Lady Gaga Live in Manila

Lady Gaga is taking over the world one sequins at a time! And now she's finally coming to the Philippines. I'm so excited!

I've been checking Ticketnet.com.ph every now and then for updates regarding Lady Gaga's concert, but it was until this week when they finally posted event info on their website.

So let's cut the crap and proceed with what you all want to know about the concert!

EVENT DATE/TIME: August 11, 2009 (TUESDAY) at 8:00 PM
VENUE: Araneta Coliseum
SEAT AND PRICE:
You can reserve your tickets as early as now, just visit ticketnet.com.ph by clicking this link. I'm very sad that until now there's no news if there would be an "early-bird" promo for the concert, but I will update you if there have been any changes.

Weeh. Unfortunately, I can only afford a seat at Upper Box B. Huhu. Unless someone would be kind enough to give (not lend) me some money so I could afford VIP tickets. I promise you, I would do anything you ask me to! Hahaha.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 Episode 8 (Performance Night)

So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 Episode 8 was really something to look forward to since having seen the exquisite standards that the dancers have set in their last week's performances. I was expecting great and possible "talk of the town" dances, and that's what I got this episode!

So let us now start with my TOP FAVORITE performances of the night.

TOP 3 Performances:
1 - On top of my list was the routine performed by Melissa and Ade, which was choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.

It was such a brilliant choreography that really showcased the two dancers' talents - Ade on contemporary and Melissa on ballet. Ade's strength was special. He was stable and very supportive of her partner. And with Melissa... she was just fabulous. She looked young for her age. Well, to sum it all up, these two are a force to reckon with in this competition.

2 - Second place goes to Kayla and Max with a pop jazz routine choreographed by Brian Friedman.

I really loved the story behind the dance. Max plays a man who would dace for the princess, which, in this case, is Kayla. He, however, had an intention of throwing her down from her throne, which he was successful in doing at the end. Haha. Oh and about Kayla... she has been very consistent on her performances and, indeed, very, very beautiful!

3 - Last on the TOP list are Janette and Brandon with a disco routine choreographed by Doriana Sanchez.

This was such a tiring routine to watch! The song was so fast, my eyes couldn't even keep up with the dance. In their practices, Janette seemed to be struggling with the routine, but at the performance night, even if she almost tripped over, she was able to nail it! And now with Brandon... he was finally able to get some loving from Lil C, who, in the past, failed to be impressed with his dancing.

And now let's go to my SAFE LIST. The number one stop goes to Evan and Randi with a jive routine choreographed by Louis van Amstel.
I think their performance was just safe because I saw nothing quite memorable about their performance. It was just OKAY. That's it.

Second on the SAFE LIST are Jonathan and my fellow Filipino, Karla with their contemporary routine by Stacey Tookey.
They came second because the performance was really great! I was thinking of including them on my TOP LIST; however, they were not able to match the energy level and skill that my TOP 3 had. Also, I think Stacey from Canada did a great job for these two guys. She was able to ump the level for these two guys who were on the bottom 3 last week. I will be looking forward to her choreography. She's third from all my favorite choreographers, with Mia Michaels and Wade Robson on first and second, respectively.

I hate doing this, but if there are TOP 3 and SAFE LIST, there's also a BOTTOM 3 LIST. On first and second of the list are Shane Sparks' hip hop routines, which made it a very tough night for him. It was obvious the judges were disappointed, but they tried to sugarcoat it to avoid offending him.
BOTTOM LIST:
1 - Caitlin and Jason - Their performance was really dry and boring! Nothing more I could say about that.
2 - Ashley and Kupono - The effort was there, but they lacked synchronization because Kupono was struggling with the routine. Ashley, on the other hand, was so beautiful to watch.
3 - Asuka and Vitolio with a Louis van Amstel waltz routine. It supposed to be a dramatic performance, but they were not able to deliver it. I found it boring, and the dancers lacked chemistry.
4 - Jeanine and Phillip who performed a tango routine by Tony Meredith. They were my number one top favorite dancers last week, but they disappointed me this week. I really love how unique Phillip is in his genre of dance, but he should try harder for the other routines because we expect him to suck in other genre of dance, and that's what he just showed us.

Morphthing.com

I found Morphthing.com through a friend of mine when I saw a baby photo on her Facebook account. I thought it was of a real person, but it was a result of morphing two photos into one. You could combine your face with any celebrity in their gallery or you can upload one yourself. But just make sure the photos are face on (front of the face, not side view) to get better results. Also, you could combine two photos and determine what your children would look like.

Of course, I tried it myself and got a few laughs with the results.

My first try was morphing my face with Jennifer Lopez, and I ended up having a drag queen version of J-Lo. Bwahaha.
And this is what my child with Angelina Jolie would look like. Doesn't she look like a child from Middle East? Beautiful.
Finally, my child with my ex, Drew. Hehe. It's such an adorable boy, just like Maddox of Angelina.
Well, I had fun. Try it yourself. Hehe.

My Homemade Yeast-Free Pizza

We thought it was Fathers' Day yesterday, so my mom asked to cook some spaghetti with meatballs as celebration. My sister and I got confused because of TV adverts that were saying it's this Sunday (June 14). Anyhoo, since there were a lot of the spag left, I brought some to school today for my classmates. They loved it. Not even a single strand of pasta was left.

It makes me happy when people pig out on my cooking. Hehe. It relaxes me. I don't know.

So I told them that I'd be bringing something else tomorrow, perhaps a cake or something. Kaira (my friend) and I went to the supermarket. I planned of making an oatmeal chocolate bar, so I grabbed a bar of cooking chocolate. But then I realized I want pizza, so into the tomato sauce section we went. I also got some beef bits for the toppings.

I've baked pizza before but it was years ago, so I kind of forgot how. Thanks to this tutorial I found on YouTube, I was able to bake a pizza crust.

Then for the toppings, I just combined the beef bits, pineapple chunks, mozzarella cheese, onions, and my special tomato sauce mix. Hehe. Then into the oven it went for 20-25 minutes at 425 Fahrenheit.

It turned out really nice. I made one which is thin crust and another that is stuffed crust (cheese). I forgot to take photos of the stuffed crust though.
Yummy! Hehe. Let's just see how much my classmates would drool over this pizza.
