Thank you.

·

Thank you to all my family and friends
who took a moment out of their time
to wish me their greetings.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Another year.
What can I say?
So much have happened.
What have I learned?

I suppose I can say
“I have learned that we are all responsible with the choices we make.”

We have to realize that it only does not affect our personal outcome,
but also how it affects the people around us.
Whether they are directly involved with our decisions or not.

Funny how life works huh?
Some of its lessons are harsh.
Yet here we are.
Trying again.
Hopefully wiser.

Here’s to another year.

Thank you so very much.

It never ends

Now with one simple plug in update,
none of the players on individual pages work.

This site is driving me nuts!

Oh well,
at least the Chorus page still works.
Except for mobile devices, I guess.

That’s if you want to listen to the songs in here.

Alright,
let’s go back to the drawing board.

Board? Check!
Plugins? Check!
Keyboard? Check!
Vodka? Double Check.

Go!

-Update
Wait! It works.
Must be my browser then.
This vodka is messing with me.

Donation Time?

I must admit,
I haven’t gone to Church in a long time.
I tend to avoid places where I have expressed anger or grief.
But that’s not what this post is about.

This post is about something that made me embarrassed
about the Church we went to today.

It may be hard to believe,
but I do pay attention on the part where we listen to the Gospel
and I try my best to really understand the Sermon afterwards.

Last Christmas

· 1 Comment ·

I covered this song for Christmas of 2012
but never got the chance to post it here.

Pasko Na Sinta Ko
by Mr. Gary Valenciano
Voice and All instruments by – Ty Martell


This is one of my favourite Filipino Christmas tunes.
But, I don’t know, it’s more like a Love song, honestly.

Anyway,
It was a big hit back when I was still living there
and I am sure everyone there knows this one.
It has been revised and covered hundreds of times.
And now I am one of them.
Because I want to be just like everyone else.
That desire of the feeling of “belonging.”

I succumb to Peer Pressure a lot.

I’m lonely.

Music Throwback Thursday

This came on my Music Player while on shuffle.
I forgot how this was on my head for a long time.
Figuring out how to cover it and arrange it with my own little musical touch.

Check it out.

Ako’y Sa’yo Lamang (I’m Only Yours)
Music by : Xian Lim
All instruments and voice by : Yours Truly

I found it

Goodness!
I finally found the thing that causes my site to be slow.
It’s the Facebook “Like” and Twitter’s “Tweet This” plug in.

Those two are punishing the load time down to a crawl.
It’s my pathetic attempt to be “cool” and give in to the pressure of
integrating everything with those two popular social site.

I didn’t want to get rid of it since, I use the “tweet this” quite often
and I have a lot of “likes” on some of my posts.
But, hey! I can’t have them hindering my progress.

I’m kidding. I have no idea what progress I can do on this thing.
But I sure am gonna try.
I don’t give up easily.

Hold on.

I’m trying out other Music Themes.
I like this one but the Comic Sans Font is driving me nuts!

I can’t figure out how to change it yet.

What do you guys think?
Never mind. Don’t bother.
I might change it again.

I’m so indecisive, it’s maddening!!

Nah! You’re right.
It’s too gray.
