Smallville's Season 6 Premiere


I found out that Smallville's season premiere will be out this thursday, september 28...I couldn't wait!!!

I heard that there will be another love triangle blossoming....the lex/lana/clark and the lana/clark/chloe triangle will be replaced by the Clark/Lois/Ollie triangle...hmmm...So, Lois, who will it be... the Emerald Archer or the Man of Steel?


"And one other thing: You're not working with me, you're working for me. I call the shots, I ask the questions. You are low man, I am top banana. Comprende?" -- Lois Lane

I Hate That I Don't Hate You!!!

Don't you sometimes just want to scream out of frustration whenever you feel that you're right and your better half doesn't give in? Don't you feel that life is just so unfair and women are really from Venus and men are from Mars?

It's funny how we sometimes get so angry at ourselves for wanting so much to fight for what we think is right but then we try to stop ourselves from doing it because of the fear of having to undergo too much drama or having to drain ourselves of too much frustration knowing that nobody will ever give in (especially when you're at the heat of the argument)? Instead, we count to ten, breathe in, breathe out, and wait.....

Thing is, technology has taught us to become so impatient! Cellphones, SMS, and other devices have made things easier for us, but it has also created a sort of 'need for emergence' (whether important or otherwise)...we want answers NOW! ASAP!

I love K dearly...but sometimes, there are things that women and men will never understand and we just have to leave it at that...and maybe, because of that love that I have for him, I cannot find it in my heart to hate even a nail in his body.

The other day, I was watching 10 Things I Hate About You and I remember the poem that Kat (how ironic) wrote for her school project...I just want to share it to all my friends who are caught up in a relationship...this poem just goes to show that there is no such thing as a perfect couple...that there will always be things that we will not be liking about our partners, but then it would not matter because in the end, we will still love them no matter what happens...it is true that people are superficial and that people want perfection, but when it comes to the one you love, the bucket of tears you cry, the number of sleepless nights, the million times you'd have press cons with your friends would never matter...believe me...


I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.
I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Surreal...

It's going to be a surreal moment for me later. For the first time, I will be going to Pier One, as usual for UNITY's tuesday gig but this time, as a spectator..

I'm still feeling a little iffy whether I'm going or not, but I have to. I have to make sure that the transition runs smoothly. I have faith in the new vocalist, Melanie. I heard she sings well...and she's pretty, so I feel safe and secured that Unity won't be having a hard time adjusting..

Breathe Kat...every thing's going to be ok....it's really really sinking in now..wait....not yet...oh well...tomorrow is another day.

...with Mondo of Pinup Girls

My New Hairdo!!!

I was a little skeptic to have my haircut awhile ago...I have had my hair long for four years already and I just had it permed recently....but then, I have been encountering a lot of changes lately so, what the heck...might as well have it done...who knows, right?

Surprisingly, I'm getting the hang of it...Kim loves it....that's all that matters. =)

Parokya Ni Edgar, Winston, and More Thank You's.....

Yesterday, I hosted the Winston In Concert Series: Wings Tour 2006 with Mondo at Xander's Bar, Ortigas. Parokya Ni Edgar was the featured band last night.

I love Parokya Ni Edgar..I practically know the lyrics to all their songs and whenever I host the Winston series (this is my 3rd year now) and Parokya is the featured band, I get so excited because of Chito's spontaneity and their great songs...

I had the surprise of my life when Chito suddenly called me and serenaded me with my favorite song, HARANA...and with the song, was a cake from Winston and PAPS Productions...I was so elated! I was in cloud nine again last night. It was a very touching moment for me (pictures to follow!!!) Imagine, one of my favorite bands, singing my favorite song, FOR ME!!! Wow!!!! I was speechless!!!

Last sharing....I felt elated too that there were so many people who wanted to take pictures with me...for a moment there, I felt like I was a star...it was a great way of ending a great night...that's it!!! I'm never going to quit hosting!!! Hahaha!!!!

For Girls Only!

Got this text from Miki...it was so true that I had to write it in my blog...thanks ching...

Only our girl friends understand:

  1. Emergency calls at 2 in the morning.
  2. No matter how many times we watch the same tear jerker, we'll always weep in some scenes.
  3. Why shopping is always therapeutic.
  4. Why we have to go to the bathroom in groups.
  5. Why we can leave anything and everything at home except for our cellphone and vanity kits.
  6. Why we feel naked without our earrings.
  7. How we could spend the whole day together and still have tons to talk about on the phone.
  8. That boyfriends come and go but REAL FRIENDS...they will never leave your side..

Moments of Love


I've decided to watch this movie for the second time. To be honest, I have also been an avid fan of Tagalog movies (especially the ones from Aga Mulach, Regine Velasquez and yes, my secret idol, Sharon Cuneta)

The story is about two people who have met through a weird circumstance by a phone conversation. Love sparks...so they decide to meet only realizing that they are living in 2 totally different eras of time. They are 49 years apart to be exact--Divina, who lives in the year 1957, and Marco in 2006. They made a promise that one day, on March 29, 2006, they will meet again..

I loved the story. I loved the concept of the movie. I loved the way the main actors portrayed their parts..in my opinion, they fit the role perfectly. This is the kind of movie that I would want to watch all over again. And everytime I do watch it, I know that I will be consuming a lot of Kleenex.

There was a conversation in the end that really made me think. It made me wonder whether this kind of love was just possible in the movies, or maybe, just maybe, for hopeless romantics like me, yes, there may be a little chance of hope that it may be possible.

After 49 years of waiting, Divina told Marko this line: "Destiny dictates everything that happens in this world. Even in LOVE. LOVE is blind to TIME...LOVE SEES NO END...Countless things can happen as time takes its course. But only one thing endures...LOVE."

To all my single friends, and to those who have been waiting for 'the one', here is something I learned from the movie: You shouldn't get tired of waiting, because you know in your heart that he or she will come. And you will love each other for the rest of your days. Some call it choice...but mostly its DESTINY.

Happy Birthday BabyBoy!!!!!

You're a year older Baby...but every year, you have touched people's lives and have added a lot of great memories to the people close to you because of your mere presence in this world.

Thanks for your patience...thanks for the love...

My wish is for you to be happy because you deserve it..I will love you forever...even if your tummy gets bigger and bigger everyday... =)

The Truth About Being TRUTHFUL

It really is true that 'the truth will set you free'...

It really helps if you vent out all your questions, your qualms, your confusions to someone that you trust..

I received a text awhile ago (thanks Miki) and it struck me again like lightning..."There are FRIENDS who destroy each other, but a REAL friend sticks closer than a brother...

And if you are a Smallville fan, you'd know that Lex Luthor would repeatedly say that "You should keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

A few days ago, I opened up to a friend about something that has been bothering me for the past months already. And because I have been keeping it to myself, I have had questions that have been unanswered. I am very thankful for that conversation because it lifted a heavy burden in my heart (thank you Coline)

Apologies were made...and I'm wishing that they were accepted...

Still, I know that this is not yet the end...I feel bad that I may have destroyed a friendship that has been built for years. Now I am realizing that even if you mean well...that even if you try doing the right thing, there are still consequences. I feel a certain relief for being truthful about some things, but I also feel a tinge of guilt that my truthfulness destroyed or should I say created a rift among friends.

Now I'm starting to wonder if I did the right thing or if I should have kept my mouth shut...

Again, I am back in this familiar place called limbo...

Sinking In...

It's starting to sink in...less than a week from now, I will be having a total change in my life...

Every song I sing now has more meaning...every melody enters straight to my heart..

Involuntary tears run down my face...

The stage is my place of solace...I am who I am...

I fear the thought of crossing over..the afterlife is still vague...it scares me.

Help...

Wanted: Universal Remote Control


Yesterday, before meeting up with K, I decided to go to metrowalk and check out the new DVD selections..being the loser that I am, I haven't seen the movie, "Click" yet. So, I purchased one (including seasons 1 and 2 of Grey's Anatomy--thanks to Caz, she has convinced me that it's worth the watch..and since I've finished my Smallville marathon, I needed to keep myself busy during the wee hours of the morning).

There I was, in my bedroom, 12midnight (just after my CSI Supreme Sunday marathon at AXN), wondering what to do next....I almost forgot I had my new DVDs. I popped the Adam Sandler movie in my player, got myself some movie-theater-butter popcorn, made myself comfortable in my favorite corner of my room and started the movie.

Here is a snippet of what the movie is about...I got this from Yahoo! Movies...

A workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favor of his career, comes across a universal remote that allows him to perform TiVo-like functions on his life, such as pausing events or fast-forwarding over them. When the remote begins creating its own memory and choosing what to fast-forward over, the man sees how much of his personal life has passed him by and realizes the importance of spending more time with his family.


I have been a fan of Adam Sandler eversince, from Happy Gilmore to The Wedding Singer to 50 First Dates...he really cracks me up with his funny antics and witty toilet humor. It was also fun watching some of the cast of his old movies portray funny parts. Of course, Rob Schneider was there in a bit role as the funny Arabian prince, Sean Astin (who was Doug, Drew Barrymore's brother in 50 First Dates) played a part too...

I cried laughing my brains out and at the same time, I cried because the movie touched my heart and made me realize how we should grasp and cherish and appreciate every experience that life has to offer. Yes, sometimes, we'd wish that we could own a universal remote control that would just fast forward all the crappy moments of our life..and sometimes we'd wish that we could just pause all the moments that we feel our happiest. But the movie just made me realize that God gave us the free will to decide on what we want to undergo in our lives. And with those choices are consequenses. All we have to do is savor each moment, whether good or bad, and hope that something will be learned through that experience.

This movie is a must see. I reccommend this to the workaholics out there, to those who are stuck with their routine, and to my friends who feel that their life is full of drama. After the movie, you will start to realize that the drama we experience, the storms that come our way--they're just preparation for something brighter...something that you'll know is worth it in the end. Be patient..we don't need to fastforward our lives because you'll never know what you're gonna miss.

Natural High!!!

No offense to some people I know but if you really want to be happy, and if you want to have a great time, natural high is still the best...of course, with a little help of my Winston lights and beer...hahaha!!!!



Miki Maus!! Thanks for the pictures!!!

Adrian's Birthday

Another unforgettable birthday party!!! Happy birthday Aids....thanks for the friendship...stay happy always....







hehehe...one comment though...of all these three pictures, I don't see Adrian...Aids? Aids?????

Goodbye and Hello....

September 21 is a very memorable day for me....for starters, it's a reminder that I'm getting a year older (bummer...)...but, I believe that I have had the best 20 something years of my life! It was one hell of a ride but the view was breathtaking. I stumbled so many times but I would like to believe that I have managed to stand up again amidst all the trials that have been trying to push me further down...God has been so good to me! I am thankful for all the happiness and trials, for all the joy and the pain, for all the love that I gained as well as the love that I lost...

September 21 will also be my formal announcement to my close friends, loved ones, and supportive following of my carreer that I will be saying goodbye to singing. Permanently? I still don't know. All I know is that this is one decision that I had to make not for myself but for the people that I love the most...and I know that this decision of mine will make them very proud.

It still breaks my heart that I will be giving up my passion...this is something that I have dreamt of since I was in my toddler years I guess. But I am still thankful to the Lord that He gave me that chance to fulfill my dream. Now it's time for me to move on and think of what's best for my loved ones.

So now, I'm saying goodbye. Goodbye to the 4 years of great memories..Goodbye to my dream of our album turning platinum...Goodbye to my funky boots and attire that I can only wear during my shows...Goodbye to the heartwarming notes I get from our avid followers...Goodbye to UNITY....

Tomorrow will be another day...I am looking forward to saying hello to my future...hello to the new people I will get to work with...hello to a new life with Kim...hello to a better relationship with my family...hello to my future children...

My life hasn't stopped...it's only the end of another chapter...I can't wait to write the next one..I will keep you posted.

To My Very Own Clark Kent.....

This past year was very rocky for K and I...but we have managed to surpass all the storms that went our way. We celebrated our 2nd year anniversary 3 weeks ago and that just made me realize that there's no one in the world I want to be with but K...he is everything to me. It sounds super cheesy but it's true. We hardly see each other but everytime I close my eyes, he is still there. (So to all the people trying to break us up--you know who you are, you pitiful souls--better try harder coz we're unbreakeable)

I'm a fan of smallville and there was a song there by lifehouse that describes how K is to me....every word speaks about how I feel right this very moment..(ok, ok, I will not take credit for discovering the song...it was actually CJ who made me listen to it and the moment I heard it, I fell in love with the song instantly..so there, CJ, the credit is yours..hahaha)

Everything (Lifehouse)

Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That is leading me to the place where I find peace again
You are the strength that keeps me walking
You are the hope that keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
You are my purpose
You are everything
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this
You calm the storms
You give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won’t let me fall
You steal my heart and you take my breath away
Would you take me in
Would you take me deeper now
’cause you’re all I want
You are all I need
You are everything, everything

Marvin's Birthday

I'm happy that Marvin decided to spend his birthday during our show at Pier One Roxas Blvd. We had a blast...I heard there's a part 2 later at Pier One Morato...I can't wait!

I'm also happy that I have friends that remind me of how lucky I am that I am blessed with so many talents. They keep me grounded and they are so supportive of all my decisions, no matter how hard they are. And when I'm at the brink of giving up, and when I think that life is really giving me a crappy time, they are there to remind me of how great this rollercoaster ride is. When I am with them, I am reminded also that I don't need to put my life on hold for anybody or anything because I am the captain of my ship and that I should be determining my own happiness...














Kami nAPO Muna....


I went to visit my Magic jock friends yesterday at the station. Actually, I've been spending a lot of time with them lately and it feels good to reconnect again with old friends, and meet new ones.

I was at Eastwood last saturday to hang with them and to watch South Border's farewell show before they left for the states. As usual, they rocked the house. Eastwood's central plaza was jampacked with people so we decided to chill in front of the Magic booth right across fusion. They had couches there, so it was quite comfy hanging there with my close friends. I'm glad that I was able to meet mojo jojo, mighty mike and of course, DJ Kimosabe (i'm not so sure with the spelling of his name...i don't care...I love hiphop!) I'd like to give special mention to CJ...he's my new little brother. For some reason, he chose to call me ATE KAT (surprisingly, I didn't mind although it really was an eye opener to me that I am getting old!)

I was so happy yesterday that I received a gift from CJ....my very own Kami nAPO Muna cd!!!!! I love Orange and Lemons' version of Yakap Sa Dilim, Kamikazee's version of Doo Bidoo, Barbie's version of When I Met You, Top Suzara's Anna, Moonstar88's Panalangin, and The Dawn's version of Bawa't Bata.

I am not really a fan of the Apo but I love the way that the bands of our generation put a twist on these legendary songs that have been part of everybody's history...some bands just played safe with the songs but most of the bands really made the songs their own...it was amazing!!! Kamikazee rocked with their own version (although I don't think lolo Danny, Bubuy and Jim are ecstatic about it...hahaha!)

The CD is definitely worth buying!!! Thanks to CJ for the cd!!!
