It is bad enough that I have anxiety attacks at the thought of my daughters driving alone but throw in factors like drunk driving and texting and I just want to keep them at home safe and sound. I know that’s unrealistic though, as every parent of teenagers can tell you. We talk and we talk about the risks, the dangers, then we close our eyes and pray like mad that all the talks have somehow sunk in.
I ran across this video on facebook, courtesy of Waking Circle with this notation:
PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO WAS PRODUCED BY AT&T AND MADE AVAILABLE ON OUR SITE AS A PUBLIC SERVICE. PLEASE CONTACT AT&T FOR QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU.
this is not easy to watch, but watch it. it will make you think before you start texting while driving. it will make you think before you get in a car with someone who is texting and driving. and, i hope – it will make you STOP texting with someone that you know is behind the wheel.
please – share this with every parent you know, and with every “text addict” you know.
this video was produced in march, 2010 by AT&T.
Share this video with everyone you know. It’s not only the kids who need reminding, even adults who should know better have been caught texting while driving. No phone call or text message can be so important that it can’t wait until you’ve stopped the car.
I must admit, I spend way too much time on facebook. Luckily, I came upon facebook rather late or I would be close to having my life story on there by now. Since today was a really busy day and I didn’t really have time to write, I’m taking this as my video post day.
Have you ever thought how your life would look if you took all your status updates and made a movie out of them? That would be interesting!
I just realized as I was thinking up my favorite love songs, I noticed that a lot of them are associated with musicals or movies. So to finish up the Mama Mia! set I posted another favorite, Honey, Honey.
Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you’re a love machine
Today, I’m moving on to another favorite movie, Moulin Rouge, and these are my two favorite love songs in the bunch:
How wonderful life is now you’re in the world
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you’re in the world
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
I’ve started a cheesy-and-not-so-cheesy-love-song fest on my Facebook page. Everyday until Valentine’s Day I will post some kind of love song that comes to mind. Some are my favorites, some I find funny and some hold special meanings for me. You can take your guess which category each song may fall in
I may not be the only one doing it because yesterday, I found a very cheesy one shared by someone else on Facebook. Unfortunately, it’s a Filipino song and not everyone may not be able to understand it, but you’ll get the idea if you watch the video.
OK, so here’s what I’ve posted so far…
