Music Throwback Thursday
I made this cover years ago, but it really needed a female voice.
It just so happens that I was talking to Lotus, a very good friend of mine.
We were in the same class back in the 6th grade.
I had her provide the voice on this one about a couple of years ago
and I really like the way it turned out.
So check out our cover of an old Filipino classic,
“Friend of mine” by Odette Quesada.
Lotus on the voice,
I do the music.
Lyrics start here:
HAPPY MMS DAY!
AT&T allowed the use of Multi Media Messaging for the iPhone yesterday.
And how nice of them to send me a message
that it is available on my account too.
Man. It’s great to be living in 1997!!!
You know, I used to bash the iPhone,
But I have come to terms with it.
It’s not just a phone. It’s a mini computer too.
I just wish I could do more of what “I” want to do.
I am starting to like it now.
It’s AT&T Wireless I couldn’t stand.
They take the “phone” out of the “iPhone.”
And, I don’t care much about anything else.
This is what they should fix!

Give me 3G now!
Heroes
Just when I was about to lose my faith in television,
here comes a new tv series that caught my attention.
A certain group of individuals, discovers their unnatural talent,
and tries to make sense of what they are becoming.
It’s Brilliant!
Who among us never dreamed of becoming one?
Or just to have special powers?
I surely did.
I remember when I was a kid,
my two greatest fantasies about having special powers were:
Teleportation,
and Time Travel.
Mainly because of the long commute I have going to school
and hating the traffic every single day.
I wanted to just “Teleport” myself and be there on time,
without any hassle.
“Time Travel” because mostly when I get to school,
I often realize that I have forgotten something.
My wallet,
my homework,
my lunch,
(my pants,)
my school bag.
Whatever.
Then I would desperately wish I could travel back in time and get it.
Now that I am older,
I still wish for those two superpowers
but for very different reasons.
Teleportation, just because of having the power to escape
whatever situation you have gotten yourself into.
And Time Travel, just so you can go back
and fix whatever you hate in your life.
Come to think of it,
these two superpowers sounds like you have to do a lot of work.
And a lot of thinking.
And more work is something we should really try to avoid.
Let alone thinking.
So okay then.
Screw it.
I don’t need these powers.
What I really need,
and I’m sure you’ll agree with me,
is a freakin’ Genie.
Quite a scare
Hurricane Rita just missed Houston, Texas.
My cousin Joie, lives in Houston.
The power of prayer truly is amazing.
I am glad you are doing okay my dear cousin.
Maybe you should move here to Florida,
so when a hurricane strikes,
we both get to combine our evacuation food stuff.
And then after the hurricane has passed,
you get to help me finish all them canned goods, I stored.
Because last year,
I single handedly ate all the canned sauerkraut.
Then I spent a whole night in the bathroom.
Not good.
