American Idol Season 12 Top 10 Revealed

The Top 10 of American Idol Season 12 was revealed tonight by the show host Ryan Seacrest. After several cuts, the Top 10 contestants finally survived the final cut to welcome them to the Live Shows. The host revealed the finalists by telling the contestants in a room that they made it through to the Live Shows. After revealing it to the contestants, they were brought to the stage to surprise the judges and the audience. These Top 10 contestants will get to perform on American Idol Season 12 nationwide tour this summer including a lucky wild card contestant as what announced by Ryan. The top 10 finalists are:

Amber Holcomb

Angie Miller

Burnell Taylor

Candice Glover

Curtis Finch Jr.

Devin Velez

Janelle Arthur

Kree Harrison

Lazaro Arbos

Paul Jolley

They will be the ones that will show America and the world that they deserved to be included on the list. Some people say that list is perfect but some say it's the worst list ever in the history of American Idol. Well, these results depend on the votes and the same for the succeeding live shows. 

All Fil-Am contestants were wiped out from American Idol Season 12 after Adriana Latonio got eliminated from the Semi Final. But it doesn't mean that Filipinos, as one of the avid viewers of American Idol, will stop watching this show. I believe they still have their own bet on who to win the Season 12 of American Idol. Hopefully, Adriana Latonio will be included to the World Tour in the Philippines for another warm support from the Filipinos. 

Do you think America made the right decision with the results? Who do you think will win the American Idol Season 12. Take time to vote on the right side of this page. 

POEM: Prayers are the Best Meds

So this is the first time I will join the Verse First in Poets United. Since it is all about Cure, hope this one will make sense with the topic required. I just remembered how scared am I when my father was rushed in a hospital. And I told myself, I don't want to be in an ambulance ever again. Let me know what you think after you read this... ;)

Concentration broke with the wail

Saw a man lying, pale

There's a woman on his side with a face of fail

I'm at the back holding the bill.

We're in the bus of fastest

People-in were on their weakest

The road were the busiest

I began to worry holding my fist.

As the man hear me talk

He forced himself, he spoke

"Take care of your mom, she'll cook"

Tears flowed my cheeks, she looked.

"You'll be okay" I replied

My mom held him and spied

She didn't go away his side

So do I.

He slept for a while

The bus run another mile

I looked the grip of his hand

To my mom's right armband.

He began to breathe deeply,

I thank God willingly

We don't want to loss him truly

"We've arrived," I told them gladly.

I can feel his pain

Rushing through my vein

Nurses were rushing in

Checking him with a keen.

Inside the white room

Everything's like a doom

All we're sitting with a loom

I sighted all patients in a zoom. 

The room seems clean

Yet it's full of things so mean

It's safe as it seems

But our hearts were on dim.

Prayers are the best medicine

I told myself, I'm expecting

My mom, I heard crying

"Don't worry God will help us," He's looking. 

Choosing the Best Diamond Ring: Don’t Do the Same Mistake he Did

A mistake cannot be done if you are going to get something special. Life for some might be full of mistakes, but not this time. Michael was trying to get her wife a diamond ring as a gift for their 1st year Anniversary. He has no idea what type of diamond ring will he get. The only thought he has on his mind is that his wife always wants to have a diamond ring on her finger. He is also on a tight budget so he was asking for friends’ advice where to get the cheapest diamond ring but they have no idea. As he was walking downtown, he saw a shop for jewelry. He decided to have a look inside thinking that maybe he will find a ring there that will suit his wife's finger and his wallet.

When he was checking the diamond rings that are available a lady approached her. He was asked if he is looking for a diamond ring because she has one available handy and looking for a buyer. Marian whispered to him saying to go out the jewelry shop and they will just talk to each other at the coffee shop in front of the shop. When the two arrived in the coffee shop, they get a table and talk for a while. Marian slowly reached the diamond ring from her pocket. It was a beautiful diamond ring with a princes cut. Michael was so amazed on how elegant it looks and really excited to buy the ring. Marian sells the ring for $1000 since according to her it’s one carat in a 14 K white gold. They had a deal; Michael bought it and went home as fast as he could.

Michael has the diamond ring handy. He can’t believe it that he found someone or either someone came forward to him to offer an elegant ring for a cheap price. When he finally sat on the sofa, it suddenly came to his mind, what if it is a fake ring. His heart pounded so fast and he started shaking. He contacted a diamond specialist, the person who his wife usually contacts to verify if the diamond is truly pure. Shane went over and examined the diamond ring. After Shane delivered the result to him, he was dismayed. He can’t believe it that he spent his thousand bucks to a young lady who he doesn’t even know and even ruined his surprise for his wife. That day he bought just a simple bouquet of flowers to surprise his wife. After all, it is still better to check with a diamond specialist to make sure that your money is worth the item you’re buying.

Note: Don't do the same mistake he did! 

A Japanese Man Refused by the Hospitals 36 Times Died

The man was living alone in the city of Kuki, a city north of Tokyo. He had a difficulty breathing reason why he called an ambulance. Paramedics rushed to his house to help the man but they were refused by all 25 hospitals in the area saying that they could not accept the man because of lack of doctors or any beds. According to the local city official, some institutions were contact once to help the patient but still refused.

The ambulance decided to have a 20 minute drive to a hospital in neighboring Ibaraki, but the man was pronounced dead after arrival. The cause of death wasn't announced in public. According to paramedics, they never experienced a man being rejected multiple times. The official said that the city where the man lived needs to improve their emergency room capacity.

This happens because of the population of the people living longer in Japan but with a fewer young people who are entering healthcare, and this could become increasingly strained in the coming decades.

Real Batman Handed a Crime Suspect

You will not going to believe this, in the middle of the night a man dressed as Batman went to a British police station handing a crime suspect and said, "I've caught this one for you!" according to the officers.

Police officers were baffled with the mystery fighter who handed a crime suspect that has been part of a couple of crimes including a couple of fraud-related offences. The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

After the mystery event that night, the police in the Buttershaw area of Bradford has still no idea who is the mystery Batman and he still remains unknown.

Few say that he may know the suspect since there was a little sign of struggle when he captured the arrested man which was caught in a CCTV.

Whoever this guys is, he saves the day! ;)

A Baby was Cured from H.I.V., How True is this?

Apparently doctors were able to cure a baby with a virus causes AIDS or what we called as H.I.V. The treatment started a day after the baby was born. And if the baby is truly affected with the said virus, this would be the first time a person was cured with just simple drug treatments.

If it is about prevention from the transmission of the virus to the baby from the infected mother, that is possible during pregnancy and with necessary testing. Those found infected will be treated with antiretroviral drugs and giving the babies a 6-week course of 1 or 2 drugs will prevent the baby from being infected. In most cases, this type of prevention works, but if it turns out the other way around, doctors provide stronger drug regimens to have the infection treated from the baby. 

In the recent case of an H.I.V. infected woman from Mississippi, she was not able to do the treatment during her pregnancy, so that doctors gave her baby a 3-drug treatment-strength regimen, that is 30 hours after birth. This medications were continued for 18 months until the mother decided to stop going to the hospital and stop the medication. After 5 months, the mother with her child returned to the hospital and was found that the baby is free from the active virus. The baby is now 2 and a half years old. With very sophisticated tests, traces of virus can be found but this will not be able to spread and replicate which they called as "functional cure."

This was an alert to all doctors who are willing to find cure to this dangerous virus. Yet, researchers need to demonstrate conclusively that the baby was truly infected and was not just a prevention from absorbing the infection from the child's mother. 

If this is really believed to be the cure of most cases, it could be the start of standard care around the world since statistics shows that 200 babies a year are born with H.I.V. infections in the US, and 300,000 babies a year are born with such virus and infections abroad. Even if this will work in the future, the best defense with the transmission from the mother to the baby is still prevention which is preferably treated after the infection set in. 

Cynthia Villar Caught Nurses' Attention - Is it Bad?

One of the candidates for Senator of CBCP, Cynthia Villar is now the topic of most FIlipino nurses because of her "Pagsubok" question from Winnie aired last Febuary 23, 2013. She was asked, "How can you reconcile your desire to help the poor at pagpanig niyo sa may-ari ng nursing schools na gusto sanang ipasara ng Technican Nursing Committiee at ng Ched?"

Without any hesitation she replied, "Actually, hindi kailangan ng mga nurse na matapos ng BSN. Kasi itong ating mga nurse gusto lang nilang maging room nurse. Or sa America and in other countries e ano lang sila, yung parang mag-aalaga. Hindi naman sila kailangan ganoon kagaling."

With this being said, I caught myself saying, "Hell no!!!" Nurses had a hard time studying during their college years and as what graduates and students said, it's like entering hell that you need to strive to get out to save yourself. So simple, it's not easy to get this degree. And her, saying that Filipino nurses would just like to be a room nurse, it's not "JUST" or "LANG", because they are the "right hands" of the doctors and still in a cooperation to save someone's life.

I'm not sure what she was on her mind that time, thinking that Election 2013 is about to come and that she is one of the candidates running for Senator. According to DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment), Philippines produces 200,000 Nursing graduates per year. Look! That's per year, and if most of these are registered to vote, I don't know what will happen to Cynthia VIllar after her statement. Maybe she needs to make her self up and think of what to say to get the attention of the nurses that she meant something else, because if not... we'll see what will happen!

Note: I'm not a Nurse or a Nursing Student, but I have friends and families who are... And hearing this, is such a BIG MISTAKE for her...

POEM: What are You

I was a little bored that time when I wrote this down on a piece of paper. Guess, I cracked a laughter after reading it. Afterwards, I even asked myself what kind of person am I? So how about you, ask yourself where do you belong? ;)

Being single,

Can make you mingle,

Can make your eyes twinkle,

And can cause no rattle.

Being married,

You can't be paired,

Only one cared,

And going home late you feared.

Being crazy,

You can't think you're lazy,

You think all are easy,

All the time you're busy.

Being nerd,

You're becoming weird,

Words in mind are stirred,

All have sense even a weed.

Being hot,

People can only say 'what',

You forget you do have math,

'Cause all you think is not becoming fat.

Being a loner,

You're a world-owner,

Problems you have sooner or later,

You're becoming weaker and weaker. 

American Idol Season 12 Top 20 Finalists

After tonight's show, the judges made their decision on who are those that will complete the Top 20. We have seen a lot of talents from this season. Unfortunately, some of them have to end their journey. Good news is, most of the finalists are the real artists and singers. It has been tough for the judges to choose who to stay and who to send home. It has been the end of the journey of 20 contestants and the other 20 will have their chance to show America and the world that they are worth for a thousand votes.

The TOP 20 FINALISTS are:

Zoanette Johnson

Aubrey Cleland

Candice Glover

Breanna Steer

Janelle Arthur

Tenna Torres

Kree Harrison

Angela Miller

Amber Holcomb

Adriana Latonio

Curtis Finch, Jr.

Elijah Liu

Paul Jolley

Charlie Askew

Devin Velez

Vincent Powell

Lazaro Arbos

Cortez Shaw

Burnell Taylor

Nick Boddington

For FIlipinoes, they are still on the go and have the full support for Adriana Latonio, since Bryant Tadeo and Jett Hermano weren't able to get the chance to go through to the Live Shows. It was a sudden farewell for the both of them. Josh Holiday whom I believe is a real singer was sent home after the deliberation tonight but it's not the end of his journey. He has the voice that most of the people will surely love. Rachel Hale, who finally got off from her shell last night and showed the world how confident she was to deserve a stool for the Finals, was too eliminated from the show. These guys and some have a real potential that can make the music industry boost, which I know American Idol might not be the right place for them, but surely they will have their own spot and they will have their own star shining brightly on the sky. 

I know most of you guys, have your own say with the results. What do you think with the finalists? #idolagree or #idoldisagree ? Comment below or tweet your comments with the hashtag #idolagree or #idoldisagree .
