Do you know Pocoyo? He's this character in Playhouse Disney and he is just the most adorable creature ever! He is soooooooo cute! Promise. Every time I see him on screen, I just want to hug him and squeeze him! And his laugh makes my heart melt. Really. Seeing him makes me feel like a kid again, you know, enjoying the simple things in life. Like appreciating the stars or befriending the animals. Sometimes, I tend to overlook these little things. I act like they don't matter anymore or that I can go on without them. But when I see Pocoyo, and all the other cute cartoon characters out there, they make these little things somewhat significant to me all over again. And it just feels good when you know that you don't have to look very far to have a smile on your face. =)
Aww. Isn't he the cutest little thing?! Taylor Hicks won. And though I dislike him, I admit he really is a good singer. I really thinks he deserves the spot. But not as much as Elliott! I still can't over him. Hehe! =) So okay, another season of the most popular show to ever hit America (and the world -- I think) ends. And I must agree that this season was the best. Almost all of the finalists were really great, and unlike the previous years, this season was quite unpredictable. The line-up was awesome: everybody really had a chance of winning. And the featured musicians were great as well, like Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow. I just hope that they'll be successful with whatever paths they will take after AI because they all deserve a big break. Congrats Taylor! And to Katherine, too! And of course, to my Elliot Yamin! I still do love him.. haha.
Wow, I'm so excited about the upcoming blockbusters that just hit and will hit us this season! X-men, Spiderman, Superman.. oh! Superheroes galore. Of course, I am still madly in-love with Batman and my loyalty will remain with him, but who am I to miss the forthcoming flicks? It sucks though, that when cartoon or comic characters are turned into movies, they turn out to be suckier than everyone else expected. Isn't it? They sort of ruin the image and somehow end up ruining the plotline or something. It's much more exciting to see them in TV or read about them in the comics. But oh well, they're still good enough to watch, right? And more often than not, the superheroes are man-candy, so who's complaining?! =)
Still.. no matter how many other "men" I may like, there is still one guy that will always stay in my heart. And honestly, I couldn't believe that even after such a long time already, I'm still in love with him. Usually, I just get tired of my crushes but this time, he really hit me. And my love for him will prove that. I bet you already know who I'm talking about. He's Nathan. MY Nathan. Hayyy. I still am head-over-heels crazy in love with him. My heart beats for him.. and thinking about him just makes my adrenalines rush. So please, don't ever bother stealing him away from me, okay? =)
my Nathan Scott. This shot was taken at the CW upfront (courtesy of DareToMove). And that look on his face? Oooh.. it sends shivers to my spine! And I'm sure that will be the exact same smile he'll be flashing on our wedding day, when I walk down that aisle. Waaaah! =) I love you, Nathan Scott.Always and forever. =)"Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown Let me fall, even if I hit the ground And if I cry a little, die a little At least I know I lived, just a little.." -- Let Me Fall by Bethany Joy Lenz

Hello, I'm Karla Bernardo. If you Google my name, you will find the Wikipedia entry of a Canadian serial-killer (and trust me, you do not want
to read about that - but I'm sure you will because now you're curious), which is why I suggest you type Bombastarr instead so you can stalk me better.
I spent eight-and-a-half years of my life in the University of the Philippines, where I graduated with degrees in Creative Writing and Juris Doctor. It is also where I learned how to speak a bit of Italian, got a taste of the best tapsilog, and took striptease for PE.
I love telling stories, as much as I enjoy finding them.

Got a comment, question, violent reaction, love letter, or random piece of information you want to share with me? Just fire away. I don't bite.
(I changed my form and went back to Freedback because Ask.fm's being a bitch, requiring people to sign up for accounts before asking questions. Because I love you guys, I tweaked my ask box a bit, so that the questions will now go directly to my e-mail, but I'll be posting the answers still on my Ask.fm for convenience. TL;DR - I'll still be getting your questions so no worries. You're still free to harass me / send me your love.)

Bombastarr.com
Bombastarr is my personal blog and my little corner in the Internet since 2005. Yes, I started writing here when I was 13 years old (aka when I was very angsty, hormonal, and always gushing at the littlest things) -- ergo, you'd have to forgive me if you come across an old post that reeks of immaturity and slightly unpolished grammar. I did a lot of growing up here, and from the looks of it, there's still a lot of growing up to do, so I don't think I'll be leaving this place any time soon.
The domain, Bombastarr.com, was purchased on June 2014 and
launched on July 2014, on the blog's ninth year (and fifth month, to be exact).
It's crazy to think that this blog is now thirteen years old, because (1) that seems like an eternity in internet years, and (2) that means if my blog were a kid, it's a teenager! That's insane.
Here's to more tales, explosive and otherwise.
So, why Bombastarr?
If you've been living under a rock and think I'm a threat to world peace or an object of covetousness, sorry to disappoint you, folks: it's just a fancy pseudonym.
As in most things, it started in high school. It began as a joke between me and a couple of friends during our freshman year. We were practicing for a field demonstration dance which involved the use of shawls, and being the crazy-always-trying-to-be-funny person that I was (or I always attempted to be) I started doing poses with the garment. Someone started taking my picture using my phone, and one shot looked like I was posing for those B-list movies (or should it be R-list, as in R-rated?) of the vegetable-nomenclature variety. #IKYWIM. Hence, the word, "Bombastarr." Yes, very cheeky, I know, but for a 13-year-old, it was quirky enough to figure as a username. That was 2005, right around the time I trying to decide on a URL for a new blog. It's been a lot of years since, and what started as a joke became something I've eventually embraced as an identity.
Despite the many other chances I've gotten to permanently move (to Multiply, Livejournal, Tumblr, Wordpress; to a bigger platform where I can earn or use the blog as a venue for commerce), I've come to realize that Bombastarr is something I can never truly leave behind. It is a place I've grown to appreciate and love because it is a place I can call my own. It's a venue for my rants, my views, my writing. It is home, and it is who I am.
Bombastarr is a glimpse of my life: the thoughts, ideas, and stories that shape it into what it is, and what it will still become. This journal has been with me for all my crazy, often embarrassing adventures, but I'm sure there will be more anecdotes and feelings and people to write about. Which is something I'm really looking forward to. After all, you know what they say about the greatest stories - sometimes, there's still a lot that's left unwritten.
