but there's still place in those pockets!
dreaming away
as the month of may leaves us with days of unforgiving heat, let me share with you some cool landscapes that i hope will be in my front yard someday.
.
i'd love to wake up in the morning and drink to the beauty of these places - right outside my windows, right outside my doorstep.
imagine feasting your eyes on deep blue sea and clear blue skies during the day... and in the night, the flickering city lights!
nothing beats the peace and serenity brought by this lush green rolling hills. it's the kind of country life that can take 10 years off your city-worn-out face
this can be my view or that can be my own house. either way, i'm sure it gives breath taking views from sunrise to sunset.
this scenery can only mean one thing: peace and silence that is only disturbed by the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves and the soft humming of the wind. whatta life!
ok, this is more like a philippine farming area but still one awesome view to have right at your doorsteps. imagine those green rice paddies turning to gold when it's harvest time. and the fresh, cool air that needs no airconditioning. it's one beautiful place to exist.darn, i dream a lot don't i! hahaha

hotnot: the hayden kho scandal getting more and more controversial by the day. spreading horizontally as more and more personalities and cause-oriented groups get involved and vertically as it has grown from a single youtube upload to something that has merited a senate investigation. it is becoming the daily staple of people who loves gossips and controversies no matter what social strata they belong to. and that includes me as well as most of people i know (so you can’t say i’m being self-righteous here). once again, it proved that we, as a race, have the voracious appetite for something sensational rather what is sensible. as for the senate hearing, i just hope they will not waste their precious time delving into this brouhaha 
and end up with nothing just like the other countless investigations they have already conducted.

hothot: brillante ‘dante’ mendoza winning the best director award from the recently concluded cannes film festival via his film called kinatay. after almost 3 decades since brocka brought the philippine movies to the consciousness of the europeans, this win is a validation that we have a film industry which is just as competitive as the rest of the world. we may have been snubbed by the oscars for the longest time but this cannes win may be a bit of a slap on their haughty little asses. it’s a pity that dante’s win, a glorious moment for the local moviedom, is eclipsed by the not so palatable issue about hayden.

lambert losing
Even before the finale was shown in MBC4, I already knew Kris Allen won the 8th season of AI, thanks to on-line newspapers in the Philippines where they broadcast the show a da
y earlier. Kaya hindi ko na rin pinag-interesan na panoorin yong final showdown nila.
y earlier. Kaya hindi ko na rin pinag-interesan na panoorin yong final showdown nila. A couple of weeks back when Danny Gokey was eliminated, na-disappoint na ako. Coz I thought it’s Danny and Adam who deserve to battle it out in the finals. Between Gokey and Allen kasi, it’s Gokey who can put up a better fight against the very versatile and talented Adam. Hindi tulad ni Allen na parang hindi match. Cute lang kasi at pang-boy band ang dating pero kulang sa vocal prowess.
So I was wrong dahil na-eliminate nga si Gokey. And, as if to prove me wrong again and again, hindi pa rin si Adam ang nag-win. It was Allen na sinasabi kong less talented of a singer pero sya daw binoto ng American texters. I wonder why.
In one of the on-line forums, ang isang reason na nabasa ko kaya daw nanalo si Allen is that he got the young vote. Dahil bata pa at mas nakaka-relate ang mga teenager sa kanya, aside from the fact na gwaping nga, kaya sya ang binoto ng mga teenagers na karamihan ay mga babae pa. Adam daw kasi is a bit older na kaya hindi na type ng mga bagets. Eh ano ba naman ang percentage ng teenage vote sa 100 million votes na sinasabi ni Ryan Seacrest? Hindi kaya mas maraming pang-text ang mga may trabaho na, those in their 20’s and 30’s kesa sa mga teenager?
Tsaka, if that is the reason, balik tayo sa season 7 and ask why hindi rin nag-win si David Archuleta who is a bit younger compared to Allen? Kung teenage vote ang nagpapanalo, why did the cute and lovable Archie lost to the more mature and sometimes snobbish Cook? Coz it’s cook who can sing better between the two? Yon payag ako. But that contradicts Kris Allen’s win. Coz it’s Lambert who’s more talented between the two. Obvious naman masyado di ba?
So what’s it really? Ganon ba ka-unpredictable ang taste ng American voters pagdating sa kanilang idol?
Coz really, if it is the same voting public who chooses the winner season after season, there should be some pattern established by now. But do you see any?
Season 1 went to a white pop-rock girl in the person of Kelly Clarkson. Then Season 2 to rnb black dude Rubin Studdard. Season 3 to power-belter black girl Fantasia Barrino. Then Season 4 to the country blond girl Carrie Underwood. Season 5 to standards/soul guy Taylor Hicks. Season 6 to the pop teen-ager Jordin Sparks and finally Season 7 to the rocker hunk David Cook.
What do you see? May pattern ba?
What do you see? May pattern ba?
What I can see is a broad spectrum of talents, age, gender, skin color and musical genre. Yan ba ang binoboto ng iisang fan base for 8 seasons? Think again.
Which leads me to thinking – hindi kaya ito ang mandate ng AI organizers themselves? Na dapat may variety sa winners, hindi pwedeng may pareho ang musical genre on the same gender/age? Why? To avoid direct competition pagdating sa album sales, what else! and that's the reason why lambert lost. otherwise, agaw sila sa market share ni david cook.
Which means, hindi totoo yang text voting na yan. The winner is eventually determined by the powers behind AI, not the text votes. Darn, was I that dumb it took 8 seasons for me to figure this out? Hahahaa!!!
