Kristen Kerida

If you are a stupid hopeless romantic who lives under a rock totally unaware of gossip and such, you'd find this cute.

But if you know media all too well, then you'd recognize that woman is one half of a very powerful Hollywood couple.

Yes, folks. Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson. I never thought I would say this, but I feel bad for the bloke.

This is the guy she had a fling with whilst being with Rob, Snow White and the Hunstman director Rupert Sanders.

...Who happens to be married to hip actress, Liberty Ross(who had a small role playing Snow White's--played by KRISTEN--mom in the film).

This scandal is HUGE; until now people are still talking about it. What I liked, though, was Kristen and Robert Rupert both apologized for what they have done. I hope for the best for them and their loved ones! :D

Cheers to Love

Cheers to the fact that I am in denial about still liking you

Cheers to the sleepless nights I get just thinking about you

Cheers to the times I’ve done things for you but you never even seem to care

Cheers to the disappointment I feel whenever your big brown eyes ignore me when I’m around

Cheers to that shitty feeling I get knowing you’ll never like me as much as you like her

Cheers to the tears I shed because of these

Seriously. Cheers to fucking love

What The...?

How could a girl go from this...

To this?

 Her name is Courtney Stodden. What makes this girl a bit worthy for me to write about is that this girl is only 17 YEARS OLD. Yes. She is 17 and trotting around like a porn star. I know Taylor Momsen gets backlash for dressing similarly, but at least I love her and she isn't a baby bride.

"Seriously. What's the big deal about how I dress anyway?"

 If the evolution of her looks wasn't shocking enough, she is actually married to a guy 34 YEARS her senior. Gah. These pictures speak for themselves.

 Apparently, her parents gave their consent when she got married at 16. If that is not quetionable enough then I don't know what is. Call me crazy, but if her parents allow it and if it was abide the law, well, good for this chick to get married at 16.

 But still, it is kinda weird to be a parent and see your kid make out like this let alone if she's still a teenager.

 Great. More reasons to question the kids of my generation. :P

School Sucks But Crushes Crush More

Sorry for the lack of updates. School is obviously making me more busy than summer ever did to me. But forgive me if my first post in weeks will sound like a whiny one.

Okay, so I hate it. I hate my classmates and I question the ones I consider my friends there. Academically, I'm doing okay but I could do better. 18/35 in a quiz is technically a fail for me. I remember during my first day of school, I had so much homework to do that I had to sleep at 1 AM that night. Also, there goes being the smartest in class last year: I'm classmates with other honor roll students so the competition is tough if I want to be ahead of them this year.

I still get bullied and I hate it that people don't take me seriously in class. It's like, when I try to talk to them decently, they say silly and annoying things or maybe they just nod like they get it when I can tell every word I tell them just escapes their ears. Ugh.

I also hate it that I am not technically batch mates let alone classmates with my friends. I can tell they feel a bit bummed about my move to another batch. I try to hang out with them as much as I can, but I somehow feel the distance already.

But what I hate the most is that I am classmates with the one guy I am trying to forget.

I had a huge crush on this guy for so long so imagine how heartbreaking it was when I had to stop liking him since I hate that he never knew how I felt and he also liked another girl. I think I've spoken about him here a few times. I tried to get over him over the summer and I succeeded....or so I thought when I first saw him in school this school year.

At first, I was a bit nervous that he would be my classmate and he actually was. Then I thought, for old time's sake, I will try to get to know this guy since I've always wanted to know what was beneath those good looks and quite demeanor. Not that I like him; I've heard too much negatives about him and I just want to know if what they say is true. He seemed like a nice guy to be friends with compared to the rowdy bullies in my class.

And he actually is. We don't talk as much as he talks to his friends more, but every exchange I had with him was relevant. I swoon over his manners. I secretly feel kilig when his name gets called in class. I look at him a lot and just like observing him(creepy, I know). I like that I managed to make him laugh or smile a few times since he looks so serious all the time. I love it when he says "Hi Gillian". My neck hairs stand when I see him look at me out of the blue.

It seems like bullies and nerds are not just the problems I expected to deal with before I entered school. It looks like my heart will be a part of them........and I don't want it to again.

Triple Movie Review! :D

I watched quite some movies over this summer and I feel like reviewing some of them. :D

1. The Runaways 

 I have always wanted to watch this movie since I've always like The Runaways' song "Cherry Bomb". Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett while Dakota Fanning plays Cherie Curie in the film. If you ask me what rating I'd give this film, I'll definitely say a 9/10. This movie met my expectations of being far from cutesy and girly by being dark and angsty.

My favorite scene? Definitely when Joan reinvents a plain white shirt by spray painting "Sex Pistols", distressing and adding safety pins to it! I love Joan's wardrobe in the film in general.

 2. Prom

 Unlike The Runaways, this is a film anyone could watch. Prom is a movie featuring stories of teens having dilemmas before their big night. Will they ever have the night of their dreams? If you have some time to catch a teen movie with an easy and predictable plot, then Prom will be your best match.

I may not be entirely sold on this movie, but I do find Nolan Sotillo's charatcer cute(and Nolan himself. lol)

3. Burlesque

This movie has received mixed reviews when it came out, but I happen to like this film! It's entertaining with the amazing musical numbers and costumes. The plot is not too bad and Christina Aguillera definitely got the pipes that rival anyone.

 Ooooh, and Cam Gigandet stars in this, too! Total eye candy! Haha!

Will You Kiss Me, Will?

I know this happened last month pa, but I can't help but state my opinion on this.

 Last month, Will Smith attended the premiere to his latest movie, "Men in Black 3" in Russia. He stopped to do an interview for a reporter when suddenly, that reporter kisses him making Will slap him on the face and walk away angry.

Of course, most people were on Will's side. I mean, if a dude suddenly kisses you, who wouldn't freak, right?

But Will is in frickin Russia. It's customary to greet someone with a kiss there, even if it's a guy to a guy. I think Will was wrong. He's in another country and should've practiced their etiquette before going there.

You can choose not to greet a person with a kiss, though, but at least say so politely instead of doing something rude and calling that person crazy(Will did this). It's a blow to anyone's ego, really.

The journalist apologized but I don't hear reports of Will ever saying sorry for slapping that poor guy. Am I the only one in the world who thinks Will should've said sorry to this Russian dude? Seriously?

Too Cool For School(mates)

School time is finally here! A groan/sigh of relief for me, really.

I love school. I may have a love/hate relationship with studying but I value school too much. But one thing is clear on what I hate about school: the people.

Yes. I hate them all. (Well, not really since I have a handful of friends naman)

Okay. I know I'm being too harsh but I always have a reason. A lot of people seem to hate me in school. I get made fun of, called names at, get harassed and the like there.(no physical abuse, though. Not that I recall of...yet).

I can't help but feel a bit nervous when I go back to school. I dealt with these people for one whole year and while I survived, I will always remember how I suffered emotional breakdowns at home since I couldn't take it anymore. The thought of wanting to be back in my old school was stamped in my head daily. Seriously, that's how bad things got in my current school.

A guidance counselor advised me that I shouldn't let these people get into my head. There will always be those people who'll bring you down when they know you are getting way ahead. I don't know why people like to spend their time bringing people down; they could just concentrate on being the best themselves, you know.

Also, he said I shouldn't move out of my current school because of these people. I achieved so much already. No matter how much I never thought of it, I still stayed strong and concentrated on my priorities than mind the treatment people gave me in school.

My friends also tell me that I should just think about who these people who tease me are. Most--if not all--are basically students with failing grades. Students who are malandi. Students who like to cut classes. Students who don't really have huge goals. Basically, students who will never, ever get out of this town.

So...in some sort of way, even if these people messed around with me, I still have the last laugh on them. They can say anything they want, but what do they have to bring to the table against ME? Doing drugs? Have 50 boyfriends? Repeated a grade level? Shame. Such a shame.

To all my haters in school, I salute you with my middle finger whilst greeting "Fuck You" to all of you.

As I type this sentence, the nervousness I felt about going back to school is suddenly turned into confidence and vengeance. Hahaha ;D

Letter To My Future Children

Dear Children,

             I am not sure about what to say to you kids. I am only a teenager from the past writing to her future children. Anyways, I kinda feel the need to mention that my internet is shitty(if this word still considered a profanity in the future, please don't use the word or I'll make you kids wash your mouth with soap). I hope that if ever you kids find this in the depths of this long forgotten blog, this was a product of  boredom. I seriously don't know what to say to you, kids. What can I say to show how much I am proud of you? How much I want the best for you? How much I love you?

Still, even if my mind is a blur, I feel like I know exactly what I want to say to you.

To my sons, if you boys ever get into sports, that would be great. May I remind you that I will be that typical soccer mom, the one who cheers for you in the bleachers AND the one who gets worried as hell(sorry) when you guys get injured. If you ever choose video game over any outdoor activity, I will ground you. So if video games might be cooler than the ones we have in this era, I won't have bug-eyed, obese game addicts for sons.

Also, please learn that regardless of how fast times will be by then, it's still in fashion to respect girls. If you guys ever introduce me to your girlfriends, expect me to welcome that bitch(again, sorry)with raised eyebrows rather than open arms. Sorry. I want a girl who's perfect for you and if I see that(translation: ME) in her, then I would want some grand-kids, please. LOLJK(Laugh Out Loud Joke. Gosh. That sounded awkward). But please, be around twenty or thirty something with a stable career, your own house and car(maybe a flying one?)when you introduce me to your gal.

To my daughters, I hope you love fashion as much as I do. But most importantly, I hope you get to appreciate style more. After all, according to Yves Saint Laurent(Google--or whatever search engine is the rage then--him) "Fashion fades, but style is eternal".  And you girls are beautiful. Don't be insecure like me. The time you spend on obsessing a flaw could've been used in trying to be perfect you you could ever be. I hope you don't wear too much makeup, too. I want naturally beautiful inside and out daughters, not cake monsters

When it comes to boys, I just hope you won't commit the same mistakes I did: fall for the wrong guy; wait for nothing to happen; act like they're you're number 1 priority, etc. But I'm not too bad: I am almost 18 and I've never had a boyfriend and as much as possible, you girls should be the same, too. I know by then, you could be two and pregnant. More 12 year old girls are getting pregnant these days, I bet fetuses will be pregnant in your time. BUT PLEASE. DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID 'KAY. SAME GOES FOR YOUR BROTHERS. MAYBE BOYS COULD GET IMPREGNATED BY A GIRL IN THE FUTURE. OH DEAR.

To you kids combined, I hope you learn how to respect me. I don't want you kids to be mad at me and treat me harshly. Maybe I'll be strict to you kids, but it's only because I want you  kids to have the kind of guidance I wish I had and the complete kind of love I wish I could feel from my parents. I will be the best mother I can be. I will work hard to grant you kids a life I've never lived growing up and I will be there also when you need me. When you need a hug. When you need advise. When you feel the need to eat some home-cook meals, I will try to be there. Always.

Also, don't laugh or make weird faces  if I play my music. I've done this to my parents when they played their groove on and thinking about it now, I would feel immensely terrible if you laugh at the music I love.

Make goals, too. I want you kids to aspire higher. please bear in mind I didn't grow up rich and only had goals to keep me going. I wish you guys--though I know I have worked enough to keep you guys from the poverty I've experienced--will have goals to keep you going, too.

Don't argue with each other, too. Establish good relationships with each other regardless of your differences. One day, your father and I will be gone and you'll have no one else to depend but each other. My Dad told my siblings and me that all the time and it's very true.

My final advise for you kids is to be happy. I want you kids to feel genuinely happy with your lives and not experience the depression I did when I was your age. It's good to be sad, but depression is another thing. Don't get sucked into it. Life is beautiful and there are a ton of things to be happy about. Flying cars! Come on!

Okay. Just kidding. But still, be happy. And follow everything I say. I don't want you kids to feel the hurt and heartache of the life I Lived when I was your age. I don't want you kids to be the worst kind my parents had to encounter when they raised me. No mother wants to see their kids fail in life. I mean, I know I'm writing this as some sort of joke, but I really mean it when I say I don't want you kids to be screw ups!

One last thing,: bet you kids are good-looking. Boys, girls and robots are probably mad about you. Thank your momma for your good genes...but mostly your Dad. ;)


With love,

Gillian Mercado Cortez-(insert last name of your father)
