Lee Wins! American Idol Season 9 Finale

First of all, the Cebu Bloggers’ Society would like to thank Greenwhich Pizza for inviting us to the special live viewing of the American Idol Season 9 at the Ayala Center Cebu, Cinema 3. Aside from the live screening of the show, a sumptuous buffet of pasta and a slice of super yummy Greenwhich American Idol Pizza were also served. Raffle prizes of American Idol microphone speakers, laptop cases, and American Idol T-shirts were also given away to some lucky viewers.

It was indeed an awesome and sentimental finale for American as Lee Dewyze is crowned winner and Simon Cowell bids farewell.

Star-studded as usual, American Idol once again wows the audience with awesome performances from great classic and modern artists including three of my all-time favorite female performers Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morissette, and Janet Jackson. William Hung, who gained fame from his audition on American Idol Season 3, also performed “Pants on the Ground” with Larry Platt.

Previous American Idol winners also gave both separate and group performances, with an exception of David Cook, who was said to be in a charity event thus making him miss the show.

Paula Abdul also showed up as special guest for Simon Cowell, as she quotes Simon's: “You gonna know when to leave the party”.

For almost 10 years now, American Idol has reaped great talents for the next generations to relish. We all look forward to American Idol Season 10!

World Bloggers Day 2010

May 2, 2010. Inititated by the Cebu Bloggers Society, the Philippines celebrated the first ever World Bloggers Day in history. The event was held at Parkmall, Cebu, with "The Cast-away Bloggers" theme, and all attendees were encourage to wear cast-away outfits :)


The event was a success. Many bloggers came, including non-CBS members, a great opportunity for all bloggers to mingle, share, and plug each other's blogs.

International food cuisines were also served by four popular restaurants in Parkmall -- Sai Gon Quan (Vietnamese), Jonny's Fish and Chips Co. (Western), Tandoori (Persian), and my favorite, Shabu Way (Japanese). We'll discuss more about the food later in my next blog post :D

Anyway.....

Masters of ceremony, Andrew and Ethelbert, did a great job in hosting the program. Cool raffle prizes were also given to lucky bloggers. But the best prize was given to Rabsin, who sported the best cast-away outfit. I don’t know if he’d be happy if I’d post his picture here though, hehehe!


Since not all of the bloggers from all over the world can attend the first World Bloggers’ Day Celebration, they just submitted a PowerPoint presentation instead. Among them are Davao Bloggers, Soccsksargen Bloggers, and Manila Bloggers.


It is indeed a great pride to have attended the first ever World Bloggers’ Day in history, and much greater still for being celebrated in my home country. Of course, this wouldn’t have been possible without our sponsors.

Thank you Parkmall for helping us make the First World Bloggers' Day possible!

Talk to you soon guys! Hope to see you in the next World Bloggers' Days to come! :)
