Monuments And Melodies

It's funny. Before I left the Philippines, I made a compilation of Incubus(i know the name is not good, i personally didn't like it) songs in an MP3 format and I titled it myself and called it Monuments and Melodies. Which is one of their songs but was not in their albums. Then just a few days ago, I read in an article thru online that Epic records is coming up with the much awaited Incubus Greatest Hits CD and they titled it Monuments and Melodies! Isn't that amazing? I thought that's an appropriate name for a greatest hits album, and so do they. Oh well, i just thought if only they had come up with a contest like "name that greatest hits album" I could have won, ha! I am sure Brandon came up with the idea and I said to myself, " hmmm...artists really think alike!" This 2 disc album will come out in June and the group will have another world tour i suppose. They will have two gigs here in Florida. One in Tampa and one in Miami. And both are too far from where I am(daytona). So, no concerts for me. I have seen them twice in Manila anyways so it's alright for me. Probably, and more likely I will get the "real" Monumenrs and Melodies myself soon... Kudos!

Daytona Bike Week

It may probably late but oh well, I know I should post this. I got to work during the bike week last Feb.27 to Mar.1. It's all new to me since we don't have such thing back in my hometown in the Philippines. Although there are groups of different bikers but not a particular bike week exclusive for bikers. Well, i got to work in Patch Stop (the name of the store) which obviously sells patches and some stuffs for the bikers. And my job is to "sew" patches for the bikers. It's funny because it was far way different from what i used to do, which is animation. But, still it has to do with hands, ha! I am not a real seamstress either. I just learned to sew during high school and took "dressmaking" as my vocation. It was fun yet very much "pressured" because when the customers starts to line up and they were all around you watching you sew adds up to the pressure. Not to mention the sun is up and my sewing machine is right in front of the booth and i have not enough shade that i actually got "sunburn" bigtime! But totally it's fun. They have these bad impressions about bikers that probabaly because of their "tough look" and like Steve said that bikers used to be somewhat like a gangster type of thing. But not anymore. It's more of a hobby now specially i noticed most are retired militaries. And it's nice to get to know them too. Their backgrounds, where they came from, their accents and such. Now i get to distinguish which is the so called "southern accent". Well, there's a lot to tell. But here's some photos i took... I worked with Sunny. She works on the cash register. And it's nice because almost all who worked are sisters and brothers from our congregation. The owner of patch stop just simply trusted the Witnesses, which is neat i thought. Until next time....
