deal or no deal

i have decided recently that i am not a fan of Kris Aquino.

they say that you either love her or hate her. for a long time, hindi pa ako decided. on some things, i like her. but on many other things i just wanna smack her face off.

well, like many of us, i don't like kris for her arrogance and sometimes lack of humility. and also her penchant for judging a person based on what he or she wears, what brand he or she likes, etc.

and of course, her kaartehan and obsession to be the center of attention and remain in the limelight. she is the epitome of the modern TV celebrity, a local pop icon similar to Paris Hilton in terms of her impact on Filipinos who prefer to spend their time more wisely.

on the other hand, i admire Kris for being taklesa sometimes. for being brave to say things she deem as right, and to put up a brave face amid tauntings and judgments from other people. i always like it when she nonchalantly says that she sleeps with her mouth open and drooling. yes, tulo laway sya matulog like me hehe.

and beside her showbizy remarks her and there, she has a good command of the English language and is intelligent, reads a lot, but does not put any effort to be a "know-it-all".

still, i've decided not to be a fan of hers. Kris as a celebrity i mean. she's just too much. she represents TV's excesses, and ABS-CBN's arrogance and curious sense of morality.

besides that, i have no comment on Kris as a person, since i don't know her personally. i guess the best part of her is when she knows how to shut up and listen, and acts that not everyone will bow down to her, that she is after all a single soul in a myriad of souls on earth, no different from anyone else.
