Kellie Pickler's Prom Pic Kellie Pickler's Yearbook Page VoteforTheWorst.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.

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

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.

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 voice2/3 KELLIE Pickler - great

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

Generally, the guys turned in performances that were just ok. Most of them were not bad, but still incomparable to the performances of Lisa Tucker, Mandisa, Katharine Mc Phee and Paris Bennett. Still, last year people said the guys outshone the girls but Carrie Underwood ended up with the prize, so...My Top 6:1 Elliot Yamin - great song choice coupled with a great voice = excellent performance2

Based on their performances this week, my ranking of the 12 girls is as follows:1/2 Lisa Tucker - perfect performace1/2 Katharine McPhee - excellent3 Mandisa - very good but her vocal prowess isn't as strong as Lisa's and Katharine's4 Paris Bennett - undeniably good but IMHO, she over performed and was too jumpy/perky5 Kinnik Sky - good but lacks charisma6 Ayla Brown - very good choice of song

The most shocking thing in the CSI Season 6 Premiere was Warrick Brown's (Gary Dourdan) ring. He and Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) are my favorite CSIs (Gil Grissom is a given). And I was actually looking forward to them hooking up... BOOO to the writers!!! Or maybe they're just toying with us... More Catherine and Warrick please.

Unlike most romantic comedies, I don't think Wimbledon can be considered a chick flick. It's not overly mushy and cutesy.The story is simple and engaging. Even though I am not much of a tennis fan, I was able to relate to the movie. The direction and cinematography made me enjoy the reel tennis matches. And the funny insights into the thoughts of Peter Colt was funny. Both Kirsten Dunst and

Mark Burnett and CBS recognize that after 12 installations of Survivor, something new has to be done to keep viewers interested. Thus, Survivor: Exile Island is nothing like its predecessors. Although, like two previous Survivor seasons, it is set in Panama once again, the man-made forces are very much different this time around. The first Survivor in Panama had Rupert to keep viewers glued. The

Sometimes, I wish I could turn back time.Sometimes, I wish I could change things that can't be changed.Sometimes, I wish I am not who I am.I know it's not healthy and it's not good to be dwelling on the past and the present that is not or never could be.But still, sometimes, doing so is the only thing that can make me smile.Sometimes, I wish that I don't have to wish anymore.

I watched Mulawin and I even enjoyed it a bit (I won't deny it). At the very least, it as worth my P70. I never did watch the TV series and I don't like the two lead actors, nonetheless, I think the movie was entertaining enough. This entry, however, is not really about the movie.

Just had to say this: Stephenie is a bratty, catty, smug bitch who does not deserve to win. I loved her the last time she was on Survivor. But this time around she has been a whiner to a smug bitch. I hope she does not even get in the final four.And don't even get me started on Judd and Lydia. Their just plain irritating. My bets are Danny, Rafe and Cindy.

When I was a kid, about 5 or 6 years old, I was kikay. (Shhh... that's a secret, ok?) I bugged my Mommy to buy me stockings. Those white ones that I could wear to church or when we'd go someplace. Those days, kids that age wore dresses everywhere they went. And I wanted stockings to complement my frilly, itchy dresses and shiny white strapped shoes. And after a few weeks of making kulit,

I first read DECEPTION POINT months ago. And I liked it. Although the topic was a far departure from those in Dan Brown's earlier and more popular books--Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, it basically had the same elements: deception, twists, turns and a good dash of trivia and knowledge here and there.This novel, however, deals more with politics and science. Instead of the Catholic Church

I was able to watch the live satellite feed of the season premiere of The Amazing Race. And it did not disappoint.

Well, here's a little something...Last week, our English 203 class was divided in groups of five. We were supposed to present a mock talk show yesterday. We were grouped last Tuesday, and by Thursday last week, we were already prepared with out topic and the flow of our

The other favorite show of mine last season is VERONICA MARS. The show's lead, Veronica Mars (played by Kristin Bell) is the daughter of the former chief of police of Neptune. Veronica's bestfriend, Lily Kane, was mysteriously killed and Veronica's dad, Keith, accused Lily's rich and powerful father, Jake Kane, of killing her own daughter. However, days after the murder, somebody confessed to

One of my favorite TV shows last season was Lost. It's basically about a bunch of airplane crash survivors, lost in a weird island far away from civilization. The intriguing part is, the isalnd seems to have a life of its own. Imagine a polar bear in a tropical island. Or a delusional Frenchwoman who keeps on talking about "the others." Or people appearing out of nowhere. The shows creators, JJ

Since my TV is still out of order (BOOHOO!!!) , I was forced to do other things today. So I volunteered to make user pics / icons for a cousin of mine. She only sent me one picture and I was able to make 6 decent icons out of it. Here are the six that I made:

After the cheering competition during 1st Yr HS I am quite dismayed that blogging was not yet available when I was in high school coz high school was much, much, much more interesting than my life now. Right now, I blog about politics, books, movies, school, business and work. Not that my life now is not good, it's not just that interesting.1st Year RetreatBack in high school, there was enough

When I first watched the Rent musical on its first run in Manila at the Music Museum, I was initially scandalized but soon recovered and thoroughly enjoyed it. It ROCKED my world. I watched it again when it was mounted at the GSIS Theatre. I love Mark! and Roger! and Collins! and Joanne! and Maureen! and of course ANGEL!I now have the full OST of the broadway cast on my PC and I play it all the

About a year ago, I was able to watch a music video of an acoustic performance on MYX of a relatively unknown local band. The band's name was Hourglass and the song they were singing was "The Last Days." Since then, the song has been a favorite of mine. THE LAST DAYS by Hourglass If today were the last of all days Would it change how you feel, who you are? Would you rise for a moment Above all
