So here's my ranking of the top 12:
1. Siobhan - she was really hot, amazing vocals, and the girl to beat
2. Didi - I never liked her, but now I did. Didi, one great girl. Love her song tonight.
3. Crystal - I want her to ditch the guitar. Now na. I believe that she has the greatest voice, but she has to unleash more of it.
4. Aaron - Among the teens, he was the best, and I think he has the feelings right for the song, which he showed to the audience.
5. Paige - I simply enjoyed her performance. With her sickness, she pulled it off.
6. Katie - She did pretty well. I felt her.
7. Lee - I still can't get over the pitch sometimes. I am getting the liking of people to, practically due to the roughness of his voice.
8. Lacey - Repetitive. I wish she just did something else than sit. I'm always on the edge with her voice.
9. Michael - Too smug of a performance? His voice is okay, but not that good. Didn't like his performance.
10. Casey - He's lost. He smiles a lot. Pa-cute. But it didn't work out.
11. Tim - I like how he changed the song but I have to be honest, it wasn't good.
12. Andrew - It was a mess. Michael did way better with his moving around the stage. Andrew is a clutter of Micheal's smugness and Casey's pa-cute.
This is based on performance. But taking into account the people's sympathy and all that, my prediction:
Bottom 3: Andrew, Michael, Lacey, with Lacey getting the boot.
I hope it's Andrew though. I hope to be wrong with Lacey, coz I love this girl.

So this is how it feels like to be a bum
Fifteen days after my final oral exam, I find myself doing nothing but stare into the mess of papers and books in front of me. My four years of undergraduate study is finally over, and I can throw away the clutter of readings and notes. Not all of them though.
I'm not doing much. I have caught up with the American Idol shows I've missed, with 7 Grey's Anatomy episodes, and with the last 5 episodes of Glee I failed to watch. I have written two of 5 letters which I am asked to write (I still need to buy that token for my benefactor!)
Looking back in my eight years at the Ateneo, I see a lot of changes and transformations that has happened to me. From being the transfer student from Lourdes School of Quezon City, to the graduating Applied Math major in Math Finance student, I can safely say, that I have grown a lot in those eight years. Interestingly, my graduation from High School and my graduation from the University fell on the same day. March 26, 2006 was my High School graduation. March 26, 2010 will be my College graduation.
I have decided to push through with my Master's program, about ten days ago.. I realized that going for the fifth year will really be helpful in the career path I will be undertaking. An additional year, and I'll have another degree. Taking an extra year will somehow level my education with that of the rest of world. I have heard many professors saying that the world looks at the Philippines as lacking a year or two in education, and sometimes, even when one has finished a master's degree in the Philippines, the student will be asked to take another master's degree, when pursuing a higher degree.
So if this is the case, why take the AMF fifth year still? I feel that it will be advantageous to take the fifth year, whether it is for work, or for futher studies. In working, having a master's degree gives one an advantage over applicants without the degree. In wanting to study further, most likely pursuing a higher degree abroad, having the fifth year somehow levels our education with that of the rest of the world.
God bless all graduates of batch 2010, and I hope that to all of us who are pursuiing this fifth year, that we will be able to make the most of our extra year.
