thank the supreme being for melanie marquez

Thanks to Ate AnneGi for this post sa FC Y!Groups. Na-enjoy ko ito even if it contains the explicit bashing of Melanie Marquez. Hehe. Have fun.


MELANIE MARQUEZ BOO HOOS:

Guess what? Melanie Marquez is seriously thinking of writing her own book! Jonathan Chua (who is a STAR contributor) has compiled some Melanisms for inclusion in that much-awaited book. Enjoy!

>>>I won't stoop down to my level.

>>>Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep?

>>>'Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha n'yan. (when commenting about the allegation of Kris Aquino that her brother Joey Marquez has STD)

>>>E ikaw ba naman durugin ang ari mo… 'Pag di ka naman nanutok ng baril?

>>>We are lovers, not fighters.

>>>My brother is not a girl, he's a gentleman.

>>>That's why I'm a success, it's because I don't middle in other people's lives.

>>>Don't judge my brother; he is not a book! (again, another counter to the Kris-Joey scandal)

>>>Kapatid ko pa rin s'ya. We are one and the same.

>>>I don't eat meat. I'm not a carnival.

>>>Eto na po ang pinakamaligayang pasko at manigong bagong taon sa inyong lahat! (during her acceptance speech at a Metro Manila Film Festival awards night where her bioflick, directed by her late father Temyong Marquez, won an award)

>>>Sumasakit ang migraine ko!

>>>Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay!

>>>Period na talaga, wala ng exclamation point! (when asked on S-Files if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right)

>>>(at a talkshow after her break-up with Derek Dee, Melanie was asked if she had some words for Derek's mother [whom she partly blamed for the separation]). Oo nga, pero i-English-in ko para maintindihan niya. (she looked into the camera,a nd with the peremptoriness of royalty, said) And to you Mrs. Dee, I have two words for you. Ang labo mo!

>>>(when asked for a message to her daughter who was allegedly abused by their houseboy) Don't worry little angel, big angel is here!

>>>(on what they should do to the houseboy who molested her kid) He should be put behind bar!

>>>You can fool me once, you can even fool me twice, you can even fool me thrice. But you can never fool me four!

Add-ons:

>>>When it comes to fashion, it is not your problem anymore, because it is our problem anymore! (her slogan-statement in her show, Ginang Fashionista at QTV Channel 11)

>>>(at the death of her friend Chat Silayan) I hope I can use my knowledge so that her family could be together in the celestial kingdom.

From a text message: Top 8 Melanie Marquez Quotes

>>>I couldn't care a damn!

>>>What's your next class before this?

>>>Can you repeat that for the second time around once more from the top? (ulitin natin hanggang mamatay tayo!)

>>>Don't touch me not!

>>>Hello? (on the phone again) For a while, please hang yourself.

>>>You! You're not a boy anymore! You're a man anymore!

>>>Come, let's join us!

Hmm...I wonder what she would come up with next time? We actually have our own: "What are friends are for." Haha. ;)

two years apart too late

A few months ago, I saw a preview of the movie "Lake House" featuring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. I was pissed off then.

Back in October, last time I hanged out with my friends from highschool, we crashed into Anne's house to have a movie marathon and my friend, Charity, brought this Korean movie that she think we would love. After two bags of chips and one liter of Coke later, the movie was so great. As what Charity said, the ending of this movie was so great that we wouldn't ask for an explanation of how two people could love, or even communicate with each other when they are two years apart. Since we haven't heard of this movie from any of our other friends, we decided it's gonna be our own movie (now, how do you own a movie per se?). That we will never let the "sanctity" of this movie be bastardized, let alone be on the mainstream like what happened to "My Sassy Girl" (See, I only watched the first part of this Korean chick flick so I am not really into those romantic movies, unless they really fit my taste).

Once the whole world knew about it, the magic of the movie slowly evaporates until it seeps into the minds of those merely watch it for the sake of "watching it." Kinda selfish and harsh, but I believed in what Charity and the five of us (Christian wasn't there at that time) "vowed" on that day.

That's why I was pissed. A few months after I have watched this oh-so-great-Korean-movie, an American movie remake was done. Yessss.... Lake House indeed. I immediately texted Charity about it because I wasn't really happy about it. I could almost live with the fact that Sandra Bullock plays the woman, but Keanu Reeves being in it was a stretch. It seemed like he didn't fit in there at all. He is too handsome for the role (Sorry Reeves), if there's such a thing.

Two weeks ago, I received a pm from Charity. Minus the numerous curses (which is my good friend's way of saying we miss each other) and the long argument about not telling them I'll be going here in AZ, which she mentions in every letter ;), Charity finally dropped the news that got me laughing so hard that I was already teary-eyed:

"tsaka kung nghihimutok ka sa lake house na gumaya kamo sa il mare isipin mo na lang ang naramdamn ko nung nagkaroon ng filipino version nun.. starring karylle, iza calazado at dingdong dantes.. entitled, MOMENTS OF LOVE!!!!!!!

punyeta kung pwede lang maghubad sa kalsada at magrally ginawa ko na.. kapag may pera na ako ipapadala ko sayo ung movie na yun..."

Now, I rest my case.

I love you, Cha. Hehe. Don't worry, we'll do that when we are in our 50s where no one would care if we undress in the middle of the street. Hehe. At least, we could give justice to this movie even if it's 30 years late. Hahaha.

Hah, I just love my friends. :)

checklist

There are so many things a person could do in his life, that he merely thinks about which to do first and end up being sucked up into that thinking. He ends up doing nothing coz he wants to do everything perfect, which is impossible to happen. The only way for a person to do what he wants is to be spontaneous. Just go for it without thinking at all. Be a risk taker. That's how you really "live" a life.

I made up a checklist of the things I wanna do, that I hope wouldn't end up of me simply thinking about them. That it's not yet too late for me to get out of that whirlpool of daydreaming the what-should-have-beens or who should I be someday. When I was five, I usually said to myself that when I grow up I'll do his and that. I'll never let this and that happen. I will become like this and that. Well, most of those "this" and "that" never happened.

And now that I think I'm all grown up, I've lost track of those things I said before. Yet again, I hope it's not yet too late. I'm 20; all grown up, but still young to never forget.

CHECKLIST

1. Build a dog pound so that all of the stray dogs in our neighborhood will be taken care of. (A promise I made when I was like seven. Yah, kinda childish. I just remembered about it while I was walking home and saw a dog without its owner. The human brain is a real wonder. The memory of it just suddenly hit me)

2. Ride a rollercoaster (Yes, I haven't rode in one. The closest thing I could get was to a caterpillar ride back in my elementary days. Coz I get dizzy and might end up throwing up. Well, how would I know if I don't get to try it right?)

3. Be someone that my parents are going to be proud of. (How many years of your life does it take to satisfy your parents? I'm almost giving up the battle on this one. But still...)

4. Read all of the books that I bought or received from people (I'm starting on this one and have read three or four books while staying here in AZ. I have the time now so it's all good)

5. Ride on a cruise ship.

6. Have one wild ride on a hot air balloon. (Okay, drop the wild thing)

7. Be able to go to New York, Paris, Antartica, and Japan

8. Learn how to drive a car.

9. And in connection to number 8, buy my own car. (I'm thinking of either a Mustang or Convertible. And if only I have the money, maybe a Ferrari...and an armored van. Seriously. I love that "car")

10. Be published in a book.

11. Live a dream job - in context, be a successful writer, vet (wow, I can't believe I actually mentioned this), or become one of the people behind the Oprah show. Yah, very rewarding. (There still more...just can't think of 'em right now)

12. Learn to speak in Spanish, Japanese, French, and maybe Latin (seems like my language classes in College)

13. Be inside an igloo and sleep there overnight (that's why I'd like to go to Antartica hehe)

14. Join in a Go-Kart Racing.

15. Treat my closest friends to a trip somewhere for a vacation (Coz the supreme being knows how much I love my true, closest friends. They're half my life)

16. Treat my closest cousins to a trip, too. (To reminisce the good old days we had and to catch up with each other)

17. Of course, treat my parents, my brother, and my Tita Ofel to a trip somewhere toO (Or perhaps just anything that I know they would enjoy and make them happy. They're the other half of my life, and it took 20 years for me to realize and admit that)

18. Reward the people who were good to me, good to other people, and those who were never hypocrites. As well as punish those who are hypos. Yes, revenge is sweet.

19. Go to a concert of Fall Out Boy (and probably take a picture, or even meet them. I just love this band's music)

20. Help my cousin(s) to finish their studies.

21. Donate $240.00 to the Operation Smile Organization (Yes, it only takes $240.00 to give one child the smile that he or she deserves. That's like a week of my salary. I'm starting to set aside money for
this, day by day. It doesn't hurt to give back. I hope you'll do too)

22. Go back to Elbi. (UP Los Banos)

23. Attend my highschool reunion a different person, in a good way. Coz my highschool life is pretty much a big regret (except for the people I met during that time. Well, some of them)

24. Buy my own house with great interior deco. Or if I get richer, have a library, a garden, and a swimming pool/jacuzzi in it. But that's just if I get lucky.

25. Have a boyfriend (Now this is complicated. Actually, I'm not sure if I actually "need" one, if there's gonna be. I'm selfish of my time. So I guess no guy's up for that. Just included it here in case I change my mind. Just for fun :p)

26. Have an Organ Donor card

27. "Balikan si Cham-Cham," an LTS-2 student who made it clear to me how children need the attention and education they deserve to realize their full potential. A kid who made me see how lucky I am to get the education my parents worked hard for. Coz it really does pay back.

28. Be at TRL while Lindsay Lohan is hosting or the guest there hahaha. Okay, we could remove the LL part. Just wanna know the feeling of being on the set of a TV show. Such a thrill.

29. Die young (hmmm...morbid)

30. Meet Genoveva Edroza Matute (Before it's too late. Or is it already?)

31. Buy a laptop/notebook

32. Organize my CDs, VCDs, and DVDs

33. Buy my own iPod video (haha, i wish)

34. Not be a spendthrift most of the time (Now, this is hard)

35. Attend my closest friends' graduation by March of next year

36. Buy the DVD collections of my favorite tv series (I just love watching them over and over again)

37. Do a road trip with my brother

38. Do a "great" film with, or for FC

39. Create our own book launch with my LAYB peeps (Yes guys, our own book, because I believe in what we can do if we just have the time, the money, and our whole heart plunged into it. It's not that far from happening.)

40. Create my will and testament before I die (Well, actually I don't know if a Will and Testament really applies to me since I don't have any large assets to share with anybody, but there are some small yet valuable things for me that I want someone to have. It's my way of letting them know how much they meant to me. And at least before I die, I would finally speak up about what I really felt. It's like a hit-and-run thing. Whatever they'd say about it, I don't care anymore since well, I'm dead haha. And it's much better to die prepared hehe.)

I was hoping to do 50 but since I can't think of anything else, I'll stop at 40 this time.

Now, these aren't in any particular order. I just wrote whatever came to my mind. There's actually more to what are listed here. When I remember them, I'll just add it once in a while.I hope I could do all of them before I "expire," or probably lose hope in actually accomplishing them. I'm 20, and I don't wanna waste my first year of being "-teenless" by being the same person I've been for the past 19 years.

Redundancy is a boring thing, especially when it occurs in your life. Good luck to me.
