After all my efforts of voting for my bet for the most awaited finale of the American Idol I was disappointed and devastated of the results. I was rooting for BB Chez but apparently America did not vote for her, instead they chose Philip Philips.
Before the finale was been aired I was confident that BB Chez will win. A night before both contestants performed and both delivered well. But to me BB Chez sang excellently. The only bummer were the judges comment of her coronation song but to me there's nothing wrong with her last song because she gave her all to it.
She sang it while sitting on the piano the whole length of the song. Singing while sitting is very hard especially singing that song with the highest level of pipes I've ever heard and she sang it emotionally and with in-depth feelings. It was a pop ballad and she delivered it very well.
It was a sad song appropriate for two lovers questioning her decisions and apprehensions about what she did leading to losing the love she had. I admit the song is not appropriate for her age but it's not the song really. It's about how she rendered the song powerfully and for the judge saying that the song is not for her well they are biased. American Idol is a singing competition not a song competition. It was a travesty!
But despite of the public decisions BB Chez was very gracious of her loss. She didn't left American Idol defeated because she left the show with a most unforgettable duet with the most celebrated Grammy and Tony (Broadway) Award winner Jennifer Holliday. The duet was really superb and was excellent in regards to the vocal prowess of both singers. Jessica was indeed comparable to the multi-awarded singer who is very supportive of her. It was just bad that Jessica was lost. What a shame for American Idol.
Then after the show the rave about the duet was all over several search engines and it was crazy because people adored BB Chez rather than the actual winner. It was crazy!
Now that BB Chez is not tied up with American Idol then she is free to accept music contracts outside Idol. I heard that the famous Tommy Mottola, co-owner of Casablanca Records, has expressed his interest to sign BB Chez up a singing contract to record several albums for his label. And people were very excited about it.
What ever happens to BB Chez I know she has a lot of followers out there. I know she was ripped off the title by the executives of FOX Network because of her color or race but I hope the truth will come out someday.
BB Chez will be famous and she will have more records and will be well-known in the world of modern music. Good luck to you Idol and hope you will succeed in your dreams. I will be following your success and will celebrate my victory when that day comes.

Enriching My Word Power
Yeah, I am trying to do this 30-day word power self study paperback book by Norman Lewis. I guess in order for me to understand it fully I will be pacing myself gradually. I will not stick to the 30-day plan because I know myself. And besides, I am a busy person and I tend to stop from time to time because of the nature of my job.
I have two of this book (which I unconsciously bought) and the other one was been tucke din one of my travelling bags which I used it every time I travel. What a double standard but I didn't really know I have another one and I found out lately when I was trying to get organized my books when I moved out of the old apartment lately.
For now, I will post my progress and also will share what I have learn everytime I will finish a chapter or so. I will try to use some of the new words that I have discovered so that I can put it into use. What else should I do with what I have learned but to use it in a proper way in order to keep it in mind. And sometimes I will make some journal of it and post it here to share it with you.
Now, I am meticulously reading the book and trying to immersed with it. I found it more challenging and fun to answer some of the test and I found out that it was very exciting to play with it and put it into use sometimes. It really enhanced my grammar as well as build my confidence. I like it!
So far, I am so thrilled every day learning new words and techniques in grammar, word meanings, and vocabularies. I am very excited about it everyday. I will try to learn it everyday for my own benefit and I will infuse them in my everyday conversations. For sure my colleagues and friends will be surprised with my new found confidence, wisdom, and knowledge. I am so thrilled!
I will keep pushing myself to the fullest so that I will get the full benefits of learning this book. I will dedicate myself each day to learning something from it. I can't wait for the outcome in the end. And I will try to evaluate myself of my progress each day by taking the chapter exams.
Can't wait to finish this new challenge and I am ready for the battle and the hard work ahead. I will keep pushing myself to the limit to benefit from it and I will take advantage of every challenge to reach my full potential. Hopefully, every thing will be all right. Ciao!

Yay! She Goes Through
It was a shock really to have watched last Thursday that Joshua Ledet, one of the most praised contestant in the recent American Idol competition, was sent home because of the low votes he got over night after a very powerful singing presentation last Wednesday.
Our own BB Chezz, despite of her nagging sorethroat had belted out three wonderful songs from Mariah Carey, Aerosmith, and Jackson 5 ss she rendered it well with some minor complaints from the judges and was emerged to be the highest vote getter according to the polls. She really sang all thos three songs powerfully deapite of her nagging sorethroat.
Now, she was secured a top spot and will compete with Phillip Phillips for the highest position.
Hopefully, this will be a very fun finale in the history of American Idol with it's very dynamic and versatile singera that end up and had emerged to be veey victorious.
Let's all vote dor our own BB Chrzz who represents our nationality and if granted the crown will be marking the annals of American Idol to be the first young Asian singer to have ever won the famous American Idol TV shows.
I hope she will bring home the most coveted crown and she will be remain grounded all the time . Crossing my fingers I hope it will be materialize very well.

Mania About American Idol
To start off, I signed up to this group in Facebook that supports our own BB Chezz, one of the finalists in the recent American Idol Competition on TV. She happened to be a Filipino-Mexican-American and this group was all out in supporting her campaigning to vote for her until the finale. And it seems that the group's unrelenting effort to catapult this young girl to stardom had been paid off, and she was in the finale. Yay!
The group's name was "RNs for JESSICA SANCHEZ" which was put up by my friend way back in my nursing college years and it was very successful in campaigning to vote Jessica Sanchez to the finale of the 11th season of the American Idol. Now the group has about a thousand more members and were all gaga for this little young girl, who sings like an angel and with a diva-ish voice of all sorts among the contestants.
If you happen to go to the group's wall, everybody's very excited and all the comments about the way they vote for her were very hilarious and out-of-this-world. There was this woman who voted a thousand times multitasking utilizing all her gadgets at hand to a full potential.
I even voted myself a thousand times holding my two celfones on both hands texting simultaneously and also calling on my landline using my big toe to press the redial button while cradling the receiver on my neck making it stiff until the voting was closed. And I've been doing this for two gruelling hours. Hahahaha.
Things out there during Wednesdays and Thursdays were crazy because of this show and all the Filipino nurses in the whole United States were alll glued and all eyes on the television to watch the show as well as voting for our BB Chezz right after the show so that she will remain victorious until the end.
Now that she was in the finals next week, the group is doubling it's effort to campaign for more votes. They even campaigned for the nurses in London, Australia, Greece, Canada, Philippines, New Zealand, and everywhere around the world to vote looking for search engines that intsruct people all over the world to vote for free. Isn't that madness!
Well, now that our BB Chezz is in the finals I myself is readying for the voting process next week. I make sure that the battery of my celfones were all charge up and the lines of my landline were been paid off so that my service will be okay on Tuesday nighy. Aaah this is madness really!
With these things happening to help our BB Chezz get the highest votes I hope that our concerted efforts willl not be in vain and will help out BB Chezx win the top award. I will be the happiest person ever if she wins. At least our efforts will not be in vain.
I luv the idea of winning and if she will win she will be the first Asian-Mexican singer to have won this popular contest as well as the most youngest one. What an honor really!

I Have Voted
There's a mania lately about a certain contestant in American Idol. She sang astonishingly and was riveting in every renditions she did. Her name is Jessica Sanchez, a 16-year-old phenomenon and a "kababayan"
She is a Filipino-American born and raised in San Diego to a Filipina mom and a Hispanic military father. Her voice appears very grown-up and professional that's why many people were attuned to her songs including my self.
Every time she sings I was lulled to another world and I was captivated by the emotions of the song. It was very stellar and always over-the-top as one of the AI judges had blurted out. I am hooked to the show because I wanted to follow her and see her grab the coveted winner position which promises a lot of fortune and fame.
Last night, a very cool Wednesday night, I plastered mysel in front of the television and watched the four contestants as they elbowed themselves toward the finale in two weeks time. Watching everyone sing I was in oohs and aahs and was excited as the show gradually progresses to culminate.
When Jesicca sang her first song I was glued to the screen and listen to her smooth growly rendition of Etta Jame's "Steal Away". It was classy and bluesy and added to that a lot soulful. It was a fresh of breath air that she delivered it to the top. The other contestants were just sub par and overall round one was A-okay.
There were duets by the two boys and the two girls and it was just the ice breaker of the whole show. It was just for intermission purposes and both duets didn't really raised up the bar.
The the set of individual songs were very competitive and the one that my girl had sang was ultra powerful and was delivered with a professional touch of a very experienced singer at such a young age. It was pretty much captivating and wonderful.
After the show I lined up my two iPhones, my MacBook, and my home telephone then simultaneously dialled the phones and tapped my computer trying to register my votes. It was crazy-cool to have done it and at the same time Facebooking to check my friend's comments at "RNs For Jessica Sanchez" group in Facebook.
I learn to multitask at that moment, punching redial every now and then and entering codes online by copy-pasting the codes. It was just hilarious! I was balling and it was very exciting.
I kept doing that for almost two hours until I've exhausted my maximum numbers then I gave it a stop. It was very exciting and enjoyable doing it and I hope my girl had gotten enough votes to stay for safety. I hope and I am crossing my fingers.
With the outpouring of support from all the Filipinos around the globe, from the Philippines, Europe, Canada, and America I hope every one had casted their votes and I can see how they want to give support to her despite of the fact that it will be our pride and honor as Filipinos to be recognized as good singers. And that tasks was given to my "IT" girl.
No matter what happened she will be guaranteed to have a bright future and it will be just an icing in the cake if she champions the finale. That will be a big celebration for us Pinoys and she will be a National Pride.

Setting Goals Is Very Important
It seems that everything lately was been in order. After succumbing to a long time depression my life had turned back around in full circle. I have picked up the pieces and had put the puzzle. It was a great feeling to be back to normal again.
It seems that stress is in constant influence in our life. It makes our daily endeavors like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down. It was like were just circumnavigating on the same circle of life. And it all depends on us alone to break the circle.
There are a lot of factors to weigh in and a lot to consider. My life was been bombarded with a lot of stressors and had attacked me at th esame time and I don't know what to do. It was a total disarray and sometimes I have to go far away to escape the reality of it but when I come back it is still the same situation where I left of.
I've been living in my previous apartment for four years and I never realized that I am a depressed person. I started to hoard unvaluable things, had been locking all my room and not opening the windows ever since I've lived there, I've been an insomniac, been sleeping less that 5 hours every day, never opened my mails and some of the important mails were been left off, I dished my best friend, was been see-sawing on my weight, and just wanted to work every day just to escape the hapless situation of my pad.
I even lost track of my bills just paying my creditors without even realizing that I over paid. For example, the water cooler I've been renting for eight years for $10.50 can be actually purchased for $80.00 and my Direct TV has a lot of charged channels I've not been watching and I have that connection for already five years. I neglected to check it in the first place.
Then luckily, I've got the opportunity to transfer upstairs and had discovered those things that I have hoarded. I have found out that they were invaluable things that needed to be thrashed which even crowded my place. The dark room had emanated me a very hapless environment and I just realized how lonely it was to be in there.
Now that I am upstairs I had organized all my things in bins and they all looked good now and not crowded my place. I reduced my Direct TV channels and had lessend my monthly bills as well as had purchased the water cooler and not suffer paying the exorbitant rent charge monthly.
My situation now was slowly picking up and I started to cook now for my own refusing to eat out an dspend so much money for the restaurant food. I also had prioritized my schedule and had a two day off each week and had programmed my goals and priorities in order.
It was a good feeling to have gone back to what I hav eused to. Now I even had more time redirecting myself to God and had found some time to spend more quite times and speak to Him intently to guide and help me with my individual struggles.
Thank you Lord for being there all time for I know that You were just waiting for me to tap You but I still refused or deny to do it because I have a huge superego. I am sorry if I have hurt You in the past and thanks for being there all the time.
Thanks for carrying me through despite I didn't know or recognized You were there. I was so engrossed with my human and materialistic nature and I have neglected that You were there. I am sorry for all the hurt and the neglect.
It seems that You were the true God and that you've always forgiven me for my trespasses. Thanks for helping me set my priorities and that I am back on my feet again. Thank you so much!
