More on Jake Shimabukuro

Remember Jake Shimabukuro? He's the Hawaiian virtuoso ukelele player I blogged about sometime back with a video of him playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I've been trolling the internet for a while, and in a fit of boredom, went to YouTube for more videos. And boy, do I have videos.

However, one will have to do for now, because it's 2am in Karachi and I need to be up and at work in another 6 hours.

Enjoy, people.

Touched Beyond Words

The lovely people at NBP gave me a surprise birthday celebration (cum Valentine's) just 10 minutes ago.

They are SO SHWEEEET. And I was SO EMBARASSED. :D

It's amazing how people can still surprise me in such a wonderful way. VDay (or, as we cynics call it, VD Day) may just be a mechanism for people to express affection without embarassment, or even as an excuse not to express affection for the rest of the year, but there's something about today that makes us celebrate love, in all its forms and functions.

And so we should. Even if it's within the depths of our hearts, or in the tiny voice in our soul that says Yes, I want love, we should take a moment to cherish all the sweetness that life gives us and let bitterness take a back seat for once.

Happy Valentine's, all.
