I, Done
I was watching "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" this morning; it's something I've been doing during this summer. Anyways, it was the last two episodes of the show and also one of the saddest. I'm serious, it almost made me cry as I saw all of the characters saying goodbye to each other as Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian were selling the house, Hilary and Ashley moving off to New York to do a talk show and go to the school of arts, respectively, Carlton boarding at Princeton, and Will finishing college at ULA. With each goodbye, the character of each person was shown in how they were like during the entire running of the series. Everyone said goodbye to "Will", and Will said goodbye to "Uncle Phil", "Aunt Viv", "Ash", "Hil", "C", "G", and "Nicky".
One more month of the summer is still here for me. As I and my colleagues begin a new era in our lives, I hope that all of you who have ever read my blog will stick around and find out how things turn out.
Computer Troubles
Once again my computer has ceased to properly work as the hard drive has most likely crashed. Everything will be fixed within about a week. At the moment I am using a computer in my local library. (Thanks).
Anyways, it's halfway through the summer and I have about one more month of carefree days until school starts and I'll begin a new adventure in high school. We'll talk about this more later.
Rupert Murdoch has bought the Wall Street Journal and I don't think I feel happy about this. The credibility and journalistic integrity of one of our nation's oldest newspapers is at stake. I'm a bit surprised at the Bancroft family for doing this but I'm sure they've thought it through. I'd read TVNewser for more on this.
So I hope you have a good summer and I hope to be back soon.

Blogger Promotion Troubles
As I have been blogging for a couple of monthes now, I find it difficult to find my audience.
Google search certain phrases in my blog often do not come up and I see this depressing.
Anyways, I hope that someone will come upon this blog if they search for certain phrases not found anywhere on the Internet, as far as I know. Here's one phrase from the popular PBS Kids show (one of my favorites), Arthur.;
This phrase, the promotional slogan of Ed Crosswire, Muffy Crosswire's dad, is a significant display of the salesmanship of the Crosswire business and their (I think it is a-) monopoly of the Elwood City used car sales business. And as the people of Elwood City run to Crosswire Motors, Mr. Crosswire is there to talk them into buying cars ranging from a junker with no tires to a bright red convertible.
A display of the type of people of Elwood City, a regular city we can familiarize with.

A Second Chance
As I told you in a previous post, my computer hard drive was not working correctly and could not be accessed except for a certain time. Now that my dear friend, the computer and its innards, are working again, I am grateful for another chance, or privelege.
See you again some other time..

USA Holds Natl Spelling Bee Title; O'Canada Takes 2nd
I am so sorry I have been unable to blog for the last several weeks.
It's been a busy month.
Anyways, as you could see from my title, a Canadian has been unable to become the first one to do so in the Scripps Natl' Spelling Bee. Not a lot to say. Here's a great report from ABCNews.com .
Hope I can blog more soon. Maybe the best thing I can do is just give these headlines.

This Friday before Mother's Day
Good evening on this TGIF Friday. This Sunday is Mother's Day and I haven't forgotten.
Two weeks ago our school was hosting a conference spelling bee. I remember that during the first half of the bee, our school was sweeping the house and was winning the first couple grades. The great feeling that ran through our school was electrifying knowing our school was right at it.
Yeah, we rocked.
World News with Charles Gibson was here in Seattle yesterday and today is their last day here. Watch to see their Person of the Week.
Now I couldn't really decide over what song to give you, as Mother's Day is on Sunday. Maybe the best song is the original "If I Can Dream" by Elvis Presley as a solo, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Barbra Streisand, maybe even"My Girl" by the Tempations, or perhaps that duet by Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie, what was it called? "Unforgettable" ? That's right.
You know. I could have put the Temptations' "My Girl" here and the words and everything would have been just right for all the mothers out there but that's okay.
Anyways, good night and have a Happy Mother's Day.

This TGI Friday in Seattle
Sorry I haven't posted for a week now, although I probably nobody even reads this. Summer feels like it's coming in soon; and you can feel the Sun's ray of warmth agreeing. With people mowing their lawns and tending their gardens, planning July vacations, hearing baseball games on the radio, and seeing kids out playing in the streets and in the woods, you know summer will be on its way soon.
Anyways, it's a regular Friday afternoon here in the Puget Sound/Seattle area. Friday's traffic around the highways has started and is slowing people down as they try to head home. If I were a local news anchor, I'd be able to better show you the local atmosphere with it's clouds, sun, traffic, and people's faces showing their Friday feelings.

Usually I get off the bus early but today I was last and I was able to better see the regular Seattle traffic as my friends head on home. And we were listening to Radio Disney and a song that shows the feelings of this local commute atmostphere in Puget Sound and across the nation, came on.
This is how we live in America with our cars commuting on highways and bi-ways; this song tells all.
It's Friday; TGIF. Have a great weekend...

Sunday Night, Monday Morning
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life...!
Monday's are really busy, tense, and maybe even stressful. These feelings are captured in "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & The Papas here (great song; made me feel better):
Have a great Monday...

Lot's of updates/Seattle afternoon
In the News:
The British sailors taken captive by the Iranians spoke out today and talked about their "confessions" which were actually forced statements. Now the Iranians are saying the words spoken today by the British sailors were dictated. Hmph... What do the Iranians who took the British sailors think? We're not stupid. On the same subject, I think about what I would do if the same thing that happened to the sailors happened to me. Would I outright refuse to lie or would I go along with the captors and do what they say? And somehow, I think of Johnny English and the exciting scene in Westminster Abbey.
Anyways...
Here are some videos of things being talked about on the 'Net. First is Bill O'Reilly and his very fiery and angry shouting match with his colleague Geraldo Rivera on Bill's show in FOX "News" or "Faux Noise". They were fighting over the causes and faults in the story of a drunken illegal alien that killed a young girl.
Now this next video is of a guy bowling with and spinning a ball spare, if that's what it's called:
Finally are two NBC News reports, this first one from the Today Show. The last video is a great report from NBC Nightly News about the American Idol "Sanjaya phenomenon."
Speaking of this Sanjaya phenomenon, this is a joke from Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live":
It's TGIF and a wonderful sunny afternoon in Seattle with the current temp. at 77°F.
Have a great weekend..

"[Sanjaya Malakar] is still in the running and there seems to be a lot of
outrage about this. Some people are saying it’s because of a website that
encourages people to vote for the worst singer, and I hope not. I don't like
that. This is not a joke. We are voting for American Idol here... I mean, I
know it was funny when we re-elected President Bush, but this is serious."

Oh goodness
What am I doing up right now? I don't know. In about an hour, it'll be TGIF. Sean can't seem to wait for his spring break and the rest of us are thinking only one more day until the weekend. Here we are waiting for a brief end to work and labor where we can catch or recuperate until a Monday in the near future. There's a song that goes "Monday, Monday..." but there's also TGIF.
So about this series
Maygan said people were getting tired of reading my political blogs so she decided to ramble about something I'm not sure I understand. Anyways...
About that special series I was telling you readers (if there are any) about. It's unofficially but apparantly on a current hiatus; it's on hold 'til some other time.

Awkward commmerical
I was watching "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader?" (I believe I am but those adults?...) and I saw this ad from Tostitos Chips. Awww.. this is awfully awkward but funny:

Really Mad
You know, I'm really mad at this "seanlover5678" idiot :@. Therefore to release my anger, here's a song conveying my feelings on the matter. Just play the player on the right. Go ahead and sing along.
Yesterday's April Fools
Google has been known for making online jokes of new services they are providing in Beta. Yesterday's jokes were about a service called "Google Paper" and another known as "Google TiSP". You think you have T1, T2, or T3? Well here's Google TiSP. Anyways, I thought I'd mention this since this is rather funny. And I provided links to Wikipedia because I'm too tired to talk about this. Wikipedia has more information on these jokes and other hoaxes by Google on April the 1st.
I'll tell more about the special series mentioned yesterday on Wednesday, hopefully.
So I was thinking about the song "Respect" written by Otis Redding and sung by Aretha Franklin so here's a YouTube video of Aretha in "Blues Brothers".

Now it's Raining
Well it was nice and sunny earlier today but now the skies are gray, the trees are dark green, and the rain is moderately splattering onto the porch outside the window. It's still a normal, yet boring, was sunny, now it's raining, regular Seattle Sunday.
7:35ish PM PT: I can see clearly now the rain has gone. (seriously) The convergence zone is in weather's in way. Still here are the dark clouds that had me find. It has been a bright, bright sunshine day. has been a bright, bright sunshine day. I think I can make it now the strain is gone. All of the bad feelings have disappeared. Here's the rainbow I've been praying for. It has been a bright -- bright - bright - bright - sunshine day - bright sunshine day. Look all around, there's nothing, but gray skies. Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies. Anyways...
Look up to the next post.

Boring Sunday
For the first time in a long time, I have been bored on a Sunday. *sigh* Sundays in Seattle. Usually on Sundays I have a lot of work to do, but not today. The sun is shining down on Seattle and the grass and trees are responding by slightly waving around. The sky is mostly cloudy but you can tell there is blue behind it. Then there's the buzzing sound of a lawn mower. I haven't heard that sweet buzzing sound in a long time. Someone is always mowing their lawn whenever I'm bored, as if a lawn mower and my boredome were adherent. It's also opening day for the Mariners tomorrow.
Anyways, I'm planning on starting something new here. A special series involving an important issue to schoolkids in private and public schools across the nation will begin this week. More later...Feeling Sober (as in sad)
Once again, I am quite sorry that we (I) haven't posted in quite a while. (I mean seriously, my colleagues) Anyways, yesterday on the Today Show, the Teletubbies crew made an appearance. I thought it was rather interesting so here's a video.
When you were a small, little kid, did you ever make an imaginary spaceship that took you to the moon? Well I was taking out the trash and when I looked in the recycle bin, I saw my cardboard spaceship my brother and I made together. We made it out of a Gateway computer box and painted green spots here and there and rightly called it "the CowJumper." I think it had something to do with the cow that jumped over the moon and since Gateway boxes were white with black spots, like cows. Farewell dear spaceship. I had fond memories of traveling to the moon and meeting strange and funny creatures there. So that ends an era of space travel to the moon for my brother and I.
Also on a sober note, (I don't know if I should be talking about this). Have you ever been able to know your great-grandmother? I have known my great-grandmother.
You see, I'm from New York and I have a lot of relatives there and in the Philippines. Hmm, haven't told you I'm a New Yorker. Anyways, I've visited her in both places. And now, well... : (
She passed away a week or two ago. May God bless her.

Not Everyday
If any of you have been reading this blog, you would have noticed that there have been no new posts in the last couple of days. Now the blog's subtitle is "Daily life, musings, and other possibly boring things ...." It is no guarantee that I or my colleagues will post everyday but at least I will try to. As for my colleagues, they can post irregularly.
Anyways, a lot of things have been going through my mind.
Have you ever realized that if you collected all the lint that goes through you
r dryer for a long period of time, you could sew it all together and make a sweater? I just realized that after cleaning out the dryer's lint compartment and I felt the texture and feeling of the lint.
