Yep, we have a new baby! He’s the newest addition to the family. His name is Popoy (from the Filipino movie “One More Chance”). He is the most adorable dog! He’s a Golden Retriever and only 11 weeks old weighing 20 lbs, yes, a very big baby! He’ll be three months on May 4th.

First day in his new home with us was pretty strange. He just stayed in one corner or by Buddy, the big dog (stuffed toy) under our living room table. He was so shy and lazy, still not used to being around people.

I’ll post more about Popoy later…

Despite all the negativity about MJ, I still think no one out there can take his title as the King of Pop. I’ve always liked his songs, but American Idol’s finalist David Cook performed a different version of Billie Jean, which was arranged and sung by Chris Cornell. If you all didn’t know Chris Cornell (such as myself), check out this link. Mr Jim Doran has told me that he was the lead singer of Soundgarden, a popular band from mid to late 90′s. Anyway, the Billie Jean version of Chris Cornell is actually pretty good. Just want to share you all that coz I’ve been listening to this song ever since… have fun and take care…

Well, having another alternative besides chemo didn’t do too well. The medication the doctor prescribed to my Dad didn’t work, instead, it gave him allergies and some other complications. Having said that, the cancer has grown again, so, this wednesday, he will begin another round of chemotherapy, but this one is different. It’s the carboplatin and gemzar, and dr said that it’s less painful. So hopefully this one would make the cancer smaller. He also have another appointment for the gamma knife and also a spine mri for his back is hurting just to make sure nothing is going on. Well, pray for my Dad guys! Thanks again…

April Fool’s Day or All Fool’s Day occurs annually on April 1. The day is generally observed by playing a practical joke on a “victim” who soon becomes known as an April Fool. This custom is thought to have started in France during the 16th century but the British are credited with bringing it to the United States.

The commonly accepted origin of April Fool’s Day involves changes in the calendar. At one time, the New Year celebration began on March 25 and ended on April 1. However, in 1582, King Charles IX adopted the Gregorian calendar and accepted the beginning of the new year as January 1. Those who refused to acknowledge the new date or simply forgot received foolish gifts and invitations to nonexistent parties. The butt of such a prank was known as a “poisson d’avril” or “April fish.” <source>

also, happy bday to my bro, Hadji Malacas…

Have fun today everyone!
