Wohoooo!!!! What more can I say?!?!?!?

Congratulations to Lee DeWyze for Winning the American Idol Season 9!!!

answered prayer!

It was definitely an amazing journey. And I am so glad I get to watched it in the big screen! Thanks to Greenwich Pizza and Star World for making it possible. A lot of freebies, food and photo sessions! And the best thing about it, everything was for free!!! Real COOL!!!

I also have my Golden Ticket!XD

We are going to Hollywood!=P

hayyyyy...still so surreal. Just like Lee's first single, This is such a Beautiful Day indeed.

Lee Dewyze

Now that the final performance is over (and though I must admit that tonight's performance of Lee is not his best), I am still rooting for him. After all, after watching AI for 9 seasons now, we all know pretty well that the final 2 performance is not much of a guarantee for the AI title. Take for instance what happened during David Cook and Kris Allen's season. And I am hoping Lee's fate would be the same.

I wouldn't mind another guitar-playing-white-guy to win for the 3rd time. And I would say that Lee's performance of Hallelujah during the top 3 performance is much like Kris Allen's Heartless which had sealed his seat for the top 2 and eventually for the title. If it's not too much to ask, history will repeat itself tomorrow. ^_^

And I am excited because I'd be watching it on the big screen. Yes, you read it right ON THE BIG SCREEN. haha. Thanks to Greenwich Pizza for the upcoming oppurtunity. XD

So if you are still in doubt if Lee does deserve to be given the title, watch this Video. It's one of my favorite Idol moment ever.

I was out for some shopping to day. It's my rest day and since I am pretty much bored gawking at my Cisco review material I decided to go out and grab something to eat that instead turned out to be a little shopping experience. Let myself indulge for some personal vanities. I bought myself some short board short (lol, hope that's not redundant). You see, we'd be having our company outing this coming Sunday and Monday so I'm trying to get ready for it. I also bought myself a pair of two piece swim wear.

LOL. Haha. kidding. =P But who knows, still got time to decide whether I'd go swimming or not.XD haha. Such a girly stuff.

Talking about girly stuffs, an office mate asked me straight out if I finally have a boyfriend. The answer is a big NO of course. She said she thought I already have one cause I was wearing this tight-fitting black jeans, blouse and a pair of sandals. Just let me say this once, ehem: she said I'm pretty and sexy. LOL. OK. I'll leave it at that. I'll set aside my bravado from here on.

But come to think about it, I think it's just a natural reaction of other people to see me in a different kind of outfit. Take for instance the other night. I decided to go for work wearing this little black dress and I did not intend to create a little commotion but I guess I did. Common questions/reactions includes: What's wrong with you? What have you eaten? Did you came from a date? Do you have a date right after work?

Haha. Crazy questions. I'd just laugh out loud and tell them that I am still in a non-sober state so that's why I thought of this crazy idea. And you don't actually need to have a boyfriend to actually look good. And I'd jokingly add that I'm already 22 (almost 23 now) and definitely needs some change.

But yes, it definitely feels good to look good and feel good inside-out. I still don't think I am now fashionable. Blue jeans, tees and rubber shoes are still the best for me and they will forever be my fashion sense.

I just find it amusing to surprise people and prove them wrong that I could actually wear this dress or walk naturally with heels. It's really really amusing.

And I think somebody from the office has a crush on me. LOL. OK OK. I'll leave it at that again.

But I'm feeling real good today. It really helps to have a long good night sleep. Not to mention my dream. But that would be a different story. Yeah maybe a different blog entry.^_^

I've had 6 bottles of GPS in take in just a week time. Although it's not really an everyday habit like I'd have a bottle today, then skip it tomorrow, then have 4 bottles the next day, skip it again and another one the next next day. I don't know how many bottles of liquor one should drink before you'd tag him/her as a drunkard. But I think I am becoming one. LOL.

But seriously thinking about it, what's really happening to me? I mean, definitely, this is not me. But yeah, maybe that's the new me: The Drunkard in the making. LOL.

Haha. Yeah. Sorry, I'm trying to be serious here but anyway, I think there's nothing remotely wrong with drinking as long as it's moderate and you won't skip work, or that you won't spend your entire budget to that perk. And most especially, as long as you are with the people you trust. In my case back here in Cebu, there are only 2 instances that I'd dare myself to grab a bottle of liquor. One, if I'm with Mark---my brother's best friend/my classmate/my-tagalog-movie-watching-buddy. And Two, if I'm with Sue---my supervisor/ fellow single, smart, sexy and successful lady (SSSSL). XD

As I come to think about it, I can honestly say that my non-blogging days is not just because I'm busy at work (I still am) but because I've found some way to somehow spend my free time with other people. Although I still do occasionally watch movies alone, dine out alone or go malling alone. I think some quality time alone is something we all need and personally hard for me to give up.

In vino veritas. In wine there's the truth.

Somehow that's my logic every time I chug down a bottle of GPS although technically of course that's not a wine. That maybe under the influence of alcohol I might as well blurt it all out then blame my non-sober state for saying such things. But yeah, maybe that's just me. That even though I feel like my world's already spinning and going round and round I still will not entirely talk about it. Guess we just have our own way of being boozed up.

Sometimes I wonder: What would you do if I'm drunk and you're the reason for it?

Cause if there's any confession I would make for such muddled state that would be a broken promise to myself that I will never drink because of a guy.

Guess I just did.

Politics.

It came from two root words: Poly and Ticks. Poly meaning many and Ticks meaning blood sucking insects. Ticks are considered as parasites. They live longer at the expense of their hosts. Who ever thought of coining the word politics might have thought of the same way. After all, we can more or less compare most of our politicians to this kind of pest.

In totality: Politics for me then means: That's a lot of parasites.

It's the first ever automated election that our country ever had. It's pretty amazing. Although, if there's something I can complain, I fall in line longer than I did 3 years ago. But the agony of waiting for the election results is definitely shorter than the last elections this country had. It took only more or less 24 hours for us to know who will most likely lead this country for the next 3 or 6 years. It only took 24 hours to know that though the mode of election of this country had changed, the mentality of its people still remain stagnant.

The election results is disappointing. And yes that's because of course most of the people I've voted did not make it. You can say I am a bitter but it's really frustrating to see the names of those people who obviously simply won because of popularity and not because they are competent enough to do the job.

And you know what's really frustrating me? Is seeing the name of that person we all had condemned because of corruption going head to head for the race for Presidency. Are we Pinoy really this forgiving? Voting for somebody (again) who had been convicted of Plunder? It's really true then, we are the most forgiving people. Or maybe I'm wrong. We can change that then to the most forgetful people. Or maybe we are just simply say we are just plain stupid.

At tingnan mo yung senado, may plano atang gumawa ng Action movie: Bong Revilla, Jinngoy Estrada and Lito Lapid?!?!?! WTF!!!!!! we can add Tito Sotto on the list as well pwede na silang gumawa ng isang corny na pinoy movie.

Oh well, that's the thing about democracy, we have to go with the majority. We just got to respect what most people think is good for this country. Or maybe we can just give these new leaders some benefit of the doubt. Let's give them a chance to prove their worth. And I genuinely wish I am wrong with being prejudice over them.

But I don't know... I just can't help but wonder when will this country finally grow up.

When will we ever learn?

My back is aching from sitting all day. I lack sleep or make that I haven't really slept at all. This suppose to be 7-8 hour trip was extended to 11 hours. The heat was excruciating. I longed for bed. For my weary eyes to close. But I wasted 3 hours of my life before I finally saw the fairy-boat. I overheard a guy saying that there was an engine trouble. Of all days of the week, of all occasions, it happened today.

Just my luck.

Note to self: Buy a plane ticket as early as possible if you're planning to go home. It can save you time, energy and sanity.

Back in the office, whenever someone will ask me why I'm going home this weekend, my usual response was, I'm going home for election. Of course there's truth in it. This right to suffrage only comes once every three years and of course I want to exercise it. But more than that reason, I know I badly needed rest. Like a total withdrawal from work. I have to take time to find some way to relax and to at least cool my head down and find genuine happiness. Don't get me wrong. Of course I am happy at work. It's just that I've been so into it that I sometimes dream of it or wake up and it's the very first thought the enters my mind. I think that's a manifestation that I do love my work. LOL. I mean, just like when you love this person, he's the last thought before you go to sleep and your first when you woke up. LOL. But in reality of course, that could only mean one thing: STRESS.

And so I thought I badly need to find some way to put a smile on that face.

And election time is such a great escape to go home.

And so I'll try not to think of the pending cases, of the 2 beefy books that I have to study, of the upcoming quiz this Saturday. I'll try not to think of my crush. lol

But yeah, it's just so good to be back.^_^
