One of the dangers of having a wife who loves the nerd/geek inside you
is that they end up ordering stuff like the ECTO-1 to add to your collection.
Especially when they’re at home recovering from their surgery and Amazon is readily available.
Did I say “Danger?”
I meant “Benefit!”
So the Hospital won’t let me back in because visiting hours are over.
I went back to the lodge and snuck in a little piano playing by the common area.
Thought I’d share this, because I’m bored and I couldn’t annoy Natalie while she’s recovering.
Hello to all!
All went well with the procedure and Natalie is now in recovery.
Thank you for all your messages, prayers and best wishes.
I’m figuring out how I can get some of her morphine coz I think I need it too.
Like, a lot.
So, Natalie is undergoing surgery today.
Here’s to hoping everything will go well.
Thanking all our family and friends who are sending their best wishes and prayers.
Good thing we have some support from them.
It’s not easy when you’re full of stress, fear and anger.
Natalie and I had too many Hospital encounters and bad experiences
even before we got married.
Hopefully this time, things will be better.
***UPDATE***
Natalie is being prepped for surgery at this moment.
Now we play the waiting game.
Thank you to all for your wishes and support.
Will send updates after they call me and I have seen her.
I need proof first.
This popped up on my Memories feed the other day.
I was showing Tyra what other cats do outside.
She was like, “No way?”
And I was like, “Yes, Way!”
And we were both like, “Whoa!”
We never went outside though.
Because outside is horrible.
I miss this cat so much.
The WindowsXP Operating System on my laptop?
Not really.
Jani Lane.
The front man of the Metal Rock Band, “Warrant”
passed away eleven years ago.
I listened to a lot of their music back in the 90’s and I have always thought he was such a cool guy.
I have always admired amazing singers and songwriters.
Because I can’t do both.
Sure, I can play music.
But it’s mediocre at best.
Plus my voice, fingers and brain does not seem to play in sync.
I wish I would have been surrounded by more musicians throughout my life.
In that way, I would have learned from them and had more chances to better myself.
Except the Universe or whoever is in charge of it, didn’t think I should.
Oh well.
Maybe in the next life, eh?
Anyway.
Here’s a little quick video I did playing a Warrant song.
And it’s still one of my favourites.
Here’s another proof of my Dad’s corny jokes.
And by Jokes, I mean be ready to cringe.
I drove him to Tarlac this one time to see one of his clients.
He talked to the gentleman for a bit while I waited at the lot looking at the vehicles parked there.
One of them was a Chevrolet Truck and while I was checking it out,
Dad and his client seemed to have agreed on something and he asked us to wait for him
as he’ll grab something in his house.
Dad comes up to me and noticed I was looking at the truck.
He said, “Nice truck, huh?”
“Yes, it is.” I replied back.
He added, “Someone once corrected me by pronouncing Chevrolet as Chev-Ro-LET.
With the hard “T” at the end. It should be Chev-Ro-LEY.”
I stared at him waiting for the punch line, I asked “What did you say?”
“He said, “Well, I suppose we should call your Mommy Lolette, Mommy LoLEY.”
–You see it’s my Dad’s Birthday today.
And I try to share all these memories of him so he will never be forgotten.
I miss him dearly.
Happy Birthday, Dad.
A shout out to my brothers and sisters on this day.
Even though we are all far apart and our family is scattered all over the world, know that I am proud to be a part of us.
To Ate Beth, Ate Lynn, Kuya Jo, Kuya Mel, Bry and Kiel,
Mahal ko kayo mga Kapatid.
