American Idol 8: May 13 results


Danny Gokey got eliminated May 13 on American Idol thus leaving this season with another man vs man face off between Adam Lambert and Kris Allen.

Gokey has been a strong contender in American Idol but has not successfully made it this week. on the other hand, Lambert and Allen have been included in the bottom rank prior May 13.

IMO, i think Gokey should stay in American Idol. the show may lack some competition factor for i think the final two isn't the same level. true that they both have great singing talents but Danny Gokey is a better competitor to Adam Lambert than Kris Allen.

i'll just hope for a really good American Idol show next week for the finale.

My Fucoidan Facial Treatment

it was a great afternoon for wellness bloggers to be treated like kings and queens as we experience pampering in their Fucoidan wellness center. but before everything else, Fucoidan is tagged as the miracle of the sea for it provides nourishment to the body for a better you.



it is developed from the finest kind of brown seaweed and algae found in the deepest seas of Japan which is further studied and found the following effects:

  1. This food supplement builds a stronger body immune system deterring infections and harmful toxins.
  2. It enhances the cleansing of blood that helps lesson blood clotting.
  3. It improves joint mobility lessening the tissue build-up around the key joints and bones.
  4. It detoxifies our inner system and acts as a cleansing agent for the heavy and harmful toxins we have in our bodies
  5. Lowers cholesterol
  6. Proven to help fight cancer cells.
  7. It prevents and controls high blood pressure and cholesterol.
  8. It moisturizes the skin giving it a smooth, younger look and glow.
  9. It helps reduce sugar levels.


Ms. Marissa del Mar gives testimony to this effects while she had been taking this for years and saw improvement in her lifestyle and body. as the only distributor and CEO/President of Fucoidan products in the country, she is now managing the wellness center providing different services using the miracle of the sea.



the place is simple but you will feel at home upon entrance and the attendants, doctors and therapists are so welcoming. they also use modern machines that aid in fat reduction or slimming and skin improvement.



as for me, i have tried the facial treatment and it was really awesome. the treatment was so rejuvenating and with the help of Fucoidan capsules that were given to us to be tested, little by little i felt changes: for one is the proper sleeping pattern and next is the improvement in my skin.

this was my first time to have major facial treatment. it's a little painful to have myself pricked but my therapist had the patience and care like a mother. again, i like to thank Ms. Shirley for the treatment. i'd like to come back again.

the Gay Sagala

it is innate for us Filipinos to have festivals like the Mardi Gras of the US. in fact, Malate in Manila holds their own mardi gras every July i think. despite of the opposes from the Catholic Church, the tradition continues as mere fashion parade among gays. although it gets part in the Catholic celebration, no religious images were paraded. the sagalas depict the different reynas (queens) that are commemorated in the parade.

Brgy. Sta Elena in Marikina City holds this annual parade during the month of May after the town fiesta. year after year, the gays outwit each other with different gimmicks. actually, they are more expected than the regular religious Santacruzan.


sadly this year, rain poured over the sagalas while they were parading. the long gowns and the luxurious jewels came all wet. but as they say, the show must go on. there are also funny stuff that they take with them. one for instance, is so obvious that he had his nose done. he even brought dancers with him before he trails after them. one came in a big float that you can think that he spent a lot of money to outwit the others.

in spite of the rain, everybody enjoyed this quirky show.







above are the photos of the gay sagalas last May 16 at Sta.Lucia East as part of their anniversary celebrations.

Pacman-Hatton: Battle of the East and West Recap

yey! he won again! we are no underdogs and People's Champ, Manny Pacquiao proved it 5 times over after his big fight with former welterweight champion Ricky Hatton of Manchester, UK. though it's kind of "bitin" of only having 2 rounds, that big blow by Manny's southpaw knocked Ricky Hatton down. the West is no match for the East.

we were waiting for the fight on TV and on the radio simultaneously. we sure did make a lot of electricity consumption during Pacquiao fights. the TV was showing the delayed telecast of the undercards and the radio was relaying what was really going on live. i haven't got the chance to see it online, the live radio announcements are enough for me.

The National Anthems
Martin Nievera sang the Philippine National Anthem. i didn't like it. why? the arrangement is not good and not sang properly for a respected musician in the industry. haven't they learned from the previous cases of trashing the Philippine National Anthem? there's nothing wrong in singing it proudly but please, let's stick with the original arrangement.

then Tom Jones sang God Save the Queen of the Brits and Jasmine Villegas for the Star Spangled Banner.

Star-studded
expect the line up of politicians and famous local supporters of Pacman. but there's more than just the Philippine people who bet on MP and able to witness the event. famous wrestler Dave Batista escorted MP to the ring, Hollywood moviestars Mark Wahlberg and Jack Nicholson, and international hitmakers, Mariah Carey and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs were seen on the event. Oscar Dela Hoya, once defeated by MP, was also seen on venue in support of Hatton.

The Fight
only 2 rounds and Hatton's a goner. twice he fell on the first round. first he outbalanced himself when he tried to jab Pacman in the face but Manny had escaped it thus Hatton overturned and fell. Ricky Hatton almost cornered MP on the side of the ring, also grasping him and punch him on the sides -- not very clean tactic. MP's 67 inches reach was able to throw punches on Hatton's face making him a little dizzy. also, MP's speed is his ace.

with about 10 seconds in Round 2, Pacman hits Hatton on the right jaw with his south paw while Ricky Hatton attempts to give MP a punch on Manny's right side. he never saw it coming and totally unaware that made him fall to end.

Manny Pacquiao claims Ricky Hatton's title and still reign as the Greatest Fighter of all time.
