Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco 2008
THE BEST RACE THIS SEASON SO FAR. wow. a very eventful race. i have been waiting for this since the season started. so what happened during the race?
... it rained. i know that i should think of the drivers' safety during the race. but a rain during the race makes it more exciting especially now with the absence of traction control. the skill of the driver is really tested.
... lots of crashes. they were expected, of course. rain, small lanes, sharp curves...
... among those who crashed were Nico Rosberg, David Coulthard, and Sebastian Vettel.
... the most unforgettable crash (for me) was the one between Kimi Räikkönen and Adrian Sutil. poor Sutil! i know it was just an accident and i'm a Kimi fan, but i partly blame Kimi for ruining Sutil's race. it was supposed to be Sutil's highest finish (4th) in his career, but his car didn't move anymore when he was inside the pit lane. so he got eliminated to think that there were only a few laps left. but his performance was good. he usually never finishes a race. but during the last few laps, his position was 4th, in between Felipe Massa and Kimi (no pressure there. haha.). but something happened to Kimi's car and it hit the back of Sutil's car. tsk, tsk... Sutil will some day have his shining moment.
... Lewis Hamilton won! yey! i really like seeing his reaction whenever he wins. he pumps his fists in the air and jumps for joy. unlike Kimi...
... okay. i am now bashing Kimi. i don't hate him. i am still a Kimi and Ferrari fan. but i am also a Lewis fan so it makes me happy whenever he wins. i want Lewis to win this year. if Kimi wins again, i would still feel happy.
... Lewis now leads with 38 points followed by Kimi with 35 points (he finished in 9th place after crashing with Sutil).
... here are the winners of this race:
1. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)
2. Robert Kubica (BMW)
3. Felipe Massa (Ferrari)
next stop: Montreal, Canada. June 6-8, 2008.

American Idol 7 Finale Events
i am not going to drone on and on again about David Cook. i am going to talk about other events that happened during the finale.
one of my favorite bands, OneRepublic, performed together with David A. i read from somewhere (i forgot where) that they canceled a gig just to perform in AI finals. they sang Apologize. in fairness to Archie, he did a good job singing that song. though of course, it would have been better if Cook sang with OneRepublic.
my fellow Filipino, Renaldo Lapuz, performed his famous song, We're Brothers Forever, together with the USC band. Paula, Randy, and Ryan even joined him on stage. not that i am a fan of him, but i downloaded his audition video from iTunes before. haha. his audition was really memorable.
speaking of brothers, the Jonas Brothers were there. duh. so what?! i didn't even know it was them until my 5-year-old niece, Raevin, told me and Kuya Arbee that the ones singing are the Jonas Brothers. well, i've heard about them and their shows with Miley Cyrus. but i have no idea what they look like and their songs. why the heck am i talking about them?
okay. i know i said that i wouldn't talk about Cook. so i'm just going to feature the video of him singing Time of My Life.
these are just some of the performances that made a mark in me. just visit YouTube for more videos if you weren't able to watch the finale. enjoy.

James Blunt in Manila (May 19, 2008)
i just came home from the concert of James Blunt at the Araneta Coliseum. it was the sixth concert i watched this year. i love it! even though only a few people watched, it was still good.
for someone who sings sad songs, James was full of energy. in the middle of the concert, he suddenly jumped from the stage, ran around the Patron area, shook hands and hugged some people. lucky them! during his last song (1973), he stood at the top of his piano and posed like he was surfing. really funny.
of course, the best parts of the concert were the songs he sang. i can't believe that i finally heard my favorite song, You're Beautiful live. wow. he also sang High, Goodbye My Lover, Carry Me Home, and One of the Brightest Stars. too bad he didn't sing Tears and Rain. but i guess it's okay. i might find myself crying in the middle of Araneta if he sang that. :)
well, it seems like watching concerts is now an official hobby of mine. :D
* here's the link of the videos i took during the concert.

thoughts on a sleepless night: part sept
... it's raining very hard right now.
... i am currently watching Greek (aside from blogging). my favorite character on the show is Crappie. i mean, Cappie.
... i still can't believe that i forgot to pay my cell phone bill twice.
... i was finally able to play Tekken 6 in Timezone TriNoma the other day. yey! i suck. i haven't played in a looooong time.
... my favorite shows (Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty) may have come back for new episodes, but will have their season endings next week. they will be back again after a few months. right. so great.
... i'll be starting a new chapter in my life soon. i honestly have no idea what to expect.
... back to the TV show Greek, it reminds me of Sims 2 University. i really miss playing that game.
... there are a lot of things in my mind right now. but i'm having a hard time letting them all out. i can't even write them in my journal.
... hopefully things would turn out alright. i know they will.

2008 Formula 1 Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix
i know that this is a late post already about the recent grand prix. i was preoccupied with my Vanessa Carlton experience that i didn't pay much attention during the race. all i remember are the crashing of Giancarlo Fisichella's car with i-forgot-who at the start of the race and the car of Lewis overtaking Felipe's in the middle of the race. that's all. as far as i know, nothing much happened. well, here are the winners:
1. Felipe Massa (Ferrari)
2. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes) - he could have won if it weren't for his 3-stop strategy
3. Kimi Räikkönen (Ferrari)
hopefully in the next race i would see other drivers on the podium.
next stop: Monaco. May 22-25, 2008.
