Ok. I absolutely have nothing in particular that I want to write about. But for the sake of active blogging, I've decided to write random thoughts instead.

So I was watching American Idol this noon and I must say that I was quite pleased with Sanjaya's performance! For those of you who aren't really fans of AI, allow me to give you a little backgrounder on Sanjaya. He's this 17 year old Indian-American dude who has awesome hair but mediocre talent... in singing, that is. As an entertainer, he's pretty good - exactly the reason why he's still in the top 8 when he should've been booted out ages ago. He's probably the most famous of the bunch. While other AI contestants have their own fanbase, Sanjaya has a group of people who are on a hunger strike until he gets voted out. Ahh, idiots. Anyway, for some reason, I can't hate Sanjaya. He's such a sweet boy. He looked hot in the Latin inspired genre episode too. Anna likey!

For the past three days, I've been waking up at 5:30 in the morning to prepare for Silliman on Air. It's this radio show from 6:00-8:00 and Mark has just appointed me and Noel to be 'in charge' of the show: in terms of who to invite, topics to discuss, etc. etc. It's kinda cool, actually; if only it weren't so early... grabeh. Last tuesday and wednesday, Noel and I discussed topics regarding the elections like banning actors and actresses from running, maturity of the Filipino voters and political dynasties. I was surprised that a lot of people tuned in. We got lots of reactions from the listeners through text. It was really cool. This morning we had Odie and Stacy talk about election survey polls. =) Maybe next week we could talk about more interesting topics... hopefully, not the elections anymore. It's too exhausting. Homosexuality perhaps? Haha.

After weeks of agony and a short discussion with my mother last night, it is final. I'm bound for Indonesia this May! Shout with me guys: YAAAAAY! I was actually very skeptical about going since I knew my Mom would be spending a lot nanaman, and I haven't really been the best daughter lately (or ever). But Mark assured us of a reasonable amount of support from the administration PLUS I have awesome teammates (Noel and Stacy), so I guess there's nothing really stopping me from joining. Except of course Bird Flu, terrorist attacks, earthquakes and floods which Indonesia is very famous for. Just kidding. Indonesia's gonna be great. AND I get to test my debating once again! This time, with world class debaters. Screw VUDC... I'm going to the Asians!

What do you do when all of a sudden you realize that there might be a slight chance that something you thought would never ever happen could actually do?

SLEEP it off. Haha. See ya around guys!
