the crystal ball was right

It'll be David vs. David:D

(Hmmm...I wonder if it can predict my future too...hehehe...)

David vs.David

Idol notes...

1. I like Simon. I think part of why I find him appealing is his character. Others might not like him & find him arrogant but for me he's just frank. I admire him 'cause he's not afraid to make honest criticisms and at the same time give credit where they are due. He says how he really feels without thinking or caring of how people will react. It's really either you like him or you hate him.

2. David Archuleta should stick to singing. He's cute in a "pretty boy" way & he really has a great voice (no doubt he'll go a long way) but seeing him perform Chris Brown's "With You" tonight, I conclude that he sucks at dancing.

3. David Cook rocks. Wasn't really an original fan of his (I was rooting for Michael Johns who got booted out early on). I think he gained more popularity after his rendition of Mariah's "Always Be My Baby". Heard him sing "Dare You To Run" & "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" tonight & I really like his rough, edgy voice.

My brave prediction...it's gonna be a head to head battle between the 2 Davids for American Idol's Season 7.

Labour of Love

In this modern day & time, it's rare to find an honest to goodness helpful public servant. Sad truth but when I see a public official, the feeling I get is that of disgust & even fear rather than respect & relief. So a while ago, while passing through EDSA, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw an MMDA official helping a woman carry her plastic bag of groceries.

I didn't realize that such kind of person still exists. After a long day at work, the simple image I saw made me smile...

Proud to be Pinoy?

everytime i travel to a different country, people are surprised to hear that i'm from the philippines & that i'm a filipino citizen. with my fair skin & chinky eyes, most of the time i've been mistaken for a singaporean & spoken to in mandarin. when i go to hongkong or somewhere that belongs to the chinese territory, i can easily blend in.

foreigners who have not been to the philippines or are not very knowledgeable about the country still think that filipinos are brown, short & have flat noses. with our economy going weaker & with more filipinos going abroad to work (most of the time as domestic helpers or entertainers), it's sad that these foreigners look down at us. in spite of this, i've never been ashamed to raise my filipino passport & say i'm a filipino.

after this article coming out in cnn, would i still feel the same way?

This calls for a celebration!

Recently, just heard that a good friend of mine passed the US CPA board exam.

2nd placer in the Philippine CPA board exams, she's now in Tokyo working for an audit firm. Next year, she'll be transferring to New York for work & at the same time pursue her masteral degree. Not only is she good in audit, she's also a great writer. I love reading her blog (http://jenny-the-sleep-talker.blogspot.com/). Some articles written by her have also been published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer (a link to a sample of her written article -- http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view_article.php?article_id=67623) . A really great achiever & all around person! But what I admire most about her is her ability to balance work & play. Despite being a very hardworker, she knows how to party hard too.

Congratulations Jenny! You deserve it! Really really proud & lucky to have such a wonderful friend like you!

Let's celebrate!!! Wootwoooot!!!

It's hot & I love it!

after several days of gloomy unpredictable weather, the sun is shining bright today.

woooohhhhhhhhooooooo!!!!!!!! summer 2008 is officially here:)
