May 8, 2008; La Paz Butchoy!

I woke up at around 8:00 in the morning today. Ate my breakfast with my favorite milk tea on the side. Then, my dad said that we'll go out to buy some of his equipments for his machine project at Downtown Manila. So, we went there at around lunchtime. We ate at the local Chinese restaurant in the vicinity. Then, we bought the things that my dad needed. After which, we went to Robinson's Galeria to play billiards again. We played for one and a half hours, and fortunately, I won by one rack, 9-8. Haha! After which, I got my hair done at Vivere Salon. Then, we ate dinner at Mr. Choi's Kitchen. Super delicious meal we had! So there!



And by the way, there's a typhoon inside the country named "Butchoy", so always bring your umbrellas whenever you guys will go out of your houses.



And now for American Idol news! Jason Castro, was the latest contestant to be eliminated on the said show. The Idol out of Rockwall, Texas sung "Mr. Tambourine Man" and the remarks of the judges weren't that pleasing. That is why the fans had to think twice on voting for him. Now, there are only three contestants left, namely Syesha Mercado, David Archueta, and David Cook, who is already famous around the world because of his song, "Always Be My Baby", which is a favorite here in the Philippines. Next week will be another busy week for Idol as we inched closer to the Grand Finale. Who will win it all? We'll find out!
