People I wish to meet

My Olongapo holdiday getaway has never been better. This is my last day of "homiee rest" because I'm leaving for Manila this afternoon. Happy happy happy has been the theme of my day. I immediately went on to my morning habit of grabbing a glass of warm water, to get my internal organs ready for my ecstatic day, as I woke up at around 9am. Then I played a little with Mimi and Momo (our 3month old shih apso puppies). I rushed to the living room to find out my brother, Juancho, watching the repeat of "Happy Feet" on Cartoon Network. The movie got my happy cells pumping and jumping (haha! if those are appropriate terms to use).

After Happy Feet, I ran to the computer and started playing my favorite karaokes on youtube. I've been singing Utada Hikaru's songs the whole morning because they are sooo beautiful. Then I thought, I want to meet her in person! Not only that, I wish to sing with her and sing her beautiful compositions. I'm not a JPop person and I only know two Utada Hikaru songs: First Love and Flavor of Life. I'd been singing these two songs the whole weekend! I'm soooo in love with these songs. I googled the original lyrics and the English versions. I enjoyed the English version of First Love but, sadly, I couldn't find a good English version for Flavor of Life.

Anyway, as I thought of wanting to meet this amazing Japanese singer-song-writer-musical-arranger, I realized, "Hey! I can write a blog about this!" Besides, its not just her, I realized how many great people I wish to really meet! A lot have inspired (and alienated ^_^) me and I'd like to thank them personally for what they've done to me, for bringing the freak out of me, for letting me be this grateful geek that I am now. Unfortunately, I won't be able to meet Michael Jackson. But I can still thank his family and his mom for the inspiration of the person that he was. Anyhow, below is the list of great persons who have touched and infuenced my being, those I truly admire, those I want to know better, those I wish to work with someday, and those I simply want to meet, greet, and look at. These are random names that come out of my brain and there's no certain order:
