It's cooked!
In the coming days, I have this feeling I’ll be out working late that would make travel during the holidays seems like an overdue Christmas wish or an empty stocking. But regardless how Christmas might turn out to be, I am glad things are better than before and life has never been this good.
And when you have a new thing around, like the latest David Cook album, it definitely feels like New Year already 
American Idol David Cook released his self-titled debut album last November 18th. Cook co-wrote 9 songs and songwriters Chris Cornell, Brian Howes and Cathy Dennis contributed as well. His first single, Light On, was co-written by Chris Cornell, lead singer and songwriter for Soundgarden and Audioslave and producer/songwriter Brian Howes. Cook’s album is currently ranked at #4 in Amazon sales, and about burst the charts in the coming weeks. I’m glad there’s Paypal today.
While brother has been busy buying stuff like a giant Whirlpool, Danze faucets and a vacuum cleaner (hmm…for the cats?), I settle for a more tamed line-up. The latest David Cook album, a new dress/suit (ehem) and a laptop (coughs) make up my Christmas wish list.
And New Year has a list to take care of its own. Like the David Cook Manila concert they say in January.
Honestly, I have been out of the Cookie loop for quite some time. I have been busy minding the problems of the universe I couldn’t even find time to relax and stuff my ears with David Cook songs like “The Truth” and “Always Be My Baby” nor listen to the radio. We were on our way to Quezon City yesterday to buy acne products at Godiva Quezon Avenue when Kleng-Kleng broke the news of David Cook holding his first non-US concert next year. David Cook is coming to Manila!!!
Talks about this year’s American Idol winner and his first Philippine concert spread like wildfire over the internet and caught every Filipino Cookie fan in a frenzy. The news first leaked from his recent interview over Canadian radio Chum FM. David Cook’s concert was tentatively scheduled on January 27, 2009.
Now we’ve got something to look forward to. This is going to be bigger than Daughtry.
The news has been out lately. David Cook has been spotted with American Idol Season Two finalist, Kimberly Clark at the recent Dodgers game where the latter sang the National Anthem.
Cook has been dishing on his crush on Caldwell on live television. He invited her out to dinner before thousands of viewers. Larry King Live and LIVE with Regis and Kelly even had a smitten David Cook in their episodes. Late last month, paparazzis caught them together at a steakhouse.
Blonde hottie Caldwell landed 7th in American Idol Season Two Finals and was a 5-time Star Search winner. She is currently on the cover of Supermodels Unlimited May/June 2008 issue. Sheer beauty and talent got Cook hooked.
The blossoming love affair has not yet been sealed with air tools as nothing is really written on stone. Only time will tell when, where and how the story will unfold. In the meantime, let the two have their good times together while jealous fans go nuts about it. You see, everyone wants to be around David Cook these days.
