T.N.T. (Tyler's new thingies)

This will be a short one,
but I just have to write it down.

The other night,
I was getting Tyler ready for bed.
He usually tries to run away from me
and attempts to squeeze in a last minute playtime.

But when I finally got him settled down,
I put on his pajamas,
and looked up at me and said,

"Thank you, Daddy."

I wish I could explain how it feels when your heart melts.

Oh and then that following day,
He also told his mother,
"Thank you, Momma."

Yes.
All is right in the universe.

Yes.
That is the reason why I haven't updated this
pathetic waste of space I call a website.

Well, besides doing my Parental duties and annoying my lovely wife,
I spend a lot of time, reminiscing about my childhood favourite anime.

VOLTES V.

I watch the video,
I have it as my screen wallpaper,
I play it's music,
even desperately sing the Japanese version of the songs.

Thank you so much to Darwin and his family for sending this to me.

Thanks also to Anthony.
It was really great to see you again, my friend.
After 11 long years.

These past few weeks have been really great.
I have gotten in touch with so many friends, it's just overwhelming.

Makes you realize,
that your greatest wealth,
are the ones who call you "friend."

New Song added.

Cliffs Of Dover

You know, I was thinking.
(It's something I do when things are slow.)
How come no matter how much I try,
I can't play like these guitar gods and legendary musicians.

Then I came to an "epiphany".
(Okay not really. I just wanted to use the word epiphany.)
I think that the reason I can't play like these guys is that,
most of them have more than six fingers on their left hand.

I only have five,
And I can't even bend my ring finger.

Anyway,
here's my pathetic attempt
on this classic guitar tune by Eric Johnson.

I hope you like it.
Check it out under Chorus.

I haven't updated this site since the Pope died,
out of reverence and respect.

I have to postpone my rants in here,
in accordance to his funeral.
Just like how Prince Charles delayed his marriage to his horse.
Oops! Did I say Horse?
I meant his "Noble Steed."

So anyway,
these past few weeks,
there are a couple of things that I have just recently learned.
And I realized all of these,
after I heard one of Jeff Foxworthy's jokes, saying,
"You never know that you are already a part of a group."

It's just one of those things that,
you thought you were the only one who thinks, acts and does things a certain way,
then you realize, you are not alone.

Just like whenever Tracy and I, think about how hard it is being a parent,
we hear stories about other parents,
with even worse experiences.

Like when we bought a house,
I never knew that there was an unspoken competition around your neighborhood
about who has the most manicured front lawn.
I didn't even know we were entered in this contest without my full knowledge.
I am still trying to figure out how come no one told me
that when you buy a house,
you are bound to do yardwork 200 times a week,
for eternity.

I also found out that I was not the only parent
who could recite the animated movie,
"The Incredibles".

I just found out that "Bambi" was a boy,
"Blue" from Blue's Clues was a girl,
And "Spongebob" is,
well, I am still trying to figure that one out.

As I undergo my back therapy,
I found out that I have this condition called "Transitional Vertebrae".
Which only occurs in only 6% of the population.
Either I belong to a group of unique people, or a group of freaks.
I prefer the latter.
Sounds more fun.

And lastly, I found out,
that I belong to a group that is "never happy".
The "Never Happy Group".
You know, the ones who want everything.
The ones who wishes to have everything.

I have always wished for a better everything.
If I'm not wishing for a "better" everything,
It's wishing for a lot "more" of everything.

I wished for more guitars.
Better ones.
Or wished not to suck at it.

A bigger TV.
A home theater stereo.
Screw that!
I want a louder stereo.

A bigger garage.
A better car.
Screw that!
I want a faster car.

I want to travel.
To see new places.
Screw that!
I am lazy.
I want to sit on a more comfortable couch.
I want a robot to fetch me a drink.
A remote control that I can use with my brain.
While watching my bigger TV.

I want a gnome for entertainment.
After it cleans the house.
Maybe a little pet too.
Screw that!
I want a big pet.
Like a Llama.
Or an Ostrich.
Or a Horse.
Wait!
I can't have a horse!
She's marrying Prince Charles, remember?
(I kid! I kid!)

In conclusion,
with all the stuff I wish for and want to have.
I think I can run as president of the "Never Happy Group."
Where I will implement no rules.
Members can announce their want for everything.
Can wish for everything.
And can complain about everything they don't have.

I guess the only way you can renounce your membership,
is when you realize,
you just can't.

Okay FOX NEWS!
Announcing that the POPE has died,
is not a funny April Fools!

NOT FUNNY!!
NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!

Didn't you declare Bush won the presidency in 2000,
and then every other Networks believed you?

Shheessshh!!!

Anyways,
It was my Brother who told me the news about the Pope.
He watches FOX,
well, because that's where "The Simpsons" are.

So, we were both glued to the TV,
waiting for an official answer from the Vatican.

I must admit,
we were very worried.

Not only because as Christians,
The Pope is our leader,
but also because we heard about
the Prophecies of SAINT MALACHY.

Here's an article about it. ----> Papal Prophecies

And another one. ----> The Last Pope

See, my friends,
with all the disasters we are witnessing these days.
Earthquakes, Floods, Tsunamis, Violent Storms,
Increased Terrorism, War, Famine, and Hatred,

there is only one thing that is certain.....

Jesus is coming back!
So quick!!
Everybody look busy!

My April fools.

So I was talking to some old friends yesterday,
and since I haven't seen them in so long,
I asked how everybody was.

Then one of them told me,

"Hey, Ty, they were talking about you the other day,
and they were making fun of you."

I said, "About what?"

"Well", my friend said.
"They were wondering if your current "hairstyle", is just the new fashion,
or you are so losing your hair."

I answered,
"Well, it's nice to know that they also wonder how I was doing,
instead of discerning my appearance."

For those of you who don't know,
We Filipinos have a wicked obsession about appearances.
Ours, and most importantly, others.

We are cleverly quick in noticing, how much weight people gain,
how thin can people be, how much acne you have on your face,
how many distracting moles you have, the shape of your nose,
how big your house is, how much money you make, your new shirt,
your shiny shoes, what you drive, and how you smell.

That's just how we are.

Screw your feelings!
I don't like the way you look.
I will point at you and laugh.
Then I will spread rumours about you,
on how much you are not liked.
Not by me, but a friend of a friend who knows you.

So anyways, back to my story.
My friend answered back,
"Aww come on Ty!
You know we're just joking."

I said,
"Oh don't worry about it.
I understand.
Ever since the "Chemo", it never really grew back."

"Chemo? What Chemo?", my friend asked.

I said,
"Hey, I gotta run, I'll talk to you guys later!
Take care of yourselves okay!
Bye!"

HAhahahaaaa!!!!!!
See!! It's April Fools.
Let them figure that out for a bit.

I know, I know.
That wasn't funny.

I was either gonna go with that or,

"My therapist says,
Hair Loss is the third stage of syphilis."

Anyhoo,
