"i absolutely loathe hydrangeas"

i was looking forward to seeing madonna's film W.E. until i saw this:

this incident happened right before the press conference of madonna's film W.E. at the venice film festival, after a fan (allegedly) handed her a branch of blossoming hydrangea.


words hurt, you know! loathe?! absolutely loathe?! and hydrangeas?! i adore hydrangeas!

• if i were the little prince, the hydrangea would be my ephemeral rose . . . 
• if hubby and i chose to have a "colored" flowers on our wedding (and assuming we had the budget, which, to the best of my recollection e wala, haha!), our cute flower girls would have probably held pink and purple hydrangeas.  
• every time we go to tagaytay and i see those adorable pink and purple bunch for sale, i'd always wonder if we will ever have cool weather in manila for me to grow hydrangeas.  
• i remember watching the wedding of then first daughter jackie ejercito to beaver lopez and saw imported hydrangeas heavenly flooding the church . . . jealousy on my part, over the hydrangeas of course . . .(oh! and jealousy over the monogramed golf umbrellas!) 

i wish, i wish . . . only for the material girl to loathe it. . . ooops, i stand corrected . . . to "absolutely loathe" it.  maybe it was just a statement of fact on her part, still --- words hurt, you know. . . she could have said: "the hydrangeas are lovely but i am just not a fan.  i appreciate the thought though" or something like that . . . 


torn . . . cause i was really looking forward to watching W.E, a film loosely based on wallis simpson, whose relationship with king edward viii led to his abdication . . . (and if he did not abdicate, we would probably have a different queen now...chika minute! hahaha!)
