One Is Glad To Be Of Service

While browsing boob tube channels last night, I was able to chance upon the movie Bicentennial Man starring the great actor, Robin Williams.

Though I have to hit my bed early since I need to beat sunrise today, I didn't mind letting the time pass by just to watch the flick again. As the night grew older, it was only then that I realized that this 10-year old movie is so far one the best movies (if not the best) I have seen so far - smart, funny, lovely and above all, touching. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you are definitely missing something.


OT:

It's a proven fact that if you are excited about something, you will have a hard time sleeping and you'll be awake way ahead before your clock alarms. It took me 30 minutes before I could doze off and here I am, striking the keyboard at 3:14 in the morning. I fear I'd fall asleep in the middle of my 2-hour drive to Naga City (I hope and pray not!) to deal with a first-time experience. Will surely have a post about it later. Eheh.

Update:

I didn't fall asleep nor felt sleepy during my travel. Judge Valentin Pura was on leave though, so there was no hearing. Sayang! Eheh. Perhaps, next time. Instead, went to visit SM Naga City for the second time, and CWC for the third time. Thanks Pipay for the company and great 'assistance'. Hahaha. :p

One Sweet and Lovely Note

My father's own handwritten note --
one of the sweetest I've ever read!

Dance With My Father Again
Luther Vandross

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I new for sure, I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me yeah yeah
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love, to dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I hear how my mother cried for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying
For much to much
But could you send back
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dyin
To dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAPA.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST!
THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU!

Maktub!
