Tyler’s New Thing-ies
Enter Scene:
After an argument while
Father and Son are playing video games:
Father: “Ok! I am sorry. Don’t be mad at me.”
Son: “I am not mad at you, Dad. You’re the best guy I know.”
Father: “Aww. Thank you, Son.”
Silence
Son: “But.. You’re the only guy I know.”

Good luck sleeping outside.
Driving to work today made me realize
that one of the things that truly make me happy
is when I sing loudly in my car.
I mean, I really belt it out.
Loud!
I sing along to the mixed CD’s I have in there.
And even though it hurts me when I am done
like someone-punched-my-throat- kinda hurt,
I still enjoy it.
No matter how much I am dreading to get where I am going
or how bad my day went,
Singing in my car lifts me up.
So, add that to the list.
My list of “Things That Make Me Happy.”
Which includes:
-Singing in the shower
-Movie Marathons
-Butter
-Not giving a damn what anybody says.
You know how sad it is when you never got to tell someone
all you wanted to tell them while they were still around?
So, uh…
Dad.
Even though you’re gone,
I still have a lot to tell you.
– I’m alright.
– I called Mom.
– I’m trying to be better.
– The Celtics lost to the Lakers.
– No. Houston didn’t make it.
– I did that thing you told me.
– I’m sorry about the car.
– Yes. They still love your jokes.
– Except that one.
– Everybody misses you.
– I miss you too.
– I’ll call Mom again.
– Happy Father’s Day
– Oh and I love you.
Happy Father’s Day
to all Dads out there!
Ako’y Pinoy!
(I am a Pinoy!)
Pinoy is a slang word that we call us Filipinos.
Much like a “Canuck” for Canadians.
Or “Crazy Americans” in uhhh America.
Anyway,
In celebration of the Philippine Independence Day,
I made this cover of a great OPM Inspirational song.
It’s a song by Florante,
a great Folk Singer I used to listen to
back when I was growing up in Manila
It’s a song proclaiming about One’s love for his own language.
My Webcam wasn’t cooperating with me much
while I was filming this, and my Stereo Plug connection keeps on popping.
I am sorry, this is the product of my exhaustion and laziness.
Pardon the mistakes as well.
Here is Ako’y Pinoy.

As you may have noticed,
I added the Facebook “Like” button, on the individual posts.
Let’s see if that would be a good start to integrate this site to
those social networking pages.
I’m testing it for now.
I am not sure if it’ll last.
I already took out the twitter sidebar.
It won’t show on the front page. (**update** – it now does)
It has to be on the actual post.
Man, I am really sucking on this web maintenance gig.
I’m trying to get ideas on making this site grow.
And I am out of them.
No inspiration whatsoever.
I have mentioned here in my site multiple times
that the most requested song I have covered is
I LOVE YOU, by Bro. Mike Lapid.
I have longed to get in touch with him so I can properly send my sincerest thanks.
As well as inform him that I have been distributing his songs to those who have requested for it.
Well, it finally happened.
With the help of a certain individual, who knows Bro. Lapid personally,
came across my site and made this connection possible.

Even a clock that has stopped running,

Thank you to my “SupaFriends.”
Jojo, Myra, Abbie and Jay for coming over for a fun filled weekend.
“Your friends and family truly are your greatest treasure.”
Until we meet again.

Well. That’s my time in Ottawa.
I really had a great time. As always.
My sincerest thanks to my family and friends who always make Ottawa, my home.
And we ate out so much, I was literally crawling back to the car.
I actually gained 10 lbs. on my first 3 days. No joke.
I was so full, I didn’t know what was happening half the time.
Anyways,
Am at the Airport now and waiting for my flight.
Tu vas me manquer, Ottawa.
I will miss you a lot.
Made it here.
The fun officially starts now.
