Happy Talk!

I haven’t chat in a long long time but today I had a short chat with Anil, an online buddy.

I have not installed any messenger in my computer at home after it was reformatted by my brother—No Yahoo, no MSN no ICQ! I have not removed ICQ from my office machine though– NO, I haven’t used it in a long time and I am always in Invisible mode. I just like to have it running on background since it has an option to have your favorite buddy's name floating on your screen. However, instead of a floating name I changed the box to contain my prayer intention which I placed in the praying hands of Mama Mary which is my desktop. That way I get to pray even if I am not really praying (Does that make sense???)

Anyway, back to chatting. I really did not chat long, just a short hello from my Indian friend to say how his family was, some updates on the books his daughter “commands” him to read... and on my part, some encouragement on his writing… However, that short chat made me recall the fun and marathon chats I had before with my favorite online buddy. It also made me think of a "happy talk" song from the movie South Pacific (ahh that was such a long time ago but I could still recall the big native woman singing with her hands)

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

Talk about the moon floating in the sky
Looking at a lily on the lake
Talk about a bird learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make!

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you come not have a dream come true?

Talk about the sparrow looking like a toy
Peeking through the branches of a tree
Talk about the girl, talk about the boy
Counting all the ripples on the sea

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you come not have a dream come true?
Talk about the boy saying to the girl
Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cuss
Talk about the girl saying to the boy
You an' me is lucky to be us

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you come not have a dream come true?

If you don't talk happy, and you never have dream
Then you'll never have a dream come true!
It's good idea, you like? Ah ah ah!

Okay if you know it and wants to sing-a-long too just click HAPPY TALK :-)

I don't have happy talks, I mean chats anymore with my favorite buddy but I still have the memory and my dreams... happy talk, keep talking happy talk... Ah ah ah hmmm...
