Facebook

The facebook phenomenon. I call it that because thats what it is – a phenomenon.

So like now if you are on friendster people would be – whats that? haha. Not to mock friendster, I am still on it.

Although this just goes to show that we have a strong need to communicate and keep on communicating. Same as with the statistical analysis that our country the Philippines has the highest usage of SMS.

We just need to keep on communicating…May it be Manang Inday talking to the other Manang Indays of the world outside the gate of your house. Or may it be the trisikad drivers who just keep on chatting the whole day as they wait for passengers.

Facebook has created an amazing trend wherein we keep all of our friends and people in our network updated by simply changing our status. And they expanded the service by adding all sorts of stuff such as Farmtown. I swear to god someone came up to me in the pantry of my workplace as I was gorging and stuffing my face with the infamous siomai and asked me “dude can I harvest in your farm?” I swear to God if he was not straight I would have thought he was coming on to me. Jeez Luweez.

Anyways. I need to update twitter. Don’t even get me started on twitter. haha.

Fairweather Felony

Those 2 very powerful compounded words. They only sound good when you have no involvement with it. I have experienced this firsthand and I tell you it is a world of hurt. It pisses you off. Reminds you of how trusting you got and how you shouldnt have been. I have gotten f’d over so many times that I have gotten used to it. Although this is not as heavy as it sounds. It is just that when you experience it again no matter what the level of it is, it makes all of those old emotions that you have repressed so hard come crashing down on you.

Friendship is a commitment I have chosen. It is the same as the commitment I have with my wife. I decided on it and chose it with my own will. So to you my beloved friend, I will still be. It is just that Im going to say that this will not be easy. So for all the hardship that I am going to make you go through for the next coming years I will say sorry in advance.

See you when I see you.

Life’s a Beach!

If I could go to the beach everyday I would. It is one of the many things that grounds me. Makes me feel at peace with the world.

The Beach

The best part of going the beach is having your love with you and really great weather!

The wife + the beach

The Weekend

We live and die for and over the weekend. I love the weekend. It energizes you for the week to come and lets you vent out what happened for the week that has passed. I would want to see and hear the beach this weekend. Tough luck. I dont think ill ever be able to feel sand between my toes. Not for a while. But something to look forward to is quality time with the wife and poker night tonight. Don’t get me wrong…Not a big gambler. It’s just that poker is fun…It’s like a realized and materialized version of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Anyway…The smell is in my nose, the sound is in my ear…The weekend is here. Hoorah!

AAAaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!

As per title.

Dad is arriving.

My dad who I call pops is arriving tomorrow. Im picking him up from the airport. I am fairly excited about having full length conversations with my father. My dad is a true parent and I truly feel loved.

See you tomorrow pops!

Tired.

I am so sleepy. Who has a toothpick? I need it to keep my eyelids open.

Cumbersome.

I have become…cumbersome.

I remember myself rocking to this song at the early age of 14…Head banging. “Feeling it” if you may..Highschool rockin days…Never really made sense to me then..

“Too heavy too light too black or too white today or tonight…cumbersome…”

The artistry of a certain piece or work is that it is open to the interpretation of the viewer/listener and to me back then it was just a song with a heavy badass riff and really
angry lyrics. Which kind of made the appeal of the song to me. Your pimples are busting out, your grades are failing, the questions in your head about life just increase
phenomenally. A kid could get overwhelmed with all these things and when you have nothing to turn to, you just get angry. Angry and in search of an outlet, a medium of
expression. Mine was music. I found solace in it. It made me feel good, bad, sad, angry, confused…but it also gave me a reassurance that its ok to feel whatever you felt
when you listened or made music.

Life has taught me a few things along the way but if there is anything that I learned from one of my greatest teachers – music, life is never too cumbersome.

To My Angel again…

I am not really a big fan of OPM…But as I was blog hopping I ran across jabbermonkeys blog about Rico Blanco’s new album. At the same time I was also already at a loss as to what to download so I thought what the hell right? Lucky enough, I heard this song for the second time (first was on mtv) and I can really relate it to the love of my life…So to Angel my wife, let these lyrics speak to you in ways that I would want to express to you how much of a blessing you are to me everyday….
Your Universe

Tell me something
When the rain falls on your face
How do you quickly replace
It with
A golden summer smile?

Tell me something
When i’m feelin’ tired and afraid
How do you know just what to say
To make
Everything alright?

Chorus:
I don’t think that you even realize
The joy you make me feel when i’m inside
Your universe
You hold me like i’m the one who’s precious
I hate to break it to you but its just
The other way around
You can thank your stars all you want but
I’ll always be the lucky one

Tell me something
When i’m ’bout to lose control
How do you patiently hold
My hand
And gently calm me down?

Tell me something
When you sing and when you laugh
Why do i always photograph
My heart
Flyin way above the clouds?

To my Angel…

To my beautiful and loving wife…Happy Birthday.I love you…
