We saw two movies this weekend.

Harry Pothead, oops Potter, (my friend Nerisse would kill me.) which is an excellent movie.
And the other one we saw was something about a boy and his ring.
Everybody is after this ring with funky writings on it.
And the boy keeps getting stabbed or something.

Anyway...
it was one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen.
I totally can't wait for the continuation.

Another thing I would like to say though.
Just to keep the records straight.
I did not get my dog's name from that Pottyhead movie..(sorry again Nerisse).
I did not know that Harry Potter's broom's name was Nimbus 2000.
My dog's name is Nimbus, and I thought of it because he looked like a thick cloud.
It was a toss between Cumulus or Nimbus.

Though now..
he responds to his new name....

NIMBUS NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
(followed by a Filipino swear word.) ..which Tracy can fluently pronounce.

During our lunch break at work yesterday,
two good friends, Natalie and Jason, pointed out this story in the papers
of a guy who was in a foreign country, dived into a shallow pool,
broke his neck and spine, couldn't come home because they can't give him a bed in a hospital.

Also, Tracy told me a patient that she used to take care of.
Dived into a lake or something, too shallow, hit his head
broke his spine, paralyzed from the waist down.

Can you just imagine?

I couldn't help it.
I had to share my story.

I too dived into a shallow pool back home in the Philippines.
In school back in '91
Hit my head, at the bottom floor, straight down.
All I felt was I bounced, chipped my two front teeth,
bit my tongue and head painfully hurting.

I was conscious though. I knew what was happening around me.
I did not faint nor collapsed. I just got out of the pool, with a bit of blood in my mouth.
Went straight to the showers, checking my head if it cracked or something.
Nope.
My mother was right.
This proved what she said..
I have a very hard head.

I am still doin' fine though.
After 11 years, all I have are these unbearable headaches that I have been accustomed to having.

All I wanted to say was,
I am so very grateful.
To God and his glory, that I am still alive to this day.

Still able to play guitar, play music, appreciate the harmony.
Still able to laugh, cry and feel.
Bitch about work and the traffic.
Complain about everything.
Spending time with my nieces.
My brother and I admiring cars. Checkin' out the ladies.
Sleep in a bed.
Watch sports on TV.
Drive my car.
Walk everywhere.
(Screw that!) Drive everywhere.
Meet new people.
Play in the snow.
Buy more RAM.
Learn Linux.
Learn Windows XP.
Buy more RAM.
~~Surf Porn~~
Drink wine.
Eat my favorite foods.
Especially Tracy's cooking.
Enjoy her company.
Laugh at her jokes.
Love her with all my heart.
And the opportunity to have kids of my own.

I say these because,
I always told myself I hate my life, and always tried to fix it.
I always said I never wanted to be born if I knew this was going to be a cruel world.
But now I realized, there has to be some purpose. Or a reason why I am still here....

and that reason, I think,
is to annoy everybody else. ;-)

You know how sometimes you have issues with your families?
Oh yeah! You know what I mean.

You always end up fixing everybody's troubles with everybody,
you can never live your life the way you want,
and you always have to live it how they want you to live.

Christmas, Birthdays, Holidays.
Always the same thing.
Something or someone will always piss you off. There is always one in the crowd.

But you know what is even worse?
People who tries to mind your families' business.
Not only that, they mind your own freakin' business too!!

They always tell you...
Oh I just care and I treat you guys as family.

Hahahahhahaha!!!
You are fuckin' funny!!

I mean, even me and my brother don't even get on each other's business
And here you are, shovin' your gossip-filled face on us?

I get pissed DAMMNNITT!!!!

You know, the more people I know,
the more I like my dog.

Come here Nimbus!!
Stop humping my leg!

It's my Mother's Birthday today.

Oh man! I have no gift.

I am in trrooouubbllleeeee!!!

How about I tell her,
I'll be a good son this time?
Nnaahhh, tried that already...didn't work.

Oh well.
I guess I won't be the favorite son this time...(again).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER!!

I better call my Dad. Hehehhee.

My best wishes to everyone this new year.
I hope you all had a nice New Year's eve.

Me?
Holy glutton in a shirt!

I ate so much meat, I think I am going to change my name to "Mad Cow".
Which made me think about everybody's number one New Year's resolution....

Lose Weight - Eat less!
Okay. I must admit. It did cross my mind.
Though, "Live and Enjoy life" still tops my list.

.... and try not to be pessimistic (It does not work!).

-Less hate...more understanding.
-Try to live actively.
-Try to play guitar like no one is watching.
-To sing like no one is listening.
-And be more grateful for what I have ..(and for what I will get..)

Also..
I would like to thank my friends who have invited me to spend time with them New Year's eve.
Though I could only be wasted and be embarrassed in one place,
I still thank you for the invitation.
That means I have started the Year blessed with friends who care.

Manigong Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat!
