Crowned Dark Horse

I got to watch TV 60s-70s (whichever one) style! Somehow, my tv went black and white recently, so I'm forced to watch everything in grayscale. Hm. So anyway, the finale was okay. Not as exiting as last year, in my opinion. Hee.

ANYWAY! CONGRATULATIONS...KRISTOPHER NEIL ALLEN!



And not to forget dear Adam too. :D When I think about it, Kris deserves the title. He was the most improved contestant from the start of the season till the end. His journey truly represents what American Idol is about: to uncover undiscovered talent and turn them into a star. And Kris has definately proven that ANYONE's dream can come true on that stage. :) Having not much camera time in the early stages of the competition, he has also proven that...well, good things come to those who wait. ;) He has worked hard for it and therefore deserved it.



Aw. One word. Precious.

This year, Kris is the first married person to be an Idol. :D Woo~ Kris! Congratulations to Adam too for making 2nd place. His recognition amongst many stars will definately earn him a spot amongst them as well. Kudos to these two amazing guys. Looking forward to see what they will come up with later. :D

Oh and look who came!




Kudos to the hair-dresser who did li'l D's hair. He looks better!



Aww muh boyz a-huggin'. Precious. Love 'em both. Cookie sang "Permanent" on Idol too. WHICH, he didn't sing in Manila. It was very solemn. I could feel the pain as he sang it. R.I.P Adam Cook. You truly have an amazing brother. :) Aww at Archie for being extra supportive of Cook as well.

I shall end this post with some fun with Kris.



Hee! Goodnight!

Song Of the Day: "No Boundaries" written by Kara DioGuardi sung by both Adam and Kris. I'm addicted to Adam's version. Imho, it's WAY better than he did on stage. It's amazing. Haven't heard Kris' one though, but I'm hoping the key will be toned down a little for his voice. :)

P.S: I didn't know Steve Martin did music. GO STEVE MARTIN! Woo!

Showdown

8 more hours.



When it comes to reality shows, I've grown neutral when it comes to picking a winner. This year we have Adam and Kris as our top two on Idol. My opinions on these two.

Adam: He's definately unique. Both in looks and sound. Haha. My favourite song from him is Mad World. He gives a depressing feeling to it and, wow, I never knew I could like such a deep and depressing song so much. But imho, he really suits broadway or theatre...all that stage stuff. 8D And I like theatre performances. :) He's like a chameleon...and...



...he reminds me of... Dr. Black Jack! The white highlights, the long coat...all of that minus the doctor skills. LoL.

Kris: The most improved in the competition. He hadn't had much camera time or focus during the early stages of the competition, and now he has grown to be one of the top two in the competition. He gives out a Jason Mraz-y vibe imo. Hee. He has grown to get what it takes to be a great artiste. He's chuck full of originality that sets off a nice, relaxed vibe. :) My favourite song? Heartless of course!

And in conclusion, I really don't care, once again, who wins. I love 'em both. Great skills. Great talent. And I'll wish 'em both the best. :)

Song of the day: "Mary Did You Know". I'm listening to the version sung by Clay Aiken. My fav one from the 2nd season. It's really soft and tender. Haha. I know, it's a little too early for Christmas, but in my book, it's never too early for Christmas. :D This song has also covered by Donny Osmond and David Archuleta.

Nocturnal? Insomnia?

How do I feel?



I tried not sleeping today. So I tried sleeping early at 8:30 pm. However, this lead to me waking up at midnight and being unable to sleep after that. Plan A= FAILED!

I have a Plan B though. That is... not sleeping throughout the day with the help of coffee. Usually coffee drains my energy that I've used up after being hyper. If this doesn't work. *sigh* Call me the vampire. :P

Song of the day: "Note to God" by Charice. I love Charice. She's so sweet and her voice is so...WOW. She's one of my favourite young singers besides little Connie Talbot. :D Even though her voice sounds more mature than she looks, she has real talent.

Under the Weather

Mmhh.

It's 4:30 am. And seriously I can't sleep. This morning I woke up at 2pm, slept at 4pm, woke up again at 7pm for dinner, read a book, and slept at 9pm and woke up again later and here I am now. I didn't want to go back to sleep again because it will drain my energy further. Oh goodness this is NOT GOOD. I'm getting the flu. Probably because of my insomnia. Ugh. I hate this. I never get sick. Not in the past two years at least. Trying to keep myself well. :(

Oh temporary header up above. Haha.

I wont be online in the morning for this week. Or at least until the family computer is fixed 'cause my mum will be using this laptop at work. Dang. But oh well eh. At least I can catch up on stuff I never gotten around to do. Haha.

My music teacher says that Filipinos are really good in music. :)



and apparently Shontelle thinks so too. She loves Charice! Woo! :)

I Read the News Today, Oh Boy.

I like naming my post titles after songs and lyrics.

Anyway. Oh dear. :(

"KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Malaysia confirmed its second case of swine flu Saturday in a woman who recently returned from the United States on the same flight as the first person in the country to test positive for the virus.

Ramlee Rahmat, the Health Ministry deputy director-general, said the woman, a student, arrived Wednesday and was hospitalized Friday in northern Penang state."

More here.

I went to the hospital to visit my grandma and there were nurses at the entrance spraying hand sanitizers on peoples' hands before going in. My mum was like "Only hands? No masks?"

So anyway, my sister is 7 years old. Actually children under the age of 12 aren't allowed to go in the hospital. The doctor I spoke with said that there is a suspected case of H1N1 in the hospital. But idk where the quarantince room is. So yeah. He pointed out that my sis and my bro (who is 16 actually) aren't allowed to come in. See, bro. You need to eat your veggies. Even the doctor can see thru you. He said I was old enough though. Made me feel old. But yeah, thanks.

LOL We also had this awkward conversation.

Doc: *asked my sis* How old are you?
Sis: Seven
Doc: Do you know those cute little pigs that has been causing the virus?
Me: Is it REALLY from pigs? They're not mutated or anything?
Doc: If you want mutated...take the H5N1 and H1N1. Diffuse it and it will become H1N5. And that will be twice as deadly.
Me: ...
Doc: Of course there's no such thing. Yet.
Me: ...yet...
Doc: Well that's just the doctors' theory. Don't go off scaring your friends yea.

But the doctor was friendly. LoL.

Oh and I met my dad's side of the family. And as usual, I don't know/ can't remember them. And wow were they loud. Oh the embarassment.

I don't want to worry about this virus thing actually. It'll just make matters worse. Keep a positive spirit and enjoy our time right now. :)

Sharp Dressed Man

Geh. I still feel uncomfortable calling David a man. But yeah. Mmhkay. Okay, remember when David said he shopped in Topman in Malaysia? Here are some stuff I found in Topman's line of clothing. :) Yes, apparently I have too much time on my hands. Haha.



Outfit number one: David's Showcase in Malaysia. I know that the colours were different...but this was the closest colours/pattern/type of clothes I could find to match his. :D

ETA: Oh, apparently he bought the showcase clothes from the U.S. ...no wonder it's not the same colour eh? Haha So it's NOT Topman I guess. Oh well interesting to see that there were similar designs there too. :P Thanks Shuyee for pointing that out. Hee. ♥



Outfit number two: Red and Blue checks. During his time in Manila.



Outfit number three: Blue, White and Grey checks with a black skinny tie. During his performance in Manila. :D

That's just about it for now. Haha. He seems to love, love, love checks. Oh yea, Topman is a UK brand if I'm not mistaken. And their shirts and ties range from 50 pounds and above. I'm like WOAH. Haha.

Time of My Life

16 May 2009- 17 May 2009.

Even from home. Yes it was. My two fav Davids in the world. In one place. One day. Epic awesomeness. I just HAD to make this.



Two words. Lucky Philippines. LoL! But I srsly spazzed in my seat at home here. Haha. Bet I sounded super annoying flailing on chatroll last night. I'm not usually like that. Hm. :P This picture is dedicated to all my friends. Those whom I know and I don't know. Those who went and did not. To Sheba and Rusharr for the earliest vids, to Kylie and Justine our AAM authors, to James who asked Cook my question and got it answered, to those who didn't get to watch it and to those who did, to those who were chatrolling,to those who did the cellcast, to those who favour/don't favour Cook. And of course, to Davids Archuleta and Cook, their bands, Jeff, and their tour managers. I love everyone the same. Looking at that 150K crowd is just amazing.

Things I loved about the concert:

Archuleta: He sang Zero Gravity! He danced! His voice was AMAZING! The "pants falling down" thing at the end of You Can! He whistled to Your Eyes Don't Lie! 8D

Cook: He said "Give it up for David Archuleta. He's my best friend". He sang Always be My Baby, Light On and Come Back to Me. :) He "married off" his bandmate and his fan! L0L! He saved the best for last and sang A Daily AntheM (also known as ADA.M from the highlighted bits. The song dedicated to his brother Adam)

Both Davids: They watched each other sing. They sang together during ADA.M. (Archie singing the last line at least which made my cry like heck omgosh) Their EPIC! hug adfghjkasdfghjk.

Other EPIC!things that happened.



Shontelle tweeted me back. She said she liked La Roux. So I told her that I've only listened to "Quicksand" and "In for the Kill" and ask her about any suggestions of songs I should hear. :) Awesomeness y/y?

And...this fan vid of the pairing Rachel and Joey from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. by bumcrackmosh. Dedicated to me with the song "You Can" by David Archuleta. Short, sweet, and it made me tear up, dang.

Thankful. Oh ever so thankful.
