American Idol's DavidA vs David C

I have actively watched American Idol since it started this season. During the auditions I was rooting for Ramielle simply because she is a Filipina. Then I heard her sing and knew she would make it big. Unfortunately, she was not able to make the best of her voice or her vocal range. She really has a good and big voice. Since then, I have watched every episode, seen how each contestant was critiqued by the judges. Sometimes it felt right but there were times I could see an underlying favoritism on some judges. David Archuleta has a lot going for him, he is charming, good-looking and very young. But, David C is a better Idol. His choices has shown us the depth of his voice. He can croon a mellow tune with the grace of a balladeer but he can also rock you with the raw and grit of his voice. If the final decision lies on the judges and the contestant itself.....DAVID COOK is certainly the AMERICAN IDOL!

Being a Godmother

Just this morning I stood as a godmother to the son of my friend Tess. Becoming a godmother is not just about giving gifts on special occasions. When you accept this title, you also accept the responsibility that goes with it. Meaning you will become a 2nd mother to him. Christian Matthew is a very cute and lovable child and I am privileged to be given the title of being his godmother

Onwards to a new career....

As I now become a member of the unemployed, effective April 20 I retire from my copy writing job to help out the family as an au pair. Seriously, I will now be retired officially and will be taking care of the little ones at home so my sister can pursue her dreams. It is not really a hard decision for me because I know that the internet world will not leave me away from work. I have stayed at home full-time when I was taking care of my son. Though it was tiring and fulfilling, I felt that my brain was stagnating. So, getting ready for this new career, I decided to look for online jobs. One of the things I recently finished was to become a member of Sulit.com.ph which I have heard before but has not had the time to register with. This will ensure that not only will my brain be working but, it will make my nanny days more profitable. And I will always be grateful I made my decision to join Sulit.com because I realized how helpful it can be, and I am enjoying myself so much. I...

A Salute to my Father

When I decided to go my own way after college my father sent me a letter and a poem. And though it was hard for him to let go, the poems says it all. Someday, I hope I will be as smart as he is when it comes to my son and have the ability, the guts and the love to let him be whatever he wants to be, as my father has done to me. On Children Kahlil Gibran Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. ...

OBAMA: against outsourcing?

I used to read news a lot but then I got tired reading the same scenario over and over again. Who wouldn’t when all you will read about are the same old story….one pulitiko will find something about another…announce it to the whole dung world…people will take notice and it will be the center of attention…that is until another pulitko comes up with another dirty thing about the other…its actually a cycle…a very vicious one at that. Another scenario, we learn something that the first family, GMA or FG has done… again, its BIG news. The next morning, something happens and we forget about the other news. Cover-up? Most likely, YES. So, who wants to read the news? Anyway, every now and then I get the urge to read…and I was sad to read about this. I am not an Obama fan. I am not a Bill Clinton fan. But, for now I like Hillary. I think she has more balls than her husband ever has. This news gave me more reason not to like Obama….although, there’s not much difference between Obama and Cli...

HOW I LOVE UPLB

Sent by a friend: "But it's always you I run home to, take me back, take me home away from here back to where I am free" -"Los Banos" by Sugarfree Dalawang oras mula sa usok-infested streets of Metro Manila matatagpuan ang aking personal heaven dito sa mundo. Matanaw ko pa lang ang Mt. Makiling mula sa South Superhighway, kinikilig na ako. Wala naman akong girlfriend sa LB. Lalo nang wala ding boyfriend. Kahit ka-fling na pwedeng balikan, wala naman akong pupuntahan. Pero yung feeling pwede mong itulad sa pagpunta mo sa bahay ng mahal mo matapos ang isang buwang walang pag-uusap o pagkikita. Nasa LB ang org ko, pero hindi naman kami close ng mga orgmates, actually parang iwas pa nga sila sa kin e. Nandito sa Metro Manila ang mga kaibigan ko. Nasa Pasig ang pamilya ko. Wala naman akong ancestral roots sa Los Banos. Mayroon lang talagang hindi maintindihang connection sa pagitan ko at ng napakagandang lugar na to. Bakit kaya ako napaibig sa Los Banos? Suspect :...

Taga-UPLB ka kung...

A kabatch sent this and I think only a true blue elbi-nian would understand this, only up to a certain batch yata coz the recent batches have seen a lot of changes in LB. 1. Kilala mo si Mang Pogs. 2. Nalilito ka kung saan nakalagay ang banga ni Mariang Banga. 3. Tubig na lang ang tingin mo sa gin. 4. Ginamit mong reviewer ang mga old exams para sa mga midterms, prefi at finals sa math, stat, chem,physics, eco etc. 5. Hindi ka sumasagot ng UP (yupeee) kapag tinanong ka kung saan ka graduate.hahaha! sagot mo elbi. 6. Taga-elbi ka kapag kilala mo yung professor na nagbi-bike ng naka-barong na kupas. (Si climax! kalahating albert einstein, kalhating mang pandoy) 7. Ok lang pumasok sa mga klase kahit naka pambahay/pantulog attire ka. 8. Pag nagtanong si manong driver ng "may animal ba dyan?", at may sumagot ng "meron po" ay di ka natawa. 9. Pag nagtanong uli si manong driver ng "may mens ba dyan?", at may sumagot uli ng "meron po" ay di ka natawa. 10...
