David Cook’s version of Mariah Carey’s Always Be My Baby is way better than the original one. Brilliant. It was haunting and his version expresses the feeling of longing for a special someone which is the message of the song. I found it more meaningful and sentimental. Just like what Paula Abdul said, it could be a good movie soundtrack. Simon was even impressed of his performance because David took the risk and made it. I felt so proud of him. It’s sounds like a whole new different song. It gave me chills and it moved me. I got teary-eyed when he was singing. It made a great impact to my emotions. I can relate more with his version. I can’t believe how beautiful it turned out. The song keeps playing in my mind, last song syndrome. I can say that he really did a great job. Two thumbs up for David Cook. I hope he wins.

I went to my mom’s hometown together with my mom, my brother, his kids and his wife. It’s my nephew’s death anniversary. He was 9 (or 10 I think) when he died last year. He drowned at a beach somewhere in Tolosa, Leyte. We have to travel for 30 minutes to my mom’s hometown where her brother is the Mayor of that town. As usual, there were so many people who came since my uncle is the mayor. My uncle, auntie, cousins and my cousin’s kids were so excited to see my brother’s kids and wife since it’s the first time we brought them there. And besides, who could resist the cuteness of Calvin and Georgina. haha. We arrived there at exactly 1:00. No more lechon and dessert. Too bad. After eating lunch, we went inside my uncle’s house and let the babies sleep. I took some pictures on things that I found interesting.

Here are some:

The teddy scared the hell out of me. I thought it was some kind of ghost or something. haha

I wanted to sit down but there were guest outside and they would see me.

I was just fascinated to see a red-colored leaf.

Can’t think of a caption. Sorry. haha.
