Carly Smithson is out of American Idol


Carly Smithson is the latest amongst Top 6 Idols to be ousted out of American Idol 2008 competition. Carly is probably one of the idols who has a wide range of voice. She does have that rock tempo on her voice. But it can’t be ignored that she does shout a bit on some of the songs she performed throughout the American Idol competition. Unfortunately, it remains a popularity contest. It’s quite clear that she’s not a favourite of the public having been at the bottom three for 3-4 times.

Viva Las Vegas

I think I have mentioned our recent holiday in Orlando quite a bit now. I’ll try not to mention it too often. We’re hoping that we’ll be able to go on holiday in the Philippines for five weeks later on this year. However, we do like to take a couple of decent breaks annually. It provides an opportunity for us to unwind and “chillax”. This is the joy of having seven and a half weeks paid leave each year. But should we decide to go out of the country for our holiday, a warmer place is definitely preferred.

Unbelievably, the price of pan de sal has almost tripled from what it was a decade ago. Thanks to a charitable Church run bakeshop, less fortunate ones can now afford to buy more for their money.

When we went on holiday in Florida, the villa we stayed in was packed with information we needed for our holiday. However, it would have been fantastic if we know exactly where we can find some shops even prior to leaving England. This would have, to some extent, helped us when we made our itineraries.

I was having a conversation with some of my friends and we ended up discussing about the places they’d been through. Taj Mahal was mentioned during the discussion.
