American Idol Top 12: Ramiel's on the top 12!

I'm so hooked to AI that I cant help myself but imagine the whole day who got eliminated. Yesterday was one hell of a performance although I wasn't quite impress with Ramiel's rendition of "against all odds" but at least she nailed it compare to other American Idol hopefuls. Paula even said, "you deserves to be in the top 12". And she really did. But I was shocked when Asia'h Epperson got eliminated, I thought her version of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" was fantastic. Kady Malloy, Luke Menard and Danny Noriega also didn't made it.

According to host Ryan Seacrest, more than 36 million votes were cast. And for the first time in American Idol history contestant can now sing Beatles's song.

Here's the complete list of AI's top 12:
Chikezie Eze, Amanda Overmyer, David Hernandez, Kristy Lee Cook, Brook White, Carly Smithson, David Archuleta, Ramiel Malubay, David Cook, Jason Castro, Michael Johns, Syesha Mercado

How to make money online? Part 1

Hey, i dont know why Im posting about this topic even I was amazed by the many ways you can make the most out of your free time online. I had the habit of deleting forwarded emails in my inbox without bothering myself where it came from. But one email gets my attention my friend sent me that says "take the online survey in just 5-10 minute for $6" without bothering myself the $6 interest me (let's not be hypocrite guys we all need money) and so I take the survey, and it's true! In fact right now I already accumulated $27 just by taking those non-sense surveys,hehehe.. here's the link..

My days are numbered!

It has been a month now since I first nursed this feeling of uncertainties with in me. I have been very unhappy and unsatisfied since then. I’ve been experiencing last-day-of-your-life syndrome usually acquired by cancer patients. Scary eh? I don’t have cancer but my days are numbered. As of this writing I only have ten days left to complete my thirty-day notice before I gracefully terminate my contract with the company I am working right now. It’s difficult but I believe I made the right decision.

Every waking day was like a bitter pill I need to swallow and everything just kind of took place behind my consciousness. It all started when I went home last Christmas and realized I need my sanity back from the stressful corporate jungle. I had my schedule squeezed to the point of regularly calling in for almost a week. And after few considerations I finally decided to resign from the job. I don’t know what in store for me but I just can’t resist bumming days. Laughs!

Reasonably irrational II

A friend of mine asked me if I'm excited tomorrow...I said 'no', actually, the one thing I feel about tomorrow is indifference. It's just me. I can't exactly recall any scrapbook-worthy experience that happened on the years that preceded. I dont know whats goin on in my mind this few weeks, i cant help myself but isolate. No blog-ups, no friendster, no yahoo, no nothin.

Im sorry I forgot to update you on mah being reasonably irrational--it is actually a perspective not a lifestyle that I nursed since I once read that book. But it help though, living without expecting from anyone nor pleasing anybody kinda liberate me to live life in all its fullness. Being reasonably irrational is being the person that God intends you to be, the world may direct you to live your life according to its standard but its a complete opposite towards what He intends you to be. Living without being pressured to follow the norms, goin with the flow or joining the crowd is what being 'reasonably irrational' is all about-I mean being irrational with a substance and a point.

Life is not all about here on earth, but after it. You decide! Read the Bible.
God bless us all!

Reasonably irrational!

Reasonably irrational? Is there such a statement? It is kinda contradictory and and ironic in the sense that both are polar to each other. But its true, the statement make sense.. and that is how i describe myself. Need to beleive it? You just have to spend 1 whole shift with me on the floor, and you will realize I am reasonably irrational..

On my next blog-up-i will explain to you how to become reasonably irrational-how to live without repressing yourself to follow the crowd and escaping yourself from a society that preconditioned your mind that possesion is synonymous to happiness and success.
Live and let live!--------->do ya really understand the statement?? If you dont, then you need to be reasonably irrational!

My Comfort Zone!

T'was gloomy afternoon when I arrived-Im talking about MSU my constant utopia of soulsearchin. The place is perfect for a wounded soul seeking refuge behind the quite breeze of an undisturb lakeview forest. I dont expect too much for a three weeks retreat here or what I can safely say bumming days, hehe. But one thing Im certain Im here to find myself and feel the breeze snatching my soul to return back to where I truly belong. Right now the sun permeates almost every follicle of my gloomy soul and slowly reviving it.
