That’s my prediction!

I’m a fan. Heh. Alona told me awhile ago that it will be David vs. David on American Idol Season 7 Finals. And my bet of course is David Cook. His alternative rock voice and performances are really amazing, original and unconventional. I love his versions of Billy Jean, Always be my Baby and I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing.

The other David is, sorry to fans out there, but for me David Archuleta is sooo gay. Yeah, he has the good voice but his music style is a common thing already since we have lots of him anywhere – karaoke bars, singing contest, the ones you see in SOP or ASAP, just like our OPM local artist such as Mark…ahm what’s the surname, Bautista and Erik Santos or Jed Madela.

Whatever.

Basta, David Cook will win!

Mae asked me to define love without using cliche versions. It’s not even valentines day…but hey, I’m in the mood for it. Not because I am currently so into it, wala lang feel ko lang to discuss it in a general sense sans the cliche / quotes / slumbook versions.

Indeed it’s hard to define the word when all the love quotes from books and movies are stored in your mind. So I guess I’ll just have to define it based on what I am currently doing right now while writing this.

Love, I think, for me, is like something you want to do creatively. It equates design. Your output will depend on your skills set and creativity but there also some who finds happiness with just a happy accident design.

Same with designing, the process of it will struck your head for it will take you days and overnights of brainstorming just to come up with a good relationship out of it. You colorize it in accordance to your taste and preferences, beautify every element, nourishing and simply enjoying the feeling.

You will be in awe the first time you’ll see it until you start to adore and parade every moments, every details – until everyone else is starting to sigh, get inspired and live in wishes that they are the one who designed it.

Just like designs, there are some whom you consider good, fair and satisfactory. Some stayed in the front page for a season until it bores you. Some are in the archive, by categories or random while some are shift-deleted to oblivion.

There are also some that started as wrong drafts with minor to major flaws, not liking it initially – but not trashing it just because it possesses an essential element ; so you hold on to a believe that maybe a beautiful design will come out of it. However, after several revisions you realize that there is still something wrong, You’re not comfortable. You’re not yet proud. So you decided it’s better to let go of the draft, you press Ctrl N and try once more to design from scratch.

And then in the end after several drafts and trashing myriad of concepts – you will eventually find the design that is worth keeping, the one that kick ass and makes you love more; that will be the time when you will finally decide to frame it and hang it on your wall.

That I guess is love.
