“If I was a smile would you turn me upside down?”

This always makes my day!  Buskers in NYC.  I love the music, the WORDS, the people.  Everything in the video goes together so well!  Happy, happy, happy.  I could watch it all day.  I could listen to the song aallll day long.

This is random, but does anyone remember the band that used to always play in Greenhills years ago?  Each of the band members were blind and they all wore white shirts and dark, dark sunglasses.  They had this white wooden box where people could put in some change or whatever they had to donate to them.  They’ve been there ever since I was a kid and my mom always gave me coins to put in the box because she said it was the only way they made their living.

I started seeing less and less of them ever since Greenhills went under new management and they moved the band to a spot outside the malls where not a lot of people passed by, until eventually they were gone.  I wonder what happened to them?

I love cicadas.

There are cicadas in the trees around the mini-park/garden walkway at Virramall Greenhills. Yup, that part that used to be a rectangular pond where you could go fishing for a fee (I really miss the old Virramall, Greenhills just isn’t as fun to visit anymore). I stayed there for awhile to hear the mass at the chapel nearby. I wasn’t aware there were cicadas at all because they kept quiet during mass, but when the priest said the whole “Go in peace” bit at the end, they just started chirping as the people dispersed. So cool, it was like they waited for the mass to end. It just really made my day. Reminds me of mornings in high school- never complete without their deafening sound hahaha.
