Ramiele Got Booted Out

Oh loh! Sad to say but our very own Ramiele Malubay, the last true amateur of the competition, got booted out of American Idol. No more reason for me to watch AI on QTV anymore, and no more video performances of her to upload in my iPod. (sigh) She's really done enough to make our flag proudly waving on world stage. Hopefully, this won't be the last we'll be seeing her 'cause she really has the talent to make it big in the music industry. For sure the two network giants here in the Philippines are in a tug-of-war of sorts right now for the exclusive rights of signing her to make her appear in their turf and give her a recording contract. Good luck on your next journey Ramiele.

Anawangin Escapade

Thank God I got a time off this Holy Week and went to Anawangin Cove in Zambales with friends to relax and unwind. The place is a paradise of sorts, great scenery wherein you'll feel that you're one of the casts of Lost. It'll take you a 20 minute boatride from Pundaquit, a barangay of San Antonio, Zambales before you reach the cove. The bangkeros will leave you there and just pick you up on the day and time you instructed them. The place is not yet commercialized, the only structure you'll see there is a deep-well poso and an old style C.R. with no roof, just nipa as walls. And lo, no electricity and no network signals for your celfones, so it's to better to turn off the phones to conserve the batteries. A great escape from the suffocating and stressful urban life. So when you go there, you have to bring everything from your tents, to your drinking water, butane stove and utensils, enough food and garbage bags which gives you the camp hiking feeling. So better make sure that the supplies lasts. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. Enough to get ourselves recharged for the work waiting for us when we get back to our comfort zones.

And once we got a glimpse of civilization, the first text message I received was from a friend, informing me that Ramiele Malubay got booted out of AI. Of all the text messages I could receive?! All want to do is go home and check the news online. And once I finally got the true picture, I wanted to give them a mouthful of @#&$%. But a sigh of relief made me not do anything violent on them, hoho! Just to know that she's still in the competition is enough for me to remain calm. They just made a prank on me because they know that I avidly follow what's happening on her on AI. I don't know, maybe because my "girlfriend" and Rami are both from Florida. But anyway, someday I'll get my chance for payback.
