A special request from my (former boss) good friend,
Tammy V.
Tears In Heaven
by Eric Clapton.
Mobile Player here:
Now I’ll be honest here.
I do not really know what would prompt her
to make a song request,
but then again,
we used to work together and I know
that we are both gluttons for pain and punishment.
So here’s the song you requested Boss Tammy!
I won’t deny you the misery and discomfort.
It has been proven!
Time Travel is possible.
How do I know?
Well, Tyler turns 4 today.
And that last four years freakin’ flew by!
Oh and I also learned one more thing with this time travel theory.
Don’t blink.
Someone sent me a YouTube video of
Paul Gilbert and Mike Szuter
performing an acoustic version of
“Green Tinted Sixties Mind.”
Click here to watch it.
That was a wicked version!
I loved it.
So, since you didn’t tell me who you are,
Thanks!
(Carlo, was it you? Send me some more!)
Yesterday was Thanksgiving in Canada.
So, I thought it would be my little way of saying thanks,
by going to church during my lunch break at work.
Well, not just to say thanks but also to vent out some anger issues.
Anyway,
So I went to this church,
just a couple of miles from work.
I parked my car,
went to the front door,
“Locked.”
So I went around,
Looking for another entrance.
I saw one door,
unlocked,
I went in.
After about 3 minutes of adjusting into my solemn, quiet mode,
there was this elderly lady, that passed right in front of me.
I am not sure if she saw me, but she went out the door,
and locked me inside.
I ran towards the door, knocking loudly,
as I hear her say,
“Hold on just a minute.”
She opened the door, looking pretty upset,
She asked, “How’d you get in?”
I said, “Through this door Ma’am.”
“The church is closed, and I am going to have to lock the doors.” She answered.
I replied, “I was just hoping to find a church to pray.”
“Well, this church is closed, just come back next time.”
She said hurriedly and closed the door behind her.
I walk towards my car, shaking my head in disbelief.
How crazy was that?
I got kicked out of my place of worship.
It was quite disheartening, because I was really in dire need of
deep contemplation and some spiritual attitude adjustment.
Church has always been a place for me to think things through.
Not today.
Not this time.
Remember when churches used to be open all day?
I do!
I know they used to.
It really is getting harder and harder to talk to the Big Boss upstairs.
In these troubled times,
along with some personal turmoil you have,
you can’t help but question your relationship with your God.
Sure, I know He loves me.
I just think I am not one of His favorites.
Am I still thankful?
Of course I am.
I am here writing this crap,
You are there reading this crap,
We’re alive aren’t we?
Let’s just hope we’ll make it through another day.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Belated Happy Birthday to my sisters!
Ate Elizabeth and
Ate Evelyn.
Many happy returns!
Someday,
we’re going to have to make up for all the lost time.
Love you both very much!
Denden
Yes, I am late with this.
But hey, you know that already right?
So, let’s get right to it.
1) What TV show(s) do you find yourself watching the most?
–I was gonna say “Jeopardy”, because Trebek and I
have a love – hate relationship.
And as much as he bothers me, I can’t wait what senseless remarks
he’s going to add to the (questions) answers,
or when he talks to the players.
And another reason also,
if I say I watch “Jeopardy” the most,
people might think that I am a pompous ass.
I already am. Thank you very much.
So to answer this question,
it’s “Family Guy.”
Because I still watch it even if it’s a rerun.
2) What if any TV shows do you own on DVD?
–I have “Dead Like Me” and “The Story Teller.”
Good shows.
3) Can you name your favorite TV show theme song?
–The theme from “The Greatest American Hero.”
“Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.. because I am so high from drugs and alcohol..”
Wait. I might be wrong.
(Paging Giancarlo! Dude, we need to do this song soon!
Send me the file!)
4) Have you ever been on TV and if so for what?
–Yes. It was so long ago, I deleted it from my memory.
But it did involve me playing the guitar and singing.
Simon Cowell said I sucked.
5) What is your favorite YouTube video (feel free to post a link)?
–Hey Ya cover by Obadiah Parker.
Youtube was a bit slow, so here’s google video instead.
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.
This song was composed by Herschelle‘s sister, Herween.
A pretty cool song, which I must admit,
one of the best lyrics I have ever read.
It’s written in Filipino, so for anyone who reads this that doesn’t understand the language,
it’s a song about love, heartbreak and longing.
I think.
I hope.
I would translate it for you but I didn’t write it.
So I’d rather not mess up the meaning.
Thanks to Herween, for giving me permission to post her song here.
I truly hope I gave it justice.
So, here’s
“Wag Na Lang”
by Herween A.
Aaaaanndddddd… Action!
1. What’s your favorite line from a movie, and why?
–“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Father. Prepare to die!”
Can’t you just feel the anger on that line?
After years and years of keeping the anguish and hurt inside,
it’s finally coming out.
It’s beautiful.
2. Who’s your favorite villain from a movie, and why?
–“General Zod, Ursa and Non.”
The three Kryptonian villains from Superman 2.
All three have Superman’s power and strength. How cool was that?
Unlike in Superman 3. Where he fought a (gasp!) “Computer.”
3. Name one movie everyone else loves that you hate.
–“Steel Magnolias.”
Not only because I am a guy and I don’t like chick flicks,
but also because I can’t stand the thought of Julia Roberts dying.
I like her. She makes me feel funny.
4. Name one movie everyone else hates that you love.
–“Showgirls.”
Especially if you put it on mute.
5. What’s your favorite Pixar film, and why?
–“The Incredibles.”
There is something about Elastigirl that intrigues me.
Maybe it’s her way of managing being a wife, a mother and a superhero.
Or maybe it’s her ability of being able to stretch
and be flexible to do certain shapes and forms.
Either way, it proves that I am a pervert freak.
Aaaannndd Cut!
Man! I really thought I scored higher than that.
