MJ, life and gone...

Surprisingly, his passing affects people from all walks of life. of all ages.

Looking at pictures from his youth, when he was just starting out, he was really a cute kid.

how could a person who started out with such strong religious background, with such brightness, with such support, turned out at a low and bowed out leaning on past glories?

I would like to think that he was really that innocent, decent and pure mind. Who was just misunderstood. Rest in peace...

Charming Guys Who Lie

Oprah's show today touched on lives of women who were for a short while touched by violence and torture in the hands of a person they loved and trusted, their own husbands. We looked at their stories and wondered why these women even started a relationship and loved these men and why they stayed married to them.

It's difficult for a person on the outside to understand. Even these women who appeared in the show, for them, it's difficult for them to see who they were in the past.

When asked, the women just said that the guys were so charming and nice in the beginning. The bad side sneaked in gradually after the wedding, often years after. And on why they stayed on, the women said that when they uttered their wedding vows, they really meant it and so didn't think that the husbands did anything wrong.

The good thing is that they managed to get out of the abyss and that they are all in good situations now.

I wonder if I were in this situation if I would ever have the strength to step up and out.

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!
