Binibining Pilipnas 2015

For 3 years I had hope that Pia Wurtzbach gets the Binibining Pilipinas - Universe crown, and tonight she was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2015.

Way back in 2013, during the Q&A portion, I had thought that she's gonna get the BBP - Universe crown, however she only settled as a runner up. Last year though she only made it to Top 15. A lot of people believe that she gave a weak answer during last year's Q&A portion. However this year, although I might say I was really impress but she gave a much better answer.

Janicel Lubina was also on my list of Top 16. And when she got the Best in Long Gown, and Best in Swimsuit award this was already an assurance that she would get one of the crowns, and I was right as she was crowned Bb.Pilipinas International 2015.

Christi McGarry, also part of my Top 16, was crowned Bb.Pilipinas Intercontinental 2015. However she had already represented the country in the Miss Intercontinental pageant in 2010 where in she made it to Top 15, and was awarded Queen of Asia & the Pacific. Question is, will Miss Intercontinental let her compete again.

Rogelie Catacutan was crowned Bb.Pilipinas Supranational 2015. Although she was also included on my Top 16 list, after Q&A I though she going to settle for a runner up post, but I was wrong.

Bb.Pilipinas Tourism 2015 is Ann Lorraine Colis (I though this would be the title that Christi's gonna get).

Hannah Sison had been one of my favorite since 2013. Although she was only a clapper back then, she made it to Top 15 last year and gave a strong answer thrown to her by the judge (Jeron Teng). Thought she's gonna get one of titles however she settled as 2nd RU. Same thing this year, I really though she's gonna get the Supranational title however she ended up as 1st RU.

Kimverlyn Suiza, was also on my list of Top 16 since last year. Although she didn't made last year's semis, she made it this time. I believe she really gave a strong answer to her Q&A which made me think she's gonna get either Intercontinental or International, however she's announced 2nd RU.

Other Binibinis who are on my list, and made it to semis are...
- Brenna Gamboa (Miss World Philippines 2012 4th Princess)
- Wynwyn Marquez (whom I though will be crowned either Intercontinental or Tourism. But just as I expected she got the Best in Talent award.)
- Kylie Verzosa

So I got 9 out of 15. Other Binibinis who made it to Top 15 are
- Princess Joy Camu
- Maolin Yalung
- Alaiza Malinao
- Justine Felizarta
- Anja Vanessa Peter

Here are the names of the Binibinis who made it to my list of Top 16 but didn't made it to semis
- Nancy Leonard (Originally Miss Philippines Earth - Water 2013 but got promoted to Air 2013)
- Renee Hassani (Miss Diversity Culture Intl 2014 1st RU)
- Mae Liezel Ramos (Part of last year's Top 15)
- Patricia Ejercitado (3-time Binibini (2010; 2012-Top12) and MWP2013 Top 13)
- Toni Hipolito (3-time Binibini as well (2008-Top10; 2010)
- Anabel Tia (Candidate at Bb.Pilipinas 2014)
- Ria Rabajante (Candidate at Bb.Pilipinas 2013, and Miss World Philippines 2013)

Miss World 2013 - Philippines

Oh my God! That is another first for the Philippines

Megan Young was one of my favorite contender in the Miss World Philippines pageant back in August. She's my 2nd favorite next to Bianca Paz. I was really happy that both of them made it to the top 5. Although I was disappointed that once again Bianca Paz was 3rd Princess, I was still happy that Megan Young won rights to represent the country in the international pageant.

Just like in the local pageant where she bag a lot of special awards, I was also hoping that she would also get a lot of awards internationally. Although she only won the Top Model award, she was still a finalists in the Multimedia, and Beach Fashion.

I was so excited every time the score board will be flashed and Miss Philippines is on the top, which means a sure place in the top 5. And I wasn't wrong... not only that she was part of this years top 6, but she won the crown of Miss World 2013... the very Miss World crown for the Philippines.

Congratulations Miss World 2013 - Megan Young

Angie Miller... Out of Idol?

I'm very much disappointed that Angela Miller (my only girl favorite) was eliminated. I'm pretty sure from the top 5 that she'll win... but no. This is crazy wrong...

AI12: Top 5... All Girls.

This is the first time ever that the top 5 are all in one gender. Just as I expected, it is girls year this season.

I was a bit sad though that my guy favorites are eliminated consecutively... well not that consecutive. Paul Jolley (top9), Devin Velez (top8), and Lazaro Arbos (top6). Although I had expected last night that Lazaro will be eliminated, I was still shocked, and sad.

Now, Angie Miller is my only remaining favorite... and she's one of the forerunner of this competition. She's got a high chance of winning this competition. Her biggest competition would be Kree Harrison, and Candice Glover. I predict they will be the top 3.

I hope Angie win this.

American Idol 12 Top 10

Alright, generally I'm happy with he result. Paul Jolley, Lazaro Arbos, and Devin Velez all made it to top 10. Unfortunately Elijah Liu, and Cortez Shaw did not make it. While for the girls Janelle Arthur, and Angela Miller made it.

Others who complete the top 10 are Curtis Finch Jr., Burnell Taylor, Candice Glover, Amber Holcomb, and  Kree Harrison.

Another Disappointing Result.

Alright So, last week I watched American Idol season 12's final Las Vegas round. I was (once again) disappointed by the result.

Bryant Tadeo, and Josh Holiday were eliminated from the competition. I was disappointed because I know both were more entertaining the the others. However I'm so glad that Lazaro Arbos, and Cortez Shaw made it in to top 20.

Now this week's gonna be interesting since from Top 20 they're gonna be cut down to Top 10. So far here are some of those I want to be part of Top 10.

- Angela Miller
- Lazaro Arbos
- Paul Jolley
- Elijah Liu
- Janelle Arthur
- Devin Velez
- Cortez Shaw

Johnny Keyser... Out of Idol?

I cannot just believe it. Johnny Keyser, and Jimmy Smith was eliminated. And Curtis Finch is part of Top 20. This is totally unbelievable... and disappointing.

But good thing is that Angela Miller, Paul Jolley, Devin Velez, and Elijah Liu are part of top20.

Now next week, is gonna be more interesting since there's a lot of good performers on the remaining to perform. Hope Janelle Arthur, Cristabel Clack, Lazaro Arbos, Josh Holiday, Cortez Shaw, and Bryant Tadeo all made it in. Oh and I heard that there's a Filipina who's already in the top 20... Adriana Latonio.

KZ Tandingan... X Factor Philippines Winner.

KZ Tandingan (girls category)... the very first X Factor Philippines champion. Gabrielle Maturan (boys category) finished 2nd place, while Daddy's Home (groups) finished 3rd.

At first, I was a little worried that Gab would be the winner since he had never been in the bottom. When Daddy's Home was announced 3rd place, I was like OMG! this is it. Still worried because KZ was previous week's bottom2 (alongside Allen Sta.Maria). But when it was announced that KZ won the competition, I was like. YES!

A lot of people predicted (ever since her audition) that KZ would won this competition, because she really got this distinct unique voice, and she's really good.

Congratulations KZ.

Medina... Out of XFactorPh

Last night, Jeric Medina (boys category) was eliminated.

When the bottom 2 was announced, I was disappointed that it was Jeric and Daddy's Home since both did great during the performance. Right after the survival song, the judges voted. Martin backed his act (Jeric) and Pilita voted the group out. Gary V. also backed his act (Daddy's Home) and Charice gave the last vote to eliminate Jeric. Deadlock... public vote, Jeric got the lowest... he was eliminated.

Although I also like Daddy's home, I think Jeric should have been saved by the judges. Anyhow, 4 acts left Allen Sta. Maria, and KZ Tandingan from the girls category. Gabriel Maturan from the boys. And Daddy's Home for the group. I hope KZ win this.

Phil Phillips Win!

As I hoped, and expected Phillip Phillips won American Idol 11.

At first I was nervous, and doubtful that he will win because during the first round of yesterday's performance, the judges all agree that Jessica got it (although  I'm also happy about that since Jessica has a Filipino blood). However during the third round the judges agree that Phil got it.

Although I was hoping that Phil would win, part of me also wants Jessica  Sanchez to win the competition. Aside from the fact that she's got a  Filipino blood, it's been almost six years since a girl won the competition (Jordin Sparks, Winner AI6),  and she's the very first  recipient of judges save  who made  it to the finale.

I am so happy that once again, one of my favorite won the competition.

Dixon... Out! Phillips... In!

Alright, last night I watched AI11 elimination, and I'm very much disappointed that Colton Dixon (one of my favorites) was eliminated.

When Hollie Cavanagh and Elise Testone was announced part of the bottom group, and Joshua Ledet and Skylar Laine safe It was down to Jessica Sanchez, Phillip Phillips, and Colton Dixon. I was like OMG! one of my favorite will be for the first time at the bottom group (Colton and Phil had never in the bottom group).

And it was... Colton completed the bottom 3 along Hollie and Elise. And I initially thought that Elise will be eliminated since she had been on the bottom group a lot of times. But I was really shocked that it was Colton who got the lowest vote. And since there's no more save, he's eliminated.

So Phil is my only favorite left, and I hop he made it to the final 2...

Colton Dixon: AI11 Top 13

I'm so happy that Colton Dixon is part of this seasons Top13.

Although I'm sad that Chase Likens, Adam Brock, Reed Grimm (wild card), Hallie Day, Baylie Brown, and Jen Hirsh (wild card) wasn't part of top 13. I'm still happy that some of my favorite are still in like Heejun Han, Phil Phillips, Shannon Magrane, and Jessica Sanchez.

Now this is gonna be an interesting season. Its gonna be hard to pick who's who. American Idol Season 11's Top 13 is so talented...

AI11: Top 24

Alright, so this week AI season 11's Top 24 was named.

I was really happy that most of my favorites made it in, like Colton Dixon, Hallie Day, Reed Grimm, Phil Phillips, Heejun Han, Baylie Brown, and Adam Brock.

Plus I got new favorites like Jen Hirsh, Creighton Fraker, Shannon Magrane, Chase Likens, Eben Franckewitz, and Jessica Sanchez (who I heard was half-filipina).

Now, they said that the top12 boys will be top13. And the judges are deciding between four early favorites... David Leathers Jr., Jermaine Jones, Richie Law, And Johnny Keyser. I hope it's Johnny.

Chris... In...

I felt relieved that Chris Rene make it to the top 17.

Although I was really angry when I learned that Brian was in (I don't really like him), and some of my favorite didn't made it. I'm still happy with the result. Plus I have a new favorite... InTENsity.

The Answer, Tola Woloshin was not part of the top 16. But still, I'm happy that Chris, and Dexter, and Stereo Hoggz made it.

Isis Out

I was shocked, and sad that Isis was eliminated. She's my ultimate favorite.

I thought she's gonna get it this time since she came into the competition more confident than she is before. But it didn't work out for her again.

She will always be my idol.

But I'm still gonna watch for my other favorite Allison Harvard, and Kayla Ferell.

Scotty McCreery Wins...

Scotty McHottie wins...

I am so happy with the result. Scotty's my favorite ever since audition.

At first (top13), I thought that either James Durbin, or Pia Toscano will win since the two of them stood out during top 24. But I was glad, and at the same time sad when they were both eliminated. Happy because there is high chance that Scotty will win, sad because the both (Durbin, and Toscano) were also my favorite...

Congratulations McCreery...

James Durbin... Out

So, yesterday I watched AI10, and I'm not happy with the result.

James Durbin (one of my favorites) was eliminated, with Scotty McCreery (my other favorite) on the bottom group.

I though that Haley will be eliminated since she didn't do well during the first round. But just like last week, she redeemed herself on the 2nd round... which I say, I liked both her performance (House of the rising sun; I who have nothing). But still, I prefer Durbin's Don't Stop Believing, and Love Potion No.9.

Pia Toscano... out, James Durbin... out. Now it's only Scotty, and I hope he's on top 2. At first, I guessed that it'll be a guy (again) who will win this season, but now I'm dreading that it'll be a girl since the 2 girls left are doing it astoundingly... but still, it's anyones game...

Go Scotty...

Pia Toscano Eliminated?

I was shocked... and angry...

I could have never thought she would be eliminated this early, I thought she will be the last girl standing. She's my only female favorite this season.

When the bottom group was completed, I primarily thought that Stefano will be eliminated. But as it was revealed that Pia got the lowest vote, I was as shocked and angry as the judges. Even Stefano was shocked that Pia got the lowest vote (as seen on TV), maybe he thought that he will be going home.

I really hate, I wish people will really vote for deserves to continue. They need to vote for the one's that are really great...
