The Best do Fall.

Filed under: tv
 
Judges’ favorite, Melinda Doolittle has been eliminated on American Idol. Melinda is probably the best American Idol vocalist ever and the best this season. But having the best vocals, rave reviews and being the judges’ favorite, as well as a clear winner could not help her move to the next round and be in the final two.
 
This is not new on American Idol. Several contestants, despite having the best vocals and being the clear judges’ favorite does not guarantee them a win on American Idol. It certainly comes down to the votes. Well, it seems like Melinda fans were confident enough that Melinda will go through the next round after Simon made his comment that he wants to see Melinda on the Finale. Hmmmm, I guess America did not listen to Simon.
 
But of course, we still have the two, Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks. They are very much deserving as well. And, both are different performers. The only question is: Who will America love and Who will they vote for?
 
Good Luck!

Lakisha is Out!

Filed under: tv

 
It was a tough night taking on the Bee Gees for the American Idol Top 4. Melinda had her moments but the judges were not jumping up and down. Jordin had a great first song. The judges were really amazed by her performance but finds the second performance terrible. Simon even called it Pageanty, Rand and Paula thought she sounded pitchy. Blake and Lakisha really had the toughest night. Lakisha was struggling with the up-tempo song and a couple of notes with the ballad. Blake, on the other hand, got Randy tired of the beat-boxing.

Only one of them will be out.

45 million votes cast and early favorite Lakisha Jones has been eliminated. emoticon

Final 3! Who will be the next American Idol?

An abrupt ending!

Filed under: tv
 
24 is known for all "to be continued" endings and abrupt deaths. Last night’s episode (Ep. 6x21) might not be the kind of abrupt ending they usually have but it’s about another character’s abrupt end–death. We were just simply shocked when President David Palmer got shot, Tony Almeida stabbed and Michelle Dressler bombed. All deaths were quick and unexpected. The show has showcased these kind of deaths once again. But, pointed only to a particular character and recurring one. Any guesses yet?
 
SPOLIER ALERT!!!
 
(drag mouse to read) 
 
[SPOILER START] When Cheng’s men successfully attacked CTU and held them hostaged, the leader of the group asked who was the head of CTU, well, obviously the acting director is Nadia…however, Milo presented himself as the director of CTU. While walking towards the lead Chinese small army man, BANG! Shot in the head! Milo has just been killed!!![SPOILER END] 
 
Shocking, huh? I did not even expect that to happen nor did it came to mind. 24 is really good at this! But, as to why that person died? Not sure. Maybe it was just something they wanted to do? Or, do we get our answers in the next episode?
 
As far as the plot goes, Daddy Bauer is back. Marilyn and Josh are back as well. Sec. Heller took Audrey with him and has a TRO against Jack. Doyle is out in the field. And what’s with Josh? What do they want with this young lad? Could he be Jack’s son? emoticonA lot of questions, few episodes to go. Can Jack finish this on time? Or does he need more time?

The Warriors beat the Mavs!

Filed under: sports

BELIEVE. If you are up against the number one team, most often than not, people will write you off at one. That you can’t win against them. The Golden State Warriors seem to prove that: Yes, we can beat them, all we have to do is believe that we can and play the best we can. And that they did. The Golden State Warrios have beaten the Dallas Mavericks, 111-86, to move on the next round. This is the third time an eight seeded team has beaten the number one team on the NBA.

Hard work does really pay off. Stephen Jackson scored 33 points with a record seven 3-pointers, and an injured Baron Davis played and even scored 20 points. The team really has that will to win and be the best team they can to move on the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

Good Luck Warriors!emoticon

Two get eliminated

Filed under: tv

 
Last week, American Idol reveals the most shocking result show in the history of American Idol: NO ONE GOT ELIMINATED! Tonight, two of the six American Idol finalists will be eliminated.

Despite rave reviews from Randy and Paula, Phil Stacey gets the boot tonight. The same goes with Chris Richardson. Simon was not sure his performance the other night would guarantee his safety and he was right. America agrees that Chris wasn’t good enough. This leaves Blake Lewis the only guy in the top 4.

Four left. Who will be out next? emoticon

CardroomSupply.com Review

Filed under: sponsored posts

Sponsored Post: 

Cardroom Suppy is your one-stop online poker store. It has products ranging from playing cards to poker chips to poker tables to card tables and more poker related stuffs. The website caters to poker players and gaming store owners. CardroomSupply.com was founded based on the need of the gaming and and ecommerce industry in which Lee Weber, founder, saw the need of a main online store offering a number of poker products at a wholesale price.

What I like with the website is that they have these featured products on their hompage. Images of Poker Tables with great and different designs can be seen on the very first page of the site. It gives us the idea how poker tables and in demand and how poker tables can come in different designs–stylish, classy, simple, groovy and funky. Below the images, we could see two different prices–the retail price and the cardroom supply price. The basic purpose of this is the inform the customers how they could save a lot by buying Cardroom Supply products rather than buy it in other retails stores. Basically, it’s just not about informing the public about the price but also about persuading them to buy the product online and on the webiste.

Another plus about this website is that it really has this huge FREE SHIPPING sign. However, it does not indicate which countries qualify for it. There’s some confusion here. Site navigation, on the other hand was pretty made well. It’s not hard to find and very easy to use. Just point the mouse and click the kind of product you would like to see and choose. Finding what you want is absolutely simple. Also, if you are having problems or have some questions, you might just want to contact them through the contact tab and look for the company’s email address.

How secure? Well, this online store uses an SSL encryption checkout process ensuring privacy and secure transactions online.

CardroomSupply.com uses the same checkout process that Amazon.com uses and it’s quite safe to say that transactions made here will be private and secured. Of course, there’s still room for doubt but it’s very very minimal. Still, It’s better to be safe than sorry!
