ADLIB

Okay, that's it for now.

I have redesigned the Photos section.
I added a whole lot of stuff, and switched the php gallery to flash.

Thanks to Hotscripts.com and
Slooz for the files.

Plus, I embedded the gallery inside the frame.
I kinda didn't like the pop-up gallery window thing.
So, anyway, check them out.

I'll try to add some more next time.
Now, I go to sleep.

And as my son would say,

nayt-nayt.

The Aftermath.

Thank God,
there was no damage on our side of the hurricane turmoil.

Though we had winds in excess of 60 - 75 Miles per hour.
Quite scary, really.

First, I thought 60 miles an hour isn't really that bad,
but then Tracy gave me this example,

Imagine when your car is going 60 Miles per hour,
and you stick your hand out the window,
Isn't it hard to control the blowing wind?

Now this Hurricane had a power of greater than 140 Mph.
Sustained.

Wow,
Isn't that just freaky?

Well, anyways,
Praise God that we were all safe,
and our sympathies to those who perished and were greatly affected.

Thanks to all our friends who called and emailed us,
wondering how we're doing.

Now, I need to go back and work on the "Photos" section of this site.

As for you,
Here are some cool links.

Storm update!

We've got,
Hurricane warnings,
Tornado warnings,
Severe wind gust warnings,
Severe flood warnings,
and involuntary evacuation advisories.

And Hurricane Charley has been upgraded from a "Category 3",
to a "Category 4", within a matter of minutes.

Not cool!

I better go through my evacuation check list one more time.

Let's see,
Baby food, (check)
Non perishable foods, (check)
Canned goods, (check)
Bottled water, (check)
Important documents, (check)
Extra clothes and blankets, (check).

Okay, that's it for now.
Going to watch some more news updates.

Oops!, better wear some decent pants.

As of 11 am today (I think),
The whole State of Florida is in a State of Emergency.

Hurricane Bonnie and Charley is expected to hit within the next 2 days.
There are warnings everywhere,
and tips on how to survive if worse comes to worse.

Alright! Our first Florida hurricane.
How bad could this be?

I grew up in the Philippines,
where dealing with storms is a way of life.
And Tracy grew up in the South,
where tornadoes flattens towns once a month.

I am sure, we can handle this.

Yeah, that's how I felt earlier today.
But they show the warning messages on TV, every five minutes,
and consistently show footages of previous damaging storms.
Not to mention, evacuation commenced in the Florida keys,
made us think twice about this.

Where are we gonna go?
What are we gonna do?
Do we have enough supplies?
Do the cars have enough gas?
How am I gonna watch the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics?

See, my worries are a lot different now.
Now that I have a family of my own.

Because when I was a kid in the Philippines,
and there's a signal no. 3 Storm,
all I was worried about was,

"I hope I still get to play my Atari 2600."

~~E = MC~~² ----> E = MP³

I removed both "WMA" and "RA" formats for the songs.
I don't see the point of keeping them anymore.
They are just taking up space.

Plus, I believe most Audio softwares are capable of playing MP3's anyway.
I just put the other two formats for the dial-up users, since they are smaller.
And I feel bad for them to have to wait.

But then I figured,
being a dial-up user is being used to waiting anyway.
(Oh man, I know one friend who is on dial-up, and I 'm sure I'm gonna hear it now.)

But hey!
If I can wait hours to download other files on dial up,
( ie... software patches, pdf forms, norp .. etc)
I can wait for one mp3 file.

So anyway,
if anyone prefers the songs in the other two formats,
let me know and I'll post it back.
(Yeah, like anybody reads and listens to this crap.)

But, I know everyone likes to waste some time,
so here are some cool links.

Two More Songs

Holy Son of a Biscuit Eater!
2 songs?

How did you manage that?
Having a 22 Month old and all.

Well, the 22 Month old took a 2 hour nap.
That's how.

First is,
Marian's Dance, by Steve Fairclough,
And second is,
Song for George, by Eric Johnson.

Eric Johnson, as you know, is one of my favorite guitar players.
And I have always wanted to record one of his intricate, melodic tunes in here,
but they are all just too hard.
Well, not to mention they all suck when I play them.

So, I called Mr. Johnson on his phone to ask him.

I said,
"Hey Eric, why wouldn't you write a piece that'll be easy to play
and give your admirers a break and be able to play at least one of your songs.
Come on man! You're killing us!"

He said,
"Who are you and how did you get this number?"

Okay, okay,
I was just dreaming.

But anyway,
I hope you like it, and if you hear any mistakes,
it's just all in your head.

Check them out under "Chorus".

Oh, and on a side note,
I think that's it for acoustic sounds for a while.
Time to re-kindle my romance with "Delilah."
(Yes, I named my electric guitar, "Delilah". You stay out of this!)

Another Song Added!

A special request from my cousin Joie.

"More Than Words"
by Extreme.

Here's my attempt on that classic song.
Just don't pay any attention to the mistakes.

Check it out under "Chorus".

Hope you like it.

Happy Birthday to my cousin Joie!

I haven't finished your song request yet.
I promise I'll finish it soon,
I have just gotten busy these past few days.

It all started when,
I sprained my wrist cooking dinner in the microwave the other night.
So I went to Walmart to get one of those ace wrap brace,
but I got stuck at the blood pressure machine right by the pharmacy,
so I just decided to go to the beach and take a relaxing walk,
but I think I caught a nasty cold while I was there.

I sneezed very loud and I think I bruised my lungs.
I also coughed three times in succession.
Though I have no other symptoms,
I thought I better take a nap just in case.

And last night, I thought of finishing your song,
as I was laying in my bed, looking up at the stars,
thinking, "Where the hell is my ceiling"?

Okay okay!!
I was just too lazy!
I'm sorry.

I'll do it sometime soon.

Happy Birthday again,
and hope you have a good one.

We love you very much!
