Once again I've got American Idol fever. I haven't missed an episode (I think). Well, not since they narrowed it down to 24, at least. I feel the way a lot of people do --- that the guys seem to have a monopoly on the talent this time around. I mean, when you've got Anwar, Mario, Nikko (bless him, I can't believe they let him go so soon!) and Bo, who can pay attention to Janay (I hated her the minute I heard her sing!), Mikalah (uurgh, she is so annoying),
Amanda (ok, bem nga siya pero wala siya sa kalingkingan nina Latoya London dati) and Lindsey (cute but boring)? The only girls I like are Nadia and Carrie. But I still don't think they can beat the likes of Anwar or Mario. (Sana sila ang matirang top 2!)

Actually, Mario is my personal favorite but I'm rooting for Anwar as well. Anwar is obviously more skilled vocally, pero astig gumalaw si Mario! And, he looks like Wilmer Valderrama from That '70s Show. Don't believe me?

:) 


Trivia: Wilmer Valderrama is of Venezuelan origin. Tapos yung name ng character niya na Fez actually stands for Foreign Exchange Zstudent, which is what he technically is. That's according to the people in charge of the show. Hahaha.

I hope they kick out Constantine soon. Medyo nagiging one-trick pony na siya. I don't think he'll last long. And I don't understand the hype surrounding him. I saw a forum that called him a Greek god. There is nothing god-like about his stubbly face, beer gut, or voice (which is the most important thing in this competition!).

The whole week was spent finishing one paper and starting another. Found time on Tuesday for a treatment. I've discovered a new salon that's much cheaper than David's and Hairbytes, in the Pasig area. I decided not to fight the natural wavy tendency of my hair any longer, and went with it instead. I was surprised and pleased with the result, and so was Kelvin, who actually liked it! Wavy is in, anyway :)

Thursday afternoon I was at Sound Creation Studio where the 'worms are recording. Ang saya! The place is owned by Shinji Tanaka, a Japanese who's been here for the last 15 years. He's recorded a lot of great Pinoy artists, like Joey Ayala. The studio's actually in his house in the Visayas Ave. area, and reaallly cozy with a large sofa, where everyone was hanging out. CD was there too, and Kerwin the 'worms manager, and Gab from Parokya (whom I met just that day and talked about figurine collecting with). Everyone was goading Shinji and me into speaking Nihongo. Dyahe si Shinji kasi ang tagal na daw niyang hindi nagsasalita. Hehe. Ang galing niyang mag-Tagalog kaya hindi na kailangang mag-Nihongo :) I've really missed the 'worms, especially since I haven't been to a gig of theirs since...uh...last year?

Shit, it's almost 12 and already I'm so sleepy. This paper will have to wait til tomorrow...
