Father’s Day 2013
Some of the things I remember about my Dad
are his lame jokes.
Some of it were good,
but most of it were… cringe worthy.
He would tell the same jokes over and over
and all of us would just sit there and let him deliver it
and pretend that it’s our first time hearing them.
Allow me to share this one joke of his to you
that he told me when I became a father myself.
I will write it in Filipino first
since it was told to me that way
then I’ll translate it for our “Habla Inglesa” friends.
Keep in mind that we were on the phone,
talking very seriously.
Here it goes:
“Isa ka nang Tatay, anak.
Marami kang dadanasin at haharapin na pagsubok.
Pero eto ang tandaan mo.
Sa isang pamilya,
Ang Nanay ang ilaw ng tahanan.
Sya ang nagbibigay liwanag sa inyong lahat.
Ang Tatay ang haligi ng tahanan.
Ikaw ang pundasyon ng inyong pamilya at kabuhayan.
At ang pinaka importante,
Ang mga manugang ay ang mga anay,
na dumudurog sa pundasyon!”
Hahah!! I am still laughing about this joke
after all these years.
And now I’m going to translate it …….
You know what..
I’d rather not.
I may get in trouble for this.
I miss you, Dad.
Happy Father’s Day
Every single time
Every freakin’ time I link a Social Media site to this blog
I end up hating it and end up doing a lot of cleaning.
I tried to link my Twitter posts here,
it just ended up messing up my archives.
I tried using a Facebook comment plugin,
it slowed the loading time to a crawl.
Ahhh! The things you have to do to feel
accepted and normal.
Why can’t I just do humiliating things for money?
I don’t know
I don’t know why I keep this site anymore.
Nobody reads it.
Hell, I don’t even read it.
Who still reads blogs?
It’s not 2010 anymore.
Memorial Day 2013
Our eternal gratitude to the men and women
who gave their all and paid for their lives.
Thank you.
Music Thursday Throwback
Ha!
Look at this guy from 3 years ago.
Trying to make his first Video Song Post.
He’s got no clue on what he’s doing.
What a dork!
You should feel bad for this guy.
Watch this video.
And for your inconvenience,
I promise to pay you back in Candy Crush Lives.
Go! Leave a comment if you want to.
See the rest of the video song posts on my “Youtube Channel.”
Or all the posted songs under “Chorus.”
–Disclaimer:
I may have stopped playing Candy Crush
after I spent $300 playing levels.
Please don’t expect any.
The Worry Box
This is the Worry Box.
It was lent to me by someone from my work.
I didn’t know it, but this is something they pass around
whenever someone or their family is going through trying times.
Quote of the day
“If your plans aren’t working, change your plan.
Not your goal.” – Anonymous
-I saw that somewhere on the quotes hashtag on Instagram.
Yeah I stole it.
That was my plan.
I didn’t change my goal.
Thought of the day.
I heard this question today while I was watching tv
here in this Canada Winter Storm,
All sick with the colds and cough,
waiting to get shipped and quarantined
at the center for disease control.
Question:
“Would you re-live your worst memory?”
Or
“Would you rather forget your best one?”
My answer?
I’ll re-live my worst.
Happy memories are the only ones keeping me here.
What’s your answer?
It may get very intense
Last night’s first journey for a loved one got a little overwhelming.
It’s only the first step.
The following events may become very intense.
But no matter.
You don’t give up on people you love.
You just don’t.
