2010 Philippine Election

It was my very first time to vote and also it's the first time that all Filipinos are going to experience an Automated Election. I sure wish that the government did a lot of testing for the "PCOS Machines" before they sent it out. There are a lot of reports about the machine overheating, not powering up etc. It took me three hours (or more) before i got to vote. Some people have been there since 8am in the morning and they are still in line! Thankfully i was already informed about the precinct number and cluster number that i am in so i didn't have to go from one classroom to another to look for my name.



voting is kinda easy... all you have to do is shade the circle beside the candidates name. My hands was literally shaking while shading.. I was soo afraid that my ballot would be rejected! luckily the machine accepted it :) Thank God I don't want my 3 hours of waiting be put into waste! here are some snapshots from my phone, i took these pictures while waiting...

Remembering Michael...

I got a text from my friend peejay saying "... patay na daw si Farah Fawcett at si Michael Jackson, is it true?" my initial reaction is that this is a hoax... i know for a fact that Farrah Fawcett has cancer so that part might be true... but Michael Jackson hell no!... then i got another text from another friend Jhong saying "... King of Pop died @ 50 due to a heart attack." I asked him if its true he said yes and that it's all over the news... i was still on my way home when i received both messages... i texted my friend Gelmark and asked if the news was true and he said yes its confirmed. i rushed home and open up the TV and there it was on CBS... Even my mom cant believe it... He was my ultimate idol when it comes to music. He was a genius, a total performer, a great song writter, one hell of a dancer, a legend.

Everybody grew up with his songs...
many famous local artist idolize and imitate him... His Death is a big lost in the industy... His music will live on forever. My condolences to his family. RIP Michael....

AMERICAN IDOL Season 8 Finale

It's a wrap for the American Idol Season 8. over a hundred million votes were gathered, winner has been announced. although i was a bit disappointed with the results, don't get me wrong both of them are a good singers. but there is only one person who stood up from the Top 13 and it's ADAM LAMBERT.

There are a lot of first in the season, like instead of having a final 12 they decided to make it a final 13 and the "SAVE". I have to say this is the most talented batch in the whole 8 season of AI (American Idol).

I was running my ass of just to get home in time to watch the finale. Though i missed some parts like Kara flashing off her bikini while singing with the infamous bikini babe of season 8. I was in time to see some of the good stuff.

* Allison Ireheta did a duet with Cindy Lauper. they sang Cindy's all time hit "Time after Time"

(photo from stars are blind)

* Danny Gokey and Lionel Ritchie sang "All night long".

(photo from OK! Magazine.com)

* The Best performance of the night Adam Lambert and KISS! Adam sang "Beth" and then he introduce KISS, with pyro flaring KISS made their grand entrance they sang Detroit Rock City. Lambert and KISS did a duet on Rock and Roll all nite. and of course true to every KISS performance it had a guitar smashing ending. aylaveet!

(photo from MTV.com)

I missed Kris Allen's performance with Keith Urban... But i didn't miss their performance with Queen. One word to describe the performance "OUTSTANDING". Adam out sang Kris on this one. Im sure Fredie Mercury is smiling from wherever he is with Adams performance. No offense to Kris Allen, but this is Adam's forte.

After the performance was the announcing of season 8 winner. Kris Allen won the title. even Allen was so shocked when Ryan Seacrest announced his name.

here are some photos of things that i had missed on the finale (photos from OK! Magazine.com)

Click! Click!

I'm currently hooked on photography. I' was supposed to replace my good 'ol canon a630 for a dslr last December. unfortunately due to some budget constraint i wasnt able to do so... was supposed to buy a Nikon D40. But looking on the bright side there are cheaper alternative to my wishlist.

Instead of a DSLR i've been eyeing another Canon Powershot camera - either a Canon PowerShot S3IS or S5IS. Both cameras looks the same but differ in specs.

Canon PowerShot S3IS

Canon PowerShot S5IS

another one of my cheaper alternative is to buy a lomo camera. Lomo is one of the in thing right now in photography. almost everywhere i go i see lots of photo exhibits showcasing different lomo shots. Lomography is all about over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure and blurring. lomo pics are often called "happy accidents". Lomo cameras uses films. so this is an old school camera. a starter kit cost roughly around 4.5K
Holga Stater Kit

Im saving up for both camera so i could use it in my upcoming out of town trips . cant wait to own either one of them. need to tighten my belt for this one... no new shoes and bags for a few months! wish me luck!

Eheads - The Final Set

its been quite a while since my last post lets start with the Eheads final set concert.

we got to MOA around 6pm trying to be early to avoid long lines and whatnot. unfortunately my friend Leigh is running late so we decided to grab some dinner. Just as expected most of the restos around the mall are jammed packed so we tried to find a place that's not that crowded. we stumbled upon a coffee shop named Chaikofi. The place looks very cozy. I love the interiors of the shop. There are lots of tea cups on the wall it looks sooo cute. But im not a fan of their couch. Its too small to fit in 4 people... the food was ok and the service... damn it took us about 10-15 minutes to call the attention of one of the crew. to think there are only about less than 30 people in the shop... tsk tsk tsk... bad service but good ambiance. oh well...

cute flying tea cups on the wall Ü

in the concert venue, lines started to queue up, and when we got in 'lo and behold its like youre in a can of sardines. the place was super jammed pack with lots of Eheads fans from all kinds of generations. according to the news there was around a hundred thousand attendee for the said event. No wonder the ground was shaking back then (literally!). Ely, Raymund, Buddy and Marcus rocked the Mall of Asia concert grounds with their hit songs some of it are magasin (opening song), trip to jerusalem, poor man's grave, Huwag Mo Nang Itanong (reggae version) which was sung by Marcus, Torpedo.

On the second set of the show there was a couch in the middle of the stage, immediately i knew they were going take it slow and do an acoustic rendition of their songs but what surprised me was the songs they performed. I thought they are going to perform some of their slow songs like with a smile, fruit cake etc. They performed Julie Tearjerky, Tikman, Wishing Wells, Fine Time, Pare Ko, Kailan, Back2Me, Trip to Jerusalem, Spolarium (my personal favorite), and Overdrive.


On the Third set they performed SuperProxy (Francis m. was supposed to be a surprise guest that night but we all know what happen - rest in peace to the great master rapper), Minsan, they sung the chorus of Kaleidoscope World as a tribute to the master rapper Francis M., and Huling El Bimbo which was supposed to be their final song. At the end of the song Ely burned the sticker happy piano which was one of the symbolic instrument of the band ('memba the sticker happy album?!). 'Twas the end of the show people are still asking for more (but of course who wouldn't?!) so to avoid a stampede we rushed off to the exit while outside waiting for some of our friends... Then i heard someone on stage asking "kaya nio pa ba?!.... ano three for the road?!"

Then my friend drag me (literally - thanks leigh) back inside. they did 3 more songs Ligaya, Sem Break (another one of my favorites), and Toyang. While singing toyang Ely went down the stage and spent some time with the fans (how i wish i was infront!). and yep the historical concert of the most popular band in the Philippines has to end. God they even beat Rhianna and Chris Brown's concert. i wasn't able to take lots of pics i grab some from azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com
