Recovering

I have learned 2 things since my surgery.

It is not a secret here that I have severe back problems.
I have ranted and blogged about it many a times.
Hopefully this procedure will be the last you’ll hear of it.
Quite frankly I am sick of hearing about it too.

It has been 5 days since the day they opened me up
and since then I have learned 2 very important things.

First, My family and my friends are my support group.
I would like to thank all of them for their patience,
their care and love.
As much as it hurts, they make everything all right.

And Second,
Who would have thought changing your underwear uses so much back muscle?

No Day But Today

There’s Only Us, There’s Only This
Forget Regret, Or Life Is Yours To Miss
No Other Road, No Other Way
No Day But Today
(Jonathan Larson)

From the musical “Rent”

Sometimes, The universe will align
just so it will follow what you have been yearning for.
And today is that day.

No regrets.

Hiatus

Am gonna be out of town this week,
and will be out of commission in the next couple or so.

I just need to take care of something
that has plagued me for the last 10 years.

Hopefully it’ll all work out.

I’ll still try to keep on tweeting, check me out there.
Also update my Status on FB. Add me there too.
Check out the crazy videos on my YT Channel.
Oh and I am also on G+. Drop me to your circle there.

Once this is all done,
I’m gonna have to bring back the music on this site.
That was the real reason I started this thing.

I know they’re not that great, but my friends like it.
Because they are not terrorists.

Maybe you should like it too.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July, U.S.A.!
Be safe with the flames.

I can smell the barbecues starting,
the flooding of beers in the streets,
and the blasting of Sweet Home Alabama in every corner.

Happy Independence Day to you!



“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor;
it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
– [Martin Luther King Jr.]

Canada Day 2011

Happy Birthday, Canada!
You look awesome at 144 years old.

I know I live in the States now,
but I still consider Canada as my home.

Even though we had our share of misunderstandings,
we sure did have fun times.
I still want to thank this country for helping me shape my future.
And the chances it has given me.

From my Family to yours,
Happy Canada Day!

FlashBack Friday

I have always thought of adding a FlashBack Friday Category here
to reminisce some of the music that I have played, and I realized that there are a lot.
They are not all worthy of reminiscing but they are still my versions and they were a part of me.

Plus, I want to try to change the music interface to support multiple browsers, including mobile platforms.

So, Let’s start with a Flashback to one of my favourite covers.

My version of Eric Johnson’s
Cliffs Of Dover.

Manila Day

Araw ng Maynila

Today we observe Manila Day in the Philippines.
This is the town where I was born,
where there lived a man, who sails the sea.
(Any reference to a Beatles’ song about a submarine is purely coincidental.)

This picture is from my good friend, Maita.
I was supposed to post that back in the celebration of Philippine Independence,
a couple of weeks ago.
I just never got around to it.

Seems like this would be another chance for me to post it
instead of waiting another year.

Quotes of the day

“To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.”

-[Author Unknown]


And this one from a good friend.

“The heart can only break so many times.
After that, the pieces just wouldn’t fit anymore.”

– [E. T. Santos]

New Comments

Don’t mind me.
I’m trying out this Comment integration with FB.

–Let’s try this out for a couple of days. See how it goes.
Thanks.

*UPDATE
I don’t know.
It looks dirty and clustered.
I’ll give it a couple more days.

Jamming with the kid

Sometimes my son just joins me when I play.
This was on Father’s Day, 2011.

He didn’t want to do the whole song but,
I was lucky enough to have him sit down this long.

Maybe someday I’m going to have to bribe him.
