On Pickles and Dog Shows
Damn! It's a sad day. Kellie Pickler just got voted off American Idol! They didn't pick the Pickler?!? Americans... sheesh. Now that's one less reason to watch AI. Good thing Kat McPhee's still there. Oh and yes, I admit, I watch AI. Is that so bad? Haha. A bit of brainless TV programming is like "liquid sosa" for our brain, it empties and unclogs so that more information can come through. Haha.
On another note, I was watching this dog show on the news where the mutts were all dressed up, shampooed hair, pampered beyond beastiality. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE dogs! Especially our cute little mongrels (read: Askal aka AdobongAso aka IsDatARodent) with those cute little stubs for tails and clueless rat-like expressions. But I think it's just too much. No offense to other dog lovers (madami tayo alam ko). That special news coverage (now how did THAT become newsworthy??) just seemed quite a bit insensitive, especially now when Filipinos are poverty-stricken and dying of hunger. I'm sure the cost of maintaining these breeded dogs' extravagant lifestyles (food, shelter, clothing[?!], spa and salon treatments[?!?!]) per month could already feed a Filipino family of four... easily! Imagine that?! Hey I've got a brilliant idea: Pet lovers, instead of adopting pets, could adopt a poor Filipino (or two) and they could provide food (kahit wag na Alpo, mas mura tira-tira) house them (wag naman sa doghouse, lagyan naman nila ng bintana) and take care of them like they do their beloved pets, and that could surely solve a significant part of the Philippine poverty situation. Think about it! Then they could relocate these beagels, german shepherds, shitzus, chiuauahs, and what-have-you's, into the slum areas where they could fend for themselves, rummage through trash, beg for food, do cheap tricks, just to survive, just as nature probably intended them to do. Wouldn't that be more fair? Isn't that more human? If dogs can be loved so much, don't you think human beings also deserve the same treatment? Although I'm not so sure if poor-human-pet shows could pass our current ethical standards. And I guess it's just not the same, seeing a poor person on a leash and on all-fours jumping through hoops just for that prized doggie biscuit. See the hidden meaning there? Just a little helpless sarcasm to get some of our rusty gears turning. After all, sarcasm IS the mother of invention. Necessity is debatable.

i love kelly, pero iba na kasi yung league nung other 6 contestants. they're all so good it's hard to guess who'll win. and kelly is... well just damn cute with ok voice. :) i personally hope elliot or chris wins. lalaki naman! :D
i agree with your "adopt-a-human" idea. i really don't like dogs, pero unbiased naman to noh! ang laki-laki nang ginagastos nila with their pets, while sa labas nila, andaming puede at kelangan ng tulong nila.
the problem is, people find it hard to trust other people. and you really can't blame them. you see people who help other people tapos pagsasamantalahan pa nila. you give so much time and effort to them but in the end, they may not be who you expected them to be. samantalang with dogs, you can always train them to become what you want them to be. emotional kasi mga tao e. :D
Hmmmm... don't you find Kellie annoying? Feeling namin kasi mejo exagg na yung pa-cute niya eh (parang faker!)... Si Ace! Geez. Nagluksa ako when he got booted out. But then again, I wasn't listening to the voice ... just looking at their physical features! (haha!)
About dogs ... kaya once a month ko lang pinapaliguan si Barney! Sayang sa shampoo! (hahaha) Pagkain pa lang, lugi na ako! :OP
Cherry: haha, i made that comment about adopt-a-human to my dad and he said the exact same thing. people turn to their dogs/pets specifically because of their loyalty. people will come and go but dogs will never leave u. kaya nga nakakatawa no? man's best friend is not another man, but another animal. Hmm... makes sense. I hate elliot, nakakainis mukha niya. Hehe. But in fairness, that boy can sing.
Doray: Kellie is NOT annoying, she's cute, bubbly, naive, and superb eye-candy. Oh and she can sing too. Haha. Isn't Ace gay?? Basta wag na muna nila tanggalin si Kat, okay pa tayo. Miss ko na si Barney a! Sino mas cute si Barney o yung mga mongrel namin? hehehe... no contest.
Hey, after watching the episode of AI where Kellie got booted out, you could tell she was going to be. I mean, it looked like even she was knew. That was just an awful rendition of Unchained Melody. Don't get me wrong, I liked here, but I think she herselfwas tired of the competition. She missed her dog to much. Chris should win it on sheer talent, but most likely america will vote for Mcphee.
Hehe, you moved here na pala!
Haha, I bet her dog missed her just as much. If we're talking about talent, Paris should win it hands down but I don't think America is ready to make her the winner. I think it's going to be Chris. Hopefully, Kat's going to stick around, she's adorable.
best regards, nice info »
