I just watched American Idol - the top 10 finalists. Seriously they are boring me..I only thought The Australian guy..I always forget his name, and David Cook did awesome. The theme this week was to sing a song from the year they were born. The Aussie sang a mixture of Queen's We Will Rock You & We Are the Champion and David sang..Billie Jean(Chris Cornell's version)!! I have not heard Chris Cornell's version before this (Audioslave dude) and after the show I checked his version out..David did sing his version, although he did tweak it a little here and there. I thought he did a good job. Chris' one was a little raspy, but that's the way he sings lol David's version: Chris's Version (Which David emulated after) and ofcourse, here's the original one: You know the bit where he goes "..but the kid's not my son.." ? I ALWAYS thought it was "..but the CHAIR'S not my son.."..my mum and aunts used to sing that!! I love this versi...

I love this song by James Blunt..the vid is really sad..but I guess that's what he went through when he was in the Army. I always hear this song on the radio at work and the song's stuck to me! Trouble is her only friend and he's back again Makes her body older than it really is And she says it's high time she went away No ones got much to say in this town Trouble is the only way is down, down, down As strong as you were Tender you go I'm watching you breathing For the last time A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means And I'll carry you home I'll carry you home If she had wings she would fly away And another day god will give her some Trouble is the only way is down,down,down As strong as you were Tender you go I'm watching you breathing for the last time A song for your heart But when it is quiet I know what it means [Carry You Home lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com] I'll carry you home I'll carry you home And the...

Location 5: Porto,Portugal Since Salamanca is right next to Portugal, I had to go see what's over there! I took a bus to Porto (Oporto in Portuguese) with my friend. We took a 2.30am bus and it takes approximately 5 hours to reach Porto. The bus company we took was ALSA. It was alright..but it was terribly noisy, there were a bunch of loud teens in the bus making up a ruckus. There was about ~6 American girls who got up the bus and the bus was already filled up, so they could not sit together (My friend and I split up too), then one girl got visibly upset because of the boys. She started to panic and even before the bus left, she was saying, "I'm sorry but I want to get out of the bus, I have a bad feeling" and other lines similar to wanting to bolt. And her friends were like "it's okay, we'll be fine", then one girl said Let's Pray, then she counted 1,2,3..then I guess she prayed..then they were texting their friends who was in Salamanca and...

Location 4: Valladolid I could never pronounce this city right! Anyway I went to Valladolid on a Sunday..BAD move! Most of the shops were closed.Valladolid is another city that you can cover in a day by walking. There are lots of churches and museums to look at. The yellow stuff are actually sunflowers..was too slow to take a better pic. -on the way to V by bus- Beautiful fountain..was nearby the information centre, as well as the park. The park's pretty cool. It's in the middle of the city (at least I think it is!) La Plaza Mayor This is the main square. Looks familiar? It looks similar to Madrid 's main square. It's because Madrid templated this Main Square ! Talk about original hahaha Santa María de La Antigua Lots of Church go-ers as it was Sunday Mass. It has a Roman tower on the left. I sneaked a photo inside. Sorry God! Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Supposedly that it was in Valladolid that Cervantes stayed and finished his famous book Don Quixote. I ...
