Death...

i was reading my emails today and came across this mail sent by a friend. When i read it, i knew that i should share it.

Death. Beautifully explained.

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

what superhero are you?

You Are Spider-Man

Quick and agile, you have killer instincts (literally).
And that kind of makes up for the whole creepy spider thing.

how boyish or girlish are you?

You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

Philippine Idol (wildcard)

Here's the Wildcard Special of Philippine Idol. Only 5 boys and 5 girls were selected by the judges to perform on the Wildcard Night. Unfortunately, Freddie Cabael Jr. and Robert Bernadas was not able to make it. Sayang! Anyway, I'm glad that Gian, Ramirr, Ken and Mau were selected to perform that night. From the 10 wildcard performers only 2 boys and 2 girls are going to make it to the Top 12. And these Four were Ken, Gian, Stef and Mau!!! Although I'm a big fan of Ramirr on the guys night, I'm gonna have to agree with Francis M and Mr. C that he was on his comfort zone. I wish he could have sang a different song, but as much as I don't want to admit it, I think that Rock is the only genre that he's good at. I mean, can you imagine him singing an R&B song? Definitely, Not! Plus, the act of singing to his girlfriend is just too much! It was so... hmm... baduy? And he was not able to do justice to my favorite Aerosmith song. Actually, before he started singing, my cousin and I were thinking of what song Ramirr have chosen, and I told my cousin that he should sing 'I don't wanna miss a thing' and voila! he just said that he's going to sing it! Hehe. What a coincidence! ;) But of course, I was a bit disappointed on the way he sang it. Sayang eh! Hindi nakuha yung sigaw ni Steven Tyler. Konti na lang.

So moving on... On the results night, Ken and Gian were chosen for the boys. And for the girls, It was Mau and Stef. Mau even commented that it wasn't a singing contest but more of a beauty contest. I have to agree with that. Even the judges agree with her...

Here's the whole wildcard special of Philippine Idol:

Stef Lazaro - "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

Gian Magdangal - "Lately"
Ting Otero - "Sana'y Maghintay ang Walang Hanggan"
Onyx Culala - "Wildflower"

Ira Marasigan - "In My Life"
Joseph Astor - "Maria, Maria"

Ken Dingle - "A House is not a Home"
Ramirr Grepo - "I dont' Wanna Miss a Thing"
Suey Medina - "Best of My Love"
Mau Marcelo - "Till My Heartache's End"

Philippine Idol

Continuation of the Philippine Idol's semi-finals. This time around, it's the girls chance to prove their worth for the much coveted (for now) Top 12 slots. Base on their respective performances, I must say that I think the boys did a better show in totality... But the vocal prowess... It's definitely a girls-night-out! I already have my top pick of course, and they are: Pow, Maureen, Armarie, Ira, Ynah and Suey. Anyway, the format still follows that 4 would be chosen on results night and 2 would be chosen on the wildcard special. I can't help but acknowledge the fact that Mr. C asked the viewers to really vote for the one who deserves to be in the Top 12. "Kayo (the viewers), makinig naman kyo..." --can't help but smile on that one.

Unfortunately, on results night (September 10), only 2 of my picks made it to the finals... (once again!). I don't know what's wrong with the other viewers... but I really think that Mau deserves to be on the top 4! By the way, the top 4 were: Pow, Apple, Armarie and Jelli.

On results night, they announced that only 5 boys and 5 girls would compete in the wildcard special this saturday. And these 10 competitors would be chosen by the judges. But I was not able to watch the monday idol update with Heart Evangelista, so i don't have any idea on who made it on the Wildcard Show. Let's just watch and see on Saturday!

Line-up:
1. Abigail "Gail" Blanco - "What's Love Got To Do With It"

2. Christina "Ting" Otero - "Come In From the Rain"
3. Rina Lei "Ynah" Pangan - "Halik"
4. Cherry Anne "Apple" Chiu - "Rhythm of the Streets"
5. Jellica Marie "Jelli" Mateo - "Bridges"
6. Ira Patricia Marasigan - "Mr. Melody"
7. Paula Patricia "Pow" Chavez - "Ikaw Lamang"
8. Stephanie "Stef" Lazaro - "Home"
9. Maureen "Mau" Marcelo - "Sweet Love"
10. Erika Jill "EJ" Bautista - "Paalam Na"
11. Yasmine Rose "Suey" Medina - "Almost Over You"
12. Armarie Cruz - "Superwoman"


Anyway, Here's the girls performance...

Philippine Idol Semi-Finals (Boys Edition)

It's already the semi-finals for Philippine Idol. Last Saturday was the boy's performance night. Out of 12 boys, 6 would be chosen. 4 of them made it to the finals on results night (sunday) and only 2 more would be chosen on the wildcard special. I already had my choice for the top 6: Ramir, Reymond, Drae, Ken, Robert and Gian. But come results night, only 2 of my bets made it. What happened? Parang naging Philippine Text Idol yata yung competition. Those who were credible enough lost to those who really didn't have anything much to offer... Ang mga Pilipino nga nman!

The four guys who automatically made it to the finals are: Drae Ybañez, Reymond Sajor, Miguel Mendoza III, and Jan Nieto. --much to everyone's surprise, Ramir did not make it! shame on those who did not vote for him!

I like Drae and Reymond. Miguel is one of my picks too (plus, he's a student of my aunt in De La Salle-Zobel). But as for Jan, well... he has a good voice. Maybe it's the song 'coz I wasn't able to make a connection with him while he was singing. I also like Reymond's professionalism. However, nothing could beat the 'Bed of Roses' for me.

Line-up:
[01] Freddie Cabael - "Macho Gwapito"
[02] Robert Bernadas - "Take A Look Inside My Heart"
[03] Ken Dingle - "More Today Than Yesterday"
[04] Drae Ybañez - "What You Won't Do For Love"
[05] Gian Carlo Magdangal - "Footloose"
[06] Ramir Grepo - "Bed of Roses"
[07] Miguel Mendoza III - "Highways of My Life"
[08] Reymond Sajor - "Tell Her About It"
[09] Joseph Astor III - "Why Can't It Be"
[10] Christian Masaga - "Have I Told You Lately"
[11] Jasper Onyx Culala - "Windmills of Your Mind"
[12] Jan Kurt Nieto - "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

Anyway, here's their performance... you be the judge!
