i (we, including the family) have been sleeping late for the last three days. we were glued to the television set watching the American idol season marathon. although we had been watching the show since season 7 started, we still watched. we loved the auditions portions. especially the part were the-bird-man-cometh a.k.a. renaldo lapuz auditioned. of course, we felt proud because he is a Filipino. i agree with him when he said that he loved simon because simon gave opportunity to everyone to have a-15-seconds-shot-to-fame. he became famous for that exposure by composing the song and singing the-you-are-my-brother-my-bestfriend-forever-you’ll-be-in-my-heart. his youtube exposure were tremendous.
of course, we also got to see the elimination of ramiele. the never-ending-flowing-of-tears whenever a-contestant-got-voted-and-booted-out. but what we really loved most was the American-idol-gives-back-show. it was disheartening-looking-at-the-images-of- Africa-and-the-other-side-of-the-U.S.of A. but at the same time it was heartwarming how-these-people-strive-and-tried-to-rise-from-the-dire-straits-they-are-in. and the overwhelming-response-of-the-public-to-the-challenge-of-helping-the-diasadvantaged. 
the appearance of-the-stars-were-just-the-pudding-in-the-pie. especially, when the “Russian idol” came in. it was hilarious and really made our day. The late nights were all-worth-it. 
this week, we'll be sleeping late again - its the final week of the AI!!!
