T. N. T.
(Tyler's New Thingies)
Okay, okay.
This has been on my mind for quite some time now,
but I just never got around to it.
Blame it on absent-mindedness, laziness,
procrastination or even absent-mindedness.
But before you do,
in my defense,
I spent a lot of time, pondering on the philosophy of
Tyler's DVD videos.
(You know, just trying to exercise my dormant little mind.)
Like,
From Toy Story 2,
Why is it that Woody never remembers about his popularity in the old days?
Was it because he is currently being loved by his owner, Andy?
Jesse and Stinky Pete surely remember their past,
but they currently have no owners, so maybe that allows them to think back?
How come Buzz Lightyear couldn't accept that he was a toy from the first movie?
Was it because he was woken up by Woody, before he felt Andy's love and care?
Just like the way Buzz has woken up the 2nd Buzz Lightyear in part 2?
Am I the only one concerned about this kid, Andy,
having Bo Peep and Barbie dolls in his room?
His sister surely is too young to handle these girly toys.
And don't you think these kid's cartoons have something against parents?
Haven't you noticed how in these movies,
there is always an issue with regards to parents?
Andy has no Dad.
Nemo's Mom got slaughtered by a Barracuda.
Mufasa, Simba's dad, died from a stampede.
Tarzan's folks died too, devoured by a cheetah.
And Bambi's mom died from bullet wounds.
Am I the only one concerned about this disturbing trend?
So anyways,
What was I saying?
Oh yeah!
Tyler's New Thingies!
T. N. T.
Sorry, I got sidetracked there.
See what I mean?
See how much time I waste, analyzing stuff like these?
As I was saying,
My plan for this
T.N.T.
Every once in a while,
hopefully a couple of times a month,
I would write down new things that Tyler does. Or say.
The kid is talking non stop, and starting to make sense.
And it's such an exciting feeling when we get to decipher what he is trying to say.
I wanted to write those down, so I can look back here and remember
how crazy this has been.
He says a bunch of words now,
Like, Hi Daddy!,
(or mostly No! Daddy.)
Hi,
Bye,
and Nite-nite.
He can count from 1 to 15.
But pronounces "seven" as "siete".
(got some Spanish in him too)
Nemo is "Meemo"
Dory is "Dowee"
Woody is "Wooey"
And Buzz is "Buhhhh"
So anyway,
He also imitates some scenes from his movies.
Like, from Toy Story 2,
When Woody tries to save Wheezy from being sold at the Yard sale,
and tries to think on how to do it?
Tyler can do that flawlessly.
And whenever Buzz Lightyear shouts,
"To infinity.....and Beyond"
He pronounces
"Beyond" as
"iyot".
Which, actually is a word in the Philippines.
And I know, some of my Filipino friends who are reading this
are probably laughing now,
So, for the sake of our non-Filipino friends,
I will continue and say what that word meant.
See, the Philippines has more than 80 local dialects.
And in one of them,
"iyot" means....
"__CK"
Okay....wait..
maybe I can't say it.
Oh Well,
I'll just assume you guys know it by now.
I gave you 50% of the word already.
So anyway,
Stay tuned for more
T.N.T. 's next time.
But for now,
here are some cool links.

I don't get it.
So I was at the Doctors yesterday for my back,
and since I was a new patient,
I had to fill out a lot of forms.
You know, just so they know a bit about my medical record.
And in one of the questions regarding my health history,
I was asked to indicate if I:
#1 -- Smoke.
If yes, how often.
#2 -- Consume Alcohol.
If yes, how often.
and
#3 -- Did take any illegal drugs or medications.
So my answer was,
#1 -- No.
and for #2 -- No.
So the doctor sees and reads it,
and mentions to me that I have no serious medical history.
Plus I don't smoke and drink.
Then he said,
"That's quite unfair."
So, I chuckled a little bit.
But, in all honesty,
I have no clue what he meant by it.
Unfair?
Unfair to whom?
Did it mean that,
It was unfair to me that I do not partake in any bad habits?
And I don't know how much I am missing by not consuming these substances.
Or was it unfair for other people who smoke and drink,
for they are addicted to the enjoyment of destroying their health?
See, these things are what I ponder about when it's late at night
and I couldn't sleep.
Or it's what keeps me from admitting myself to a mental institution.
Oh, and the number 3 question on that form?
If I ever did any drugs?
The answer is No.
Because I get the same effect,
just by standing up very quickly.
I know it's late but,
Happy New Year To All!
Now, it's not that I have been slacking off with this website,
and it's also not that I am running out of ideas,
and it's not like you really care.
I mean, why couldn't a guy,
who runs a crappy website,
who doesn't have a job,
and stays home all day,
update a simple freakin' site?
Well, this time,
I have a reason.
And it's legit.
See, during the holidays,
I was transferring our home videos,
to VHS tapes.
I just couldn't fool anybody
to buy me a DVD recorder as a gift for Christmas,
but that's not important right now.
Anyway,
The video contained most of Tyler,
when we were still in Canada,
his first steps,
him with me,
him with his Mom,
him with his Grandmother,
him with his cousins,
his Christening,
our trip to the States,
our "move" to the States,
his first Birthday,
his Halloween costume,
his first mini pool,
his toys,
and then his new Christmas toys.
Then I realized,
Even though I spend so much time with him,
even though I was always with him.
It felt like it wasn't enough.
I know it's impossible,
but I should try harder to catch up.
So, if you see no updates on this site for a while,
I am out there doing my "real job".
Either pretending to be Buzz Lightyear,
or memorizing each and every
Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks movie lines.
Because, you know,
Elmo and the Sesame Street gang is so 2004.
That's old news!
May this New Year be joyous to all.
on a side note:
As the Death Toll in SouthEast Asia Tsunami tragedy increases,
Let us offer a prayer for the victims and their families.
"Eternal rest, grant unto them, Oh Lord.
And let your Perpetual Light shine upon them."
