Supporting characters:

Jacqueline : Curtis's "crazy" ex-girlfriend. My friend requested na siya na lang daw ang kontrabida/ka-love triangle ng mga bida. So ayan, siya ang extra sa nobelang ito. XD

Radley : the drummer of Vampyres and Curtis's friend.

Drew : the bassist of Vampyres and Curtis's friend.

Shinji and Erika : Ang mga bida sa nobelang Tatta Hitotsu No Koi. Shinji is the vocalist of Vampyres at fiancee naman nito si Erika.

Miss Loraine : Manager ng Vampyres

Cha-Cha : Ang misteryosang personal assistant ni Drew.

Oh... If you've been reading my books, may ginawa akong cross over sa story na 'to. Chef Jaeden Lagdameo and his bar and restaurant was mentioned in this novel. Hihi.

I hope you could grab a copy of this book!  And any reactions upon reading the novel will be very much appreciated. Kahit violent reaction pa `yan, keri lang. But I hope you'll get to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you! ♥
