A shout out to my brothers and sisters on this day.
Even though we are all far apart and our family is scattered all over the world, know that I am proud to be a part of us.
To Ate Beth, Ate Lynn, Kuya Jo, Kuya Mel, Bry and Kiel,
Mahal ko kayo mga Kapatid.
Yup. Reese has Twitter – @RWitherspoon – I need to tell her how great she is on this show.
Hurry, how do I look?— Ty Martell (@denofmusic) April 10, 2017
I can’t stop watching #BigLittleLies. Reese Witherspoon is phenomenal. Does she have Twitter? Let me check. I want to let her know.

I forget some of the songs I have covered sometimes,
and I only get reminded of it when my iPod hits them on shuffle mode.
Also, I am in the process of changing some of my gears and recording gadgets.
So, I’ll probably start making more as soon as that gets settled.
Anyway.
Here’s a Flashback of a song I covered a long time ago.
In 2007, as a matter of fact.
And I was reading my original post, and I saw that it was still when my dad used to
listen to my stuff and read my site, before he passed away.
This one is called
“Every Time I Look At You”
by KISS
Voice and Guitars by Ty Martell
A Classic KISS song.
I put a 12 string effect on my guitar
and improvised a Skid Row-esque lead on the solo.
Lyrics start here
Besides doing a lot of drinking thinking,
I read the news from time to time.
Just to keep my self from going insane updated with current events.
And because I am bored I am a concerned member of society,
I would like to share with you some of these headlines that caught my attention.
News 1 ““ Man’s toddler son, wanders into strip club.
As I quote,
“The toddler told police that his father told him to stay in the car, and that if he left it, “monsters would eat him,” reports indicate.”
You see, this would have never happened if this guy read my website first.
Everyone knows when you have a toddler and you want to go to a nudie bar,
You lock the kid in the trunk!
Pfft .. Amateurs.
News 2 ““ 8 hospitalized after pepper spray goes off in school bus.
My God! Kids nowadays would do anything to get out of school eh?
In my day, we just go to school to meet, influence other students, then escape over the walls.
Then run like there’s no tomorrow.
Ahh. Good times.. good times.
News 3 (Technology) ““ Cell phone may really cause Brain Cancer.
They just wont let this issue die!
First they say they do cause cancer, then they say it doesn’t.
Now they say it does again.
What the hell?
Let me tell you the truth.
Trust me on this one, because I am an Engineer, a Doctor and a Therapist of Gynecology.
The only thing cell phones cause on humans is a condition I like to call “Loudus Importantus”.
Long exposures to cell phone ultra rays causes a person to think of himself as “Very Important”
Which in effect makes them talk very loud.
Because you know,
nothing says “I am very important” better than talking about your brother’s testicular operation, loudly on your cell phone.
News 4 (Religion) ““ New Judas Gospels found
Tsk Tsk Tsk,
Judas, Judas Judas.
Do you have to ride along with the popularity of the Da Vinci Code?
Timely releasing your writings?
Tacky, tacky, tacky.
Shame, shame, shame.
News 5 (Lifestyle) ““ Pickup lines for Women
Okay, these are effective pick up lines for women, trying to make the first move.
Ladies, the only line that works for us men is “Hi!”
End of story.
Oh and “I’m drunk.”
—-
Okay, I better stop there.
I think that’s enough current events for now.
I still have a lot to tell you but,
you know what they say,
“There are only two kinds of people,
those who finish what they start
and so on…”
It has been more than a month since I took my parental leave.
While Tracy is the one working,
And I get to stay home and take care of Tyler.
Here’s what I have learned.
1.) Diapers can hold gallons of pee.
2.) When changing baby, and he pees,
it is not necessary to freak out and scream.
3.) The baby also needs to be bathed sometimes.
4.) If bathing baby, don’t forget to bring toys.
Bring one for the baby too.
5.) If in bathtub, it is not necessary to turn on the shower
and pretend you’re in a submarine that has just been hit.
6.) When babies get cold, they would most likely pee. Prepare yourself.
7.) Remember lesson number 2.
8.) Eventually, baby has to be fed.
9.) Just because you can eat a meal in 2 minutes,
that does not mean the baby can too.
10.) If Tracy says, “put this in the oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees”,
does not calculate to 30 minutes at 700 degrees.
11.) Order Pizza before wife get’s home.
12.) Once baby is asleep,
the dog will bark at everything that moves outside your house.
13.) If there’s anything you want to do while baby is asleep,
forget it, he will wake up as soon as you think about it.
14.) Once baby is asleep, all the noise in your house turns into
a 5000 watt mega amplifier, with tweeters.
15.) Baby can wake himself up by farting.
I swear it’s not me.
16.) Everything in the world gets synchronized once baby is asleep.
The phone would ring, somebody at the door, you have to sneeze,
or an itch in your throat.
And there’s so much more, I just can’t remember them all.
I’ll post them sometime when I recall them.
All these I learned, and it has only been a month.
I need some sleep.
Today was the first time I saw you.
Your mother and I could not wait to get to the clinic.
We both had to get off work early.
(Don’t worry, we did not get in trouble, everybody there knows about you).
I was very nervous when we got to the clinic.
I brought along my Camera, and your grandma’s video cam.
I wanted to remember this day. I’ll show you the pictures when you grow up.
Then this nice lady came in the room and turned on that big machine thing.
It was something used to see if you were doing fine so far.
Your Mother has been carrying you for almost 14 weeks now.
We just wanted to be sure you are okay and everything else around you.
Must be very quiet in there huh? Except when your Mommy’s tummy growls.
Those were the loud bubble noises you must have heard.
Then you stretched. I saw your two little legs.
I think you showed me how you were going to kick that soccer ball huh?
Then you stretched your arm. I saw your tiny little fingers.
You gave me a quick thumbs up. I know you did, Your mother and the nurse lady saw it too.
And we all had a good laugh.
Your Mom’s eyes were watery. I was still staring at you.
My mouth wide open. Because I was so amazed of how beautiful and peaceful you are in there.
I tried to speak, but I couldn’t.
All I remember saying was “I think I need to sit down.”
And they all had a good laugh.
Well, I guess this is it for now.
It was very nice and exciting to see you.
We will still check up on you when we get to visit the Doctor.
You just sit there and do your stuff okay?
Play basketball or something. Play air guitar. Absorb all the vitamins your Mother is taking.
Count your fingers. You’ll need them when you learn math. Or Subnetting.
I’ll see you soon. We got 22 more weeks to go.
<------- This is you!!! At 14 Weeks.
