Dark Shadows is a 2012 American horror comedy film based on the 1966–1971 gothic horror soap opera of the same name. The film is directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins, a 200-year-old vampire, and Michelle Pfeiffer as his cousin Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, a reclusive matriarch of the Collins family. ~ wikipedia
My kids have not seen most of my relatives on my father’s side of the family. So they have no idea what they look like. I told them that most of them are good looking because their grandfather (or great grandfather) was of Spanish descent. Even my father has an aquiline nose, unfortunately I didn’t have his good looks. lol. Besides the good looks, another thing that my half-siblings and cousins share is their love for music. Most of them play the guitar well. I won’t be surprised if they know a lot about guitar and gator accessories. I’ve mentioned from a previous post that I even tried to learn how to play the guitar, but I didn’t find it easy so I gave up. I wish my kids would have the same inclination for music as my half siblings do.
My daughter will be in college next year, but this early we are scouting for universities where she can take an entrance test. I am a product of a state university and I wish my daughter will be able to enjoy the benefits of studying in one, including the subsidized tuition fee. I still remember paying less than $15 every semester. I’m also looking at this state university in Quezon City. Hubby and I wish that we can send one (or both) of our children there. I’m reading related information about this school and I’m glad that one of my friends whose daughter is studying in the same university is generous to share tips on how we can prepare for the entrance test.
I’m also considering other schools in Manila and checking on their websites and affiliate program to know the schedule of their entrance test come June or July.
My daughter and I are thinking of selling personalized bookmarks, shirts or cloth bag with her drawings as design. The idea of teaming up with my daughter came when we were discussing about potential source of income for our family. I told her that I can provide the materials that she needs while I’m leaving up the designing to her. We’ll probably ask around to know what design is popular or appealing to young people. My daughter is also willing to accept portrait design from clients. If someone wants to add the image of backwoods cigars to the design, he doesn’t have to buy backwoods cigars for reference; we have the internet as vast photo source for the image.
My daughter’s friend on Facebook requested her to draw Jimmy Page. I don’t know anything about Jimmy Page until I read about him on wiki. James Patrick “Jimmy” Page, is a musician. He is an English guitarist, songwriter, and record producer.
It’s surprising for a young girl like my daughter’s friend to admire a popular heavy metal rock band. Jimmy Page founded Led Zeppelin, the English rock band that popularized “Stairway to Heaven” in 1970s.
Page began his career as a studio session guitarist in London. And for sure he must have used several types of guitars, including axl guitars in his entire singing career.
Just learned today that hubby is a big fan of Led Zeppelin.
