Bangkok, Thailand (The Adobo Chronicles) – Netizens the world over were so busy googling and oogling over Kim Kardasian’s photograph showng her naked posterior that they totally missed a major international news about the Reality TV star that happened in Thailand.

A teenager from a children’s home in a poverty-stricken region of Thailand made an astonishing decision to turn down an offer from Kardashian to adopt her into a life of wealth and glamour overseas.

The level-headed 13-year-old called Pink said she shook with excitement when she heard the multi-millionaire wanted to adopt her, but insisted she wanted to study in Thailand instead then help her impoverished homeland and the orphans she has grown up with.

The girl with a sunny smile stole Kim’s heart when she visited the ramshackle children’s home in Thailand’s Phang Nga province, a region where more than 4,000 people perished in the 2004 tsunami. Pink, an outstanding scholar whose mother sent her to the home because she was too poor to care for her and fund her education, immediately bonded with Kim and gave her a bracelet in a visit in April filmed for her hit show Keeping Up with The Kardashians.

But after being told the reality TV star wanted to adopt her, Pink said: ‘Everyone wants to have a different or a better life, I suppose. But when I thought about it I realised it wouldn’t be good for me, because I would have to leave so much behind. I wasn’t ready for that.’

Kardashian and husband Kanye West were shocked and couldn’t believe the child’s decision.

Kardashian became so depressed that she decided to take time off from her busy schedule to vacation in an undisclosed place in Africa, just to get away from the frustration and embarrassment.

While in Africa, Kardashian encountered a pink flamingo and immediately fell in love with it. The Adobo Chronicles has learned that Kardashian adopted the gorgeous-looking bird.

She apparently feels vindicated after that adoption rejection from Pink.

NEWS ANCHOR KORINA SANCHEZ FIRED AFTER ON-AIR COMMENTS ON TYPHOON

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – ABS-CBN Network today fired controversial news anchor Korina Sanchez for on-air comments she made on the news show “TV Patrol” in which she said she hoped that the supertyphoon Ruby (international name Hagupit) hit Japan instead of the Philippines.

Her comments drew protests from Filipino netizens who were one in denouncing the wife of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas as an embarrassment to the country. Japan formally filed a protest with the United Nations  seeking to permanently silence Sanchez. It has gained 100% support from the international body.

Last year, in the aftermath of another supertyphoon (Yolanda) that resulted in thousands of lives lost and massive destruction of property, Sanchez criticized CNN’s Anderson Cooper for commenting that the Philippine government was slow to come to the aid of typhoon victims. Sanchez said Cooper, who was reporting from ground zero in hardest-hit Tacloban, “didn’t know what he was talking about.”

In a skype call with The Adobo Chronicles this morning, Sanchez shrugged off her firing and said, “Well and good! This will give me time to focus on campaigning for my husband in his 2016 bid to become elected as the next president. I’ll have the last laugh when I become the First Lady.”

No remorse there…

LEVI’S STADIUM SOLD TO OAKLAND RAIDERS!

1 Comment

imageSanta Clara, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – San Francisco is having the last laugh, although it’s at the expense of its beloved team, the 49ers.

It was just this past summer when the 49ers moved to its new home stadium, Levi’s in Santa Clara, following the closure of Candlestick Park.

The move from San Francisco to Santa Clara has all but crushed the 49ers’ chances of being in the Super Bowl. In fact, San Francisco’s season is on the brink of extinction after the 49ers (7-6) imploded in a 24-13 loss to the Oakland Raiders (2-11) on Sunday.

Following the devastating 49er loss  to the Raiders, the San Francisco team finally agreed to sell the Levi’s Stadium to the Oakland team which has been eyeing the new stadium since it opened in August.

Jim Harbaugh’s squad will have to look for another home stadium and the consensus among the owner, coach and players is to move back to San Francisco. They believe that moving back will revive the luster that the team had when they were in the Super Bowl two years ago.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee was a happy camper after hearing of the sale and  pledged to do all he can to help find a new home for the 49ers in the City by the Bay.
