American Idol

IT’S SEASON 11!!!!!!!!!!! Now that X factor is over I am back to watching American Idol. Ever since my parents bought me the season 6 DVD set I’ve hooked ever since. I could say that Jordan Sparks is one of my biggest inspirations on the show. Just an ordinary 15 year old girl who went on the show completely unnoticed and took everybody by surprise day to day. For such a young to have so much determination and passion for her doings is very inspiring. Shows no matter you want something age can’t stop you in the slightest manner. This year the three rising stars that everybody should have an eye on is Colton Dixon, Philip Philips, Reed Grimm, and Heejun Han and of course these four are who are routing for.


Colton Dixon is a returning Season 10 artist who got kicked off in the top 42 last year, but gladly he made it to the top 24 this year. Now putting him in America’s hands and without doubt girls will be voting continuously. Colton is also a 20 year old face painter who is tremendous piano player.




Philip (AKA Phil ) Philips Jr. is a North Carolinan pawn shop worker, who is 20 years old. He is new to the competition, and I have no other words to describe him but amazing. He has a very unique voice that has a raspy rock soft edge to it, while makes you fall in love with him. He plays guitar and is perfect.

Rainbow Cake


This weekend my friends and I decided to bake a rainbow cake. We had an absolute blast making and eating the cake. Since we were using six different colours we had to make each layer differently. Each layer was supposing take at least 10 minutes, but it took us 20 minutes to complete the layers and 1 hour to make the mix and the covering. Due to the all the laughing, goofing around, and picture taking.
All jokes aside,it actually takes a lot of skill to be able to put together a 6 layer cake. Being able to handle the fragile food with care when picking it up onto the plate or taking it off the pan, mixing the colors so they are just right and create the exact shade you desire, and even making the mix to come out perfect and making sure the cakes come out fully cooked but not burned. Unfortunately most of all these things mentioned happened the contrary to our expectations, making it even more of an adventure for us to to piece it together for the final result. Being the professional cooks that we are, the final piece came out better then intended.
Thanks to 9gag our baking skills sprouted out, and now we will be baking much much more.
The Master Piece!

Best Sport

NBA
For those who don't know what this is or stands for it is the National Basketball Association. So basically its (professional) basketball that has billions and billions of dollars mixed in with it.

The reason I'm talking about this is because basketball is my favorite sport and I feel that I haven't talked about any sports so far. My all-time favorite team is the Miami Heat which is made up of one of NBA's most talented man Lebron James. Even though many may argue against this because of his very high held personality, personality put aside they know that he is a miracle from the basketball gods. Besides James the heat's members are all great players I'm general. There are two players also standing out and they are Dwayne Wayde and Chris Bosh. 6, 3, 1 (jersey numbers) are the magic numbers of the team that pull the play together. The last two that back this strong trio up is Joel Anthony and Mario Chalmers. Without a doubt both these players are gradually improving game by game, this is starting show much clearer than before. Udonis Haslem is the 6ht player, which means he is number one for those are not starters. Many times when one of the five players has gotten hurt he plays and always does his best to satisfy the team and keep the score on their time. As I previously mentioned all the players who are on this team hit hard with no doubt when put to the test. The other players that I did not mention are Shane Battier, Norris Cole, Eddy Curry, Mickell Gladness, Terrel Harris, Juwan Howard, James Jones, Mike Miller, and Dexter Pittman.

This is a verse of Bow Wow’s song about basketball and I fully agree with the lyrics!

They're playing basketball
We love that basketball

[Lil' Bow Wow]
Yeah, now basketball is my favorite sport
I love the way they dribble up and down the court
I keep it so fresh on the microphone
I like no interruption when the game is on
I like slam dunk, to take me to the hoop
My favorite play is the alley-oop
I like the pick-and-roll
I like the give-and-go
In this basketball,let's go
