Ronald McDonald's Children

Just browsing around youtube looking for some Filipino films and stumbled some of these quite interesting videos.





Interesting indeed, so who's the wife?

OMG! Allison Iraheta is out of American Idol.

I couldn't believed what my eyes were telling me. It's Allison's final AI journey a.k.a defaced from AI. She is one of those really talented singers I admired in this tough competition. I believe she was able to sing and gave justice to the song last Wednesday compared to Kris' rendition of the Beatles song.

Anyway, as I have said it's the people of America who gets to decide. Sad to say she showed an attitude last night when Simon gave his critique.

Anyway, she deserves a spot in this blog and hope you guys who are reading would not mind watching her clip.




I'd still want to see her perform though. But her curtain in AI has been closed so just good luck to her and hope she can make outside of American Idol. She's young and very talented and she has a long way to go.

Lastly, may the great talent wins. Weeehhhh final three is going to be awesome and I should not miss it {crossing my toes}....

Lil Rounds and AnoopDog bids good bye to American Idol

Yeah you read it right! Sigh :)

Both of these talented singers were axed from this tough competition. Lil Rounds did a good number but not good enough to please Simon. Indeed, people of America must have been convinced by him. She is talented though and I believe she has a long way to go with her singing.

Annop Desai had the same fate. He may have received praises from the three judges but it was Simon's made the turning point. If you watch his performance, it was pretty good actually but not maybe good enough to convince Simon and ultimately, America.

Both were showing few votes and were always on the bottom three. Good thing Matt saved himself during his stage performance and true enough, the viewers made him stay.

Anyways, here are videos of Lil and Anooop!







Thanks ever reliable youtube for the videos.

David Archuleta, the runner up of the last AI season also graced the show and it was cool. He said he will be going to UK tomorrow to promote his music so to all the fans, go and flock UK. He came to Singapore actually just recently but I am not so of a fan, thus, I did not show up but instead I watched the concert of Side A.

Scott MacIntyre and Matt Giraud in American Idol

It was Scott MacIntyre's demise last week in American Idol. He was a truly inspiring singer - very brave of him to follow his passion. But too bad it was the people of America who had the vote to cut his streak in the show. But with those weeks that we've followed and knew Scott, I bet all of us must have been inspired one way or another. I know he will still shine someday and hope he will be given another chance to play his music. Anyway, thanks to my ever loyal video-portal friend youtube and I have this clip to show. Let's watch him.



This is another video of Scott:



And right now, it was announced that Lil and Matt at the bottom two as Anoopdog was saved. Anyway it's really exciting but it was Matt who is going to leave but not yet, he was saved by the judges. Next week, there will be two idols leaving though.
Anyway here is Matt's performance yesterday:



Matt is actually a good singer but I don't think his performance is as inspiring as that of Scott. But it was the jury's decision to save him and let's see him prove himself next week. I sometimes like his performance though and sometimes I think it's over rated.

Next week's American Idol is really going to be exciting.

And oh, I love Jennifer Hudson's performance :)

I'm not over with Side A yet!

Side A announced that they will be releasing their newest album. In fact, they sang a song which will be part of their will-be latest release. I was scouring youtube for this new song and I couldn't find it. Geez it was a teaser. Anyway, I checked one of their hits and here it is. Hope you guys can enjoy this clip:




I guess Side A is really popular because of their songs. I mean their songs are really nice and full of meaning. Mostly, their songs are about love which all can connect or relate to. Basically, one will surely fall in love with their songs.

I'm seeing my family again - Take 2!

In my most recent blog, I have announced I am going home to Cebu. I don't want to announce the date but I think I will be out blogging for three to four days. Since I am so excited about it, I was thinking of what song or drama that will describe this. I was checking out youtube again, as usual as ever. And there, I found Faith Hill's song, "There you'll be". I think the song does not describe of someone leaving and never coming back. I find it more about on treasuring a memory. There you are!

Treasuring memories was the thing being amplified.

I have with me lots of memories - sad and joys. I wish I can only take the happy thoughts or memories but sad things happen. I feel that I need to also be reminded of them for me to be adamant, resilient, and passionate about pursuing what makes me happy.

It's obvious, pretty obvious that I am uber excited. I am assured that more of these memories will be in my bag when I get back to Cebu.

3AM Strikes

Yesterday was a little busy for me. I had to really manage my time wisely. The work that I have became so freaking demanding of my time. It's not that I'm complaining about the whole thing being so difficult but in a way getting into my nerves because of the fact that it's so time consuming. With the kind of nonsensical build environment and the waiting and the stupid behavior it has. I wish I knew the hard rudiments of ant to at least remedy it but it's not the case.

Well I was tasked to raise the jcoverage of the whole branch and it's crazy. The idea of making things work blew me up. The idea of me having to read the codes of others and understand everything is crazy. I have to admit though that what really blew my mind up is the fact that they did not have sample data input and output which made it kind of difficult because I needed to reconstruct all of these data files based on their schema. I have managed to make the unit tests of some alien modules but not everything. Even if I will have to make a clone of myself to help me work it out, I'd still not finish it.

The odd thing is they were making tests but were incomplete. If they have identified that unit tests were part of their SDLC then they should have alloted time to have it as part of their actual process. Period!

What I have told myself was just cool off. Just do what you can do and ask some assistance to the people who knew better. I don't know what they were trying to ask of me all I know they gave me the responsibility so I have to make it work.

Well the day ended with some build failures and just comment them out to remedy them momentarily.

Olga, Agnes and I went to KFC to eat for our dinner. We were waiting for our condo lady to get our monthly rental. Well I sent an SMS that we were at Dela Rosa KFC waiting. It rained so hard so we needed to stay there a little bit. Our condo lady replied to me that she will just wait for us at Rufino Plaza and that we need not to rush. When we were done at KFC we headed to Rufino Plaza to meet Ms. Gemma and pay the rent. We then headed to Krispy Kreme but a little surprise as Olga and Agnes told me that they were going to check some condo units at Cityland Ayala so I went by myself to KK. It was actually the fist business meeting that I have with Arjay who was a classmate of mine in CIT. So much for that. I was there at KK and ordered ginger ale and new york cheesecake. Hmmm sounds gluttony! Well I love sweets and I can't help myself ....

I was actually having issues with my wireless connection. My wireless g network device seemed not to pick-up any wireless signal. Well I gave up. I thought the drivers of this broadcom thing was corrupted. Anyway after a few minutes, Olga and Agnes came to KK and told me that the rain soaked them - bubble thought hehehehhe that was it because you left me, toinks. Anyway Arjay came and we had business. He installed a virtual pc in my OS. It took around an hour to have it set. Arjay sort of explained things to me and it made me a little excited. Well KK will be closing so we finished the whole thing we could, and set out to call it a night. The group actually discussed some technical and personal stuff. It was fun and exciting!

We part ways and went home at around 11pm I guess. Because of the fact that my wireless connection didn't work left me a little fidget. So when we came home I went ahead looking for the driver of my wireless g device without even changing my clothes. I went to the ladies room to have a chit-chat. I took my laptop with me in their crib with the driver of course. I reinstalled the drivers and kablam to my surprise it worked. Guess what? It even detected some wireless signals. Hehehehehe evil grin. Actually prior to that we were talking about some of our personal lives, you know sharing what we have, where we came from, and things related to that. It sorted of made you feel connected to the people around you and made you feel somehow different too. It feels different and amazing to understanding their roots. I'm glad to have known them so much deeper and better. Well Mamul welcome to the house. Anyway there was an unsecured network meaning to say it does not have any security toinks, 64bit or 128 bit encryption, wep or wpa ecryption. So we got our connection for free and still have it right at this very moment while I am creating this blog. Hmmmm. We watched Charice over youtube and played it over and over again. We were looking for some of Charice's other videos and it was fun and ala Olga from her radio-listening-quotable-quotes and I quote, "it doesn't change the fact that you are cheating". We got a stolen wireless connection.

My eyes were getting tired and felt sour. Is there such a word for the eye when it's sleepy? Anyway it's already 3AM and so I packed my stuff and left for bed. Zzzzzzzz.
