When Kim and Gerald would get married...

The news of Judy Ann and Ryan's wedding the other day caught Philippines by surprise because it happened when everyone least expected it. I could not help but be impressed that they were able to pull it off without a glitch - and everyone involved had been very loyal to them then because it had not been leaked until the day itself.

Naturally, my conversation with my fellow Kimerald addict has shifted towards Kim and Gerald's wedding too. LOL

It started with our argument on when is the right time for Kim and Gerald to get married. I am adamant in waiting for 6-7 years, when both would be matured and ready for bigger responsibilities, while some of them haggled - and said that after two or three years would suffice. LOL

We were impressed at the very private wedding of Juday and Ryan and L said she wished Kim and Gerald's wedding in the future will also be like that. Yes, we were so confident in talking about their wedding. No if's about it...only when.

I asked her if it's alright with her that we would not know about it beforehand and would only get to know about it on the wedding day itself. She said she would settle for knowing about it beforehand, but having a very private wedding just like J&R's.

E, the other person I was talking with, also wanted a private wedding for Kim and Gerald. And I relented in the end and agreed with them, provided that there would be exclusive and total coverage of the wedding. LOL

We even guessed with confidence LOL that MYMP would sing No Ordinary Love on their wedding!

LOL Lovesigh....Kimerald addiction...kimerald insanity...kimerald obsession!

I can wait until the day she says yes!

It's 4 AM and I am still wide awake, watching Kimerald videos on YouTube. :D

I am very awake because of giddiness and thrill just watching them together. I started with Kim's birthday production last week. Then I watched her birthday production in ASAP last year, their off cam vids, their PBB vids, the ELive 'exclusively shooting' interview and then the above video.

"I CAN SAY UNTIL THE DAY SHE SAYS YES!"

WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


OMMGGGG Gerald Anderson, you are one-of-a-kind, one-in-a-million. Each time I see and watch Gerald in the interviews, my admiration for him always go one notch higher. I can really see how sincere Gerald is with his feelings for Kim. :D

I've been on Kimerald high all day because I have been talking with some of my fellow Kimerald adiks and we've dug in our chest of Kimerald knowledge and talked about those thrilling infos we've acquired. :D

Thanks to Kimerald, they always brighten up my day when it gets dreary, they make me forget problems and worries and they make me believe in love and happy-ever-after all the more. :D

Kimerald Fan Fictions

Ack!! I haven't devoted any time to FF writing these past few days. Been busy at work since one of my colleague's on vacation and I had to do her work. And I do not feel like writing these past few nights. In short, I've been lazy. :D

However, I promise I would update them tonight. In fact, during lunch break earlier, I had already drafted the next chapter for the three FFs. :D Sorry to those who have been waiting for my updates.

For those interested, here are my FFs:

SHORT STORIES

Tayong Dalawa Woes: Kimerald Exposure and Characters

Last December, when news about Tayong Dalawa broke out, I was ecstatic to hear that Kim and Gerald would topbill this soap along with Jake Cuenca, and would be supported by an award-winning cast. All throughout the promotion of this show, it was repeatedly and very clearly stated that Kim and Gerald and Jake were the main cast of this soap.

Being a Kimerald fan, I had very high expectations for Kim and Gerald on this soap because they had consistently said in the interviews that we would be seeing a mature Kim and Gerald. I also remembered Kim saying that we, the viewers would despise her character at first but would eventually come to love her.

Tayong Dalawa started out so great, the story was compelling, the pacing was very fast. Gerald immediately shone in acting especially when he was a kanto boy and I felt so proud of him. Kim was a battered child and.... grew up into a battered lady still. Though I was disappointed with her character, I still applaud her portrayal because she made me teary-eyed as well as made me want to beat Stanley too.

Two months into the soap however, it was very obvious that Kim's character was not a lead, not even a support but merely a decoration, used to attract viewers and advertisers. But even though the growth of Kim and Gerald's characters had been stunted I still watch Tayong Dalawa painstakingly for the sake of Kim and Gerald.

However these past weeks, watching Tayong Dalawa had been exasperating to the point of being so unbearable for me because all I see in every change of scene is Dave, Dave and Dave. The main reason why I watch Tayong Dalawa in the first place is because of Kim and Gerald, not because of Dave or any other characters/stars in the show. I was led to believe that I would be seeing a lot of Kim and Gerald though I have never expected to watch only them and them alone because I know there are a lot of actors and actresses in the cast too.

But what irked me aside from the lame, stagnant and boring characters of Kim and Gerald, was the few exposures of the two, especially of Kim! I am not asking for thrill and giddiness in their every scene. I only want to see them in their mature roles, as promised to us during the promotion. But instead, Kimerald fans were already lucky to see them once in every gap, while the other character is visible in every scene of all gaps!

Someone has argued that the 'exposure' of the stars doesnt matter as long as they deliver. Lucky for them who thought of that because they are merely fans of the show. But for me, as a fan of Kim and Gerald, that's not enough. I watched TV and subscribed to TFC because of Kim and Gerald, because watching them on the TV relieves me of my homesickness, depression sometimes and stress from work. They're my stress reliever, my peace of mind in this crazy world outside of the Philippines. I am thankful to them because of the happiness they brought me, just by being themselves.

Also, I want to see them deliver as much as the other lead star, I want to see them throw lines and dialogue with the award-winning veteran actors and actress. That's what I want...more chance for Kim and Gerald to showcase their acting capabilities -- not merely stand and embrace each other. They told me I would be seeing a mature Kim and Gerald, not the usual Kim and Gerald we saw in My Girl and My Only Hope. But what are they doing to Kimerald's characters? They keep on giving them 'sweet' scenes, when in the first place, it's not what I expect.

Heck, if I want giddiness and thrill, I would just watch their off cam videos that abound in youtube or just reread the bts I've gathered or just simply reread Kimerald fanfiction.

That's why I am complaining, I am grumbling because being a Kimerald fan, I felt cheated. I was told that Kim and Gerald are lead stars, but their characters came out as just support and sometimes verge on being antagonists for hurting Dave, who by the way, I dislike with a passion.

The others are arguing that Kimerald, most especially Kim are not really the lead of the show. I get it! I clearly get it! Now the others, in their quest for placating us Kimerald fans maybe, has repeatedly said that Kim and Gerald fans should stop saying that Tayong Dalawa is a Kimerald soap because their characters suggest otherwise. But see, that is the problem! That is why I am complaining in the first place. ABS-CBN had been very adamant in saying Tayong Dalawa is being starred by Kim, Gerald and Jake and supported by an award-winning cast. But what happened is that only Jake was the very lead star, Gerald came in second...while Kim was a decoration. The supporting cast had more exposure than the two lead stars. That is why I am annoyed, I am vexed, I am angry for being misled.

If they have set us straight in the first place, they would not have received any complaints from Kimerald fans. Just like when they said Kimerald were the lead stars in Sana MAulit Muli and My Girl, they were indeed the lead stars of the two soaps. In Maligno, we knew that Kim and Gerald were supporting characters, but have you heard us complain? NO, because we know we would not be seeing a lot of them.

Kimerald fans are not stupid and unreasonable. We know how to be thankful to ABS for the shows they give to Kimerald, don't get me wrong. I know because some of our fellow Kimerald fans would always remind the others to thank ABS for Kimerald shows and the advertisers as well for getting Kimerald to endorse their products.

However, we do not want to be made fools though, just like what they're doing to us in Tayong Dalawa. They told us Kimerald are the lead stars but they relegate the characters of the two to being support/antagonist only. We are not fools, we are not stupid, we are not pushovers, we are not easily swayed. We can see what is happening and we do not want Kim and Gerald to be taken advantage of.

That is why, I would continue to be vocal about my complaints and my grievances about Kim and Gerald's characters in Tayong Dalawa if necessary. I cannot just keep quiet especially when I see that Kim and GErald are being treated unfairly.

I know I am not the only one who CANNOT keep quiet when it concerns Kimerald. I know most of the fans out there are also ready to defend Kim and Gerald from everyone who would try to hurt these two kids.

Because of Kimerald

One year into KG addiction and my life has never been the same. My life has turned several degrees, enough to create some changes in my life that even I myself was surprised. :D

One of the 'drastic' change in my life was my lack of enthusiasm in reading books anymore. If my friends from my book forum would read this, they would have gasped collectively in surprise. LOL That's because I've been one of those fast readers who could read a book in a day or two, especially if it is very interesting. I could talk about books nonstop and have a lot of opinions too.

However, since I got hooked on Kimerald, books (especially romance books, which i'm very fond of) have lost their appeal to me. I have picked up several of the books I bought but I got bored with them immediately. Thus, I havent read books for months since I've been tickled pink by Kim and Gerald's real chemistry. The hopeless romantic in me was touched and nothing else could match the giddiness, thrill, exhilaration that Kim and Gerald brings.

Because of Kimerald, I finally devoted a lot of time in writing. One of my ambition before was to be a journalist and almost took up journalism in college. That's because I've enjoyed writing eversince I was in high school. For several year's, one of my new year's resolution was to devote time in writing. And for those years, I despair at the end of the year when I look back at my NY resolutions and found out that I had not done any writing at all. But since I decided to write Kimerald fan fiction, I found myself devoting several hours each time, painstakingly writing chapters for KGFFs. And I noticed that as time passed, writing was not as difficult as it was before, especially if I devote time to do it each night.

Because of Kimerald, I could finally say to myself that I'm a writer. LOL Thanks to the inspiration they bring, and thanks to the KGFF readers as well because they pushed me to challenge myself - and finish one full-length story as well as several short stories.

Because of Kimerald, I have become very opinionated - with regards to the showbiz. Before, I could care less what others would say about the stars I like, but with Kimerald, I had engaged in discussion and argument and sometimes even fights with those envious people who put Kimerald down. I used to be passive and indifferent to the local (and even international) showbiz, but with Kimerald, OMG, I have a lot to say.

Because of Kimerald, I've been very industrious in sending emails, when before I am one of the worst email correspondents even to friends and family. I think sending emails took a lot of time but with Kimerald, I hardly think its an effort at all.

Because of Kimerald, I've become a frequent YM chatter. I had no patience with chat before but since I've made friends with fellow Kimerald fanatics, I've been immersing myself in YM just to get the latest update on Kimerald or simple drive myself insane about Kimerald with my other fellow Kimerald certifiable.

Because of Kimerald, spoiler has been deleted from my vocabulary. LOL When watching movies, tv shows or even reading books before, I get annoyed when somebody would spoil the ending for me. But with Kimerald, I wanted to know immediately what happened like in Tayong Dalawa for example. Thanks to Gina and Dawn and the others who patiently type the play by play of TD each day in BAOs thread, TD is already spoiled for me when I watch it at home. LOL

These are just some of the changes in me ever since I got hooked on kimerald. If I remember something else, I'd make it into part 2.

What about you? Has there been any changes in your life or your preferences since you got hooked on Kimerald too? :D

Kimerald addiction

It's been almost a year since my Kimerald addiction. LOL I remember it was towards the end of April last year when I was searching for Kimerald pics for my sister and stumbled across numerous Kimerald fan sites with pictures and articles.

I remember poring over each website, looking at the pictures, reading articles and watching their videos. Everything was so overwhelming to me then. Coz I had two years to catch up!

I distinctly remember the one hhhmmm... act that had got me hooked on Kimerald so much: reading about Gerald giving Kim a pink car! My gosh, the romantic in me got so excited I had to watch Kim's debut on YT, and all their PBB vids. And that's when I started going to work without any sleep coz i spent the whole night just watching vids of them on YT!

I checked my profile in PEx and saw my joining date was May 13, 2008. So that means that I had been going through the vids and artics and pics for two weeks before I thought of joining a Kimerald fans club. I remembered sending request to one group first and waited for days for the approval. I thought I was denied so I turned to PEx. :D

And the rest was history...LOL. A year later, I'm still a fan, i'm still addicted and had gone even crazier. I did things I didnt do before... because of Kimerald. And that's going to be my next topic. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMY!

This banner was supposed to be posted at PEx, and the original plan is that all Kim's 18 faces would appear in the bubbles, but i had not perfected the bubble tutorial i was following. And there should have been no 'colored waves' in the background!

At Long Last....

I finally got the template of this blog to my liking. I've been tweaking this for some time and it's only now that I have fixed this. :D

KIMERALD OBSESSION is back...and hopefully would keep going and going...

Lately, I have spent so many hours in BAOs and Tayong Dalawa thread in PEx. All of my opinions and reactions and comments regarding Tayong Dalawa and Kimerald were all there.

It just occured to me that I should have also put them here in my blog so this would have some content. LOL If I have the time (and when would that be?) I'd go over TD thread and try to dig up my posts there and post them here.

Anyway, I will try to update this as regularly as I could, from now on. :D
