New Year Howls


 

     Second day of New Year, and my cough has so worsened that I have been advised to go to a doctor, but there’s no love lost between me and the doctors, so, no, I won’t go to them yet, though this cough has been wreaking a bit of havoc on me. My throat is sore and it’s painful to swallow, and I haven’t been exercising for more than two weeks now, the bikes are all now covered with our dog’s hairs and the stationary bike is covered with dust, so all the calories and the bad cholesterol I ingested these holidays will soon do damage, and I sorely lack sleep now as I have been howling, er, barking, er, coughing, through the nights. I so sorely lack sleep that after a long while, I had sleep paralysis again, demons crawling up your bed, telling you that they will kill you.

    I spent the New Year's revelry two days ago just lying on the bed,  hopefully my whole 2024 wouldn't be as lazy.

     Anyway, excluding this cough, 2023 was so nice to me and my family (siblings and immediate nieces and nephews) health-wise and financial-wise, not really so much financially, just enough, we still can't afford a house in Forbes Park. Lol. But we’re actually in the process of building a house outside Metro Manila where we could hopefully settle before this new year ends, so, yes, I hope, 2024 will be as blessed and blissful, if not better than 2023 for us.

    Me, specifically, was thoroughly financially blessed this year as I opened my coin container and saw that I had saved around 230 twenty-peso coins and around 200 five and ten peso coins. I can now buy anything I want or go anywhere. Lol.

     So this illness, yes, is really just a minor hitch. *howls* er, *coughs again*

     Just spare me the sleep paralysis, and the need to see a doctor.

"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...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
