What were your favorite cartoons when you were a child?

Here are some of my favorite cartoons when I was young. They certainly bring back many wonderful memories:

• Rainbow Brite
• Smurfs
• Shirt Tales
  
• Care Bears
• Scooby Doo
• The Little Pony
• Denver the Last Dinosaur
  
• Super Friends
• He Man
• She-Ra
  
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• Voltes V
• Daimos
  
• Voltron
  
• Transformers

It's amazing that some of my favorite cartoons back then are now my son's favorite cartoons as well. I would love to hear yours.

Megan Corkrey, A.I. Wild Card

American Idol revealed the Wild Cards tonight. I'm very happy that my favorite, Megan Corkrey is one of them. I'm rooting for her.

updated: March 7, 2009 (9:16 a.m.):
I watched A.I. last night and I was so thrilled when Paula Simon announced that Megan made it to the Top 12. Megan sang "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree". It's the first time I've heard of this song but I loved her performance.

Towards the end of the show, I was really surprised when the judges announced that this year, there will be a Top 13. Anoop Desai was the lucky person who filled this slot.

Megan Corkrey, My A.I. Favorite

I'm sad that my American Idol favorite, Megan Corkrey didn't get a slot for the top 12. She caught my interest when she auditioned in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was her birthday that day and she sang "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man". Last February 25, she sang the song "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae. I love how she sang that song but she just didn't earn enough votes to keep her in the competition. Megan is young, gorgeous, talented and so full of life. I'm really sad to see her go but I hope that many doors of opportunity will open for her.

Yohanism #29

Yohan and I were watching an episode on Animal Planet featuring lions and their preys. Lions are one of the top predators in the food chain but they have their share of ups and downs. The program we were watching showed a small family of lions with very young cubs. A large group of buffalos ventured their way and began attacking the cubs. I hate seeing poor defenseless animals getting hurt.

Me: "Yohan, give me the remote. I can't watch this part."

Yohan: "Don't worry mom. I'll just cover your eyes with my hand."

He did cover my eyes and I waited for that part to be over.

I'm happy to say that all the cubs survived that attack. The adult lions decided to move their cubs to a safer place.

Anime: Yesterday and Today

Did you know that the word Anime is a Japanese shortened term for Animation? I often hear the word Anime referring to Japanese cartoons or characters. I realized that I have already been exposed to Anime when I was a young girl. I remember how my brother and I were so hooked on watching Voltes V in the early 80s. Voltes V was dubbed in English when it was shown in the Philippines. It was later on dubbed in Tagalog. Voltes V stopped airing a long time ago but it has remained alive in the hearts of fans.

Today young children have many favorite anime characters like Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Card Captors, Hamtaro and Bakugan. Anime has become so popular that you can now see them everywhere. You can watch Anime on TV and DVD. There are also many Anime magazines, toys and video games available in the market.

If you are into Anime, you can meet other Anime enthusiasts through Anime Chat. The site is a perfect place for Anime Lovers to converge and chat. Meet new and interesting friends. You can meet interesting people who share the same passion for Anime. Share your favorite Anime characters, magazines, programs, toys and more.

Crossing My Fingers for David Cook

I was glued to the television several minutes ago watching the much anticipated American Idol finals. I've always been rooting for David Cook. I love his voice and he sings every song with so much emotion. I easily get move when he sings. I like the way he adds something new and extraordinary to many songs.

I realized that David Archuleta's has many fans and after earlier's performance, it seems he has the big advantage. I'm still crossing my fingers for David Cook. Win or lose, I'm sure he will soar into a great recording artist.
