I have not actually followed the whole season since I have no time in watching the series on TV. Also I find the season quite bland but I still believe that there are still worthy talents that deserve a break in the music industry. I liked Crystal Bowersox for the quality and musicality. Although I think that one winning factor of Lee Dewyze is is evolution from a good singer into a great one.
I almost forgot that this was the last American idol of Simon Cowell, even though he is mean sometimes, he has a point and also gives a challenge to the contestants. I think, even if I have missed this season, I might get back again and still live the American Idol dream. By the way, I actually watched the Finale at Greenbelt 3 cinema sponsored by Greenwich. So there were food, photo and some souvenirs so I would really enjoy Idol fever!
Its not only women that would say that their hair is their crowning glory. Us men also consider it also as a great asset. I admit that I have neglected my hair and scalp health and luster. This is caused by being exposed to the sun and the other elements like pollution and chemicals like gel and wax to get the desired shape. And recently I wanted to make it up for my long-damaged hair. So I am discovering new ways to revive and make my hair more smooth and manageable.
I look like this everyday I would wake up. But of course I wont go out without fixing my messed-up look. My hair is a little bit curly so I would be a challenge to fix this one. Bad Hair day will always be my daily struggle.
But l luckily, I came across a new innovation for my troubled hair. The New Sunsilk Co-creations Shampoo,I got a sample when I went to the Sunsilk Fashion Show at the Mall of Asia. I got to try the smooth and manageable variant by Yuko Yamashita, known for her Yuko straightening products. I was amazed that an international hair expert would make a product available locally with worldwide quality.
One truth is I have lost my faith in other shampoos that promised to give be better results. However, I am very intrigued what will be the results after. First it has the cool bottle design, but what got my attention is the scent of the content which is a sweet because of the yogurt ingredient. The viscosity of the shampoo is thick that makes sure that its made of quality ingredients, which is a fail for other shampoos.
I may sound scientific but it pays to know the shampoo well since this is a daily routine that we do. and just like what I said, I need something to help me regain and manage my hair back to a very healthy state. Now bath times over and just drying up my hair, now we will see the results!
I was very impressed on how it did well on my hair. its easier to style and made it soft. I loved the results and finally say I have found the perfect hair companion. Now my hair looks sleek and beautiful and I am ready to face the world. No wonder Sarah Geronimo looks glam with her long shiny hair. Now I can go to events and places all day and may not need for other hair products like gel or wax. I feel more confident now. This is my fashion statement and I am loving it!
Like what I have promised in my last post almost a month ago, I again went on an exciting adventure at the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival and this time and for the Final stop would be SM Megamall! Even if this is my second time to experience this, It still became a unique and more enjoyable day because of friends that I have with me on this one.
I thought for the second round of my adventures I would have to go alone, since I understand that most of my friends are busy with their own lives. But It was very fortunate of me to have some other blogger friends with me going to SM Megamall. Even though I live in Pasig, I just atteneded an earlier event in Makati where I have met with my blogger friends. Coincidentally, they also were on the way to SM Megamall to attend the same event and was also curious about what will happen.
I was with Ate Sire and her sister Mabelle from Makati to Ortigas via the MRT and when we arrived at the mall, we have also encountered fellow blogger Jonel who has been to the event center. And as we were at the registration booth we also came across anime Blogger, jay Angeles which is a good friend of mine. So the solo flight that I was expecting turned out to be a group experience. Of course, we went to the Picture booth to have our pictures taken and this time, I tired to pose with a prop (a hat). And again, I am posing myself like the model that I am.
Since the mall is bigger, it should be expected that the booth will be crowded and they will try out the different areas to experience the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival. Because of this, there was a long line of people who wanted to try out the Wii games and the Guitar Hero. Although I was planning to seek redemption on how poor I gauged at the same game the last time. I actually enjoyed watching others do their stuff which I think I should get a Wii for myself soon. Also there was also a Private Iris booth for the kids, too bad I'm way past the age limit.
Well also one interesting thing is again I have encountered the DJ and his booth were you can ba a DJ for a day. This time, I get to see him perform live and took the chance to record it and share it with you.
we were also greeted by a heavy downpour of rain which actually stranded us for a while, we took the opportunity to do one more thing. Go online and plurk/tweet about the event we were now.So it was another epic win for that day as it officially ends the SM Cyberzone Summer Festival on its last stop in Megamall. Summer maybe almost over as school days are near and the rainy season starts, It was a summer adventure that many have enjoyed at the different SM Malls in the country, including me and my friends at the Cyberzone Summer Festival! Woohoo!
The Philippines boasts of sun-kissed shores and balmy clime, but its natural treasure lies in its talented people. In recent years, a long line of illustrious Philippine citizens have stepped on the world stage, and shone under the limelight, grabbing glory for the country, for each of their countrymen to share – indeed, bask in.
We are all familiar with Manny Pacquiao, Efren PeƱaflorida and Lea Salonga, who have all glorified the Philippine flag in sports, education and the arts, respectively. They are but a few from a million Filipino heroes around the world.
The world of international cinema honors the best the world has to offer through the Cannes Film Festival, the prestige and honor of winning the award is not so known to majority of our countrymen. The Cannes Film Festival has bestowed two Filipinos with awards
Fud fyt has been a segment of Manual to Lyf as the food Authority even in the multiply blogging days. And I have noticed recently that there is a NEED for this segment to put up a notch and give it some independence. And since Food Blogging has a lot of things one can talk about which I can add more substance and flavor to it. Like a dish it should be subjected to something new, like experimenting. And even if has its own spot, It still remains a important part of how appreciate food, flavors and all the other elements.
I am still working on the blog for its initial post and also archiving some other posts that I have complied in my multiply account. So in due time, it can actually be a book about food plus more interesting and mouth -watering post that will make you go into a Fud Fyt!
We will also celebrate the new logo containing Manual to Lyf. Basically its like opening a new branch which once was just a cabinet. I hope you will like the new changes, but still keep that hungry mouth drooling for tasting the endless possibility of enjoying and knowing food.
Now lets celebrate!

The Then and Now Music Festival is probably the longest concert I have been to in my entire life but this is also one of the most number of international artist gathered in one event. Its a Audiophiles' dream to hear the original artist of today and the early 90's. It was a fusion of both eras and also a musical roller coaster as you will venture into pop, hip hop, r & b, and other genres that made hits. Artists like Jojo, Diana King, PM Dawn, TQ, Frankie J, Baby Bash, SWV, All for one, and V Factory make up the concert which I think lasted up to 4 to 5 hours!

I was in the Gold Section of the venue which is so far a good view from the stage which is also a good audio point. Its also my first time to experience a concert in the MoA grounds which I have heard unhappy experiences with past concerts but I kept myself open and would like to focus on the musical variety. since the artists were coming from different eras and generations which you can distinguish the differences and the pros and cons of their styles. I am born in the late 80's so I was very young when recalling the older singers but I have to admit the voice and performance quality is very organic and smooth than the latter year artists.
V Factory
My favorite was Diana King for her renditions that still have the same quality and a certain "chill" that you can also say as an X-factor for her. Rap artist PM Dawn gave tribute to master rapper Francis M which also uplifted the crowds spirits. Jojo was also good, and what shocked me is her metamorphosis from a teen pop singer into a hot rockin' chick that has substance and appeal. Most of them were first timers in the Philippines, except for Jojo (her second visit after the Changing Lives concert with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake) and all for one who have been to the country several times. And so far they were very happy with the warm Filipino hospitality and hope to stay or come back soon.

Of course there would be some slip ups from the technical department like no mike volume, uneven sound projection and delayed production sequences, also include the irritating static which I think could be avoided if the the technical aspects were really been inspected well. Because even with great international artists as the acts, with a crappy sound system it would also produce a very bad tune and reaction. Also since its an open air venue, the time duration will actually wear people out, and since there are no chairs, tension is easily produced thus many would be provoked to sit in the ground or leave. I hope that these points would be noted by the organizers for future concerts or events to ensure that the place is still a worthy location for this kind of gatherings. However, I could still say that the ticket price is still worth it if you dig the artists for the musicality and creativity.

Baby Bash with Frankie J
a hot and sizzling JOJO!
Too bad my battery was out when all for one and SVW were performing. But they were best in the batch since they have still proven themselves as very versatile and consistent performers which many may have overlooked. Its like listening to radio and bringing you back to memory lane of the 90's. However, despite these cool facts, I had to endure the very long concert but so far, definitely worth watching all the talented artists. Thanks to kuya Azrael for the tickets and here is a song from the concert by Diana King. Promise, even if its a classic it will still leave you with an LSS of it.
