The World Needs More Men Like Chris Medina

Not a fan of American Idol and I don't know who this Chris Medina is until I heard his single on the radio yesterday. Turns out that Chris is an aspiring singer, who is engaged with his girlfriend, Juliana in 2007. They had planned to wed two years after getting engaged, but shortly before they could walk down the aisle, Juliana suffered a brain injury in a tragic car accident, leaving her almost paralyzed and severely brain damaged. Some guys will walk away since they have no obligations to take care of the girl (they are not married, remember?). But rather than doing that, Chris stay on. As he puts in his interview on American Idol, "What kind of guy would I be if I walked out when she needed me the most?" Well Chris may not have won the singing competition (he didn't even make it to the Top 24), but he has won my support. Below is the video of his American Idol audition as well as the lyrics of his single. If only the world have more men like Chris.

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
I'm forever keeping my angel close

Too Smart For Her Own Good

Proof that intelligence cannot be measured by how many certificates you have...

A SINGAPOREAN lost RM240,000 (S$100,290) at a casino when she tried to win back the RM500 she had previously lost, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The woman, who is a professional with a double master's degree, said she tried to win the money back by using all her savings as well as borrowing from others.

She is now looking for someone to give her a loan to pay off her debts as she does not dare disclose it to her family.

'I am worried that my husband may divorce me if he finds out,' she said
