Wow I have been very busy that I just do not have time to update my blog that much. A friend of mine sent me an instant message thru yahoo messenger over the weekend and informed me about google's PR update. Out of curiosity I visited my blog and found out it went from a PR 2 to a PR 0. WAaaaahhhhhh!!!
Wondering what happened to my PR.... After reading some forums I read some people saying their PR went up and their sites were relatively new. Seems like google is up to something new. Hmmm... that is for Internet marketers and SEO experts to find out! Lol!Read full post...
A note from the blog owner: The amount of traffic going to this blog post has been unexpectedly so overwhelming from supporters of Laarni. Thank you for appreciating this blog post. I am not a fan of Laarni or anybody from PDA Season 2. Just a viewer who got hooked watching the show and giving her opinion on what happened. To all the fans of Laarni, if I made you happy with what I have posted, thank you for the appreciation. In my interest to protect my blog post, it would be very much appreciated that only excerpts of my post be posted to whatever fan sites you guys have built for Laarni and not the whole blog post that I have written. You may give the link to my blog so your friends can also read it. Thank you very much guys..
I am one of the many viewers who consistently watch ABS-CBN's primetime shows and I also got hooked watching Pinoy Dream Academy. At the start of the competition, I thought it was Liezel who was going to be the runaway winner because she really had this unique voice and she proved it by becoming a consistent top scholar, but as the weeks passed, Laarni Lozada proved to be one of her strong contenders along with Bugoy.
Some viewers are asking.. why did Laarni win the competition? Did the Filipino audience pity her because of her frequent crying as seen on primetime?
Here is my analysis of what happened. During those times when I would miss out some primetime shows on TV, I see to it that I watch it thru youtube. I know of somebody who religiously uploads these shows for those who are not able to watch it thru TV. One day, while I was watching an episode of Pinoy Dream Academy thru youtube, I read the comments below the video (which I normally do while waiting for the video to buffer). One comment caught my attention. Somebody kept promoting a youtube account for fans of Laarni.
Out of curiosity, I viewed this you tube account. To my surprise, there were so many videos in that account and it all contains stuffs about Laarni and some videos from live stream. Whoaaa! Live stream! Yes indeed… you need not pay ABS CBN to view live streaming coz somebody is uploading it here for free!
What is more surprising is that Filipinos working abroad are donating E-pins (the ones you use to vote a scholar you want), and cellphone loads to be used for voting Laarni. I really got curious as to why they liked Laarni so I tried to read some of the things that they are discussing and it was there when I discovered that some things which they have seen in live streaming were not aired in primetime TV and this really made them upset, seeing there was a bias against Laarni.
One video that I saw was how Liezel walked out while washing the dishes. She was calling Laarni to get the “basahan” in the sink so she could wash the dishes. Then Laarni came and got the “basahan” but placed it just in front of the sink, which made Liezel upset and walk out, uttering “Ayaw ko na mag hugas!”.
For me that was so uncalled for. The “basahan” is just a piece of cloth that she could have easily removed it herself rather than tell Laarni to get it just because she was the one who placed it there. If each and everyone of us would exhibit that attitude, then I don’t know what will happen. The sad thing is, this was never shown in prime time. For the fans of Laarni, this was unfair. According to them, when Laarni does something wrong, it is immediately shown on TV to make her look bad. Hmmm… yeah indeed I would have to agree. Her bad attitude was really always highlighted during primetime telecast.
During their Final Performance Night, Mr. Ryan Cayabyab, their Head Master, made a mistake by making a bad comment on Laarni’s performance that night. He said “you made a mistake, actually you had several mistakes.. but you were able to carry through”. This caught the ire of Laarni’s fans, making them put in more votes for her. All the other scholars made mistakes during their performances and had flat notes but they were never given bad comments.
I monitored the fans of Laarni during the final hours before the voting was closed and I was really shocked at how they panicked that the e-pins they purchased were not yet sent to them, and they were looking for people to trust to help them in voting. I also learned there was a limit of 30 votes per email address in one day. Somebody even created hundreds of email addresses to be used for voting. Gosh! These OFW’s are spending a lot of money all because they want to prove to ABS-CBN that they did the wrong thing in hurting Laarni.
True enough, their efforts paid off because Laarni Lozada won as the Grand Star Dreamer, with Bugoy winning second, Miguel 3rd, Liezel 4th, Van 5th, and Chris 6th. One more thing, the fans of Laarni were saying prayers for her to win the Grand Prize. Just proves how team work and prayers can do miracles. I just hope Laarni will recognize how those people helped her achieve her dream and that she won’t let her popularity get into her head.Read full post...
Do you love fruits? What was do you think is the most expensive fruit that you have eaten? Grapes? Peaches? hmm.. lemme think...
Last Monday, I got a call from my mother telling me my father wanted to buy Melon fruit. Hmmm.. so why is she calling me? Here's the catch.. she is calling me coz my father wants me to buy it for him. Wahhhh.. so ok.. how much is it? My mother told me it's P120/kl.. and I was like.. "whhhaaattttttt???!!!" Melon for 120/kl? Are you kidding me? It took long before I could reply on the phone. hahahaha! Made me really think.. how many kilos is 1 melon? My mother said it's more than 2 kls. WOW!!!! That's P240+ for a Melon fruit... hmmmm is it worth it to spend for that? Well if you want to know what fruit I'm talking about, take a look at the picture below. I really took a pic of this very expensive fruit.
My mother told me that father just really got so curious how this fruit tasted coz they said it's very sweet. Oh well.. do I have a choice? hahaha! Anyway, to satisfy their curiosity, I said "Yes" and they bought the Melon. So how did it taste? Well just like the ordinary Melon.. but just much sweeter. You can actually eat it without putting milk and sugar, you can just bite it and enjoy the fruit.
There is nothing really fancy about this fruit. Trust me it will be the first and last time I will buy this fruit. Not worth it.. hehehe
I know this is kinda late. Well I have been so busy lately that I have not got that much time to post to this blog. I do hope I'll be able to really update this regularly. Well anyway, last August 31, 2008, a Sunday, I treated my family to a dinner out. The original plan was to treat them at Yellow Cab pizza but some of them reacted since they have already tried Yellow Cab Pizza and it was only my brother Mark who has not tried it yet. Poor Mark... better luck next time.. hehehe...
So I asked them where they want to have the dinner treat, and Mark suggested why don't we try out Roadhouse at SM City. Hmmm.. why not? Haven't tried eating there. My nephew was excited upon learning that we would be going to SM. Not because we were going to eat at Roadhouse, but because he wanted to play at World's of Fun.
Anyway, we arrived at around 6pm, good thing coz we were able to immediately get a table good for 9. While we were having our dinner, we saw some customers waiting to have a table available for them.
We had 2 orders of baby back ribs, 2 orders of sinigang na bangus, 2 orders of sizzling squid, kinilaw, shanghai rice, and crispy pata. We have to order crispy pata since it is the only viand that my nephew wants, he is very picky of the food that he eats.
The service was excellent and the food was superb, except for the kinilaw. Me and my brother Mark did not like the taste of it. The price of the food.. hmm quite expensive.. lol! Let's just say I spent more than 2k for that dinner, and I already had it discounted coz my father has a senior citizen ID. Just wondering why they only placed the discount to 1 order of baby back ribs and the kinilaw. Hmm.. my father also had a can of coke.
If you'll ask me if I'll go back to that place? Well yeah.. I saw some yummy food in the pictures hanged outside and I want to try those the next time, especially the bulalo. hmm yummy!
