Kellie Pickler
Kellie Pickler's Prom Pic
Kellie Pickler's Yearbook PageVoteforTheWorst.com has posted some very damaging stories against
American Idol contender,
Kellie Pickler. According to the site, Kellie's "I'm so innocent, cute and lovable" self is nothing but an act. The website is quite and detailed and convincing. Personally, I like Kellie, but I don't think she is good enough to win.

Left-handed Snails better than Right-Handed Snails
from
Yahoo! News:
A study published in the March 2006 issue of the Royal Society Biology Letters asserts that snails with shells that coil toward the left are more likely to survive predator (crab) attacks than those with shells coil toward the right.
Ala lang... FASCINATING! ;)

Pink's STUPID GIRLS
STUPID GIRLS
by PINK
Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girlGo to Fred Segal, you'll find them there
Laughing loud so all the little people stare
Looking for a daddy to pay for the champagne
(Drop a name)
What happened to the dreams of a girl president
She's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent
They travel in packs of two or three
With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees
Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?
Oh where, oh where could they be?
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
(Break it down now)
Disease's growing, it's epidemic
I'm scared that there ain't a cure
The world believes it and I'm going crazy
I cannot take any more
I'm so glad that I'll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That's what I wanna see
Disasters all around
World despaired
Their only concern
Will they **** up my hair
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
[Interlude]
Oh my god you guys, I totally had more that 300 calories
That was so not sexy, no
Good one, can I borrow that?
[Vomits]
I WILL BE SKINNY
(Do ya thing, do ya thing, do ya thing)
(I like this, like this, like this)
Pretty will you **** me girl, silly as a lucky girl
Pull my head and suck it girl, stupid girl!
Pretty would you **** me girl, silly as a lucky girl
Pull my head and suck it girl, stupid girl!
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, stupid girl!
Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl

SY 2005 - 06
It seems like this past school year just flashed before my eyes. So much has happened and I've never been as busy as I've been the past year. And I've never worked as hard too.
But the past week, it seemed, moved slowly. The deadlines, exams and other things that had to be attended to, didn't seem to end. And it still doesn't. Right now, I'm still working on two projects and two more exams.
So what have I accomplished? Probably a lot. I feel like this past school year has really transformed me and made me a mature, responsible student, and person. Although I still cram and procrastinate, I am now more focused on the right priorities. I have learned to spend my money more wisely. I'm still impulsive and frivolous, but I'd like to think I now appreciate the value of my money more. I have been studying hard, and working even harder. The past schoolyear, I have been tutoring, conducting remedial classes and blogging.
Sad to say, there is also a part of me that is really suffering: my social life. Haven't been out much. Didn't really meet new people. Aside from re-connecting with some old friends, my social life hasn't really made much progress. But's that the pay-off, I guess, for have good grades and rewarding jobs.
Unfortunately, this summer doesn't really hold much promise on the social front. My plan consist mainly of school and work, still.

Trapped
Sometimes something earth-shattering happens in our lives. And in our quest to have a sense of normalcy, we get trapped in a routine. Unfortunately, our routine only reminds us of the pain and suffering. And instead of normalcy, what we get is a deathtrap of emotions. But still we are afraid, afraid to move on, afraid of change, afraid that another thing might only give us more pain. Unfortunately, our fear and anxiety paralyze us.
{I really don't know what I'm saying here but I hope I make sense.}

Math Puzzle
Ateneo de Manila Professor
Queena N. Lee-Chua, in her column
Eureka! in the Philippine Daily Inquirer (page B4) gave this Math puzzle today (March 4, 2006):
1. Key in the first three digits of your seven-digit phone number into the calculator. (Note: Do not key in the area code, but the three digits after.)
2. Multiply by 80.
3. Add 1.
4. Multiply by 250.
5. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number.
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone nmber again.
7. Subtract 250.
8. Divide by 2.
Amazing, right? I love this puzzle. I emailed my solution/explanation to this puzzle.
This can also work for cellphone numbers if you use only the last seven digits (ie d not include 0916, 0917, 0918, 0920, 0906, or whatever the first four digits of your mobile number is) of your mobile number.

American Idol 5 Top 10 Girls
Disappointing is how I would describe the performance of the remaining American Idol 5 girls. They failed to surpass or even just measure up to their excellent performances last week. Nonetheless, some showed brillliance while others were just forgettable or painful to watch and hear.
My ranking:
1 MANDISA - fantastic performance; very good song choice, powerful voice
2/3 KELLIE Pickler - great performance; way better than last week
2/3 LISA Tucker - very good performance but somewhat forgettable
4 KATHARINE McPhee - good but not her best, disappointing coz we all know that she's capable of something better
5 AYLA Brown - continues to shock and impress with her smart choices; a bit shaky but still very good
6/7 MELISSA McGhee - surprisingly good but still charisma
6/7/8 PARIS Bennett - good but creepy performance; not forgettable but something I'd like to forget
7/8 KINNIK Sky - ok performance, not bad but not too good either
9 HEATHER Cox - boring performance
10 BRENNA Getthers - reminded me of the horror that was Bobby Bennett's Copacabana performance...

A Call to all Filipinos: LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD
Tonight I cry because of fear, anxiety and frustration. There is something very wrong with the country today and not enough people care.
Most of us have stopped caring. Regular and endless political bickering, grandstanding and senseless protests has made most of us numb and apathetic towards our nation’s political status.
Yesterday, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared the entire Philippines under a “State of National Emergency.” Having done so has allowed her to arrest without any warrants and interfere with the right to freedom of expression. First to suffer was UP’s Professor Randy David who was marching from UP towards the EDSA Shrine when he was “invited” for questioning. Then, Anakpawis Representative Crispin Beltran was arrested based on a 21-year old case of rebellion against him. Tribune, perceived to be pro-Estrada, was supposedly raided. The Philippine National Police (PNP) downplayed the reported raid by calling it a “strong presence” in the Tribune offices. And as if not content with their “strong presence” at the Tribune office, the PNP has issued a warning to all media organizations who do not follow the “standards” of the Arroyo administration could suffer the same fate.
Many people do not protest against Arroyo not because they trust and believe in her. Rather, they fear the unknown. If not Arroyo, then who? I have asked myself the very same question a hundred times (or more). Raul Roco and Fernando Poe, Jr are both dead. Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson is unusually quiet and seemingly unwilling to step up. Vice-President Noli de Castro is firmly on Arroyo’s side and so is House Speaker Jose de Venecia.
The only logical and legal choice is Senate President Franklin Drilon. Unfortunately, Drilon has failed to strongly convey his stand against Arroyo. He has not sufficiently aligned himself for the opposition. He is, to a certain extent, fence-sitting.
So the country is left with no choice.
Yes, there are no real alternatives to Arroyo. But I don’t think that the choice right now is between Arroyo and somebody else. The choice we make is between democracy and martial law.
And I choose democracy. At this point in time, I don’t even care who leads the country, as long as it is not under martial law or something akin to it.
Although I understand the confusion and conflicting thoughts bothering the minds of most Filipinos, I strongly urge everybody to pick a side. Not for Arroyo or against her, but for democracy or against it. This is not about picking a lesser evil, but about standing up for our rights.
This is a crucial moment for all Filipinos. What we choose and how we express it can be a new way of expressing people power. Rallying in the streets might not be effective any more, but speaking up can be done in other ways.
Personally, I don’t think that going out in the streets at this point in time is the right way of doing it. It only gives Arroyo more ammunition to do as she pleases.
I urge all Filipinos to pick a side and let your voice be heard. Let us not wait for something drastic or tragic to happen before we pick a side. Let us not wait for our right to freedom of expression to be supressed before we make our choice.
This is my way of saying
I PICK DEMOCRACY!
No ifs, no buts.-Maria Jose
