American Idol 2nd Round 75 Pushes Through!

Thursday, February 05, 2009

American Idol's Ryan Seacrest just announced that there's about only 75 people left in the second round eliminations. The famous ones who was booted out were the bikini girl Katrina Darrel, Nancy Wilson who was confronting the judges so much, Austin Sisneros who was fine with anything, Rose Flack who was homeless barefoot and dreadlocked girl, Southern lady Deanna Brown, and David Osmond who's a son of an elder Osmond Brother.

There were 104 singers that started this particular round and they performed with other singers in groups. Those who did not perform well obviously had tears and stories to tell about other people so they were all booted out based on their performance. Others were given the chance if they obviously are just being pulled down by other people in their group.

I wonder what if I joined American Idol, that would be just hilarious hahahahah.... Maybe season 9 would be better for me right? Hehe My friends tell me I sing fine so I'd probably be conquering Pinoy Idol first wahahaah...Dream on dream away!

Here's one of my favorite auditions

All Out War Against Termites


My house stands 2 floors each about 12 feet high. This is normal considering how big and tall we are in the family. We got our house painted because my brother was coming back from Ireland and we wouldn’t want for him to see our house not taken cared of. We had some parts of the house identified as problem areas. Much of the material used to build the house is wood on the upper floor. Even the walls were of the same material because that was normal when it was renovated in the late 60’s or 70’s.

We did not have time to deal with that then but parts of the roof were already falling off because water was already seeping through and termites were worsening the wood rots. We usually change just small parts when we repair them back then. This time the repairs called for a major overhaul because the framework itself was getting chewed by critters and termites. We used anti termite chemicals back then but I guess they pretty much have worn off. Rain water also made things worse. Before we could paint the house, we would need to deal with this major construction job. I hated the part that we were only expecting a few thousand pesos on repairs but it turned out to be an expensive one because of that. I researched quite a bit on http://www.killthetermites.com/ so we wouldn’t have to go through with these problems in the future. They have reference to different types of treatments so we don’t end up doing the same thing all over again. We even used materials for the house that not only is water resistant but termite resistant as well. Cleaning the place was also arduous because I even got bit by a single termite when rummaging through the wood we took off. That was really painful and I endured that for a few days. We then made arrangements so we can use termite tenting as security for those unaffected areas at home. I hope that would be the end of it. I don’t want that to happen again. Now my house looks green and refreshing. Do you have problems like I do? Visit the site and you’ll like it too.

Carnie Wilson Hosts The Newly Wed Game




I remember singing along with the Wilson Phillips back in the days where I found them truly mesmerizing. They sound so good together and the songs were just making me and my friends remember everything. This also was played numerous times in Videoke bars we went to and I have this same particular video in my PSP playing almost everyday.



This was released in the early 90's and if you didn't have their music playing among the greatest of the late 80's singers, then you are considered a loser then. I don't consider their sound new wave but it was together with that genre. This was surely feel good music back then and I watched their concerts in videos because MTV was booming then. We didn't really get MTV asia or MTV Philippines until later on. Almost 80 percent of our MTV's were all from the US and Europe which probably is one of the reasons why we are at par with their talents today. Carlie Wilson of the Wilson Phillips will be hosting The Newly Wed Game which was established in the 1960's. This was the show millions in the US watched because of the couples who participated in it almost knew each other until they were asked about it. I'll surely be looking out for episodes of this because I love Wilson Phillips, and I love the show's re runs. You can even tell who she is on the video and see that a lot has changed but she's still that beautiful voice behind Wilson Phillips. I wonder what happened with the other ones.

Advertising No More!


It’s a great day today and I’ve got lots of work to do. My day to day activities and work puts me online almost 18hours a day. With the tons of work I do for multinational companies, I often visit other websites. I also use websites for proxies so I could visit those that are not allowed by office filters since our connection is limited. I encounter a lot of problems and it takes me a long time to do that because of hundreds of ads that I encounter each day. I’ve been dealing with those that pops up and those which just re directs me to other advertisement sites. This not only compromises bandwidth, but my precious time as well.

I did not know what to do because most ad pop up blockers available in the Internet has malicious software embedded in them. That would not really work for me. I tried one that did catch my attention because it was similar to my website’s theme. It’s called AD MUNCHER and it works great with almost every browser I use for maintaining websites. Even the messaging systems I use at work do great with the software. Try Ad Muncher now and you’ll never get those pesky advertisements to bug you again. I’m so much happy now!
