TPI ::: Anyone Else Flying In?

This is for Irene.

Because you've already spoken to your mom and your sister a couple days ago when they got here, there's no need to tell about the who, how, what, why, and where. I'll just share with you some photos 'cause I know you won't mind. =)


There's a lot more to come so watch this space. Hehe!

RIGHT BRAIN ::: Goodbye Songs

They never get old. You pull 'em out of oblivion once in a while and they have the same effect. The one I have for you now is called 'Taken' from Plumb's Beautiful Lumps of Coal album which came out four years ago.

I've actually met Plumb and she's funny. Loved her faint Georgia drawl, too.

Now, I'm gonna pass up posting the lyrics this time. I annoy even myself with it. But the song is right here for you freeloaders.

TPI ::: For my cousins.

Guys, I finally spoke with Val this afternoon. He flew in last night and couldn't find his way out of NAIA for an hour and a half. Uncle Boy had to go in and get him because there were no clear signs telling passengers where to go next after they disembark. This was Val's first international flight out of Sea-Tac and thanks to our non-user-friendly airport personnel, the guy had to struggle with getting information. Or was Val just not paying attention?

Q talked to Val first in the morning and then Wicca later at noon. He's still the same, they both said. Matipid sa salita and reacts just like when he was last here some six years ago.

Joey, he said you live far and couldn't we just call and tell you to come over. Ano masasabi mo?

He had been drinking SMB pale and smoking. I asked him why he wasn't having San Mig Light instead and apparently he didn't know about it. He's jetlagged for sure and the intense humidity wasn't helping him any. When I left him he said he was going to get some sleep or try to.

Vinz's wedding got moved to next month, June 16th. Rin, yes, we'll be at the fiesta thingy Ate Ningning is throwing on the 26th. Where else would we be but in the joint where there's free food?

RIGHT BRAIN ::: Hey, baby!

Godric, my first nephew ever (don't wear it out), was born May 8, 2007 at 3:40 pm. He is currently getting ready to move in with his parents but is also open to being the next Jolie-Pitt.

Not to forget, happy 30th Anniversary to my Mama and Dada. Thirty more? 'Wag naaa. Kidding. Love you guys!

Happy birthday to Bono.
So he got bumped off the Time 100 to make way for John Mayer's enormous fro. S'all good. Bono's still the man and John Mayer's still inept.

RIGHT BRAIN ::: Madonna's Atonement

One of the few Maddie songs I'll be caught dead playing, too.

This* is going out to my, our, Ninang Puring, whose generosity transcended convention.
SAY GOODBYE
NOT KNOWING WHEN
THE TRUTH IN MY WHOLE LIFE BEGAN
SAY GOODBYE
NOT KNOWING HOW TO CRY
YOU TAUGHT ME THAT

AND I'LL REMEMBER
THE STRENGTH THAT YOU GAVE ME
NOW THAT I'M STANDING ON MY OWN
I'LL REMEMBER
THE WAY THAT YOU SAVED ME
I'LL REMEMBER

INSIDE I WAS A CHILD
THAT COULD NOT MEND A BROKEN WING
OUTSIDE I LOOKED FOR A WAY
TO TEACH MY HEART TO SING

AND I'LL REMEMBER
THE LOVE THAT YOU GAVE ME
NOW THAT I'M STANDING ON MY OWN
I'LL REMEMBER
THE WAY THAT YOU CHANGED ME
I'LL REMEMBER

I LEARNED
TO LET GO
OF THE ILLUSION
THAT WE CAN POSSESS
I LEARNED TO LET GO
I TRAVEL IN STILLNESS
I'LL REMEMBER HAPPINESS
I'LL REMEMBER

AND I'LL REMEMBER
THE LOVE THAT YOU GAVE ME
NOW THAT I'M STANDING ON MY OWN
I'LL REMEMBER
THE WAY THAT YOU CHANGED ME
I'LL REMEMBER

NOW I'LL NEVER BE AFRAID TO CRY
NOW I FINALLY HAVE THE REASON WHY
I'LL REMEMBER
*You may get it here along with some other recent acquisitions.
