When is your turning point?

What would it take for you to give in?

A couple of days ago,
Tracy rushed me to the hospital,
because I just couldn’t tolerate the pain on my back anymore.

It was kind of embarrassing,
because we were out in public,
and there I was, in pure agony.

It felt like something was going to snap,
as I try my best to walk.

Not good.

But I still insisted on not going to the Emergency,
since it really is no secret how I feel about
these arrogant, pompous jackholes,
who call themselves Doctors.

Just because they went to school longer than you,
and they were given power by the government to give you drugs.
which just technically make them “Drug Dealers” in white jackets,
They think that they are Gods.

Gods my Ass!

So anyway,
as Tracy and I argue about going to the emergency,
I was determined to stick to my guns, and not go.

She said,
“So you’re just going to suffer there?”

“Yes!”

I said swiftly.

“Just because you don’t want to see a Doctor,
you will just live with the pain?”

As she gives me the look.

“Oh yeah!” I said. As I try to avoid the look.

“Even though there’s a big possibility about your nerves being damaged.”
She added.

“Yup!” I still remain.

She said,
“You know the nerves down to your leg, controls your bowel movement.
And if the nerve is damaged,
you might lose control of your poop and pee.”

(Silence)

“I’ll get the car keys. You drive.”

I hate it when my woman wins!

So what’s your breaking point?

T. N. T.

(Tyler’s New Thingies)

Okay, okay.

This has been on my mind for quite some time now,
but I just never got around to it.

Blame it on absent-mindedness, laziness,
procrastination or even absent-mindedness.
But before you do,
in my defense,
I spent a lot of time, pondering on the philosophy of
Tyler’s DVD videos.
(You know, just trying to exercise my dormant little mind.)

Like,
From Toy Story 2,
Why is it that Woody never remembers about his popularity in the old days?
Was it because he is currently being loved by his owner, Andy?
Jesse and Stinky Pete surely remember their past,
but they currently have no owners, so maybe that allows them to think back?

How come Buzz Lightyear couldn’t accept that he was a toy from the first movie?
Was it because he was woken up by Woody, before he felt Andy’s love and care?
Just like the way Buzz has woken up the 2nd Buzz Lightyear in part 2?

Am I the only one concerned about this kid, Andy,
having Bo Peep and Barbie dolls in his room?
His sister surely is too young to handle these girly toys.

And don’t you think these kid’s cartoons have something against parents?
Haven’t you noticed how in these movies,
there is always an issue with regards to parents?

Andy has no Dad.
Nemo’s Mom got slaughtered by a Barracuda.
Mufasa, Simba’s dad, died from a stampede.
Tarzan’s folks died too, devoured by a cheetah.
And Bambi’s mom died from bullet wounds.

Am I the only one concerned about this disturbing trend?

So anyways,
What was I saying?

Oh yeah!
Tyler’s New Thingies!
T. N. T.

Sorry, I got sidetracked there.
See what I mean?
See how much time I waste, analyzing stuff like these?

As I was saying,
My plan for this T.N.T.

Every once in a while,
hopefully a couple of times a month,
I would write down new things that Tyler does. Or say.

The kid is talking non stop, and starting to make sense.
And it’s such an exciting feeling when we get to decipher what he is trying to say.
I wanted to write those down, so I can look back here and remember
how crazy this has been.

He says a bunch of words now,
Like, Hi Daddy!,
(or mostly No! Daddy.)

Hi,
Bye,
and Nite-nite.

He can count from 1 to 15.
But pronounces “seven” as “siete”.
(got some Spanish in him too)

Nemo is “Meemo”
Dory is “Dowee”
Woody is “Wooey”
And Buzz is “Buhhhh”

So anyway,
He also imitates some scenes from his movies.

Like, from Toy Story 2,
When Woody tries to save Wheezy from being sold at the Yard sale,
and tries to think on how to do it?
Tyler can do that flawlessly.

And whenever Buzz Lightyear shouts,
“To infinity…..and Beyond”
He pronounces “Beyond” as “iyot”.

Which, actually is a word in the Philippines.
And I know, some of my Filipino friends who are reading this
are probably laughing now,
So, for the sake of our non-Filipino friends,
I will continue and say what that word meant.

See, the Philippines has more than 80 local dialects.
And in one of them,
“iyot” means…. “__CK”

Okay….wait..
maybe I can’t say it.

Oh Well,
I’ll just assume you guys know it by now.
I gave you 50% of the word already.

So anyway,
Stay tuned for more T.N.T. ‘s next time.

But for now,
here are some cool links.

I don’t get it.

So I was at the Doctors yesterday for my back,
and since I was a new patient,
I had to fill out a lot of forms.
You know, just so they know a bit about my medical record.

And in one of the questions regarding my health history,
I was asked to indicate if I:

#1 — Smoke.
If yes, how often.

#2 — Consume Alcohol.
If yes, how often.

and

#3 — Did take any illegal drugs or medications.

So my answer was,
#1 — No.
and for #2 — No.

So the doctor sees and reads it,
and mentions to me that I have no serious medical history.
Plus I don’t smoke and drink.

Then he said,
“That’s quite unfair.”

So, I chuckled a little bit.
But, in all honesty,
I have no clue what he meant by it.
Unfair?
Unfair to whom?

Did it mean that,
It was unfair to me that I do not partake in any bad habits?
And I don’t know how much I am missing by not consuming these substances.

Or was it unfair for other people who smoke and drink,
for they are addicted to the enjoyment of destroying their health?

See, these things are what I ponder about when it’s late at night
and I couldn’t sleep.
Or it’s what keeps me from admitting myself to a mental institution.

Oh, and the number 3 question on that form?
If I ever did any drugs?

The answer is No.

Because I get the same effect,
just by standing up very quickly.

I know it’s late but,

Happy New Year To All!

Now, it’s not that I have been slacking off with this website,
and it’s also not that I am running out of ideas,
and it’s not like you really care.

I mean, why couldn’t a guy,
who runs a crappy website,
who doesn’t have a job,
and stays home all day,
update a simple freakin’ site?

Well, this time,
I have a reason.

And it’s legit.

See, during the holidays, I was transferring our home videos,
to VHS tapes.

I just couldn’t fool anybody
to buy me a DVD recorder as a gift for Christmas,
but that’s not important right now.

Anyway,
The video contained most of Tyler,
when we were still in Canada,
his first steps,
him with me,
him with his Mom,
him with his Grandmother,
him with his cousins,
his Christening,
our trip to the States,
our “move” to the States,
his first Birthday,
his Halloween costume,
his first mini pool,
his toys,
and then his new Christmas toys.

Then I realized,

Even though I spend so much time with him,
even though I was always with him.

It felt like it wasn’t enough.

I know it’s impossible,
but I should try harder to catch up.

So, if you see no updates on this site for a while,
I am out there doing my “real job”.
Either pretending to be Buzz Lightyear,
or memorizing each and every
Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks movie lines.

Because, you know,
Elmo and the Sesame Street gang is so 2004.

That’s old news!

May this New Year be joyous to all.

on a side note:

As the Death Toll in SouthEast Asia Tsunami tragedy increases,
Let us offer a prayer for the victims and their families.

“Eternal rest, grant unto them, Oh Lord.
And let your Perpetual Light shine upon them.”

3 reasons

There must be a hundred reasons why I should say that
this is one great Christmas Day!

As the day ends,
I pretty much narrowed it down to three.

Number 3.
Since Tracy’s sister and her family came to spend the holidays,
just seeing the smile on my wife’s face and see how happy she was,
I wouldn’t trade that for the world.

Number 2.
The look on Tyler’s face when he opened his gifts.
Everything under the Christmas tree was pretty much his.

And the number 1 reason why this is a great day…..
(drum roll please…..)

No phone calls from bill collectors!!!!!

Woooohooooooo!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!
God Bless us!
Everyone!!!!!

Hello!

My name is Ty,
and I am morbidly obese.

A couple of days ago,
I was talking to my Mom on the phone.

As a loving son, who misses his Mother’s cooking,
I asked her, like I always do, what she had for dinner,
So I can reminisce, how good her cooking was.

She said,
“Oh I don’t eat dinner that much, so I don’t cook a lot.”

I was flabbergasted!
That can’t be right!
My Mom and cooking go together like drugs and alcohol.
(I’m just kidding, She don’t do alcohol.)

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

She said, “Oh I am getting too fat” I need to lose weight.”

Now, for those of you who haven’t seen my Mom,
She is just a tiny little pixie.
I do not know what weight she was talking about.

So anyway,
The weight problem topic quickly shifted towards me,
And she said,

“You need to lose weight too,
especially when you go out looking for work.”

Curiously, I asked, “Why is that?

She said,
“I read somewhere that they discriminate those who are obese.”

Whew!, good thing I have good sources once I get out in the real world.
That takes off, a whole lot of pressure.

I wonder if they also discriminate those who have thinning hair?

My new friend

Ladies and gentlemen.
May I introduce to you,

The reason why my life is sometimes miserable.
The reason why I have anger management problems.
The reason why I hate everything,
and the one that is responsible for all the bad luck in my life,
My imaginary friend,

My “Bad Luck Troll.” (tada!!!)

Yup.
You heard me, boys and girls.
It does exist.

Sometimes my wife, Tracy makes fun of me.
She thinks that the reason I am angry with everything,
is that I have this notion that the whole world is trying to get me.
That everything bad happens is directed at me.
That for some “God Forsaken Reason”, I feel like I have the worst luck.

This “Troll” sits on one corner waiting for me to feel a little bit of happiness,
Then “BAM”!!!
Another bad thing will happen.

This “Troll” seems to have a knack on giving me hell,
right on the heels of the last freakin’ bad luck it gave me.
I don’t even have time to fucking recover, nor at least breathe!

He (or She, I don’t want to be prejudiced here), is the reason why I feel this way.
The reason why I have so much hate that I just can’t get rid of.
Why my back hurts so much, I think it’s going to snap!
The reason from all this pounding headaches.
The reason my fucking neighbors become assholes the moment Tyler takes his nap.
The reason why I drop things.
The reason why I get stuck in traffic.
The reason why I always hit a red light too.

Sometimes I try to outsmart this stupid troll of mine
that I take random routes to different locations,
but I still hit a fucking road construction site,
that they just purposely started when I decided to take that way.

The reason why the US Immigration people are fucking slow,
and won’t process my fucking papers,
so I can fucking work!

The reason why Bank tellers, Bill collectors and Drivers license people
become heartless, blood sucking bitches when I engage their valuable services!

Come to think of it,
this fucking “Troll” told the governments of Canada
to fucking leech all my money from me!

The reason why I can’t sleep at night,
and if I did,
there will be some fucking asshole,
with his car audio blasting like the asshole he is,
drive by and stop right in front of my house.
Of all the fucking houses in our street, he stops on mine!

And you know that shower rack in your bathroom?
The thing where you put your shampoos and soaps?
How many times have you heard that thing would just suddenly fall and hit someone in the head?
Ask me!!

The reason my back hurts,
The reason I am losing my hair,
The reason my vision is bad,
The reason I am fat,
And the reason why everyone drills into my head
that I am fucking fat and losing my hair.
Like I don’t fucking know it already!

And the reason why you see all these people,
who fucking waste their life on drugs and alcohol like their money is freaking unlimited!
While the only unlimited supplies I have are these bad lucks that this fucking “Troll” sends me.

Is it my Karma?
Is it my Karma from all the people I’ve hurt before?
Fuck that!!
What about those who have hurt me?
What about the good things I have done?
When do I get to reap them?
Were they even recorded somewhere?

I don’t believe in Karma!
It’s just something people invented so they can fucking trick you to be nice to them.
I don’t care what other people think anymore.

Even Christmas!
Why would millions of heartless, Cold-blodded,
cruel, nasty, spiteful people change because it’s Christmas?
Everyone suddenly becomes joyful and triumphant!
One holiday doesn’t make you a saint just by giving gifts.
Does it?
Oh yeah, I forgot… Christmas is all about gifts!!!!

What is that you say?
It’s about love? And peace? And giving?
BULLSHIT!
Anyone who believes that Christmas is about love and peace,
hasn’t been at WalMart, during their holiday sales.

It’s all about how many gifts you receive.
It’s all about who has the prettiest lights and decor in your street.
Do you remember your most memorable Christmas?
Is it about that this is the Lord’s Birthday?
Or was it because you actually received something that was on your wish list?
The spirit of Christmas has been long gone!
Rudolph’s head is on someone’s wall.

Some people would say,
“Oh there are other people who have worse luck than yours.”
Well, thank you very much Dr. Phil!
I am fully aware of that.
Why don’t you be nosy somewhere else, or count something.
You bag of shit!

Or someone would also say,
“Yes, but that’s just life.”
Yes, I know that too,
but I am not like other people who enjoys all the senseless things in this world!

Or some hippie would say,
“You just have to know the best things in life. The best things in life are free”
Yeah, you’re right.
The best things in life are free.
Plus Shipping and Handling!

These are my problems and I have the right to complain.
Sometimes, in the music of my life, I hit a sour note.
Apparently, this sour note is on maximum sustain and I am tired of it.
I don’t need anybody’s help,
Nor anybody’s sympathy.

The Matrix is fucking programmed to get me!
And Neo is fucking dead!

Oh and the latest?

The car broke down the other day,
so I got the call from the auto shop.

“Hello Mr. Tyrone, Sir.
the transmission is shot and needs to be replaced,
it will cost you $1,850.

Oh and a certain “Mr. Troll” sends his regards.

FUCKING GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Song Added


“Tamis Ng Unang Halik”
(The Sweetness Of The First Kiss)

Music by – Kristina Paner
Solo Guitar by – Ty Martell

An old Filipino Ballad,
that just won’t leave my mind for days.

It was kinda cute the first time I was playing it,
but then it took me 3 days to record,
so after that time,
I had to finish this song and get rid of it.

But that wasn’t how I felt with my first kiss.
Oh it was magical!

Of course, I had to make sure I clean the mirror afterwards.
