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.

New York, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Pop/country superstar Taylor Swift is no stranger to Filipino music fans. She has held two concerts in Manila, one in 2011 and the latest was a one-night show of her Red Tour last June.

Swift’s catchy brand of country-pop music has single-handedly caught the attention the mainstream music scene, and she’s one of the top sellers of concert tickets today.

Swift was captivated by her adoring Filipino fans, and especially by one romantic, good-looking Filipino who was among the local backup dancers during her June concert.  In less than 24 hours, the American singer admitted she was in love. “I never thought I’d  ever be involved in a whirlwind romance,” Taylor said.

The Filipino man remains unnamed but a video released online by Taylor herself shows her saying ‘Mahal Kita’ (I love you) to this young man.  They were also caught in the same video hugging each other.

Taylor refused to confirm whether or not she and the Filipino man are still in contact, but the glitter in her eyes when questioned by reporters about it seemed to provide the answer.
