I Can See Clearly Now

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone!
Yes Sir!
I can see!

I had Laser Eye surgery a couple of days ago,
and I must admit that this is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
I cannot believe I haven’t done this before.
Technology truly is amazing!

No more annoying glasses.
No more uncomfortable contacts.
No more dirty lenses.

Plus I can’t do physical work while I have my glasses on.
I am not like Harry Potter who can battle Dragons
or cast away Dementors while wearing his glasses.
He can even swim with it on!
I can’t do that!

So now, with my new eyes I can do more.

Except maybe for swimming.
I still can’t master the Breast Stroke.

–PS
Check out this thing Tyler wrote and drew on his Journal about my surgery.

Fun Times.

Had a great time in Orlando.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was truly a magical place.
I can’t wait to go back.

I uploaded the rest of the pics under the Photos Menu.
(I made some configuration changes,
so if you’re a registered user and you couldn’t log in,
please let me know)

My sincerest thanks to the Taylors for a great time.
We better start planning for the Sequel.

Weekend Break

Off to Orlando.
Time to see the Harry Potter theme park.

We’re lucky enough to spend it with good friends.

I’m going to try to post pics up in my twitter feed.
Yeah, let’s try that. It’s easier.

You can see my feed there on the sidebar.

Well, we’re off!
Hopefully it won’t be too crowded.
And hopefully I get to ride a Hermione.

Hippogriff! I meant a Hippogriff.

Quote of the day

“Love can only be repaid with Love.”

Do not have the nerve to ask for it,
if you do not have any to give.


Yeah that one is from me.

Okay, maybe I got the idea from the Beatles.
And maybe from 3 million other songs out there.
But that’s not important right now.

Thank you!

Wow!

The last post got the most Facebook “Likes” I ever had.
I totally appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.
I know these are not my songs and the covers I do
are mediocre at best.
But I still thank you.


On a side note,
I have added both my Twitter Feed and
Twitpic Feed as widgets on the side bar.

I’ll leave them there for now, and see if it grows on me.
Maybe it’ll be useful someday.

Again,
Thank you so much for checking this site out.

Yours in music,
Ty

New Song Added – Friend of Mine

I was having an OPM (Original Pilipino Music) kick
a couple of weeks ago,
and I remembered this song from my archives.

It’s an old song from the Philippines
sung by Odette Quesada.

My good friend, Anne
actually asked me if I know this one.

I said “Yeah, it’s one of my favorites too.”

Then she said, “Can you play it?”

“Not only am I going to play it.” I answered.
“I am also going to ruin it!”

And now, I am going to share it with you.

So here’s
