There should be a law!

·

It’s Victoria Day today in Canada.
That holiday pretty much kicks off the start of ‘Summer’ up there.

Even though I live in the States, I should have the day off too.
It’s my right to celebrate and observe that Holiday!

I didn’t pass the Canadian Citizenship test
and swore allegiance to the Queen, Freddie Mercury for nothing!

It should be a freakin’ law!

And while I am at it,
I should also observe all Philippine Holidays too.
That would be awesome!

Now if only I can switch to a religion with the most holidays,
I’ll be all set!

As of this moment, it’s a toss up between,
Scientology or being a Sith Lord.

New word

·

Last week,
I learned two(2) new words.

1.) Bluetool
and
2.) Shindig

According to the urbandictionary.com,

A Bluetool is a person who wears a bluetooth wireless earpiece everywhere they go to seem trendy and important.

–(I am surrounded by these people.)

And a Shindig is a party of get-together of some sort.

–(Only way redneck-ified.)

So, to use these two words together,

“Holy Freakin’ Crap! Everywhere you go in this town,
is like you’re in a Shindig full of Bluetools!

A sad day

It’s Mother’s day today,
but it’s a sad day for our family.

This song is for you, Kuya Rhey.
The coolest Brother-In-Law one could ever have.

Thank you for always being kind to me.

We’re definitely going to miss you.

No More Sens!

My hockey team got eliminated today.

That’s okay.
It doesn’t bother me anymore.

I am used to disappointments and shattered hopes.

But,
I can tell you 2 things that will turn this team around.

1.) They should hire this kid –>

2.) Along with this guy –>

The Dynamic Duo!

These two will definitely get the puck moving.
And guarantee to bring Lord Stanley’s Cup home!

On a side note,
Tyler and I played a quick game after those pictures were taken,
and he won 10 to 2.

But that is still unofficial.
I am waiting for a rematch and the
results of his drug test.

Okay, for those who don’t know this one,
it’s an old Original Pilipino Music
during the disco era.

And for those who actually know this song,
and grew up in the Philippines,
Don’t pretend you don’t like this tune.
It’s very catchy and it’ll stick in your head for days.

You know you like it and you’ll sing along with it
if it ever comes out on the radio.
Complete with your 70’s disco moves.

But let me tell you how this song came abouts here.
The girls from the ATL trip were discussing marriage
or something like that.
And they threw me a challenge to make a solemn wedding song
out of this tune,
for the bridal march.

Long story short,
Here comes the … whatever it is.

Hope you like it.

See?
This is what happens when I get challenged.

Terrible things happen.
Just like that time when I got challenged to eat a dozen rotten eggs.
I may have spent 3 days in the bathroom,
but hey, my lunch was free.

I almost forgot!

·

I almost forgot.
Someone was supposed to take care
and update this site.

What a slacker, eh?

Well.
Since we renewed this domain name for another year,
we better make the most out of it huh?

First,
we need to overhaul this design.

Soon.

I am tired of it.

And when I say soon,
I meant… “maybe someday.”

It’s discomforting to realize sometimes
that I only know how to pray when I am in trouble
or when I am in dire need.

And more often than not,
they consist mostly of complaints, hatred,
criticisms and disapprovals.

Like I can do a better job than Him.

But can you blame me?
I am only human.
I am tired.
I am tired of reaching out.
I don’t think He really listens to me.
It’s no fun when you don’t get any answers.
(more…)

Such a loss

·

Renowned Guitarist, Jeff Healey
passed away yesterday.

I must admit this news hit me hard.
I still can’t believe he is gone.

Mr. Healey is one of the most underrated musicians
ever to hit the world of Blues and Rock.

I will never forget his style, his tone
and his screaming riffs.

It really is quite a loss.

Thank you Mr. Jeff Healey.
Thank you for your music.

Here’s a video of one of his famous appearances.

Another Song added – Once Again

One of my personal favourite 80’s OPM songs.
(Original Pilipino Music)

As cheesy as it sounds,
you can not deny the beauty of the songs from old.

Of course they have a certain nostalgia effect to my generation.

I wasn’t really planning on posting this,
But Kristine actually told me a very good point
on why I should.

I couldn’t tell you what it was,
because I don’t want the secret out
and other people might steal my ideas.

And judging from my past,
I now keep all my ideas to myself.

I have great ideas all the time.
But people steal them and profit from it.

You know that
Two all beef patties, special sauce,
lettuce, cheese, pickles,
onions on a sesame seed bun?

Totally my idea.

And then I met a clown.

Anyway,
here’s my rendition of Keno’s
Once again.
