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.

TRIVIA

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! ♥

Miss USA 2015 is Olivia Jordan!

Hello~ it's been a while. I thought, it's time to post something here since it is July already.

Anyway, the blog today is about the recently concluded Miss USA 2015 which was held yesterday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Fifty-one girls from different states battled for one crown. And the emerging winner, as most of the pageant fans have predicted, is the girl from Oklahoma, Olivia Jordan! Yay! I actually liked her from the start for the crown. And I watched the recorded video on YouTube and I must say that Olivia Jordan is totally a deserving winner. She was also the best in the Q & A portion which some of the girls in the top 5 stumbled with their answers. So, yeah~ I was really happy that she got to win the crown.

And oh, btw, she was actually the representative of the United States in the Miss World pageant back in 2013. They say that it's the first time an American held both titles Miss World United States and Miss USA and be able to compete in both pageants. I'm hoping for the best for her in the upcoming Miss Universe 2015 pageant! :)

She's the classic all-American girl! Congratulations Olivia Jordan!
