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…

MADAM AURING PREDICTS: NO INTERNATIONAL BEAUTY CROWNS FOR THE PHILIPPINES THIS YEAR OR NEXT

Miss India is this year's Miss Supranational.

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The past year, the Philippines laid claim to three International Beauty Pageant crowns: Miss World Megan Young, Miss International Bea Santiago and Miss Supranational Johanna Datul. Not to mention Miss Universe 3rd Runner-up Ariella Arida.

So the pressure is on for this year’s Philippines’ representatives to keep the crowns.

Unfortunately, the country’s foremost fortune teller (and actress) Madam Auring (born Aurea Sabalboro in Sampaloc, Manila) has predicted that the Philippines will not win any international beauty crown this year.

And her predictions are starting to come to fruition.

So far this year, the Philippines failed to win Miss International, Miss Supranational and Miss Intercontinental. And things are not looking good for the Philippines’ representatives to Miss World and Miss Universe.

Perhaps, Manny Pacquiao’s mom, Dionisia, can do her little voodoo routine (like she does each time her son has a championship boxing fight) to turn the tide for Miss World in London this December and Miss Universe in Florida in January and keep the hope alive for Miss Philippines?
