The Birthday Song (Good, Better, Best)

Question: What do people sing on birthdays, when the actual Happy Birthday To You Song wasn't composed yet? I mean back in the olden days since this song was made in 1893.

Any takers?



Answer: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow

Okay nuff said about trivial things. Well, today is my birthday. I don't usually do much or anything special at times like these 'cause I hate of how it reminds me that I'm turning another year older when I feel like I'm just 25 or something (just kidding haha). Anyways, I'm kinda a little bit depressed for weeks now so I didn't bother of making any plans. Although some of my friends kept asking me months prior to setup an outing trip, or road trip or something but I didn't LOL. Its just that I know everyone's busy -- baby stuffs, family stuffs, they're out of the country -- and the-only-one-I-could-sort-of (who's actually in the P.I.) pull-out-of-the-work-hole is Nacho (but then its still unlikely since her schedule is very untimely). I can't believe I just made a rhyme out of that phrase LOL~

So maybe we'll see, days after that, depending on some of my friends busy schedules where I might push myself into their free time. I really don't want something big. All I want is some time together with family and friends and hang. With that I would be eternally grateful.

Something random, I don't watch TV that much these days (mostly I get updated on shows online via streaming), but then, my Mom was using the PC so before I got bored with nothing much to do, I went up to the room and watch A.I. (American Idol), Kelly Clarkson's performance was delightful btw. And her talk with Mimi after the perf was really nice, wished they didn't cut for commercial though (just when things were finally starting to get interesting in AI this season! ! ! Damn!). Thereafter, I changed the channel and decided to watch something on HBO, the movie is an old film called Chances Are, saw a young Robert Downey Jr. and was amazed at how dashing he was then. The story seemed cute, it was sort of a fantasy-romcom flick or something. I really liked the movie, I thought it was a charming love story. I was totally glued to the screen, giggling and smiling althroughout, well almost, until the end part which totally just put me off (lemme explain, I don't mind who Corrine ended up with whom; be it Alex (Downey) or Philip but for the incest part where Alex ended up with his daughter was totally insane and WTF! That was creepy!). But the soundtrack was nicely put though, even if it was abit corny, it was one memorable scoring that worked well with the film. Can't help but sing ♫And here we are again. . .♫ haha ^_^

Late in the night, I wasn't feeling sleepy yet so I grabbed the guitar on my bed. . .

I bought it several months ago, it is a Lumanog guitar that has this cool brownish paint with wood embellished design on it.  It even matches the wood panels of the inner walls of our home (so just in case we need some sort of decoration, its a dual purpose item! LOL).

I remember last holy week, when my younger brother, Pau and his GF were staying at the room and he saw the guitar, and he literally just lit up with excitement, "We have a guitar?!" And I replied, yes we now have one. He played with it instantly but noticed that it sounded abit out of tune. I haven't been using it much for weeks now so I wasn't sure.

And so now that they're gone, and I'm alone once again in my room. I finally got the chance to check the guitar out. It did sounded off or something.  Actually I've been trying tweaking the pegs for a couple of days now -- thinking as day by day that I try to re-do it, it just made it worse (and worser HANNAH mode!!! LOL~).

Tonight, I finally got the tuning right this time. Yey! Finally, now I could do my jam. Delightful~

The brown one is almost identical to the one I have now. Sorry if I can't post an actual pic of it though.

And so I guess, things didn't work out the way I wanted it to be today. I'm trying to get my two feet back on the right track. (Di ko parin maayos ung dapat kong ayusin nakakasuya.)

Anyhow, I hate how I'm staring at the past now, when I know I shouldn't have. I hate this kind of feeling but then I guess, this is where I'm at.  So maybe I'll just clear my head and think passed these things through and find that clarity behind this hazy vision.

It's a little depressing, walking my way through it. And I've tried pondering on some unanswered questions from the past. Finally, its abit clearer now than the last. So I'm thinking of closing the "book of the past" for now. So I can move forward and face what's ahead.

One battle at a time, this I said to myself.
Walk on, take a step, little by little and then another step once more.

And maybe that's the gift I ought to treat myself today. Its definitely much better than the burgers, baked cakes, bottle of beers, or money that you can spend. (A healthy alternative??? LOL~)

So that whenever I look in the mirror, I'd see a change in front of me, a different kind of me -- definitely blue yet something new -- a NEW me.

Disclaimer: A friend of mine has already sung a birthday song for me a week ago, it was genuinely sweet of her to do, its somewhat funny and amusing whenever I recall about it. It was too early for her to greet me that time but she just wanted to be the first one 'cause she can't help it. So I just let her be. Haha! Definitely I was touched, oooh maybe I should treat her with some beer or something LOL!~

HAPPY B-DAY TO ME ! ! !

Drinking Do's and Don'ts (w/ MikeyThePlatypus!)

Note:Yesterday, Mai and I were texting, exchanging updates on friends and stuffs, and then she texted me asking me like, "Do you know who's Bday is next amongst our friends??" When I read  that I was like grinning sheepishly, thinking of something naughty or a prank maybe haha.

Coz I know everyone's Bday and most often than not, I end up reminding them who's Bday it is on that certain day.  Just like the last time, the previous Bday was of Nacho on March, Mai  and I were texting 5 days after Cho's Bday and I was like checking Mai if she ever greeted her or what. And then she truthfully told me that she haven't. She panicked alittle bit for a moment for forgetting it LOL~

So that was me, "The BDAY Reminder" friend haha. Maybe I should like ask for a fee with this or something haha

I replied Mai and told her, "N O N E."

Cho just laughed when I told her about this LOL~

Sorry Mai haha
