Thanks for the music

Photobucket

I was simply blog-hopping yesterday when I came across a blog and found out about Michael Jackson's untimely death. At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke or a hoax,then I checked on Yahoo! News,indeed he passed away, just 3 hours ago from the time I first read it.

Memories of the Eighties came back to me of listening to his "Thriller" tape from a borrowed Walkman. I loved his music those times then, they sound so much better. The Eighties child in me still regularly listen to "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)"



Thanks for the upbeat music, thanks for the memories. In my own quiet way I'm sad not only because of his death, but also for all the stories about him from his childhood to the news of the scandals drummed up by unfair publicity. I can imagine the loneliness he must have felt during those times. I'm naive in saying this, yes, but I think because of his popularity those weird stories just grew and grew until it came to a point that the public's mind was conditioned to believe them all. He was so popular, so adored by his fans, (I remember just a glimpse of his sequined gloves could make his fans faint!) and yet he still searched for love and acceptance not because of who he was.


Thanks for being a huge part of the entertainment industry and for sharing your original talents. Michael Jackson, may you rest in peace.

You Are Highly Inspiring



You believe that your life has a higher purpose, and you do all you can to achieve it.

You are wise, and a lot of your wisdom comes from self discipline.



You try to live as moderately and modestly as possible.

You make room for rational, small indulgences... while living as ethically as you can.

New ebay account, yes, because I have a problem, I could not use my old ebay account as confirming a credit card number is required. lolz! - I say, I don't have a credit card because I'm promdi probins only (long story there) So here I am again starting over.

Anyway, I'm just happy to be back selling, and not just on ebay but on other online selling sites too. Check my other blog too about ebooks. So if you're interested please let me know, message me here, there or via email.

Paperworksgalore









(I thought of posting this blog entry as a Business-as-usual Monday, or Business-On-Monday, but since my target is not just business but about earning money, I thought why not Making Money on Monday? It sounded perfect so I checked if maybe someone had thought of it before, and yes, I was right - it's a Monday meme, and here I am too. Beginning today I will be blogging every Monday on making money online or offline)

Happy Independence Day!





I'm sharing one of the Filipino songs that stir up my feelings for the Philippines and everything Pinoy (Yes, this Filipino-German loves the Philippines sobra-sobra)

Dakilang lahi
na sa 'yong tangi
pag-ibig ko Inang bayan
Isinumpa ko
O Pilipino gagaling ang sugat
ng iyong nakaraan
Nang pahiran ko
luha ng 'yong puso
ay natayo muli
ang karangalan mo

O ang pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo
Inang bayan
Ikaw ang s'yang dalangin ko
Sa Diyos kailan pa man
Kuminang na

ang iyong bituin
at sumikat na'ng araw
ang kalayaan mo'y sinisigaw
Ang bukas ay tanging sa'yo nakalaan
Kayumanggi
ang kulay mo
Dugo't pawis inalay mo
'di ka na maaapi ngayon o kailanman
Pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo inang bayan

Dakilang bayan
Kapayapaan
Iyo'y muli nang nakamtan
Tulad noong araw
bago inagaw ang kayamanan mo
Ang 'yong kalayaan
Nang pahiran ko
Luha ng 'yong puso ay natayo muli
ang karangalan mo

O ang pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo
Inang bayan
Ikaw ang s'yang dalangin ko
Sa Diyos kailan pa man
kuminang na ang iyong bituin
At sumikat na'ng araw
ang kalayaan mo'y sinisigaw
Ang bukas ay tanging sa'yo nakalaan
Kayumanggi
ang kulay mo
Dugo't pawis inalay mo
'di ka na maaapi ngayon o kailanman
Pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo inang bayan

Kahit na gaano kaliit ang tinig ko
Buong lakas akong magtatanggol sa 'yo
Ang bukas ay tanging sa'yo nakalaan
Kayumanggi
ang kulay mo
ang buhay ko'y alay sa 'yo
'di ka na maaapi
Ngayon o kailanman

pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo inang bayan
pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo inang bayan

Wordless Wednesday - Francis M-inspired basketball ring



That's a Francis M-inspired basketball ring set-up by my nephew Matt at our backyard. "Three stars and the sun"

Wanna know something funny? They attached it to a breadfruit tree and the basketball ring's been going up day by day, farther from their reach. Kasi they forgot that they stuck it to a live tree!

Below are my children CottonCandy reaching for the ball, Jbean aiming for a shoot, watching on the side are Cupcake and Andrei (Matt's son, or in short, my apo, hehe)

Tendjewberrymud

Let's relax for a moment and read something funny ^_^

I first read this article from a Philippine Star column, and to my surprise it was nominated as the best email of 1999. I still have this clipping in my pack rat box or what you may call "lumang baul"

For the sake of those who've never read it yet, here you are; for those who've read it before, let's laugh again!


"Tendjewberrymud"

It's amazing, you will understand the above word by the end of the conversation. Read aloud for best results. Be warned, you're may find yourself talking "funny" for a while after reading this.


The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review.

Room Service (RS): "Morny. Ruin sorbees"

Guest (G): "Sorry, I thought I dialled room-service"

RS: "Rye..Ruin sorbees..morny! Djewish to odor sunteen??"

RS: "Ow July dee bayhcem...crease?"

G: "Crisp will be fine."

RS: "Hokay. An San tos?"

G: "What?"

RS: "San tos. July San tos?"

G: "I don't think so"

RS: "No? Judo one toes??"

G: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know what 'judo one
toes' means."

RS: "Toes! toes!...why djew Don Juan toes? Ow bow singlish mopping

G: "English muffin!! I've got it! You were saying 'Toast.' Fine.
Yes, an English muffin will be fine."

RS: "We bother?"

G: "No..just put the bother on the side."

RS: "Wad?"

G: "I mean butter...just put it on the side."

RS: "Copy?"

G: "Sorry?"

RS: "Copy...tea...mill?"

G: "Yes. Coffee please, and that's all."

RS: "One Minnie. Ass ruin torino fee, strangle ache, crease

G: "You're welcome"
