I am the early bird that had a few drink last night...
Damned Early Birds
I hate that I wake up so early everytime I drink...it's now approaching the second hour of my awakedom. Sheesh, I'm starting to think if I ever get another job, an 8-5 one, I should just drink every night before I go to bed and I could then ensure that I'll be awake come early in the morning, ha ha ha! Oh well...just because I've been awake, doesn't mean I've been that productive. It's Sunday, for goodness sake! But I DID do some reading here and there...and I found this funny lil blurp by Rich Seeley from Reseda in the sports section of the LA Times:
"Why not drop the pretense that there is anything like journalism going on in your sports department? Just print a disclaimer that reads:
'Due to the Tribune Company's ongoing grudge against Phil Jackson, the Los Angeles Times only prints negative stories about the Los Angeles Lakers. If they should win any games in the playoffs we will consider it a fluke. If the Lakers should win a fourth NBA championship, we will call upon the attorney general of the United States to investigate the team for fraud.'"
He called out all the haters, too funny.

Having my uncle Limuel, why I kept calling him pop's cousin, I have not an inkling, around this weekend was actually much cooler than I thought. We haven't had the chance to visit our relatives in the philippines, and the LAST time there WAS a visit, only mom and Jos went, because we had some major remodeling stuff here that was going on at the time so me and pop had to stay, plus I had HS entrance exams and interviews and stuff... Before that, I hadn't been to the philippines since I was like 3 or something. And we were supposed to go this past Christmas, but well, because of pop's state we had to cancel. Doing the math, I have figured that it's been a long time since I've had any actual face-to-face interaction w/ my own family. So naturally, I have felt quite removed from my family accross the sea. So the idea of a relative coming to stay didn't excite me as much as it did pop and mom. At first, I thought that we were gonna have some relative whom I didn't even really know, staying with us and my weekend would be full of draggin him around and that I wouldn't even really be able to communicate with him, and all that dreaded relatives-staying-over stuff that I used to always encounter. I also thought he'd just be boring and stuff and we wouldn't have much in common. Quite the opposite, he's this 3 time chess champ dude which I found to be totally interesting. He just wanted to talk and get to know me better and learn more and more about me cuz he had only a little time to stay at our place before moving along onto his next place. One thing that really wow'ed me was how he attributed everything he had to God, and BAM, I knew we had so much more in common than I had first assumed. We both felt the same way about how God has a reason for everything, although at times we dont' understand, but I know now that there was a reason why I didn't go up north...so that I could meet him. I've really enjoyed our conversations, and he really has made me feel closer to my family back in the Philippines. I thought they knew such little about me, but it turns out that they know almost everything that's gone on in my life. And it was good to hear that things with the family accross the sea were going well. I so want to go home and see them all, but we have to wait til the doctors clear pop for travel. And I know pop really wants to go to, he was so excited when he and I had to pick him up from the airport on Friday. He kept coming to my room all excited seeing if he called yet telling us that he'd arrived already...it was so nice to see him excited about something other than London, and it really made me happy. So today, he will be on his way to Las Vegas, but we've exchanged info and all that so I will definitely be keeping in touch with him.
