And I’ll sing, and sing, and sing, and sing, and sing, and sing once more!

The hills became alive... when my bro-in-law showed me this!

I am so excited to open this box, that I kept looking at the pictures of its contents online. It’s a wonderful THING to have, and yes I cannot hide the excitement!

I don’t know why my brother-in-law and maybe my sister, also, bought me this. My sister knew I already have the DVD here at home. I guess they just wanted to make me happy.

The question now is… what to get them for Christmas?

Realizations

I just realized, after scanning through some of my older blog posts, that I write a little too weak back then as compared today. I still think I write weak now! How weird is that?

I also realized that the Z button on the VAIO laptop is weak.

I also realized, (how many realizations are there?) that ‘Bones’ is a nice show, and it’s amazing how Americans can create such meaningful shows and Filipinos, I’m sad to say, can’t!

I just realized that a cockroach was moving around the pasta noodles which I was supposed to cook… The Spaghetti Saturday moment just dematerialized…

I just realized that I’ll be going to FESTI now… 😀

Living the Life to the Fullest

 

I woke up this morning, feeling ever so fresh. My mom was listening to some of her loved Christmas CDs. The season’s coming way to quickly for us, and what better way to start the day by singing along with Joe Mari Chan’s “Little Christmas Tree”.

 

After the Christmas CDs came Oldies 101. It’s a 6-CD Compilation of one of the best oldies songs from the 60’s and 70’s, and yes, what joy it brings for someone like me who adores these kinds of things. I wonder who made it possible to create such a wonderful compilation.

 

I have over a thousand songs in my iPod. Most of which are from old crooners and songstresses. I have absolutely no idea how and why I turned out to be like this, one who enjoys listening to old songs when everybody else is dancing to the tune of the latest Bruno Mars song. I guess I’m just living my life to its fullest, and this is one way to do it!

The Happiest Sound in the World!

How wonderful it is to know that I share with so many people around the world this movie as our all-time favorite. I, for one, think it’s the best movie — EVER! And now that it’s on Blu-Ray, well, it must be one hell of a movie, after all.

I’ve first seen this when I was but a mere 1st-year High School student in CSA, sitting inside a not-yet-air-conditioned classroom with all of my classmates. We were supposed to do a “Musical Play” presentation of it.  The plan never materialized, though. It would have been very cool to present it in front of so many people.

It’s been years, see, and I still enjoy seeing it to this day. It’s just a pity that I don’t have the movie in my 80 GB iPod. I should, really, but I’m really lazy converting videos to mp4s…
