Shucks, I'm still hooked on this Idol phenomenon even after my favorites Becky O'Donohue and Ayla Brown were eliminated. Well, you know that my first venture into the other Idols besides that of AI, with the help of YouTube, was in Indian Idol, were the studio audience went mad after Amey Date's (whom they thought the Indian Idol would be) elimination. I've browsed more clips, then the next Idol franchise to give me the Idol fever was Indonesian Idol. They sang this song called Cintaku, and it's become one of my swift LSS's. The lyrics and the video of the song is right down below.
Kan ku jalin lagu Bingkisan kalbuku Bagi insan dunia Yang mengagungkan cinta
Betapa nikmatnya Di cumbu asmara Bagai embun pagi Yang menyentuh rerumputan
Cinta, akan ku berikan Bagi hatimu yang damai Cintaku, gelora asamara Seindah lembayung senja
Tiada ada yang kuasa Melebihi indahnya Nikmat bercinta
Also, I'm happy to inform na mayroon nang Philippine Idol, July 2006 on ABC! Whoopee! I'm freakin' excited! Hahahaha.

Happy birthday, Paul! It's your first birthday in Canada! Swell! Wishing you more birthdays to come. :)
We had our class' family day yesterday. What happened in the itinerary was parlor games, band performance, and food consumption. Sayang, wala 'yung tattoo. How I wish I was a vocalist of our class band, but they really don't want me to be one. Sigh. Ang tagal ko nang walang gig. I wasn't able to come to audition for prompters for Jzone because I didn't receive a text message. Blame on me for not writing my cell-phone number legibly. Sigh, sigh.
Please do press play. I've been blessed in hearing this song, and so will you. This song has been sort of my theme song, when I felt God's presence when I was still in first year high school. :P
I promised to give three things to my three classmates, and I haven't fulfilled one of them. All of them are below, and hopefully I will be able to give it to them in third year. We're classmates, anyway:
[ ] A notation of our song for Music presentation entitled Nasa'n Ka, Kaibigan for Ryan
[ ] Jumbo sex bands for Brian
[ ] A VCD/DVD copy of the Christmas party performance of 2M's band, I Forgot, for Paolo
I'm so happy that school's over, and a very happy school year took place. I'm so grateful to God for four things that happened to me during that second year:
1. Getting a C+in Filipino (first term). Yes, it's not a very high score (80-84), but it was a miracle because I was flunking most of the Noli Me Tangere quizzes already, yet I was still able to get a third honor award.
3. Winning second place in a dance competition (third term). The battle was called Krismaskipaps, and it was only among the sections of every batch. All those times I've wasted my time performing like BoA in my bedroom finally paid off, the payment in a form of a second place banner. Just when I thought what my bedroom routine was wala lang! You see, I lip-synched the song Sa Iyo by Sarah Geronimo, holding a microphone while we were dancing, and there was a time that I went off the stage to get closer to the judges which made the audience roar. After that performance, people come up to me saying that they had no idea that I would do such a thing, because I'm this boy who's so quiet in class, being kind as much as I can. Our section didn't win second place because the dance steps were awesome (the first place winners 2L were doing so many handstands! \m/), but because of the audience impact that the performance had. Thank you.
4. Winning third place in a song competition (third term). This time, the battle's called Awit Nasyonalista, where an original composition about being a modern hero is written and performed by the students. It was cool that Ryan Cayabyab's wife was able to judge us. My keyboarding sucked at that time, but still, our score was pulled up by the beautiful lyrics Jerwin wrote. Awesome God!
Many, many things really happened, but I can't enumerate them all now, for this post's too long already. I wonder what would happen in third year?
What happens when you tell everybody that classes are suspended
Well, more than ten people reply. Most of them find it as a funny joke, some thought it wasn't a funny joke, while some ask if I'm serious. Y!M windows flooded my computer right after I sent the group message. When this coup thing happened, my Filipino pride slipped away. Whatever happened to the dictator-free country that our brethren fought for twenty years ago. But still pray for our leaders in the government now.
Sigh. Why are my favorite girls leaving American Idol one by one? Ano ba 'yan! I anticipated that Ayla might get the boot after all the girls' performance. All of them were great for me, but lots of them had to be greater, and Ayla wasn't one of them. I did enjoy her performance, though, because I'm not hard to please. I had pity on her when she cried, because she worked so hard for this. America blew it. I am so gonna download her performance of Unwritten and enjoy it as much as I had LSS on Becky's Because the Night. Oh yeah!
