Click the button above for UPCAT results page on the net. If you live far from UP Diliman or you just want to know the results fresh, I’d be going to the Office of the University Registrar on January 18th, Sunday, the supposed date of release of the UPCAT Results for the August 2008 UPCAT exam. If you want, I could check your names on the list! (more…) Popularity: 10% [?] Vote for Miss Pisme!Thursday, December 11th, 2008Lately, I have been very much busy with my organization PiSME. One of the reasons why I haven’t blogged much. Here’s to hoping you can help me and our very own candidate Miss Pisme
 — Miss PSME  Popularity: 1% [?] Future Engineer’s Second Semester ThoughtsMonday, November 17th, 2008Probably, this semester would be the most challenging. I know that this would be nearly as chaotic as last semester but what the heck — I have to face this and try to do my best to at least be my old self again. The one who studies and prepares a lot for examinations; the one who’s always ready ’cause he always know it all. Here, I made a list of goals I have to meet for this semester. Academics With a very supportive set of orgmates, coursemates and barkada dormmates, I should do well. On the brighter note, I can focus more on my other organization Pisme’. I was able to head an event last semester. I’m looking forward to show more of my skills and do my best for the betterment of the organization. It also enables me to get closer and connected with my coursemates. Example? I have feelings for someone I should not be having for that person. I know that this kind of relationship might not work and might not be applicable for a long term one. But still, knowing the Mr. Hopeless Romantic that I am, would try to make it work. At least, for me to be happy. I have an admiration for a colleague right now and I’m not really sure if it would be a good move to tell that person what I feel. It would be a lot easier if that person likes me too. Well, let’s call that person Angel. And Angel’s already taken. At least, that what Angel said. But, I still think we had a lot of chemistry. I just have to be more sensitive and be more understanding of the situation. I’d probably not tell Angel what I really feel — not until I’m ready to be with this person.
I hope that Angel would be a really good prospect. I just want to know how Angel feels and I hope that Angel will be able to accept me for all I am. Pero siyempre, I have to look good for Angel. P.S. This is the first entry I made which took me about two to three hours to finish. Nabura kasi ‘yung unang draft without saving. Tanga ko ‘di ba? Popularity: 1% [?] My COLORGENICSMonday, November 17th, 2008 Name: Rommel You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back… so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens. You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape. Your mental state of mind necessitates that you need to change your thinking patterns. Remember, if one particular modus operandi doesn’t seem to work, then try something different. You are not an argumentative sort of person and ‘rather than fight – you’d switch’ (an old cigarette ad cliche). But when you try to assert yourself – as sometimes you may try to do – you meet with so much resistance and effrontery that manifests itself so obviously that you become hurt, indignant and resentful. So in order to have peace and quiet you tend to become inhibited. You keep it all to yourself but deep down, you ‘feel’ and ‘hurt’ a lot. Whatever has caused the situation, you just don’t seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord: you are like the tide, flotsam and jetsam… One minute you experience ‘highs’ and a few moments later ‘lows’. This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and with this demanding attitude – the ideal state you desire is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you and you find it difficult to listen to or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle. You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.
Popularity: 1% [?] Stalkers, My Second Semester A.Y. 2008-2009 Schedule! Haha.Wednesday, November 5th, 2008After three deadly days, I almost pass out because ES 13 is so mailap. Imagine, one teacher even had an interview just for the students to get slots for the subject. I brought two friends in the interview, and one of my friends was granted the slot. I was mummified. If I didn’t bring my friend there, I could’ve gotten the slot. But God is so kind, there’s a newly opened section that I was able to ge in. I cancelled my ES 12 TTh class in conflict and went straight to another professor to prerog for his ES 12 WF class.
 Yes, I know that my schedule’s pretty heavy during WF’s but I like it this way. It would allow me to make use of my TTh afternoons in preparation for WF days. That also means I can still have a parttime work, maybe tutorials, afternoons of TTh. My Monday class is the only schedule of the subject so, there’s no choice but to have a Monday class. I hope this semester would be a blast for me and for you and the entire human race. HAHA. Corny. That’s it. I’ll just have to pay tomorrow and get myself enrolled, officially.
Popularity: 1% [?] CRS ResultsTuesday, November 4th, 2008Last time, I had the following schedule. TTh WF After the second batch run, wherein I cancelled ES 13 (10-11:30) since I want a better professor, my schedule looks like this. TTh After the third batch run, wherein I enlisted some GE’s and ME 73. My schedule looks like this. M WF Take note that my GE 1 and ES 12 were removed from the list even though I know that my ES 12 and GE 1 were ranked higher than ME 73 and ME 165. RARR. So I need ES 12, ES 13 so I cancelled ME 165. After the third batch run, the schedule looks like this. TTh WF Arggh! My TTh class is really way off of my preffered schedule. Yes, my schedule’s pretty messed up. I’ll cancel Lingg 1 later since I want my TTh afternoons off. This is my preferred schedule: TTh WF I hope tomorrow I will be able to get the schedule I prefer. Popularity: 1% [?] Rest.Monday, November 3rd, 2008Yes, after a week-long full of stress – just to make sure that my remaining grades are passing, I had my well-deserved, long-awaited semestral break. What I was thinking is how I could fit everything I have to do in just four days.
That was Wednesday. After I learned that I passed ES 21, I shouted “Yes, makakauwi na rin ako.” It was a moment. Golden, perhaps. At least, it gave the two professors in front of me at that time, a reason to burst a laugh due to me, careless of what other people in the Engineering Science department may think, shouting my heart out that I can now go home – worry-free. I felt ecstatic. After a few days of camping outside that office. I listed a few things I should cover within the four days of break. Number one in my priority would be setting up a mini-reunion with my highschool mates. Number two was to pay a visit with my dentist. Number three was to study the first few chapters of the ES 12 book (so that I would be able to pass the course next semester). Number four on my list would be planning the subjects I’d be taking up in the future semesters. Fifth, schedule the interview sessions for my organization’s application. And sixth, spend some quality time together with my family. I have accomplished most in my list, I think. So, even with so little time and so much to do, I definitely had a worthy mini-sembreak. I can’t say that I had a blast but it sure was fun taking a rest for a while and not to worry much but to lay down in my bed the whole day or to watch my favorite series and of course — EAT. Its also a tradition (whenever I go home for semestral break )that I’d be the one in charge in cooking! So yeah, I’m pretty much the head of the kitchen for the past few days. I don’t consider it as an obligation ’cause I enjoy doing it. Well, serving my parents while at home, would be the least thing I can do for all the things they’ve done for me. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed your sembreak too! As of now, I’m already here in Manila, getting ready for takeoff. Surely, this semester would be a lot harder than the previous one. Even this enrolment thing makes my mind go crazy. I’ve got to sleep now. I have a seven o’clock appointment with my ineligibility status tomorrow, and I’m sure it’d be one hectic day. Popularity: 1% [?] Finally.Saturday, October 18th, 2008The semester’s almost over. All I have to do is wait for the results and meet the professors to beg, for them to pass me in their subjects, and professors who bite this kind of begging. They are rare. Almost inexistent.
Earlier, I took two exams — the last out of a dozen, I had to take this past two weeks, excluding two Final papers for Anthropology 10. Out of the six subjects for this semester, on both of these subjects I have a failing status since the first exam. I burned the midnight oil just to secure that I’ll pass at least one of the two subjects. Even if I know I need 101.14% for the Finals in ES 12, I still took the exam, even if not reviewing. My professor confronted me that I need not take the Finals, but I obliged, for experience. The exam was actually easy. I submitted my paper an hour before the time out. I am still kinda hoping that I perfected the exam, and maybe still, I have a chance to get a passing mark. But I am prepared to get a 5.0, ’cause it’s most likely to happen. Then came the ME 63 exam in the afternoon. I only had the opportunity to skim through the book last night — the night before the exam. Though I’m kinda delinquent in this subject, I fared quite well than what I expected with my exam results. I managed to get a 57.15% pre-final standing and needs only 70% to pass the course. I aced the exam earlier, I’d probably get a 2.75 for ME 63. Happy. I escaped probation! But I have to pass ES 21 and ES 1 to prevent delay. That’s it. I’m just updating you guys. Full of academic shit recently, aye? Popularity: 1% [?] HomestretchThursday, October 16th, 2008Its the last week of exams and I wish it’d be over, but then, its quite ironic since I know if time gets faster than the usual, I’d be dead meat by the end of the semester.
As of now, there are only two subjects that I know, I’m sure to pass. There are two subjects which I thought I will be able to pass, but I am kinda nervous right now since I don’t know if I really fared well in the Finals. I am actually pissed off since I only need 50% to pass both of this courses but it felt that with my Finals performance, there’s a possibility that I’ll fail. On Saturday, I will take the ME 63 Finals in the afternoon and ES 12 in the morning. Though I know that I’d surely fail ES 12, I’d try my best to get a really good grade. No one knows when this teachers would curve the grades so that more students will pass. Last week, I got pre-occupied with five exams and this past few days with the newsletter we have to produce for Molave Residence Hall, my dormitory. Yesterday, the first issue was distributed and I am so happy to have accomplished the project, as Associate Editor. The name of the newsletter is KANLAON. So, two days ago, the CRS results for first run are out and… I got the following: TTh WF I am kinda happy with the results since I got what I needed, I only need to enlist ES 12 and ME 73. If CRS won’t be kind to me and give any of the two subjects I need for the next semester, my back-ups are EnE 31, ES 10, MS 1, Soc Sci 3, or Arkiyoloji 1. Yes, I’m still hoping that I’d pass all of these subjects and I’m still hoping to get my scholarship back. As of now, I’m looking forward to a fun sembreak. Would probably meet up with some classmates and batchmates and would probably be the main organizer of the met up or reunion thngy. Popularity: 1% [?] CRS Galore.Tuesday, September 30th, 2008So last Monday was the start of CRS (Computerized Registration System) Enlistment in University of the Philippines – Diliman.
I enlisted the following subjects. The following subjects are the subjects I need to enlist this semester to avoid delay in the course. ME 91. The department offered only two sections. Both will be handled by Mr. Andre Publico. I prefer the 4-6:30 WF class. ME 91 is Numerical Methods in Mechanical Engineering. ME 41. The department offered only two sections. Since I only want afternoon classes on WF’s, I prefer the 1-3:30 class to be handled by Mr. Ace Puno. ME 41 is Mechanisms. Other subjects that I need to take up. ME 73. ME 73 is Mechanical Measurement and Instrumentation. Senior friends told us that its more of a laboratory course. It is also needed that you know much about Thermodynamics for this subject. It only has one schedule as far, and its on a Monday 10am-4 pm. I am still torned between these three subjects. ES 13, ME 131 or ME 165. That’s pretty much how I enlisted. Some people asked me which subjects I can recommend, and which professors, so here’s a list: Geog 1 – Marino Deocariza Popularity: 1% [?] September is PSME MonthSunday, September 28th, 2008 So, I have recently joined this Mechanical Engineering organization. It’s called Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers- University of the Philippines Student Unit, which we fondly call, Pisme’.
I have only been in the organization for three months. It was just last June when I got inducted to be a member of the organization. Three months had gone by, I don’t feel any hostility. I have grown so much love for this organization, even as much as my first organization in that span of time. Lemme give you a brief introduction of the organization. It started out as Kalipunan ng mga Inhinyeryong Mekanikal in 1993. It became extinct at a certain span of time and was reborn just last 2006, with only sixteen members. One of them is our adviser right now. Pisme’ strived hard to become recognized, even if the department’s not on our side. Pisme’ pushed through with its objectives to promote Mechanical Engineering as a field, to help Mechanical Engineering students here and outside UP and to organize and facilitate events that aims to improve the industry. Though much of our events cater students outside the university, and without proper support from the department; we have managed to stand alone and stood still up in this very moment as we vow to offer service to the country. From sixteen members, our unit already has 50 registered members as of 2007, and around 35 alumni from (2006-2008). For a degree program with 80 students a batch, this statistics is quite good. Considering there are two Mechanical Engineering organizations in the university, and the other, much-supported by the facult and has been in existence for years — its really hard to invite members; but as of the moment we’re quite even with both organizations having 50+ members. And on October, we will be inducting more members to the organization. This month of September, we held three major events. 
Our sponsors from Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. provided lectures about the engineering industry.
Fortunately for me and my co-head Bryan Allain Mendoza, the event was a huge success! Expanding to 24 teams this year from last year’s roster of ten teams!
Keep PSME in Motion. Move fast. Move now! Popularity: 1% [?] Things Gone Out of HandWednesday, September 17th, 2008Whew. I only have myself to blame. I have been quite a pasaway this past semester and when I received half of my midterm exams results, I knew it wouldn’t be so amusing. My ES 21: Mathematical Methods of Engineering exam was difficult but I didn’t expect that I will only get a whopping 25% for it. By the way, it’s the lowest of all the failing marks I’ve garnered and for a subject I treasure so much, it definitely signifies an alert. Yesterday, I received my ES 12: Dynamics of Rigid Bodies exam. Out of all the exams, this exam is the easiest but still, like the first two, I flunked it. I had an exam last Tuesday in ME 63: Thermodynamics and I know, you know what happened. I wouldn’t be surprised if I scored really low. I don’t know, I do believe I have good study habits. I study a lot but I study most effectively in the evening. I am really used to studying ‘til dawn but lately, I’ve been quite lazy since my roommate also wouldn’t want to open the lights these times. I requested a study light but all it does is drown me to sleep since its light isn’t enough to pump me up for work.
Well, as of now, I am still pumped up with Laarni Lozada winning Pinoy Dream Acamy Season 2 and is currently busy with the event I’m heading for Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers which is the 2nd National Mechanical Engineering Quiz Show called Brain Mesh. I hope it gets better in the next days. Popularity: 1% [?] Sleeping Problems? Oh Come On.Saturday, August 23rd, 2008This happened a couple of days ago, when my teacher in ME 63 told us that we’re gonna be having our 4th Long Exam the next day, even if we haven’t discussed the topic (unsteady state, unsteady flow or USUF) to be covered in the exam. I was panicking; that day, the ES 12 exam hasn’t been rescheduled yet to Monday and its schedule is supposed to be today. So technically, I would have to maximize my time tor ES 12, ME 63 and ES 1 — all exams scheduled one after another. I made my homework in ES 21; I summarized my notes so that I won’t be worrying much of it, since our teacher said the exam will benext Wednesday. Then, I wrote articles for the UPDOSTSA newsletter, a sample letter for the Brain MEsh. I also conceptualized the program format and schedule for the affair (since I am the coordinator for the event). All of these are due the next day, mind you. It took me until 10 to 11 pm to finish all the paper works so I moved on to solving problems in my ES 12 book. This subject requires much time and it has been my daily routine to answer at least three problems — even if a lot of the questions, I couldn’t answer easily or I couldn’t answer at all. Around 12:30, I decided to open my ME 63 book and answer the problem set the teacher gave us. I have nothing to worry since I have read the coverage earlier that day. I just need some time to answer the five challenging questions she gave us. I wouldn’t want to rely on the solutions manual of the book, since it won’t give me much learning. So I strove hard to answer the problems, I actually did — four of them I answered correctly, when I checked the solutions. Until it was already 2 am and all my roommates were asleep — or so as I think. My choosy and most of all sensitive roommate, we will name This is the lamest problem I have encountered with a roommate. He then murmured things such as bwisit and nakakainis. He punches the wall quite a few times. He makes the dabog sound. It was really really rude. I stayed silent so that he won’t be triggered into doing something more violent. All I was hoping is for him to stop his childish acts and let me do my thing so that I can finish onto the fifth problem and as per his wishes, I can turn off the lights. The scene’s not new to me anymore. He always does that. If his rules weren’t manifested, we get to have this “love letter” along with his ugly (and when I say ugly — I mean ugly!) handwriting, full of rants and pleads as if we’ve been so inconsiderate for the nth time to him. Part of his letter: “I need my sleep! Maging considerate ka naman…” yada yada yada. This is only the third time that it happened, or fourth time? And the first time it happened after the last one, last month when he told me to do my stuff earlier — for the nth time. I’ve been considerate enough the past weeks since I don’t have a busy load but hell does he care if I turn the lights on. He’s not the only one living in the room. I have a fourths share of it, and his wish that if I exceed the 12 MN limit that I go to the lobby so that he can sleep — and me uncomfortably reviewing outside, pestered by mosquitoes and possibly — boredom attacks = NOT REALLY AN IDEAL SITUATION for someone who’s cramming for an unannounced examination the next day. I won’t let him bully me. I have this feeling that he can’t sleep because he’s more focused on bugging me and wanting the lights turned off rather than him concentrating, covering his eyes with his mattress, and trying to sleep. I have been tolerant enough. I vow not to obey all his rules. I can accept some — but he cannot put me in a position that won’t make me or my other roommates be comfortable, in our own room. Can’t he just mind his own business? If he studies outside or inside, the hell I care, as much as he won’t whistle when I’m still asleep (correction: when my other two roommates and I are still asleep), as long as he won’t bang the door everytime he goes out of the room, as long as he won’t drop his kitchen utensils in a padabog manner after he eats his breakfast and we’re still asleep, ’cause its much more annoying than just having the lights turned on. These issues aren’t really big of a deal. Its not even worthy of the space I allotted here, but I just have to rant in his doings, I can’t let it pass. He’s not the boss, as he thinks he is. ———— Most of all, as you said, we are old enough to clean our own mess. So, we don’t need you nagging us to clean our places ’cause we will — when we find time. I always try to make it less irritating to your eyes but you’re too OC talaga and its hard to keep up with someone who has set the standards already; and won’t really consider your reasons, even if given a valid explanation. If he doesn’t like what he’s seeing, he has the option to leave the dormitory OR ask the Piece of advice, mind your own business! Get irritated when its uber OA na talaga and not for lame reasons like, “I can’t sleep because the lights are on!”, I have valid reasons why I have to be awake until the wee hours of the morning. I am doing something relevant, not just playing DOTA. I start my work early and I don’t even waste my time to play any sport — even if I wanted to. Either you’re lucky enough, you have plenty of time for such lazing or you’re the one who’s not doing your work early and the one who has no sense of time. Popularity: 1% [?] Ninoy Aquino DaySaturday, August 23rd, 2008The Upsilon Sigma Phi organized a T-Shirt Design Contest to commemorate the heroism of the late Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Sr.
So, I made two designs. I actually didn’t plan to join but my ex-roommate told me that I might win the 5,000 bucks prize. But, I was too lazy to make more intricate designs so I settled for these simple ones: NINOY IDOLO NG PINOY
 I AM WORTH DYING FOR 
But this one won, maybe due to the creativity factor. An image of Ninoy Aquino’s half-face with the LIVE Design. Very clever design, aight? Personally, the yellow color doesn’t work for me.
My design “Ninoy: Idolong Pinoy” made it to the Top 10, and as consolation, I won a T-shirt. The judges were from Team Manila To view more of this, click here. Anyway, enjoy your day off on Monday and celebrate the heroism, the fight of the great Ninoy Aquino for the Filipinos. Indeed, we should prove that we are worth dying for. This way, I have participated in the Ninoy Aquino commemoration. As for me, I have an exam on Monday. And it’s gonna be heart-breaking and headaching day for me. I hope not. Popularity: 1% [?] Not Another Pinoy Idol Rant and Other StuffsWednesday, August 20th, 2008ABOUT MY BLOG AND OTHER RACKETS
Sorry for leaving my blog for almost three weeks without a single update. It caused my Google Adsense earnings to dwindle down from almost a dollar a day to zero earnings in the past couple of weeks. But I still love Google since I can be assured that in the near future, I’ll be having a laptop. Yes, I am almost certain that by the end of this year, I’ll be having a laptop! Well, apart from Adsense, I make reviews and been into the SEO business through Miss Dine for whom I write articles for some blogs. I also engaged into tutorials and review centers.
Now you know what I’ve been into for the past weeks. ACADEMICS Even my academics won’t spare me a bit. I had three major exams the past week. And two of them are on the same day. I really hope I pass them. I really need to finish this semester without any failing mark. So today, our classes were suspended here in UP Diliman. Aside from the supposed-to-be “long weekend” which spans from Saturday up to tomorrow, we had another day off of our hectic school life. But then again, I had a class last Monday since we’re really behind with the lessons. Yesterday, I’ve scheduled a date with my organization buddy Jose since they’re required to do so, but I backed off since I’m in for a terror Saturday. I have two exams on Saturday, yes, this coming Saturday. And I really have to prepare for it. To top it all, our ME 63 (Thermodynamics) teacher gave us a bunch of homework to be submitted tomorrow. She also announced today that our 4th Long Exam will be tomorrow. Kamusta naman ‘yon? Pinoy Idol Last Saturday, August 16, the Pinoy Idol Final Performance Night was staged at SMX Convention Center, at the SM Mall of Asia. And as expected, it was crappy. An hour full of boring performances and out-of-tune singers. I can’t believe that I was actually watching the Top 3 out of the thousands who have auditioned for the competition. The Idol franchise has been the most prestigious singing competition worldwide. In 2006, ABC 5, now TV5 sought the franchise from Fremantle Media and on December 2006, Mau Marcelo won over the frontrunners Jan Kurt Nieto and Gian Magdangal. Though her fans seem to be not visible aftermath, they resort to buying her albums and in in December of 2007, she represented the Philippines in the first ever Asian Idol. Then, GMA 7 snatched the franchise from ABC 5 (who has been planning big for a season 2). And the rest is history… That brought us the first ever GMA 7 Pinoy Idol Gretchen Espina, who’s a University of the Philippines student, by the way. She’s taking up BA European Languages and is in her graduating year when she joined the show. Greta is the daughter of the Biliran governor. She auditioned for Philippine Idol but she didn’t even make it up to the Top 40. The show has been criticized from its very first airing. It was not able to live up to the expectations that the viewers and Idol fans. From bad hosting to the show being not live. From a variety show director directing it to its mode of voting (limiting it to texting only). Better contestants being eliminated to Pinoy Idol Extra bloating drama. From unclear acoustics, ugly stage and irritating lightings to its truly fugly timeslot. From its incompetent judges to incompetent finalists making it to Top 12 (such as Sue Ellen, Warren Antig, Gretchen Espina). Mediocre talents. Mediocre production. Inconsistencies in gala performances and elimination nights. Sometimes, there’s an intro performance, sometimes none. Sometimes, there’s a recap, sometimes none. Sometimes all of the judges comments, sometimes not. Judges being inconsistent to the finalists; commenting negatively to actually good performers and complementing the ones who should’ve been out since the start. They have very poor cinematography. They don’t know how to give drama to the performances. Everything’s a mess. Bara-bara. It seems like the show was done just to get it done and over with. Total may IDOL naman sa title. I believe that they should really have a reality check! The winner is crappy, just as crappy as the show is. Don’t ever blame it to the audience since you were the ones who chose the Top 24. And what’s with the duplicating of songs per Idol? Kid Camaya even outsang the finalist Jayann Bautista with I’ll Never Love This Way Again. Next, they weren’t able to indulge the audience to vote for their favorites, which brought us to relatives and close friends being the only ones who are voting on who’ll stay or not; I believe that Gretchen Espina won because of this. ABC 5 even beat them to it, producing a quality winner even if the other contenders are known to be “rich”. Still, the deserving one won. I knew it, since Bev Ejercito, Meryl David and Walton Zerrudo getting the boot Pre-finals stage, this franchise would be a shoutfest, and crappy in its truest sense. That’s why I immediately made the site Vote for the Worst Pinoy: Iboto ang Lagpak. The site has proven to be a success, for a lot of people, after the elimination of Mae Flores, Penelope, Robby Navarro and Kid Camaya has really made efforts to encourage people to vote for Gretchen Espina or Warren Antig— aiming to stop GMA 7 murdering the Idol show. Even some of the Top 24 that I have talked to couldn’t agree more on how this show got downplayed to a Pinoy Pop Superstar-type of singing contest. The show is nowhere close to AMERICAN IDOL, not even a spec of PHILIPPINE IDOL. I would have spared Pinoy Idol an ounce of respect if it manipulated the results come Final Three and included either Daryl Celis or Kid Camaya into it. But they didn’t, and now we resort to a crappy winner. A dismayed runner-up. I remember the Philippine Idol finale to be grandeus, magical and like a concert being shown in TV. It topbilled and headlined top papers in the country. Pinoy Idol, I can only hear the sound of crickets aftermath. BEIJING OLYMPICS SPELLS PHELPS
And come on! A total of sixteen medals! What the. GOSSIP GIRL  And it’s really back! I miss the show. I really hope that it won’t disappoint me. The Season 1 Finale was such a bore. But this promotional poster is intriguing.
PINOY DREAM ACADEMY: LAARNI OWNAGE! Even though I have lots and lots of extra-curriculars, I still find time to watch this show. What makes it more appealing is that it has scholars full of personality. Currently, Laarni Losala is my favorite. For me, Bugoy has a good voice but not a winner material. Liezel and Cris lacks personality. I am predicting a Van-Sen-Laarni final three. I HEART BETTY LA FEA One of the shows that I’m looking forward to air. What’s best is that they retained the Bea Alonzo-John Lloyd Cruz tandem which just suits the concept of the show. I am uber excited. LIPGLOSS Last August 8, ABC 5 officially signed off and TV 5 replaced it and one of the shows that I really enjoyed is this: Lipgloss! It’s a Gossip Girl spinoff but the blogger is revealed and its a guy (Sam Concepcion). It’s getting really exciting. Anyway, that’s about it. Random things, huh? I hope that I was able to fill you in with the recent happenings! I have to prepare for my ME 63 exam for tomorrow!  Popularity: 1% [?] |
