Good Bye, Jason!

Much as I thought that it would be a heart breaking exit, I just saw the coolest exit in American Idol. You would often see contestants crying their heart's out during elimination but Jason is way too cool to do this. You could see on his face how relieved he was to be finally out of the competition. Jason may not have the greatest voice among the idol, but he is definitely the most laid back and genuine singer among the contestants. Never would you see a frown on his face even when he is bombarded with not so good comments. Sad part is that many would surely miss seeing his soulful eyes on screen, including me.

Some articles have mentioned that he already loss the urge to be on top, but hey, he was never a diva. He sings from the heart. He got what he want, to be sent off and he was happy with that. It was even funny when he said he already packed his bags for he wouldn't know what to sing next week should he still be in the contest. Good Bye, Jason. You're the best ever contestant I have seen in the Idol history. Your good nature and happy disposition shine through. :)

Addiction

When do you consider something an addiction? Addiction as defined by Merriam-Webster is to devote or surrender oneself to something habitually.

So do you consider yourself addicted to Starbucks if you can't resist the urge almost everyday to visit the coffee shop and spend your hard earned money over their drinks? Even when it's almost closing time? Seriously, we have to submit ourselves to Starbucks-buying-ban soon! I was just blogging about saying NO to it and here we are again, enjoying our sinfully good treats from Starbucks. Again, how can we be a millionaire (refer to previous postings) if we keep on spending over their coffees? Anyways, I am not addicted to it, its hubby but whenever he asks me to drop by at Starbucks, I at first say no but when we are already there, I see myself ordering as well. :( Talk about self control. Each time i say its enough, he would tell me that he just want to enjoy the time that we can spend a day/night normally and do a little celebration. I am not a coffee drinker and yet can’t resist gourmet coffees hehehe. But I go for tea blends.

Pictured below are sinfully good Hot White Choco Mocha, Strawberries and Crème Frappe and a Mocha Waffle.



On our less than an hour stay in SM, I was able to buy some hair treatments. For a non rebonded hair like mine, my hair can really get so frizzy on bad days. It sucks. My hair can look rebonded after a cellophane treatment which is advisable to be done every month but would it be wise to spend P2,500 each month for that? Of course not. That’s about P30,000 in a year you can spend it instead over a retirement pay. So other than opting once in a while for an organic treatment of honey and olive oil (which is kinda messy) I decided to try other easy to use home treatments. Seen below is a one minute milk hot oil treatment. It smells so sweet, like a powdered milk but I still don’t know if its good. I also bought 2 trial packs of Yogurt treatment wax in strawberry flavor. It says it can tame frizzy hair, lets see. I hope they are effective salon treatments at home. I will post reviews once I’ve tried them on.



Talk about addiction, I used to be addicted to buying rubber shoes. But I was able to control it now. Just recently, I have blogged about the nice wedges that I have been looking for. I found one that fits me so well but…. there seems to be a problem, one shoe is bigger. There must have been a problem when they packed it because seriously the other one is a size bigger. So they are not really a pair. Too bad that I really like them that I cannot let it pass again. But how the hell would I wear a pair that is not really a pair? So I opted for the next size. I bought the wedge one size bigger than my regular and they seriously are big for me. When I tried them on, it’s not really comfortable when walking so I decided to remedy it with 2 corks each shoe instead. Hehehe.

See although I don’t like Shaina, I love her wedge here:



I’ve got the same one just like Shaina! I love them. I can see myself maturing (in terms of shoe preference only) already, because I am fascinated with girly shoes nowadays.



This is so OT. I was watching American Idol’s Top 4 earlier and I can see Jason Castro saying goodbye this week. He is still my favorite but I don’t see him in the top 3 spot anymore. I hope he survived this week but its either him or Syesha. He did not get a very good review from the 3 idol judges. I am just so sad. He did not exert extra effort. He sings well but not very competitive. Sad Sad Sad.

Hafta end this now.

Let's talk about Jason, AGAIN!

I can't help myself from posting tonight. I need to blog. I am just so excited to see Jason Castro's picture on our forum. I can't get enough of him and I know most of American Idol's followers feel the same. Not to mention my chummies who adore him too.

Hmmm Jason Jason Jason, what can I say about him? He is the dread-headed finalist of the American Idol Season 7. I wasn't paying much attention during the early weeks of AI, but my friend Karla mentioned that Jason is her bet. Till I focus on this guy week after week. I was extremely amazed with his charisma and connection to the audience. This is the first time that I had a real bet for an AI finalist. I previously prefer David Archuleta but now, it's just Jason. Jason's PI fans club, anyone?

He was never impolite, never answers back even when given cheezy comments. He can get away with it with his lovely smile. For anyone who gets to catch a glimpse of this guy in person, I just don't know if they will be tongue tied like Paula Abdul. She seems to forget to deliver her comments when Jason stares back at her. Those lovely warm blue eyes. Eyes that covets attention.... Same eyes with John Travolta (not to mention the olsen twins) and of course our local heartthrob, Papa Piolo Pascual.

Accourding to different internet postings, he is often seen with Ramielle Malubay. She maybe a pinoy pride but I don't like them together. hehehe. Sorry.

Did you know that it's Jason's 21st bday on March 25? (got it from his day dreaming site)

Word for the day

Obnoxious

1. Very annoying or objectionable; offensive or odious: "I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution" Ulysses S. Grant.

2. Archaic Exposed to harm, injury, or evil: "The town ... now lies obnoxious to its foes" John Bunyan.

I first encountered this word when I was in high school. It was highly used by my friend who happens to be a new comer then. She came from California. She loves to use this word, till I was able to adapt it as well. We both love writing poems at the age of 13 (Sophomore year) and would often write about our angst, "obnoxious and conceited" guys in school, girls we hated and those we think that are so uncool but never about profanity. I can clearly recall now when my love of writing started.

Now in the modern world (whoaaa, its as if I came from a pre historic era), this word is oftenly uttered by Simon Cowell, one of American Idol's judge whenever he is pissed off. Sissy he may sound but I find his reasoning logical. I first heard him say it to Chikizie, which was meant in bad light and recently, he told Jason Castro that he likes him not only because he is charming and that he is not obnoxious. Yipee, way to go Jason!

Since I can no longer watch American Idol live, I just take a peek of the show in You tube. Jason may sound funny on his rendition of Michelle of beatles but I really really love it. This dude is a star in the making. I love him. Though I think he looks like the Olsen twins.

Nyahahaha! See for yourself-same doe eyes and the way they twist their lips into a thin smile :)

I thought Michelle was an English song, turns out to be French. See lyrics below:

Michelle by Beatles

Michelle, ma belle, these are words that go together well, my Michelle Michelle, ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say until I find a way I will say the only words I know that you understand.

Michelle, ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to, I need to make you see oh what you mean to me until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean

I love you!

I want you, I want you, I want you, I think you know by now I'll get to you somehow until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble I will say the only words I know that you'll understand, my Michelle

So much of my blubbermouthing for tonight. I will see you all soon.

xoxo
