CSI without Grissom

Grissom is CSI. How could there be one CSI without Grissom? When I found out about the imminent change, I thought I would give it a chance, although I really couldn't imagine how it would be.

After watching a few episodes, it seems the feeling (from watching an episode of CSI) is gone. The excitement is gone. The mystery is gone.

Somehow Grissom's character brought something to the show that is missing even with the new guy who is not any light weight came on. It seems strange to replace a character with Grissom's caliber with a newbie! I was excited to see Laurence Fishburne sign on but his character is not doing anything for me. In other words, the character is boring and flat. And the new girl is not convincing either. The character tried too hard.

This is sad.

Just chillin'...

I just want to chill. Live a life that is meaningful to me. Go on a pace that does not have me rushing through the motion. Surround myself with people that feel good about themselves and thes, allow me to feel good about myself. Feel confidence with my faith, virtues and decisions. Feel beautiful and good in my own skin.

Adam is still my Idol... regardless...

I was quite devastated when I found out that Kris is officially the American Idol. I guess I had a thought that this could happen. Afterall, he was the dark horse. He was good in the finale but somehow, Adam was marvelously amazing! Well, good people have lost aplenty historically.

I'm sure Adam will go far, regardless of whether he is the idol or not. The world is at his feet right now. He just has to choose his preferred path...

O yay! Adam & Kris made it!

I came back home too late to catch the results show for the American Idol but managed to catch the news... Danny is out. Adam and Kris are on to the finals next week!

Contrary to news that stated that Danny was the favorite, he was never my favorite. i thought he paled in comparison to Adam. And even Kris with his impressive performances this week was better than him. I think Danny is a nice and good guy but in terms of 'idol', he seems to be a bit short of something. If Adam was voted out this week, I'm not sure if I'll have the mood for the Americon Idol Party that I'm hosting next week!

So YAY!

Last Three

Last three on the American Idol this season. It seems that this season went by so quickly. Now, it's down to the last three already. Adam, Danny and Kris.

Personally, my favorite is Adam. Kris is still a dark horse which I've grown to adore. Danny, I'm sorry to say I don't fancy that much. Yes, he's talented but I thought he's kinda boring. He's a humble guy, and for that I don't quite like myself that much for not liking him.

Maybe we should have an Idol party during the finals... That would be a fun get-together!

Love memories

A friend compiled a photo recollections stretching back to a decade or so ago and include the song 'Perhaps Love' to serenade the presentation.

The song ended with 'My memories of love will be of you'. In the length of our lives, I'm sure we have experienced many different kinds of love. To me, the strongest bond of all is the familial love we have for our parents, siblings, children. It is unconditional. Then, there's the other love for which people search all their lives for and many willing to do many things for.

I have a good family whom I know loves me and they gave me strength, faith and confidence to be what I am.

Then, I have one memory of love which is of one person. And they are just that, a memory. We know a memory for what it is. It is just that, a figment of thoughts in our mind. Something that happened in the past. It was real then. It is not real anymore. Time to cease sadness and let happiness soars again.

But it's not sadness I feel. Not anymore. Not for a long time. Yet, the memory remains.

Balance in Life

This year has been a busy year, at work, for me. I've always been able to control my time and leave work at a reasonable time and do things that I like. But this year has been difficult. In the first five months, I have logged on the same number of jobs that took the whole of last year for me to complete.

I'm still thinking and considering how to balance and adapt. Afterall, a life of just work is not healthy at all...

A.I.D.S

Over the weekend, a teacher taught us that we need to have A.I.D.S in life. Not the disease, but aids = assistance, help. Life is hard enough, who doesn't need aids to make life easier.

A = adaptativeness. Being able to adapt to whatever comes in life. I have been thinking of this a lot lately. For now, it seems as if my life is all work. Which I don't like. The job I love, it's just the some times long-hours that I kinda don't like. I have been thinking of how to balance up things. I understand why some jobs are urgent, I'm sure there's a way to make things easier but at this point, I have no solutions yet.

I = initiative. The initiative to think up new ideas and to think big. I have no problem with thinking up things to do. It's just the thinking big that I'm hesitant of.

D = dynamics. To transform the initiative into action. To manifest the ideas. To put words into action. To be more energetic. To be more effort-full. To overcome sloth and torpor.

S = service. A life spent to be of service to humanity must be the utmost worth living. Not everyone has the luxury to do that. But I guess we should all strive towards that. My personal conflict is between service to others and being and doing things for my own family. Which I still need to reconcile and adapt.

A lot more of reflection for me...
