Picspam!

Whyyyyy?

1. It’s a slow day for news.
2. There have been rumors about David coming here this year, and it reminded me of these prettyyy shots.
3. I want a spam of David’s beautiful face.

Soooo, here are pics from the May 2009 MOA Greet & Bye (M&G) from @nareejo and her amazing camera.

Why so ADORABLE, David, WHYYY?

SEE MORE OF HIS PRETTINESS

Oh my freakin’ gosh!!!!!!! I can’t believe the past week I had. The past week we all had. It was crazy. By far the craziest, emotional, and the most fun week I’ve ever had. I’m sure it’s that way for you guys too. Anyway here are a few highlights of my stay there. Recaps in my own words

1. Met and talked with the archies when we arrived at the hotel. We were exchanging stories like old friends even though it was the first time we ever saw each other in person.

2. Met my bunk mates. Vain girls. I miss you guys

3. Rushed out of our room in a panic because David just tweeted that he was already at the hotel. Karissa lost her slippers and went out using Naree’s shoes. Jen started going out in the wrong way. And Shine went out without putting on her shoes yet. Good thing the hallways were carpeted. Lol. We made quite a ruckus that someone opened their door to see what was going on. Haha. Sorry

4. No David at the lobby but we got to talk to Jeff for a while. He’s really nice

5. Concert day was uber awesome!!!!! We met more archies there! Starbucks was the meeting place. Veer even came all the way from Australia just to watch Archie.

6. I love the screaming for archie!!!! It was waaaaaay loud. I screamed my lungs out too. Got scolded by the security coz I was standing on my chair (how the heck was I supposed to see? Lol. Everyone was standing and I’m just 5 ft tall, so yeah you get the picture. Haha)

7. Met Jeff again on the lobby after the concert and got to hand out the cebu delicacies I brought for them. We also had the weirdest conversation. It went something like this
Jeff: You went all the way to cebu to get these?
Me: No, I’m from cebu. I brought these
Jeff: So you went all the way there to get these?
Me: Huh? But I really am from cebu
Jen: Yeah she is
Jeff: I believe you (said with an earnest face)
Me: (trying hard not to laugh because we were going around in circles) Ok
Jeff: Thank you for these
Me: You’re welcome

8. Mike liked my necklace. He commented on it twice in just a span of a few minutes.
Mike: That’s a really cool necklace
Me: Thanks
(pose for pictures)
Mike: What’s that on it? We walk by….
Me: We walk by faith not by sight
Mike: Cool
Me: Thanks
Someone: Bigay mo na (give it to him)

If it was David who commented on the necklace I would have given it right away. Too bad it wasn’t. Haha

9. Lounged in the lobby feeling depressed because of the emotional roller coaster ride. Then someone says “David’s here”. We then rushed forward and I started crying so hard that David was blurry when he passed by. I didn’t even get a picture or a video. I just went on crying. Kia got to hold David’s hand though. Lucky girl. Haha

10. Gave the gifts for David from the Archies to Eli coz we couldn’t hand it to him when he passed by coz basically I forgot all about it (archustupor. Lol) and it was all so fast. 

11. Met Ray and John who are really nice too.

12. Kendra is gorgeous btw.

13. Lounged again in the lobby waiting for David to go out of the hotel to leave for the airport. Someone then says that we might get a chance to meet David if we behave and that we did. We all formed a line, waited for a few minutes. I believe it was already 7 pm and I was so nervous because Shine and I still had a plane to catch at 8.10. But I knew I would never leave that line until I saw David

14. David came out and my heart was beating so fast. When it was my turn, I handed him the fan he could sign on and he took it on the part where my hand was. Sooooooo he was HOLDING MY FREAKIN’ HAND when he was signing the fan. My mind shut down and I didn’t even say hi to him. I just couldn’t stop staring. DAVID ARCHULETA TOUCHED MY HAND. *melts*

15. Met Jeff again and he said “Bye cebu girl” and hugged me. Awwww. He remembered. 

16. Jumped up and down hugging everybody and crying with them. It was beautiful. 

17. Flew home still unbelieving that I had the most wonderful week ever. I hope David would come back again for another concert. Miss him already. *sniff*

Davids Cook and Archuleta Are Swine Flu-Free

Has the swine flu struck American Idol?

Well, we hope not, but the Philippines wants to be sure. The country’s health bosses are giving David Cook and David Archuleta a rigorous checkup to be certain they haven’t got it before they play a concert in a large mall on Saturday.

Quarantine officials came knocking on their hotel room doors shortly after they arrived, according to Agence France-Presse. Edgardo Sabitsana, director of the quarantine bureau, told them they could be held, arrested or detained and their concert could be banned if they did not cooperate.

Sabitsana claims it took the former rivals nearly three hours to accede, during which time they were on the phone with their attorneys. But in the end, the Davids agreed to the checkup. Their managers vowed to watch for symptoms, including taking their temperature at least twice per day.

Despite the seemingly harsh measures, the Philippines has yet to confirm a single case of the H1N1 virus, according to Health Secretary Francisco Duque.

At least their show will go on as scheduled, unlike the postponed Jonas Brothers gig and the Mexican premieres of Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons and Terminator: Salvation.

Google alerts are an amazing thing, lol.

This is what killed Ayra.

lol.

Because David is the King of Twitter, and the Archangels are Fierce Tweeps.

Twitter fame may be fleeting, but as of this writing, the Philippine noontime show Eat Bulaga is one of the most popular Trending Topics on Twitter.

How did this happen, you might ask? Well, American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta is in the Philippines for his back-to-back concert with Idol winner David Cook, and guested today on Eat Bulaga. Archuleta is on Twitter and has thousands of followers. In fact he made “Philippines” one of the most popular Trending Topics for two days–first, when he tweeted that he was flying to the Philippines, and second when he arrived here.

Incidentally, Eat Bulaga co-host Pia Guanio is also on Twitter, and that’s been adding to the buzz the noontime show is generating today.

Previously, “Manny Pacquiao” and “Pacman” were among the hottest Trending Topics, thanks to his highly anticipated bout with Ricky Hatton.

Wonder how the Philippines will make it to Twitter next time? Surely we won’t always have to rely on Archuleta hehe

Wild Filipino welcome for 2 American idols

‘IDOLS’ David Cook (right) and David Archuleta, Season 7 winner and finalist, respectively of the wildly popular “American Idol,” arrive in Manila for a concert at the SM Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City on May 16. ROGER MARGALLO

MANILA, Philippines—It was “pandemonium.”

This was how an organizer described the welcome American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook and runner-up David Archuleta received at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Tuesday.

The two Davids are in Manila for a joint concert at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) in Pasay City on May 16.

Cook arrived at 1:15 p.m. on a Singapore Airlines flight from Los Angeles. Archuleta came in two hours later via Qatar Airways from London, where he had a concert.

“A huge crowd came to greet them. They were supposed to have an interview with the airport press, but that was hard to pull off with all the people around,” said lawyer Arlyn Mancao of Fearless Promotions, the concert producer.

The singers have a tight schedule, promoting the concert on radio and TV shows, Mancao said.

At 5 p.m. Wednesday, Archuleta will have a meet-and-greet with fans at MOA’s Main Mall Atrium. Cook will meet with regional bosses of his record label, Sony BMG.

On Thursday, Archuleta will perform on GMA 7’s magazine show “Sis” at 10 a.m. He will then guest on the noontime game show “Eat…Bulaga!”

The two will visit radio station Magic 89.9 TM, a major concert sponsor, in the afternoon. Disc jockey Mo Twister will interview Cook at 3 p.m. and Archuleta at 4 p.m.

At 7 p.m., a press conference for the two Davids will be held in the Mactan function room of the Edsa Shangri-La hotel in Mandaluyong City.

Cook will guest on “Eat…Bulaga!” on Saturday
