If you are a Filipino and have a talent in singing, you might want to audition in the Filipino Idol.

Filipino Idol is similar to the famous “American Idol” competition, only it is in a smaller scale limited to Filipinos. Like the American Idol, participants of Filipino Idol battle out to become the one and only “idol”.

So if you have what it takes to join this event, simply contact the organizers (details below) and sign up. Let them know you found them via JCRegister.com.

Summit Avenue at 815AM

One lane is closed on both directions on Summit Avenue, Jersey City causing a slow-moving traffic during the morning rush hour. Cones were lined up from Van Reipen Avenue to Five Corners (Newark Avenue).

A sign on one of the truck says “Fiber-Optic” so I’m guessing it’s a FiOS installation. I might be wrong, though, so if you have details, feel free to comment.

During a red light, I rolled down my window and asked one of the workers how long it’s going to take. He said they might be finished at 5ish-6ish this afternoon. Hopefully sooner than that!

Rant: Can’t they do it at night?

UPDATE and more photos if you read the rest…
