Torn Between The Boxer and The Jealous Guy

So I have a crush on Lee Dewyze. He's not really what I would call my type but with his raspy voice and genuine attempts at gaining self-confidence, I can't help but fall for him. Lee is very very cute. I've been watching his past performances and I notice that every time the judges praise him, he would smile just a little and then look at the floor as if he's shy. I find that part of him totally cute. He seems like the kind of guy you would want to hug and take care of.

Casey James, on the other hand, is a total hunk. He has this what I call a Brad Pitt factor, because somehow, I think he embodies the perfect American prince charming. Tall, long unkempt hair, lazy smile. I have a pretty good idea why Kara asked Casey to strip off his shirt and flaunt his abs the first time they met at the auditions. And it is not at all wholesome! Hahahaha

Anyway, I obviously like Lee and Casey for different reasons. But what is similar to them both is that they sing beautiful songs with ease. I first noticed Lee when he sang Fireflies and although I have seen Casey's hotness since the beginning of the show, I only truly noticed his vocal potential during his rendition of John Lennon's Jealous Guy.

The two boys have received great reviews from the judges tonight and I hope they end up battling with each other at the end. The only person in the way is Crystal Bowersox, but I'm not gonna go and badmouth her here. The girl can sing and I like some of her performances as well.

Though I know I'm only day dreaming, I do hope Lee or Casey (or both) come to the Philippines after American Idol. I would definitely be one of their giddy fan girls holding up signs that say "Lee I Love You!" while screaming exactly the same thing. Since that's not happening any time soon, let this blog be my sign and scream at the same time. Lee, I love you!

Of Theme Songs and Practiced Catwalks

Thinking I could cash in a few hundred bucks while killing time, I decided to apply for a writing position online. The job doesn’t require knowledge on a whole range of topics other than economics, business and more specifically the Currency market which is a plus considering my professional background. I thought I’d be asked to write an essay on the JPY/USD trend and how Greece is affecting the world’s foreign exchange rates, but I was stupefied by the question If you entered a room and a theme song played, what would your song be and why?

The cursor on my laptop screen blinked twice and I blinked with it, wondering if this was a real question or a mere joke. I thought Well, what the heck, it’s an interesting question anyway. So I typed Beautiful Ones by Suede.

Call me vain or narcissistic, call me whatever you want, but I have always fantasized walking in slow-motion with an air of nonchalance like Victoria and the other villain vampires in the teeny-bopper movie Twilight. In my head, Brett Anderson’s distinct raspy voice would re-echo the line Here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones. La la la la as if announcing the arrival of some demigod.

I would then sashay into the room feigning a natural casualness as possible and thinking of an imaginary wind that would slightly waft through my hair making it look flowy but without the frizz. Of course, I will smile at no one as vampires had always had that snobbish air around them, but deep inside, I will be wearing a wide idiotic grin for having accomplished such a meticulously planned feat.

I will then relish every step I will take as I walk into the room. This moment would be perfect and I would finally live the daydream of being Victoria. Disinterested. Elegant. Beautiful. Hahahaha.
