Goodbye Elliott

Sob. Sob. Sob.


Elliott Yamin was voted off American Idol, leaving Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee to battle it out next week. Taylor Hicks is fun to watch and Kat McPhee is a pretty sight, but for me Elliott is the best singer and should be the next American Idol.

Obviously, America thinks otherwise. But it was not that easy for the Americans. Elliott lost by an extremely narrow margin. He received 33.06 percent of the final tally, a record 50 million votes. The other singers got 33.26 and 33.68 percent of the votes. It was that close. Aargh...

Elliott Yamin might not have won the title, but surely, great things are just about to come his way. The end of a good thing is the start of something better.

Goodbye for now, Elliott.

An open letter to my mommy

My dearest mommy,

Hey mommy! Belated happy mother’s day! I’m sorry if I wasn’t able to visit you last Sunday. You know naman that it’s only daddy who knows how to drive (well, Candy knows how but she doesn’t have her license yet and I don’t trust her, hehe) and since it was raining in the morning, daddy decided not to push through with the plan anymore. He’s not getting any younger and with the bad weather and all, it would be hard for him to drive all the way from Paranaque to Marikina. Hehe, isisi ba sa daddy? :-) Anyhow, Angelo, his wife Vina, and the kids, Inna & Luigi were able to make it and they went straight to Paranaque after. And oh yeah, I think you were able to see Galo too coz Angelo said Bwana also dropped by your place. :-)

Well, today is another special day coz it’s your birthday. Happy, happy birthday mommy! :-) So how does it feel to be 66? :-) I'm pretty sure you're missing us up there but then again I know that you're always looking after us down here. I also know that you're always with us, as if you didn't leave at all. It feels great to have our own guardian angel. Hehe!

So what's up? What's summer like in heaven? :D Down here, to say that it's hot is an understatement. It's super duper crazy hot!!! But you know how pinoys are. Sunny/Hot weather=Summer=Beach=FUN,FUN,FUN. Not too many people complaining, which is a good thing. We'll also go to the beach end of the month. It's my first time with a new set of friends, new co-workers, and I'm positive we'll have a good time. :) Oh yeah, don't worry about me, I won't go swimming (since I don't know how hehe) or skinny-dipping (hahaha!), but I'll try to get my feet and my hair wet somehow. Hehehe!

Hey mommy, I need to go now. People here in the office might notice I'm not really working :P Just remember that I love you so much. Please continue to look after us. 'Will talk to you soon.

Love,
Colette

Don't let Elliott go home yet, pls...

I'm a big fan of American Idol and this year I'm hoping Elliott Yamin will end up the winner. He's the short guy with weird-looking ears, hehe, but definitely has a great singing voice. Last night, for his second performance, he sang the song "Home." As usual, I was impressed but I also had the same reaction as Simon's. I was worried that America might send him home because of the lyrics of the song. But Elliott made it clear that he didn't want to go home yet --- I hope the whole America will let him stay --- and eventually win this year's AI. :-)

I reminded my brother last night to not text me the results especially if it's bad news. Well, he texted me alright and he said that I'd be happy with the results. Hmm...

No more ym - that's what they think!

When I got back from lunch today, our IT guy told me that he needed to uninstall the yahoo messenger from my computer. I was like "Ha? Bakeeettt?!?" which was then followed by another question. "As in now na?" He didn't really need to answer my second question coz he was already infront of my helpless pc and was doing his thing (it sounds dirty, but you know what I mean :P). While he was robbing me off my "life," our IT guy told me the reason behind the "robbery." I didn't absorb it though. When he was done, I told him "hindi ako magte-thank you!" and he laughed. I usually say thanks whenever he does something on my pc and that was one thing I didn't appreciate. But hey, life goes on. :-)

Actually, I can still log on to my ym even if it was already deleted from my pc. Ako pa! Hehe! I'm not going to re-install it, there's another way. Hehe! And besides, bawal lang naman pag nahuli eh. Haha!
