Pet peeve - sirens/honks from the radio

When I am driving, I sometimes listen to the radio instead of the CD. And sometimes the radio programs, songs or commercials would incorporate honking or emergency vehicle sirens in their programing. This is annoying because it always makes me nervous. I would be looking around to see if there is an emergency vehicle around or if somebody is honking at me. I would have to lower the radio volume to check if it is actually coming from the street or the radio. That's just stupendous.

Act of Kindness

It was 9 pm when I headed out to the gym. After parking my car and walking down the sidewalk towards the gym, I saw what looks like a blind man with his stick waiting to cross the street. I stopped to study the man and his actions more but he was not moving and it was already a "walk" sign for him. After determining that he obviously needed help, I was moving to cross the street to escort this blind man across but good thing I was not alone with the intent to help. Already there was a woman who had crossed the street and spoke to the blind man. She ended up helping the blind man cross the street. This act of kindness that I saw tonight made me feel good about our society. Thank Goodness.

tiger roars

This is a video I took at Lincoln Park Zoo of a tiger roaring and taking a dump. There is a first time for everything I say. It's a lame post but the beauty of it all, I can do whatever I want in my blog. Right?

Rick Astley - Vincent

Time for some feel good Rick Astley video singing a classic "vincent".

Navy Numa Numa

Another version of the "numa numa" song made by bored Navy guys. I think it's amusing. You know me, I support our men in uniform...

donya

Another funny video that found a home in my blog. It's a parody of "don't ya think your girlfriend is hot like me" by the pussycat dolls.

Do I like what I do?

Whenever a new acquaintance or my patients ask me if I like what I do, I have no difficulty is giving them a "it's OK" answer. I have long recognized that Physical Therapy is not my passion in life. Don't get me wrong, I am very good at what I do but if I do not have pragmatic reasons to be in it, I most definitely won't. I feel those who does what they passionately like to be very lucky. For the rest of us, our job/profession is more of a practical choice. Now if you ask what is my passion? I don't think I have found that one passion. I don't think that we are limited to one passion. For me, I do have several things that I like. Performance arts is one of them. I would like to have studied theater arts or music. Another thing I like is languages. If I was born with a golden spoon, I would just enroll in all those languages and be fluent in them. Coupled with learning different languages is traveling to those places that speak the language. I would immerse myself to the local culture. I do like to travel and see different places.
Now let's say hypothetically I get to do those things I listed above, do you think I will never get tired of it? Will I ever reach a point that I would be looking at some other things that I might think I am more passionate about?

Hindi Ako Bakla

My friend Bong forwarded this video to me. It is hilarious but I am afraid you have to be Filipino raised in the Philippines to grasp the humor completely. I am vastly amused.
