Childhood Memories Trashed

oh for the love of everything that's sane!!!

i still can't believe i actually looked forward to reading this crap. it effortlessly shattered my childhood memories of walking the halls of my high school engrossed in the series. i'm trying to remind myself yet again of why and how i fell to liking it 15 years ago.

well, this particular piece was a whole lot of sh*t. i stopped reading by the time i got to 50%, and went ahead to read online reviews and spoilers instead. (my spoilers ahead)


if you're not really familiar with the francine pascal twins, and would likely sprout a dozen questions on the history, forget reading the rest coz i'm not in the mood to recap.

anyway, here's the deal. the garbage novel starts with the napakalandi, inggitera, and super selfish twin stealing the good pushover twin's longtime boyfriend. eto namang super idiot and apparently malandi ring boyfriend, pumatol naman. that was how many years ago, which was repeated again after a few years. of course this started a kalimutan-mo-nang-magkadugo-tayo stage with the twins. but, surprise surprise, in the end, the pushover twin forgives the two cheaters and moves on.

as twisted as the author's sense of values and/or humor is, the book further reveals sexual affairs left and right. talo talo na lang lahat. and by lahat, i do mean LAHAT.. the twins' brother is gay, and even though married, is having an affair with the malanding twin's childhood crush. then, all that's good in the world have gone down the drain. the nerd friend turns out to be a schmuck when he earns his moolah, and eventually commits suicide. the best friend, or should i say ex best girl friend, became an arrogant doctor who also had a lover. the best thing that probably happened is that the guy who tried to date-rape the weak twin eventually turned out to be a good guy in love with her and is not her best friend turned boyfriend, but even that is really twisted.

in all this, my conclusion simply is that the author was probably an illegitimate child of none other but the devil himself. nobody else could probably think up a what's-a-worse-word-than-twisted-? story as a 10-year comeback to a teenage series.
