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

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.

A Music Poem

The earth has its music for those who will listen,
Its bright variations forever abound;
With all the wonders that God has bequeathed us,
There is nothing that thrills like the magic of sound.

I just saw this today.
I couldn’t find who wrote it. (Not Shakespeare)

I just think this poem is beautiful
and it’s worth sharing.

No words..

No words.
There are no words for this unspeakable crime.

I really don’t care what your political views are.
I really don’t care who has the right to have a gun.

Children are dead.
We have failed them.

We all lost.

Sleep now, little child.
