Happy Birthday to my sister Evelyn.
You know,
it’s always fun trying to guess
which country you are in everytime I call you.
I wish you all the best, Ate.

I’m a dork.
For some reason,
I find it funny,
that RUN D.M.C.
may have gotten their name by clicking on
START
RUN
type “CMD”

Then not too long ago,
it just dawned on me.
That IHOP,
stands for,
International House Of Pancakes.
Hahhahaa!!!
Man, I am a dork.

A couple of weeks ago,
Nikki, a very good friend of mine,
sent us this “modified” song lyrics,
making us guess what song it was.
I thought it was pretty funny,
so I decided to play it.
Anyways,
If you did not spend your childhood in the Philippines,
or currently not residing there,
this would not make any sense at all.
So just allow me to post this tune,
and maybe you could sing along.
Just follow the bouncing ball.
–You’re gonna have to forgive me.
I was laughing when I did this.

Valer kuberch, kahit jutay
Ang julamantrax donchi ay anek-anek.
Nyongkamas at nutring, nyogarilyas at kipay
Nyitaw, nyotaw, jutani.
Kundol, jutola, jupot jolabastrax
At mega join-join pa, jobanox nyustasa.
Nyubuyax, nyomatis, nyowang at luyax
And around the keme ay fulnes ng linga.
*Thanks Niks!
It never fails!
It never fails.
All week long, the weather was hot as hot can be.
There was a forecast that it was going to rain all weekend.
But it didn’t.
So, since the sun was shining bright,
Tyler and I washed my car.
Then this morning,
Lo and behold,
It was raining like a mother trucker.
We even got flood warnings and wind advisories.
How can that possibly happen overnight?
When I could have sworn there was a Drought yesterday.
Man! It never fails.
Every time I wash my car.
It also never fails that traffic starts when I leave the house,
even if it was 2 in the morning.
It never fails that when I switch to a faster lane,
that lane suddenly stops.
It never fails that there will be one asshole on the road,
cutting everybody off,
feeling like he had to be somewhere important.
If you go to a party,
It never fails that there will always be someone
who ruins everything for everyone.
There’s always something.
There’s always someone.
It never fails.
I think that’s also one of the reasons why the Senators lost the Stanley Cup.
If you want your team to win,
Let me root for their opponent.
Guaranteed.
It always happens.
It never fails.
Another T.N.T.
Tyler’s New Thingies.
Man, we haven’t done this in a while huh?
Here’s a recent one.
Before meeting the gang in Atlanta.
I had a little chat with my son,
and…
Ty: Okay Tyler. I need you to be very good today, alright?
Tyler: Okay Daddy.
A couple of minutes later.
Ty: Tyler, remember what I asked you? I need you to be very good today okay?
Tyler: Okay Daddy.
A couple more minutes later.
Ty: Okay, we’re about to see my friends. I need you to be very good today Tyler, okay?
Tyler: Okay! Okay Daddy! I’ll try. Settle down.
Well.
That put me in my place didn’t it?
In his defense,
he was very good.
I was not.
Atlanta meet up / New Song Added
Me and my Grade school friends met up in Atlanta, Georgia
last Labor day weekend.
And had a great time.
I played this song, in tribute to how wonderful these people are.
Them and their families.

Thanks Abbie, Jay and Emma.
Thanks Maita.
Thanks Jojo and David.
and Thanks Myra, Chris and Jake.
You know,
I’ve looked at our old pictures,
and it made me wonder how things have turned out for everyone.
Sometimes, I can’t help but notice
how everyone’s life turned out as they are.
I never expected my life to be like this.
Nothing is as how you wanted them to be,
but still you make do with what you got.
Spending your time trying to fix your broken dreams.
Just like when I was at that age,
I wanted to be a famous Rock Star.
Rich beyond my dreams,
and with people bowing to my greatness.
That didn’t happen.
Not even remotely close.
Except for the famous part.
I am famous!
But only in Japan.
I am “big” there.
** Happy Birthday to Maita (13), Myra (22) and Emma (24).

Hurry, because I am making them private soon.
An update?
Okay! Okay!
I will.
Tomorrow.
Maybe.
We’ll see.
New Song Added – Maybe I’m A Leo
Maybe I’m A Leo
By Deep Purple
Click here for Lyrics.
I have been listening to a lot of Classic Rock these past few weeks.
I don’t know why.
I guess I am just re-introducing myself to how guitar music was
in the old days.
The good days.
I have always said that I would give anything to have been in that era.
In the music scene of the late 60’s and 70’s.
How I would love to have witnessed the first Woodstock.
The “real” Woodstock.
Where love, peace and understanding
dominated everyone’s feelings.
Well, that and drugs.
But I wouldn’t do the drugs.
I never have and never will.
I am not that stupid.
I don’t need drugs to make me feel high.
I get the same effect just by playing music.
Or eating wasabi.

I need a break.
I am in Orlando for a week, for training.
And tomorrow’s the exam.
I just took a break from
partying
drinking
gambling
womanizing
studying
yes, studying,
to update this site.
I just realized that I haven’t updated this site since …
well, since that post underneath this post.
I need to get back and keep this site up to date.
This is a product of my hard work.
It’s one of my accomplishments.
And I haven’t had any accomplishments in a while.
That’s why I need to pass this exam tomorrow.
Not just because I have to, but also for bragging rights.
You see the last accomplishment I have done successfully was,
this morning while taking a shower,
the bath soap slipped off my hands,
and I caught it!
In mid air!
Woohoo!!
I am awesome!
And a loser.
An awesome loser!
Beaches of the South – Update
It has been almost three (3) months,
since I started the South Beach diet.
I wish I had pictures to show my progress,
or a chart to see where I am and how much weight I lost.
But I won’t do that.
It is rude to brag about achievements,
since it might be taken ill by some people.
(39!!)
So let me just share to you what I have learned from it so far.
First. – I AM TIRED.
I get tired very easily.
I don’t know why.
But I am always tired.
Second. – I AM LIGHT.
I move a lot quicker.
Especially when I play guitar.
My fingers are a bit faster too.
And I can see the frets.
Maybe because my belly sticks out so much before
that the guitar was so far from me.
Third. – I AM STRONG.
I did the Groceries today.
And before, when I spend 80 dollars worth of groceries,
It takes 2 plastic bags and
I need two hands to carry them.
Now, I carry them with one hand,
in one plastic bag.
Okay maybe that last one was because of Inflation.
Stupid laws of Economics.
