Cook got Archie served

My first time to watch Idol Season 7 was the Mariah Carey week.
I got wowed by the bartender from MO.
Since then, I catch up on Cook's performances on YouTube and it's only him that I watch.
This morning, I slept as usual at 2:00 am. Since it's Thursday, I got up at 4:30 am for the early morning church congregation.
When I got home at 7:00 am, I got a text from Tim that Idol judgment day is on.
I turned on the TV just to see the show. I knew that Archie's gonna win based on the trend of votes and the "sweep" comments by the judges.
Then my heart dropped as Seacrest announced that Cook is the last man standing!
I don't know but when Cook sings, I feel the connection. His sincerity that he loves what he is doing.
I guess, I won't be seeing him in my country anytime soon. Archie perhaps.
Cheers to DC!
Long live the rockstar emo cowboy! Catch him shuffle here.

My gastronomic wanting

Last month, my friend Tim and her hubby celebrated their anniversary with a buffet dinner at a five-star hotel.

The buffet had international cuisines served. Hearing from Tim and looking at the pictures of what they’ve had, I am actually wanting to have a good gastronomic experience.

I am not thinking actually of splurging on hotel buffets because that would definitely cost me a month’s budget. While I try not to go easy on my food budget, I don’t want to be harsh either. I am a picky eater but I am telling you I eat to my heart’s content when I liked the food.

I was checking on San Diego dining guide and found out that they’ve got the widest listing of San Diego Restaurants from fining dining to laid back set up.

If you’re like me who is always on the go, you could narrow your research according to cuisine, atmosphere, special feature or proximity. The absolute local flavor served online.

And if you’re like me who’s always undecided what to pig out with have among Seafood, Vegetarian, Continental, American, Sandwiches, Delicatessen, Thai, Vietnamese or Italian, go get the San Diego restaurants coupons to make sure that your pocket won’t be ripped off. Unless you have a date who’ll pick the tab.

Heads or Tails - Peace

I'm taking peace.
Holding up your index and middle fingers makes me think of the cool hippies. The hair, the get up minus the weeds of course. hahaha
We Filipinos always love to show the peace sign in almost every photo op.
It has become a picture staple.
On a serious note,
Humanity has been in constant thirst for peace. Ironically though that one has to kill for the love of peace. But no matter how many tons of blood have been shed, our thirst for peace has has yet to be quenched, as yet. And it appears that we are suffering from polydypsia - excessive thirst.
Okay that's too serious.
I also notice that at the end of almost every rap song, you'll hear Peace!
Oh of course the classic, wishing for "World Peace" trying to channel Miss Congeniality.

Peace out y’all!!!

IT security against theft

Being dynamically daring is one of the critical characteristics of a good company. Amidst all the gaps and challenges of the equally dynamic demands of consumers, one has to keep its resilience yet meeting the expectations of the people they serve.

A very classic example is Symark Software’s powerbroker and PowerPassword. Most businesses around the globe run on UNIX and Linux in terms of mission-critical financial, human resources and other applications.

With the use of Symark’s PowerBroker and PowerPassword-UME will allow the most secure deployment of the new HP Integrity Servers and the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating System as it they restrict and monitor access to the classified information.

We are aware that there are potential IT thefts and this is where Symark Software steps in.

The perfect tandem works this way: PowerBroker will protect the root account (which is the most targeted administrative account) from both external and internal threat while PowerPassword-UME will enable IT managers to have centralized control over deployment, modification and deletion of individual UNIX and Linux user accounts.

David versus David

Crowd’s favorite (Archuleta from Murray, UT) and the Idol Mean guy’s man (Cook from Blue Springs, MO) are the last two men standing on Idol's 7th Season Finale.
I know Cook must win for the love of emo.
But somehow I’m wishing and hoping that this highly talented bartender/musician/cowboy gets booted out.
For some selfish reason.
Idol rejects or losers have been doing mall shows here in the Philippines. Started by Bo Bice followed by Elliot Yamin and a handful more. The latest was Daughtry. But come to think of it there’s one AI winner, (shoot I forgot his name, the one that resembles Jay Leno and the one who beat Katharine McPhee.) who did a mall tour here.
Anyhoo, I am thinking that if Cookie lost to Archie, he’ll settle with mall tours in the third world. And it’s my only chance to see him in person!
I’ll give him my xoxo.
So to my blogger friends in America, please vote for Archie. Make it Archie as Cookie so that Cookie will be packing his bags and set off to my country and then we can get married!
