Here now in Talisay City, Negros Occidental

My being here has been a journey. Just yesterday at 4 am, I took a bus ride to get to Zamboanga City to catch up on a 945 am Cebu Pacific Flight for Cebu, connecting to Bacolod-Silay International Airport. I got to Cebu at 11 am. Prior to my arrival there, I told my sis Dyan, who resides in Cebu that I'd drop by the city for 3 hours. Indeed, Jonathan (her husband) fetched me and my companion sir Coro, with his car to his home in Consolacion, where we took our lunch. It was a happy moment because I got to see my cute niece Danna and my grown up nephew Jonas. I arrived here in Talisay City yesterday afternoon. It was so good to see some familiar good people - Sir CP, Ma'am Lei, Ma'am Toni and Ma'am Alex.; just this morning I met again Ma'am Fritz and Sir Rey, who were my camp blog 1b classmates. Their presence truly made me remember my days in Pampanga (last camp blog 1b).

I thought I was just going to attend a seminar; now, I'm going to be part of a planning workshop. Whew!

Another Winning Moment for Lee

Expectedly, the American Idol Top 3

L-R: Casey James, Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox are the 2010 American Idol 3 Finalists. Who I do I think is going to be the one? Lee! He's got the best vocals and plays guitar really nice. From the start, I have the feeling he'd go this far. Click here for the related news @ the American Idol website.

What Lies Ahead?

Now that the country will be managed by new leaders, I could only ask: "What lies ahead?" After all the discussions, arguments and display of support, where are we led to?

Noynoy, who is sure to win as president is seen as a unifying symbol. It is most important that everyone takes part in the transformation of this country. I thought he was a wiser choice for a president need not be really good, who seems to be needless of the hands of everybody.

Zamboanga Sibugay could be under the rule of new people - the Jaloslos. Many things are heard from them. I pray that they handle this province with sincere service for the common good.

Just Voted

Having the disposition and conviction to participate in the historic first ever automated elections in the Philippines, I got my self ready by 7 am and together with my father, drove to Sanito Elementary School to cast my vote for Noynoy as President. It took a while before I found my precinct (35 C) because it is clustered with A, B and D. Anyhow, I managed to fall in line with my mother and my father. (We are numbers 110, 111, and 112 respectively.) We are Team Yellow!

It didn't take that long to vote but because 4 precincts are clustered into 1, the line of voters was really long even at past 7am. I pray that the entire process of the 2010 Elections will truly be clean, honest, accurate, meaningful and peaceful.

It was a Bad Dream; it could be a Nightmare!

I slept at around 3am this morning after surfing the net. I should be so sleepy that I fell asleep right away. I just realized I was dreaming already when a saw a scene where I was having conversation with some people. Suddenly, I had a sensation some ghost getting into my body. I was telling everyone around that I was possessed. No one believed so I asked that somebody give me a mirror so I could prove them. Having a mirror in front, I could see another face on the reflection. Abruptly, I felt that my body became numb, my hands and feet felt rigid and I couldn't move at all. I relaxed a bit and woke up immediately. I had a bad dream; it could be a nightmare. I drank plenty of water at once. When I returned to bed and started to sleep, I could feel that I was like about to be possessed by some bad spirit. I made a Sign of the Cross and I didn't realize that I was already asleep. Thank God I'm alive.

Aaron Kelly didn't make it to the A.I. 2010 Top 4

After the performances of the top 5, I was really afraid of Aaron's fate on the American Idol. True enough, yesterday, he landed at the bottom 2 with big Mike and eventually, ended his American Idol journey. He's one of my favorite four.

Lee's Awesome Top 5 American Idol Performance

I thought Lee DeWyze sang the song even better than the original. This particular performance would surely push him to to finals. Break a leg Lee! Here's the video of his winning rendition of Sinatra's "That's Life".
