Random Anecdotes and Facebook Posts

 


     In the news these days and on my FB News Feed a lot are the wife and husband who own a construction company, and who, almost a year ago, flexed their forty (yes, 40) luxury vehicles inside their mansion’s mall-like parking area. Why the hell would you need and want forty luxury vehicles? The wife was even heard claiming that they actually owned almost a hundred vehicles.

     So, I have an FB friend who was so happy and excited to receive an email from a publishing company telling her that they were excited to work with one of her online novels, which means they would want to print it and distribute it. And printing it would mean shelling out money—specifically, her shelling out money and giving it to them. Yes, it’s more likely a scam.

     Taylor Swift is getting married. I am not a fan, though. If I would be asked to name one of her songs to save my life, I’d fail and die.

     A few days ago, I was in a mall, and I was buying something from a drug store, there was a short queue and the man in front of me, when his turn came, bought eight packs of condoms, different brands. I don't know, maybe, he's vacationing with his girlfriend, to a place where there's no condom. Or maybe he has five or six girlfriends, and he'd meet all of them within a week. Lucky girls, he always makes sure to keep the deed safe. Lol.

    I saw an article that says broccoli is the healthiest vegetable while apple is the healthiest fruit. Ever since I learned to eat, I’ve been eating veggies and fruits, and I have no favorites. I like them all.

     The past few days, I rewatched some of the movies that had quite entertained me before like The Departed (2009), Triangle (2009), Groundhog Day (1993), Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), and yep, they still entertain me, so I’m going to rewatch some more movies. If you like crime films about the mobs/mafia and the likes, The Departed is a must-watch. Some of the movies that I have rewatched more than twice and I think I’m going to watch again are: Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992), The Godfather I and II (1972 and 1974), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Matrix (1999), John Wick 1 and 2 (2014 and 2017), World War Z (2013), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Jaws (1975), Gladiator (2000), and The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

     Somebody shared this Instagram post on Facebook, which was from a daughter of a contractor that deals with DPWH, telling her followers that she was currently in the 37th country she has visited. DPWH is currently embroiled in an enormous and disgusting scandal that revealed ghost and substandard flood-control projects from its contractors, resulting to massive flood everywhere and loads of leptospirosis cases. And yes, the husband and wife that have 40 luxury cars are also DPWH contractors with ghost and sub-standard projects, and I have some bad news for them: they are going to jail.

     Then there’s this reel of a child who cried miserably and uncontrollably when told that Donald J. Trump is a real person and currently their president.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

While The Room Dances (And The Night Sways)

Image
       Few days ago, I had another bout of severe dizziness. The last one occurred a few years ago, way before the pandemic. I woke up at around two in the morning with my room spinning and I was perspiring really cold sweats. I thought I was about to have a heart attack (that is what Google will tell you when you look for it) so I grabbed my phone when the vertigo subsided and deactivated my Facebook account. That has been my plan, to have my social media account die with me. So I lay there (strangely relaxed) in my bed while the room danced in the darkness and the night swayed and cold sweats broke out from every part of my body and waited for the attack. It's not that I had a heart illness, but it's really a symptom of an incoming heart attack, plus, I wasn't really thinking coherently at that time-- but fortunately, nothing came.      My vertigo, Google also suspected, was probably caused instead by severe attack of allergic rhinitis;...
