Winner Takes It \All

Ive been a fan of watching reality based tv shows and competitions. Its one of my guilty pleasures on my day to day life. Three reality shows has wrapped up its season , and I did followed these shows religiously all throughout the season, though i miss some of the episodes, nonetheless i could safely say, i am an avid follower.

First to end its season this year is The Amazing race season 14. From the very beginning, i always am rooting on the mother and son tandem of Margie and Luke, and fortunately they made it till the final three. However, deserving winners brother-sister team up of Tammy and Victor made in the end.

Second to take its curtain down is the finale of Survivor Tocatins : The Brazilian Highlands, my favorite TJ emerged victorious, this guy shows toughness and discipline all throughout the game. And the best thing he did in the show is when he choose Stephen to be with him in the finale over Erinn. If you look closely at it those of you who are following the show, it would seem to be easier for JT to win the million if he choose Erinn but he sticked to his closest ally in the end, but if its stephen who won the immunity, he will choose Erinn instead, a different view of the million, putting in the garbage bin his bromantic partnership with JT. Erinn tried to keep her place in the final two by trying to break JT’s trust to Stephen when the latter informed her that he would choose her over JT but it didnt matter to JT as the real warrior has a heart of his own. Congratulations James “JT” Thomas Jr.

And finally, earlier, the season 8 of the famed American Idol crowned its newest singing sensation Kris Allen. All throughout the season, Kris slowly but surely rises to fame, but Adam Lambert showed much stronger force with his originality and vocal prowess. In the end, its America that has the final say.

Tripper na Tunay

Maraming nagsasabing “tripper” daw sila. Meron pa ngang nagsasabi na curious tripper. Hindi ko alam kung merong kaibahan dito. Sila ba iyung mga nakikitrip lang minsan pagkatapos na masatisfy ang curiosity ay hihinto na? Sila ba iyung mga kapanalig ng “just try everything once”? Malamang ay hindi. Masarap kaya makipag-trip. Kaya tanggalin na natin iyung mga adjectives na iyan dahil ang alam ko dalawang klase lang ang tripper. Iyung tunay at iyung huwad.

Sinulog and Politics

Pit Señor! It's Sinulog time once again. No plans going there because I am a anti-social person. Hates big crowds. I even don't like going to bars anymore. Been there once just for the experience. I'd prefer watching TV to see what's happenin. And speaking of what's happenin... I just notice on the tri-media (meaning TV, radio,and print) the advertisements of those ambitious politicians. Nagsulputan na parang kabute. Pa-greet-greet pa kuno but we all know na the motive. I coin it earlectioneering.

Here is an example.

Forty days and nights of rain...feels like we're in Noah's time
Can somebody explain this absence-of-sunshine phenomenon?
I don't think PAG-ASA did a good job. Call it poorcasting. They always blame amihan or northeast monsoon for the weather. C'mon, I am NOT satisfied. I've heard over the radio that there were strong winds as strong as typhoons. Yet they feel that this is "normal".

So move over Ernie Baron(+), Kim Atienza, and Mang Tanie. Ming Meows will seminar you. Watch and learn.
