singers and songs of the day

1. Melanie Martinez. watching Mr Potato Head. my eloquent student named Deo suggested this chanteuse. Whoa, with socio-medico lyrics: How did you afford her surgery/Do you swear you'll stay forever?
 I thank Deo The Banter Man/ The Dance Arts Learner for this artist. I have Alanis. Now, I have this Melanie.

when my elements and earth's elements fingerwoven into one


IT was the most changing day; brazen-sky-now-overcast-next; the clouds and the sun with the winds trying to be the third wheel of the creation.

IT was also the most adventurous day of my life. No, I did not challenge my phobias and my neurosis. But more of like the compass variety like I wanted to go to this most-visited part of the island (aside from bazaars, bars, and boats!) I am talking about the Rock with a grotto of the Virgin Mary...

At this point, manners matter. Unleash your friendly vocal tone as well as your gesticulation ala Pollyanna and people-savvy politicians to the local "motorela" driver. I am a Southern native speaking Visayan so I have to shit er shift to "Tagalog" to have this common communication line for the progression.

I can't imagine that we arrive to the place after some insanely undulated road parts going there with dust and more dust particles. Are we in some desert? My niece and I are thinking to buy some ice cream we saw earlier. She craves: that ice cream and photography on old, rugged man. Joke. She loves to capture chaotic junk, dilapidated facades, and so on.


IT IS when YOUR tip of the tongue presses into the bottom front teeth (the shorts and longs of life)

OK, folks, /ae/ remember that symbol and you will go far...ooops! far is /f a: r/. I hope that through this video and your vicissitudes on that particular sound would be settled for good. Put some funny images in your mind to every word so that you can have an effective utterances the next time you utter and mention that er those words. Good luck, roaring rock!

going to class, going to the depot

The speaker I like her because she is good at what she is doing. Her smile is not fake. She studded her talk with jokes which is double thumbs-up for me.

These are the bits of her talk when my butt, bile, and brain were amused: she mentions the crude days of referencing---back in the day where a teacher would threat students about index cards and its size and neatness AND you must have THE PARTS: author, year of publication, etc.

Depot means I am walking around er along its path like side ways then cross the street then side walk. It also means sticking a gadget to my ears for music: chili con carne, ivy violan's classic, kevyn lettau, gloria gaynor, what else?

There was a trio of military manning the post to check the passing vee er vehicles!
