This February, celebrate love month filled with music and love songs. Enjoy every minute with your loved ones. It's very nice and romantic when you play music to your love ones. I find it very sincere and touching. In the Philippines, playing music to the one you love (usually used in courtship) is called "harana". Serenading the one you love. Making her feel extra special. The man looks attractive and sexy when they know how to sing songs and play the guitar. I believe in using songs to say things. Music and love makes this world go around.  Don't settle for flowers and chocolates. I prefer "harana" than any other gifts. Start it now by learning the guitar. Go grab your sheet music guitar. This love month, February, now is the perfect time to pursue someone and make them feel special and wanted. Keep going everyone. Happy Love month. God bless :)

I have this hobby of listening to classical music and instrumental music everyday and I think it helps to ease my stress. It gives me soothing feeling. In a long busy day, when we're caught in 8-hours of work and stuck in an hour of traffic- the only way to relax and escape is through music. Yes, it works on me! And it's very effective. I used to have pop and novelty songs on my phone, but then I deleted it for some reasons- it triggers stress. Then, I shift to listening to classical, inspirational and intrumental music. No trashy words- it's just purely music. It is truly big help to me to get rid of my depression. Played intruments - sax, violin, guitar and piano/ keyboard are some of my favorites. It gives me so much feels. But still I keep and hope that one day I can play my favorite song in a best piano like  yamaha ypg-235 . I dreamed of playing my favorite song in some of the musical instruments. It would be very rewarding when you can play it, record it and listen t...

I was inspired to blog about the new segment in my favorite noon time show Eat Bulaga, it is entitled “Music Hero”. It is a segment of the show that showcases pure talent in playing the musical instruments. No loud singing and blending- it’s just purely music and harmony of the different instruments. There were different kinds instruments were played- some are guitars, drums, piano, violin, flute and etc. For me, it’s a breath of fresh air. It breaks the usual “singing contest show”. I was so amazed that they’d come up a show where the audience will just simply listen the sound of music. The audience and tele-viewers will not feel television contest, but a showcasing of talent instead. The contestants are very passionate in playing the instruments.  I was so amazed on how they were blessed with such great talent. All my life, I’ve been dreaming of learning one musical instrument. Yes, I gave up stringed- instruments, drums and piano, this time, I'm trying to learn the wo...

 Thank God, I got the chance to blog again, since it's a long weekend and it's a holy week. While blogging, I'm also enjoying my night music sound trip. It is very motivational and therapeutic. Listening to the music every  night could ease the feeling of sadness, loneliness, but many times it triggers the feelings. Whatever it is, I just love the feeling listening to the sound of music.Music helps us reminisce some great memories that fades away. The lyrics of the songs could penetrate the deepest portion of your heart. One day, I dreamed to play one musical instrument. I just love the feeling to play an instrument. Forget the people around and simply lost in playing the song. If I could really master the piano or keyboard that would be very fantastic. I would probably bring it where ever I go. With the help of miko case , I could play everywhere. It would be very convenient for me to carry. Oh, I hope somebody could teach me how to play at least one musical instrument. I ...

Who can't resist to stare at this man? The man named Alden Richards- a phenomenal star in the Philippines. This picture is not just a picture of a "pretty boy" or a "boy next door" look, but I can see a guy who is passionately in love... to music. Richards, in the other hand, is inclined to music (as a singer not on musical instruments).  I find it very sexy and attractive if a man knows how to play musical instruments.  I admire him more when he tried to learn the musical instrument  to pursue the girl he loves. Though, it's just in a TV series acting, but I can't stop myself to fall in love to this guy. I can clearly see how passionate and perfect gentleman he is. I just love the idea of the "old school" type of courtship. Where the man serenades the woman he loves. I can see his hardship while learning the instrument. Playing musical instruments is very hard- especially the guitar. You have to press the strings in the other side and strum th...

It's already midnight. All people and in the neighborhood are already asleep. And me? I'm right here blogging at the wee hours of the night. Honestly, there are so many things going in my head right now, –mostly things that I shouldn’t be (spending so much time) thinking about. I just can't contain how I felt at this moment.  I'm being nostalgic and feeling emotional. I feel happy and sad at the same time. Maybe because I've been through some ups and downs this past few months. Or these unexplainable feelings are caused by the music that is playing in my YouTube playlist and its tingling in my ear. As I  listen to some acoustic guitar covers on YouTube, it gives me a nostalgic and unexplainable feeling. I feel sad, in love and relaxed at the same time. The songs were played in an acoustic guitar. The music it creates calms your soul. Music is also therapeutic in relieving stress. I'm very willing to learn any musical instrument-acoustic guitar probably- to ease ...

It's the time of the year again where families and friends will celebrate together and enjoy the cold holiday season. Yes, everyone is expecting for a great Christmas celebration. It’s getting near. One great thing about Christmas season is that everyone is willing to give their time and finances for others to be happy. It’s really rewarding when you see in their eyes (people you've helped) that happiness you’ve caused to them. Christmas season is also the great time to showcase individuals' talents. Christmas parties, fun games, family gathering and alumni homecoming. This lovely season could really showcase individuals talents. Right now, you should start practicing your group or individual presentation. Everyone should take the challenge to achieve excellence. Well, I believe that one must try to manipulate and improve your sound presentation through  sampling rate. This one good tip to practice for an audio manipulation and learn about the digital audio basics. Great ...

Through technology, everything is possible...  We can do many things anytime and anywhere. I am speaking about how technology could make our life easier. I am just amazed how technology continually innovates and upgraded in time. No wonder, this could be mixed in your day to day work or even the things you are passionate in doing. I'll site an example, I discovered a simple, yet a very useful for musicians out there. I just love to share this to guys. I am talking about  digital key chain . I discovered it in one of the site I love and I found it very useful and worth to share. I think everyone has keys, but not everyone has a musical instrument. So, I am sharing this for those who possess both things. I just love the idea how you can come up with a tuner and with your keys with it. The digital tuner makes you in tune with your favorite instruments no matter where you are. It's really a cool gadget anyway. 

One of my dreams, since I was young, is to learn how to play the guitar.  Actually, I had the opportunity to learn the instrument. I tried the different techniques on how to strum the guitar strings, but it is not as easy as I thought. Honestly, I didn’t put my passion in learning that instrument. All I want is to learn it immediately without paying attention about the basic chords and etc. I was having a hard time learning it, so I quit. I am glad that my younger sister fulfilled that dream for me. She started attending workshop in guitar lesson and she learned it immediately. She learned the basic strumming in just two weeks. And now she continually learning how to play through video tutorials and practicing. I wish I could also support her more by providing her a better guitar. I could make her happy if I could buy a fender mustang floor at guitar center. I know she badly want a better guitar. I saw a lot of great acoustic-electric guitars and I think it would really fit to our...

Hi, I just got home from the review center. Well I was really busy and quite pressured for my upcoming board exam this April. This is the last week of our review so I have to sacrifice and extend my time in reviewing. What are the ways that I can do to prepare for the exam? One of the things I do to relax in to listen to music. A week or days before the exam, I have to take some rest. This is one simple way to relax myself. I also wish to buy a 1G SD card for my phone to increase phone memory to download different songs especially my favorite Christian music. For music lovers out there, you may checkout Now 78 . Now 78 is one of the best selling new compilation albums that brings together the biggest hits of 2010. It is a double disc album with different popular tracks with different artists. It also includes one of my favorite songs “Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars. You may purchase it online and listen to the different genres of music. Well definitely music, on how you interpret...

The reason why I continually pursue my talent it’s because of “self expression”. I find myself interested in arts and painting. Since then, I isolated myself and made my own world where all my drawings are my creatures and I am there master. My talents are molded just to satisfy and glorify myself... That is me a decade years ago. Now that I’m fully grown Christian- guided by the Holy Spirit- I find myself more interested in doing things that will Glorify God. By God’s grace, He changes my heart – a heart for arts and a heart to inspire and glorify God. I want to explore more worlds like drama and musical play. Before, I used to work backstage during my high school years- directing a drama or musical plays. But now I find myself in front of the stage “going beyond my limits” (Ephesians 3:21) My heart is longing for something where in I can glorify God in different worlds. Now, I find myself interested in learning to play the keyboard. My sister and I eagerly want to play it. In our ch...
