Time flies, I remember watching the audition for American Idol Season 11 and now the final verdict is getting nearer. Next week the grand winner will be revealed. Not only people in America are excited to know who would be the grand winner but people here in the Philippines are all excited because of Jessica Sanchez. As we all know she is half-Filipino because of her Filipino mother from Bataan province.

Well, I hope Jessica Sanchez will get the title. If this happened she is the first winner who has Filipino blood. Aside from that she will be the youngest American Idol winner. Her voice is very popular, indeed very talented girl at the age of 16. So hoping she will win the competition, deserving eh!

I loved all the songs she sang during Top 3 performances. The first song was My All by Mariah Carey it is judge’s selection. For the second song she sang I don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. While for her last song, Jimmy Iovine’s picks I’ll be there by Jackson’s 5.

The contest is based on voting system so I hope our kababayan (fellowmen) who are in America already voted for Jessica. This is not only her triumph but our country as well. So let us support Jessica Sanchez all the way to her victory.

I am watching Dream High on ABS-CBN during weekdays but I felt hanging after it was aired for 30 minutes. So the other day when I went out to pay for my credit card I bought also DVD of Dream High. It’s a pirated DVD (quiet) hahah, I know it’s wrong to buy pirated DVD but its cheap compares to original one. Anyway, I started watching it today and I already in the middle of the story. Watching on DVD is better than watching it on ABS-CBN. I don’t want to wait for more days, weeks or maybe a month just to know the whole story.

But I don’t push myself to finish it in one sitting. I just watch it when I have time especially before going to sleep. For sure in less than a week I will able to finish the whole story. Here is the synopsis of Dream High… Six students at Kirin Art High Schoolwork to achieve their dreams of becoming stars in the Korean music industry. During the drama, the students learn how to develop their singing, songwriting and dancing skills while also undergoing personal growth. They also go through their love life and start to develop feelings for each other. Each one of the students has his or her own strengths and weaknesses, but with the support and guidance of each other, they strive to debut on stage. (Wikipedia).

I just watched Bandila and one of the news aired is about our country who made on top among the kids that use technology or gadgets most in Asia-Pacific. Cartoon network  is the one responsible for this survey. They surveyed kid’s ages 7-14 that are fond of technology. Our country Philippines made it on top. Well, this is not really surprising because nowadays, I have seen children who are fond of using gadgets like computer, laptop, iPad tablet, mobile phone, PSP and many more.

For many children they find computer as their best companion especially if they have assignment in school. Kids in elementary level have their own mobile phone. My daughter started to use laptop when she was one year old but of course that time she just crush keyboards using her fingers. When she was 3 years old she already knew how to control the mouse and started to use this laptop especially during the time she was addicted to online games like Plants vs Zombies and Cooking Academy. Later on she was introduced with MP5; this is an imitation of PSP but she used it for a short period of time. Now, PSP or Play Station Portable is her new companion. She learns how PSP works easily and her favorite game is Toy Story 3.

I don’t have fear even though she is using different gadgets because I do guide her and she has limitation. There is no wrong of providing our kids with the different technology or gadgets but it should not stop there. Proper guidance stills the key of healthy lifestyle of our kids.
