My cousin once said that,
“Christmas is not a date. It’s a State-Of-Mind.”
I only have 2 more days, and I am nowhere near any Mind-State.
Nope.
No spirit neither.
I m beginning to have doubts of it ever coming.
We’ll see eh?
2 more days.
**UPDATE
Guess what freakin’ died on me today?
My TV !!!
I have no money, nor the time to get another one.
Just Effing beautiful!
Merry Freakin’ Christmas, Ty!
If there is one thing I know I have,
is a Sense-Of-Humour.
I have to.
I certainly am lacking in the “Looks” category.
Not to mention the “Rich and Famous” part.
And I am most certainly not hip with whatever the “in” things are nowadays.
But, as weird as I am,
I am definitely sure, I have humour.
I hear people tell me that all the time.
But today,
A co-worker of mine told me something
that may have been the best compliment I have ever heard.
“Ty, your head must be a fun place.”
–
I’ve never heard that one before.
I was actually taken aback, after hearing that.
I would like to think of it as a compliment.
I like making people laugh.
Yes!
My head is a fun place.
It’s filled with great ideas and fun stuff,
Filled with laughter, music and dancing.
Filled with chocolates and pies and candies.
Filled with voices and questions.
Imagine what else I can do,
if they take off my straightjacket.
Twelve more days.
Still not Joyful.
Nor triumphant.
Yup.
Situation: Normal.
Carry on.
Yes it does.
I have had this cough for more than 2 months now.
It is not as bad as when it started, but I feel it getting worse.
Again.
Yes I have seen a Doctor.
Twice.
But the cough is still here.
And I am not going back there anymore.
For those of you who don’t know me,
You wouldn’t think that I am a sickly person.
If you actually get to see my appearance,
you would probably think that I am person who likes to eat candy.
And cake.
Maybe a bit of donuts too.
But I get sick a lot.
I don’t even smoke. (Never did!)
I don’t even drink. (Not anymore!)
My immune system is as strong as
Superman chewing on Kryptonite.
I really do not mind the flu.
Nor the colds.
Nor the plague.
It’s the coughs I hate.
I really do.
I do not have any ending for this post.
I am just pouring out my frustrations.
Not on this site.
But on this cake I am about to munch on!
With all the music I have done on this site,
the most requested song is
I Love You, by Bro. Mike Lapid.
A big percentage of site referrals and search engines point out to that song
And it all redirects to my site.
I am actually not surprised. It’s a beautiful song with a beautiful message.
I am surprised though that people actually want to listen to my version of it.
Maybe because there are few, if not none, other versions of it out there.
But from the bottom of my heart,
I am truly honored.
A lot of people have requested to have a copy of that song
and I have respectfully declined to send it.
The song is not mine.
I just played it.
I played it because of personal reasons.
Not to show off or prove that I can.
I wanted to get a hold of Bro. Lapid to finally get his permission,
but I have no idea where to get a hold of him,
so I can answer the requests emailed to me, without guilt or hesitation.
I do not even know how the copyright laws would protect Bro. Lapid.
I do not want people having the notion that I am him or him playing the music.
I am sure his version is way better than mine.
And since most of the requests I have received have good intentions,
I am forced to send them my version.
As long as Bro. Mike Lapid is recognized as the one who wrote the words.
As long as it is noted that it is his music.
And let it be known that I just sang and played it as my own personal version.
This includes and is not limited to all the songs he made
that I have done and will do in the future.
In conclusion, I truly hope that the song would help others,
the way it has helped me.
I am sure that is what Bro. Lapid intended it to be.
Thank you very much.
(Songs are under CHORUS – WORSHIP)
PS – and for those who have emailed me before,
I will also try to scour my old email and will reply back to you.

**UPDATE**
Bro. Lapid finally found out about this and replied to me.

There is only one reason why I would not write on my site.
A Promise.
I promised I will not write any posts while I am being influenced by Anger.
I’ll just end up blabbing about stuff I would most definitely regret saying afterwards.
What am I angry about?
Well for starters,
I have realized that I am not the Chosen One.
It also turns out I am not a Ninja, nor a Jedi.
I used to think I was a “Knight in Shining Armour.”
But it turns out I am just a “Retard in Tin Foil.”
You see my drift here?
And what annoys me the most
Is that some people are all of these
just by pure luck.
So, I am back to writing on this site now.
Since I am beginning to accept the obvious.
I know the World is not fair.
But it is never fair in my favor.
Just finished our Disney Vacation trip,
with no money and a flat tire.
AWESOME!!!
It’s my own personal “Welcome back to Reality!”
I’m pretty sure it was Mickey who slashed my tires.
I was flirting with Minnie the whole time I was there.
And we’re off!
Off to see the Mouse in Orlando.
The kid will be turning 7 next week
and I promised I’d take him to the happiest place on earth.
It’s funny what people think about
“The Happiest Place on Earth.”
Kids immediately know it’s Disney.
Women think it’s in Forks, Washington.
I personally think it’s wherever Kate Beckinsale is.
See you in a week!
You may have noticed I have configured the Chorus page on this site
with a JukeBox player. (Courtesy of Wimpy Player)
To better organize the songs in there.
I am in the process of adding the rest.
As well as configure all the individual song posts.
That’s going to take me a while to complete,
not only because I am lazy
but there are a crapload of songs in there already.
I never really noticed how many songs I have done.
Not to mention all the other stuff I never posted.
Anyways,
I hope you’ll like what I did there and it is still a work in progress.
I welcome any suggestions you might have.
Except maybe the way I play or sing.
I can’t do anything about that.
That’s as good as it’s going to get.
As the death toll and the damage rises in Manila, Philippines,
I humbly ask for everyone’s help.
In prayer
or in kind.
Please give generously.
