Will you stand by me
Hold on and never let me go
Will you stand by me
With you I know I belong
When the story gets told

Good Old Times

Grandpa and Grandma always got very excited when they recalled the old days they were together. They made a decision one day to make it "yesterday once more". So they made a date on the river bank that they used to go when they were young.

The next day, Grandpa got up 6 am in the morning, dashed to the bank, picked up a big bunch of wild flowers before sunrise, waited there for his sweetheart to come. But Grandpa ended in disappointment- Grandma never showed up even after sunset.

Grandpa went home in such anger. He opened the door, seeing grandma lying on the sofa with her pillow. He threw the flowers on the floor and questioned: " Why didn't you come to our date?!!"

Grandma hid her head in the pillow and replied shyly: "Mom didn't allow me to go".

Alice came to a fork in the road...
"Which road do I take?"she asked.
"Where do you want to go?"responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know,"Alice answered.
Then said the cat,"it doesn't matter."

"You've done well.. And that's all I can say.
Well, I'm also satisfied...
And it's not easy satisfying me. So there."

• I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
• I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
• Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
• The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
• Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
• I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
• I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
• Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
• You sound reasonable... Time to up my medication.
• Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

• extras are called talents and are paid P300 the entire day.
• on the other hand, actors get between 10,000 to 40,000
• the assistant director does all the dirty work
• the director has the coolest job but gets his butt kicked too when the show flops.
• actors call sleep a luxury because most of them haven't had a wink for an average of 3 days. Normally though, some would go without sleep for a week. Talk about hard working. they also don't get much privacy and don't get to do stuff that they don't normally do. even as simple as smoking a cigar.
• they pay alot for PR. ALOT.
• they love doing movies more because it's more exciting and less pressuring because at least they get sufficient time to memorise their lines.
• to be an actor, you've got to have super power memorising abilities.
• 80% of Filipinos, at one point of their life, want/wanted to be an actor.
• it's difficult to trust anyone when you're in showbiz. everyone and anyone can be your good friends but they're still your competitor at the end of the day.
• most of them have no regrets joining the industry.
• like he said, he acts for free and gets paid by the publicity he sees everywhere.
• and last but not least, actors are vain. period.

Welcome home, Avie.

• Be 10 minutes past the flight schedule and the last person to board the plane.
• Run around the airport hunting for a money changer and be sent away because they're far too lazy to serve me!
• Be charged a freaking 1,400Baht for an excess baggage of 7kg!!!!! #*@^!

"Do you know what the first thing this city teaches you?"

I shook my head.

"Fear, my friend. Fear."
