going through PINOY DREAM ACADEMY withdrawls

i gotta learn to let go. a couple of days ago, i kept asking my sister to change the channel to tfc, cuz it was "that time". all she said was, "it's not on anymore!" :( after all these months, it's finally over. trying to let it go, but it's gonna take a little while. right now, i'm transferring all my pda episodes onto vhs. it's gonna take me forever! so far, i have the first month, but i have so much to get to clear up my dvr. it's at 98% capacity. gotta go to target to buy more tapes.

so, imma try to write a little review of what i think of a couple of 'em:

• YENG - the winner and Grand Star Dreamer. Daymn! she good. every songwriting competition, she won. she wrote the pda theme song. won the christmas song competion. has a #1 song in the pi from a song she wrote when she was 14! and she can sing very well and consistent. her stage presence is incredible. i could just tell that she has IT! i was telling my co-worker, that i didn't feel as excited about someone winning something since Kelly Clarkson won the very first AI!


• JAY-R - he has a really good voice. lead for a boy band, but i like boy bands! hehe.


• RONNIE - Ronnie's come such a long way. I remember when i first started watching the show, i was like, um, is this tall chinoy gonna say anything. He just flew under the radar. He has a good balladeer voice, but he didn't have much of a personality. As the show went on, i started to like him. Now, I see his career being AMAZING! but i do see him being more of an actor and host... and dancer :) hehe


• CHAD - the rocker from down under! honestly, i love his version of ANAK! totally blew me away!


• IRISH - i thought about her while driving back from sac last night. i drove down i5 and cut across to 580 which made me pass Tracy, where she's from. I don't know how anyone can grow up there, no disrespect, but it's in the middle of nothing. And in the middle of this land, sprung up Irish Fullerton. i'm really proud of her. she was real in the house. i hope that she can have a good career in the pi.


• PANKY - i LOVE her song, FAIRYTALE! I'll admit that i didn't like her at first. she was rude and i thought she was really cocky. but one thing i couldn't deny if i tried, she's unique. she has her own style that i can't compare to anyone. all i saw was her tough exterior, but as time in the house went on, a beautiful person opened up and grew. she breaks the mold of what a female rocker is and redefines it. i really hope that she takes the life lessons that sir jim and the other teachers and fly.


• ROSITA - she has some problems, but i hope that she sees the special person that other people see. she hilarious too. wish her the best.


• YVAN - *shaking head* should have been in the final 6! out of everyone, he is my favorite singer. i can't wait til his CD comes out in January. and i couldn't be more proud and inspired by his performance of "Iris" when he got expelled. he gave the most amazing performance, and the note he hit at the end of the song. GRABEH! i hope that he has an awesome career, cuz imma buy his CDs!


• DAVEY - an amazing guitar player and songwriter. I loved his christmas song the best!


• KRISTOFF - not the best singer, but his attitude is inspiring. i couldn't help but feel bad for him as he cried to himself by saying that he's given everything, but he wasn't getting better. at least he's on a couple of tv shows, including one of my favorites, LET'S GO! that show cracks me up!


• NIKKI GIL & BIANCA GONZALEZ - okay, they weren't scholars, but i really liked them as host. I'm hecka gonna miss seeing them every day!

ok. i'm done with this post.
