Memphis Memories (Part VI) - Elvis is Alive!

...continuation

Next stop is the memorabilia room. Here, you'll see his awards, his clothes, pictures, and lots of posters and newspaper clippings too.



My reaction was: WOW. How can one person win soooooo much. The whole gallery is filled with memories and even tv interviews and performances were showed. He is such a charming guy. :)

The last stop is the family mausoleum. Just one tiny trivia: I was surprised to know that Elvis had a twin brother, his name is Jesse Garon. He died at birth. Initially the family was not all laid to rest here, but due to security (there were several tomb-thieves incidents reported before) reasons, their family decided to get the remains from different locations and have them all placed in Graceland.



It's nice to see that  a lot of people still leave presents and pay their respects. There's this one stuffed toy that really looked soooo cute, I wanted to take it home kaso baka multuhin ako ni Elvis. =/

Rest in peace King of Rock. Thank you for sharing your talent and music. :)

This ends our Elvis-series of posts. :) Hope you enjoyed it.

CARPE DIEM!
I'm out.

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away. My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman , we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p) Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most " Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan. " My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. ...

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...

Alone.. Not alone!

If there's one thing I'm thankful for when Arvic finally found me (or when I finally found him :P) is that now I get to share all my craziness with another person. It's not that it wasn't fun being single and all, it has its perks too. But having someone to share random dreams, wants, weirdness and plans with doubles the fun ;D Sudden rush of mushiness ha? Excuse the cheesiness of this post but it's because I just attended a cousin's wedding over the weekend. Here are some pics. Wedding was at Tagaytay. Church was Our Lady of Lourdes I think. Then reception followed at Hotel Kimberly. :) Love love love! Congrats Mark and Diane! Beautiful intimade wedding ;) Here we are waiting for our turn in the photobooth. Me alone... Me, no longer alone... Carpe diem! I'm out. :) posted from Bloggeroid
