American Idol 7 - Boy's Night

Something to look forward to every week! Finally! American Idol is back!! Woohoo!! Here are my take on their performances:

David Hernandez
Liked his voice - but since he was first - there were jitters.

Chikezie Eze
My Gosh - his performance was really boring. This is one of the forgettable ones for me. Sorry guys! And justifying his suit to Simon! He could have just flashed a smile and instead argued on it! First time for me to see this kind of answering back to Simon Cowell.

David Cook
This guy, I loved his performance!! I admit that I'm partial t rockers - and that's one of the main things why I thought his performance worked.

Jason Yaeger
I found it boring - it was like he was singing in a lounge. Simon's comment hit it right on.

Robbie Carrico
His perfomance was okay also. Nothing spectacular but just okay. Song choice was okay. Too many okay-s, okay?

David Archuleta
Loved his groove, loved his voice, loved his shy-ness! Loved everything about him!! He's so cute! I think he may just be 'it' for the boys. He can be packaged very well (when he wins) and he has a great great voice!! He knows how to romance the camera (remember Constantine?) thus - performance wise - very good!!

Danny Noriega
He has such a powerful voice - I know he'll do well in the competition but his performance was just okay for me. There was no 'wow' it was just okay. Found him a little bit 'ahem' with his retort to Simon's comment. Watch out kid!

Luke Menard
Performance was too plain. It was too safe. I have to agree with Simon on this one it was forgettable. It was like he was just singing in front of a mirror and not singing to impress.

Colton Berry
Very good voice! I wasn't able to catch his earlier audition though. He was just okay. I am starting to feel like most everyone's performance is bordering safe to boring.

Garrett Hayley
I like his voice but it was a dead performance (IMO) He could have done better - but I guess with the theme - it was kind of hard.

Jason Castro
It was cute and looked like he was enjoying his performance - but something's missing. I'm not sure what it was - but honestly - I wasn't impressed with his performance - at all. Contrary to the judges - it was not up to par. I think he can do better.

Michael Johns
He reminds me of Heath Ledger - obviously, he's Australian! Pitch problems (I think..) but overall - it worked out! He set such a good mood, looked great on stage - and the best thing was - he sang very very well!! This is the best performance for me. Reminds me of Chris Daughtry (who I absolutely love!)

Honestly - I was quite shocked to see some of the male contestants share a piece of their minds to Simon. I mean those kinds of things are not easy to forget! They're quite memorable! And some seem not to know how to take criticisms. Was it just me??

Top 3 in my book: David Archuleta, David Cook and Micheal Johns.

On a lighter note - I am soooooooo looking forward to tomorrow's performance! I am excited to see and her Carly, Amanda and Ramiele. I can't wait!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
