Okay, so I seldom watch American Idol because most of the time, my favorites go home early. This season, one of my favorites is Megan Joy Corkey. I'm into blues and jazz songs and Norah Jones is one of my favorite singers. I'm always looking for artists that can compare with Norah Jones' vocals. In fact, some of my past American Idol favorites were kinda bluesy artists.
Megan Joy has become a favorite of mine because I really like her edgy, jazzy, bluesy voice. It's like hearing Norah Jones but with a bit of an edge. I actually like all of the songs she does even when I don't recognize their lyrics because for me, it's no longer the song of the artist but Megan's song. Even rockin' robin which apparently, is a children's song, I actually liked.
Sadly, I don't think she would be a winner but I do hope that she gets to make some records. If her album has that music style of hers, then I'd definitely buy it. Heck, I won't even care if she does all children songs but she should do it in that bluesy voice of hers and it would definitely sell.

70% off on Van Insurance in the UK
I know I've previously mentioned how insurance plays a big part in big economies such as Europe and the UK. Whether it's health insurance or auto insurance, you can bet that most households has one. In the Philippines, I'm sure that not even half of the middle income families have their own health insurance (aside from Philhealth).
Anyways, since insurance plays a big role, there are hundreds of insurance companies in the UK. I guess that's why autonetinsurance.co.uk can afford to give up to 70% off on their van insurance. Autonetinsurance is an insurance broker, mind you, and not an insurer. They can afford to give low prices on their Van Insurance Quote because they are affiliated with 40 of UK's leading insurance providers and they price check these insurers daily to give their costumers the best possible price on their insurance. Plus, they also offer a guarantee wherein if you find a cheaper price, you can get a refund. Not bad. I have yet to see an insurance broker in the Philippines who can make that claim or offer.
If you're wondering why there's a separate van insurance when it should be incorporated in a car insurance, it's because van insurance is for commercial vans in the UK and is required if you want to drive a commercial van in the highways of UK or member EU nations.

Samsung S8300 to land in Philippine shores in April?
So I'm itching for a new mobile phone and though I'm excite about the Samsung Omnia HD, it won't be released until June so what's the next best thing? The Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra Touch. The Samsung Tocco Ultra sports the same AMOLED screen technology as the Omnia plus it has a capacitive touchscreen so I'm expecting a more fluid interface compared with the Samsung F480.
According to Samsung Tocco Ultra review, this device seems promising enough. Aside from its beautiful design, 8 megapixel camera, I'm really excited about the video quality. I don't normally watch videos on my mobile phone but I've been downloading some HD videos of my favorite American shows and I'm pretty excited to see what that looks like on the Samsung S8300. I'm expecting the Price of the Samsung Tocco Ultra to be somewhere between Php21,000-Php25,000.
