Ramiele Malubay Outstands All American Idol Contestants

ramiele malubay

Ramiele Malubay outstands all contestants in American Idol Season 7. She sang wonderfully the song, “You don’t have to say you love me” which was originally sang by Dusty Springfield. She performed it during American Idol - Top 12 Girls and the 3 judges Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell were impressed with her performance. Simon said, that she outsung every person tonight.

Ramiele Malubay is presently residing in Miramar, Florida, but was born in Saudi Arabia (November 30, 1999) and spent her early years in the Philippines. She has been singing ever since when she was 12 years old. She was attending school and was a hostess at a local sushi restaurant before joining the American Idol contest. Her musical influences are Aretha Franklin, Jackson 5, Mariah Carey, Lani Misalucha, and Regine Velasquez. She also plays the piano and guitar. She loves to hula dance in the shower, and was so shocked when she made it to the Top 24 that made her slapped herself in the face.

I have a feeling that she will be next and be the first Asian to win the American Idol. She had a great and controlled voice. For such a small girl I did not expect that she sang like a professional singer. Good luck Ramiele, stay cute and be humble.

My DotA Tips for Ish'kafel - the Dark Seer

Outcast Dark Seer, Ish'kafel is judged by Scourge champs as the most deceitful and skillful in influencing or controlling others for his own advantage in Defense of the Ancient (DotA). A dusk tavern intelligence-type hero with full of mysteries and limits his words only for the Lich King, Kel'thuzad. His peculiar abilities and expertise stand out in both attack and defense that is triumphant in knocking out foes from the beginning until the end of the battle.

Using ion shell, a release of magic shield that injures contact enemies, can boost up resources or gold. Another form of skill that makes a well-hidden hollow is vacuum which pulls anything into the center of the chosen parameter and gives damages. Vacuum and ion shell combination are one of the nicest trick to increase wealth in the game.

Boots of speed or any increasing movement speed items are quite not needed in the early game because of his supportive surge skill which bestows the target with maximum speed in a short period of time. The skill can be directed to any ally hero and it is an advantage if you cast the spell into a melee type hero with massive stun abilities like Ursa Warrior, Stone Giant, Pandaren Brewmaster, Magnataur, etc.

The ultimate skill is the best assault technique when invading opponents’ base especially if it is a 5 vs. 5 game. If any hero passes through the wall of replica, an image of themselves will came out which takes 250% damage and deals 35%. Enemies’ tower or any structural unit can be easily destroyed if being placed nearby.

These are my items equipped for Dark Seer: Radiance, Battle Fury, Heart of Tarrasque, Linken Sphere, and Boots of Travel. If you have better suggestions, reactions or any additional information, just leave your comment here or email me. Thanks!

Coffee Prince the 1st Shop

Coffee Prince the 1st Shop is another Korean popular drama series aired by MBC Channel from July 2 to August 27, 2007 which consists of 17 cups (episodes). The chemistry of the couple, Gong Yoo (as Choi Han Kyul) and Yoon Eun Hye (as Go Eun Chan), are fun to watch because their expression in their acting was so natural. “Later on they fight; later on they misses each other.”

Eun Chan's father died when she was a child and promised her father to be the breadwinner of the family. She had a numerous jobs and gave up her femininity just to do men’s work. Her gender was mistaken as a boy by Han Kyul, a happy go lucky rich guy who has been set into blind dates by her grandmother for he’s about to turn 30 years old. To keep away from those arranged blind dates, he decided to hire Eun Chan as his gay lover yet, she had no choice but to accept the job for she badly needed cash to pay her debt.

Han Kyul inherited a coffee shop that nearly leads to a bankruptcy from his grandmother. Female is not accepted to work in the shop but Eun Chan begged to be employed. Because Han Kyul mistaken her identity as a boy, he hired her. Feelings started to occur in the middle of the story. But, what if he finds out that she’s a girl? Will she be kicked out? Or will they fall in love and accept each other? It’s for you to find out on what will be the answer. It will be aired soon in the Philippines’ GMA network this coming New Year 2008, January 1.

I’ll be waiting for the Coffee Prince 2 and MBC were planning for it because both lead cast click well together including rating of the show. However, I’ve heard that Gong Yoo may not be around on the next sequel for signing up the army in one year. I guess no one can replace their perfect chemistry on the series.

Best Christmas Tree in Davao City

It is tradition that we decorate an evergreen tree with colorful glittering lights, apples, candy canes, stars, stuffed bears, and putting gifts underneath every December for the celebration of Christmas Day. The well known holiday symbol has played an important part since ancient times and has been used by honoring gods and spirits during Pagan festivals. Endless legends surround the lore of the Christmas tree and I’m lazy to tell you all about it. So let’s just skip it and focus into something different.

Most communities are now displaying Christmas trees in public places throughout the world. Some are conducting competitions on the most beautifully decorated or eye-catching Christmas trees among their respective places and be rewarded with bunch of bucks. A lot of methods and materials are used for decorations just to be creative, unique and to meet the criteria of the contest.

Christmas is the most unforgettable and sparkling event of the year. It creates joyful memoirs like family reunion, Christmas caroling, delicious food, exchanging gifts and other kinds of fun gatherings. When you will see a stunning Christmas tree around your area, I’ll bet you’ll exactly took a picture of it along with your family, friends, or by yourself.

christmas treeSo if you still haven’t took a picture and found the best Christmas tree around you, you’ll be lucky if you’re in Davao City, Philippines. During night time, davaoeƱos are getting together here just to take some images of it. It is located along J.P Laurel Avenue, Bajada, Davao City, Mana Davao Building. It is the most beautifully decorated Christmas tree I’ve seen so far in my hometown. So, here’s the picture in case you’ve missed it.

Another Scam On Wowowee?

Wowowee is a variety game show for children and adults hosted by Willie Revillame (Papi) who brought fun and excitement for most local viewers including “The Filipino Channel” (TFC) subscribers in some other countries. The noontime show helped a lot of people even though Papi gives sometimes a little insensitivity in his jokes.

Despite of those words stated above, it created a lot of controversies that shocked most of the Filipinos who watched the show daily. It was first a stampede broke out on February 4, 2006. The root of the mad dash was closing the PhilSports Complex gates by the security. The people who can not get their tickets for the show rushed and panicked to enter the gates. It was reported that 74 people died and hundreds were injured. That was the most shocking accident happened in the whole history of Philippine television.

Another scandalous event happened last August 20, 2007, in their new segment called Wilyonaryo. There are two sets of films on the contraption, but Papi pulled the wrong film which displayed "0" instead of the right film, where the number 2 is detached from the contraption showing a second winning combination. There is something fishy happened in the game portion. Here’s the video if you’re unable to watch the details.

Lately, a new Wowowee scam has been uploaded in www.youtube.com. It’s for you to decide whether this show is a scam or not. Here's the clip:

DOTA 6.49b Anti Map Hack Version

Good news to all anti map-hackers, PandaMine had designed an Anti Maphack Engine for DotA 6.49b. He fixed the replay desync bug, made various improvements and cinematic mode has been removed. Implementing this version will now cease the maphackers and bring back the game into an absolute strategic and fair game. I hope that this map will be recognized by the authors of the original DotA Allstars map and be encouraged to release the official AMH (Anti Maphack) version in its official website.

Because of this map hacking epidemic, I used to play some other games in Warcraft like TD (Tower Defense) maps instead of playing latest map versions of DotA. However, I discovered last week that AMH map version has been released. It will detect any maphacking software for the entire game and automatically kicks you out of the game if spotted using maphack. As soon as the game had started, it will pause at around 60 to 90 seconds. The content is still original done by IceFrog and you can download it through this link:

It feels great to win the game if fairly and honestly played.
