Bloghopping!

So, last night, I was just clicking around and I found this Singaporean blog. And being the World English loving me, I instantly loved the blooger. Her name is Wendy Cheng, and apparently, she's the top blogger of Singapore, so I instantly got curious and read her posts away (although I wasn't really able to read each and every post as most were soooooooooo long that I just couldn't stand it), and I found her really amusing, especially when she talks about her nose. I mean, she's just a girl talking about herselfv very honestly with the whole wide web to see, now, that is really something.

And then, I got to the part where she answered another blogger's post about her. This dude, who I cannot remember the name, criticizes every little thing about her. It started with her hair, which she dyed blonde, and he felt so affected about that he started saying rude things about her. I mean, man, I personally believe that it is okay to bash someone on your blog if you personally know the person, but if you just happen to see her on the street and then started writing lengthy posts about her and analyzing her and shit like that, now that is really something. I mean, don't you even have something else to do?

So yeah, with that, Wendy Cheng answered everything, and I just don't know why, but the dude's wife started to get on with the drama, too, making the whole thing a Twitter war-fest. What I loved about it is that they called each other ugly. Now, that's what I call appropriate, as I really believe that you can call someone you just saw on the store ugly if they really are unappetizing for your taste. I mean, I'm not being mean or something, but, I really think that criticizing how their parents brought them up and shit when the only time you have seen them is on the street is very stupid, because, again, you don't even know them. Just call them ugly, because that is one thing that you really know, right?

Anyhow, I'm still not done going through the whole blog, and I don't even think I can go back to the start (heck, she began writing for the blog in 2003!), so whatever. I will just enjoy Xiaxue's blog and laugh my ass off.

P.S. I also have some stuff that I don't like about her. As I take my comic books and movies seriously, I took offense when she said that Watchmen sucked. I mean, okay, I could totally understand as she doesn't seem to be the type to read the graphic novel and she is truly entitled to her opinions. But, really, I am so in love with that film (as I loved the graphic novel/comic series dearly), so I am quite sad that she had to say stuff like that about the film. But, oh well. Imma let that go. She's amusing enough for me. :)

Oh, popular bloggers!

I've always found it great that I do not know anything about my favorite bloggers as I've always thought that their personal lives are theirs and shit like that. Also, I think that it is not exactly their lives I am perennially prying upon, so what the heck right?

However, I am still quite shocked how big some bloggers already are. I mean, yes, there are tons of fanatics all over the blogosphere and a hipster or two can easily blow up one blogger's popularity, but honestly, like gossiping about their personal lives in forums? Now, that was really weird for me.

Okay, so let me tell my story in a proper order. This morning, I've read Tweexcore's interview with Sabino (I follow both in Tumblr). Of course, the interview took a turn and got to his and Audreyhepburncomplex's thing - and I honestly love their lovey-doveyness in my dashboard - which was likened to The Sartorialist's and Garance Dore's thing, which surprised me. I know I am months late about this shit and I am sorry, so it made me curious.

So, I've researched about Garance Dore (sorry, but I was more of the Sartorialist's follower, plus I wasn't even really big with following tons of blogs and I only kind of like the photos and of course the Fashion Week pieces, so I do not know her, sorry!) and honestly, I wasn't really surprised why she is apparently famous. She does take amazing street style fashion photos and I instantly loved her thing. So, I Googled for more articles about them.

Then the disappointment hit me. I was perfectly happy not knowing them as people, then I got wind about how their relationship started. Yes, I know I shouldn't pass judgment and I really don't know what has been going on with their lives, but to have an affair and go public about it? Well, well! Honestly, I am soooo fine if they want to go lovesick all over the web, until I found out that he was married and already has two kids when they started out. Some speculates that he is getting divorced, however, not one of the sites I've visited can confirm whether this is true or has already been finalized, but I do hope so.

Then, I decided to read more, which got me more disappointed. I landed on this article, which, I think, is kind of very boastful of him to say. Yes, he is quite popular, but I think not that popular yet to brag about his expertise in bed, not that anybody should, though.

Well, anyway, I still don't know a lot, and I'm just putting this out for my own sake. For one, I think I will still like The Sartorialist's and Garance Dore's blogs and style even after everything I've read today. But, if anyone can tell me if he's already officially divorced can really help me a lot.

Today

I:
- traveled from the city to my grandma's wake for seven freaking hours. I took a bus, 2 jeepneys, an fx taxi, and a tricycle. It was bloody tiring.
- have awake for almost 24 hours already, since I woke up yesterday at 4:20 am. This, however, includes the sleep I got in the bumpy ride to here.
- am enjoying a free wi-fi connection, thanks to the chapel's online wake promo, they also have free wi-fi.
- kind of got annoyed and kind of pissed at my cousin when she said that Feist isn't good. I tried to understand her. She is emotional, and tired, and sleepless, and pissed at some other relatives.
- am being bitten the hell away by freaking million mosquitoes.
- am overhearing my two aunts discussion about going to the bathroom together - as in together in the cubicle.
- am not that sleepy yet, even after the loooong day yesterday.
- missed tutorial classes. Boy, it is my starting week and shit has been all over it. I am really going to do my best next week.
- am still thinking about my state of broke-ness.
- realized how tech savvy I am, compared to most of my cousins.
- tried my best to be hospitable, accommodating, and friendly. And I hate it.
- cried over my lola's death.

Skimmin' 'round

For one, I'm not really that bored. Heaven knows I'm supposed to be doing some writing right now, but as I am the greatest procrastinator in the room, I'm blog-hopping instead.

I'm not really into reading friends' blogs, I don't know why, but today, I decided to take a peek on one of my friends' pages. I haven't finished reading yet, but knowing my Inky, it'll be fun. :)
