New Song Added – Maging Sino Ka Man

·

Alright. I came up with this one.

It’s an old Filipino Classic and definitely one of my favourites.

Maging Sino Ka Man, by Mr. Rey Valera.
The literal translation would me “Whomever you may be.”

The song’s message is
“I would love you whomever you may be.
I don’t care what your past was,
and whatever anyone says is not important.”

I just used some backing drums from a Midi file I found
and I replaced the acoustic guitar with piano,
and the solo Saxophone as solo electric guitar.
I like how that one turned out.
Gave it a bit of a “Rock feel.”

I can’t do anything with the vocals though.
That’s what I came up with after a good 39 takes.
That’s just gonna be as good as it gets.

So here’s Maging Sino Ka Man
Music by – Rey Valera
Cover by – Ty Martell


Hope you like this one.

Where to begin?

· 1 Comment ·

I have so many songs I would like to do and record.
I just don’t know where to begin
or which one to do first.

I have been playing a lot of Piano lately though.
I don’t know why.

First, I thought it was because I have been feeling quite sentimental these past few days.
I thought it was the nice, soothing sound the piano makes.
How the calming notes and melodies resonate through my ears.
Touches my soul.

I thought it was that.

Then I realized,
It was because
I was too lazy to change my guitar strings.

It’s a lot of work!

Man.
I need a roadie.

New Song Added – Guitar Man

Guitar Man
by Bread



Mobile Player here:

I remember the first time I heard this song,
I was in my room, contemplating the meaning of life,
conjugating verbs, solving math problems
and understanding the universe,
I said to my self,
“Wow, this song is pretty cool.
I would give anything and sell my soul
to become a real Guitar Man.”

Following my dream of becoming a real musician.
Being able to play music, as long as you please.
From one place to another,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year,
365 days, 52 weeks,
525,600 minutes.

I don’t really know where I was going with that.

What I am trying to say was,
now that I am older,
I realized that
I am glad I didn’t sell my soul for musical talent.

I would rather have a gorgeous body and chiseled good looks.

Screw talent!
Beautiful people can get away with anything
and get whatever they want.

That’s the lesson for today.

I have no clue what I am saying here.
I am an ass.
And a loser.

Are you still reading this?
Why are you still reading this?

How do you like it?

Yes, I did change the intro page.
Complete with a disclaimer and everything.

I am tired of that Flash animation crap that doesn’t really do anything.
Plus the “Enter” text button doesn’t work with Internet Explorer 6,
no matter how much I tried to fix it.
Microsoft hates me.

So I guess,
Welcome to denofmusic.com version 3.1

I am also working on the other pages.
Trying to re-design the “Photos”,
And trying to add more songs in “Chorus”.
(which was the real reason why I started this site)
Now it’s just full of crappy writings.

Anyway.
Speaking of IE6,
It has been more than a year since I made the switch to a different browser
and mail client.

With all the security vulnerabilities of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express,
and the way some sites hijack your browser preferences,
and execute malicious scripts,
I sure am glad I made that decision.

Here are some proof:

Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Article 4

The interwebnet is a very crucial part of my day to day activities.
Besides email, this website and some unmentionables,
I also manage my finances through it.
(Well, when I say manage my finances, I mean manage my broke-ness)
So, I’d rather be on the side of caution.

I still use IE6, for those websites that can only be viewed by it.
Because some people enjoy being attacked for some apparent reason.

Mozilla tops my list. I highly recommend it.
(Especially the “tabbed-browsing” feature.)
Although “Firefox” and “Thunderbird” are really getting very useful. (and fast)

I know some people don’t like change,
I was a little apprehensive and hesitant too at first,
But for your security and peace of mind, it’s really worth it.

Check them out.

So, I hope the new Intro works for you guys.
Let me know what you think.

I better finish this,
because my laptop battery only lasts 38 minutes.
I (want) need a new one.
Stupid laptop.

Oh and,
Happy 2 Months, honey!

Check this out!

I have been working as a Network Instructor for more than 2 years now.
And for those of you who work in the Hi-Tech field, you know how fast this business grows.
You know you have to have the latest skills.
You have to know the latest softwares and applications.
You have to have the latest tweak on your system,
the latest patch, the newest programs.
You know you always have to know more.

Just because I teach this, does not make me better than anybody else.
It does not make me superior to all the students.

Yesterday, a student of mine came up to me and asked me for help.
It was about a topic that I am not very fond of myself.
So we talked about it and we tried to go step by step.
He figured it out, and showed me other ways of solving it too.
By the end of our conversation, I think I learned more from him than him from me.

To me, the real knowledge in this business is how you figure things out.
Not taking advantage of anyone around you, or not taking advantage of the system.
And when you do know the answers, and when you know you have more knowledge.
Keep it cool. No tooting of horns necessary.

You never know, you may learn something from them too.

If two people share answers, they may be both wrong.
But if two people share ideas, then they will be both right.

I have no idea what I just said.
