Singing for no one

Its been two years when I wrote my first teeny-poppy song which is until now doesn't have a title. That was my first material I recorded using Audacity, its a pretty cool software, multitrack recording, altering songs and backmasking. On what I remember, it was midnight when I recorded the song. When I started to press the record button, I immediately strum, C Major, I put a beat using Cajon and sang the song. Something's missing so I put some back up vox and *poof!* my first recorded song. It was awsome that in that night I used to be a composer, the artist, and the arranger and the producer (haha!). But that is only the B Side of the story. After that single song, I send the material to Jake, my friend, and asked what do he thinks about it. I really dont remember what he said but I think he was amazed. He was too amazed that he setup his bass guitar, putting bass lines in it. He even promoted it and I was embarrased, maybe it's just I'm not yet ready to share it. He named the song Tagalog which I really dislikes, but I used to. Sadly, I don't have a copy of it anymore, a sentimental and priceless song for me. Jake uploaded it at Imeem and put it on his Multiply account, he really wants to promote the song. :D

That song follows my crappy english material (which I later revised) and the must-to-be psychedelic inspired song titled Wonderful were the only songs I shared. But I must to admit, I have plenty of them, though some of them were forgotten.Cause I don't read or write notes, but I'm willing to learn, and it is hard for me to remember the songs mumbling in my head. The only thing I would remember them is to be LSS with it. The other way to remember them is to record it. But I wish I can write it.

I'm not really hoping that my songs would be heard by the whole archipelago, I just want to enjoy myself making music, it's like I'm expressing myself through music and can't live without it, cause music is life. Don't really care if I rock or not, if you like it get it, if you don't leave it. But if opportunity comes, no hesitation, I'll grab it.
I just need a band member =P

Time will come my friend
That all the things you have will walk away
And those things you said
Will be forever lasted whether good or evil

And so my friend
Come closer to me and
Wake up and you'll see
You are dreaming, you are floating

You started to scream so loud
Drunk from morning till night
Wearing a shirt that made you proud
Expect that the world would be bright

Tapos yung chucks kong kupas, kukupasin ko pa.
Tapos maghihidbang ako
At syempre magbebreak out ako sa back stage para, para makita ko si...Ely! sana wala dun si Ney..Ay hinde
Aakyat nalang ako sa 2nd floor sa MOA tas dun ako tatalon
Syempre walang sasalo sakin kaya wag nalang
Tapos magsising along ako tas magwawala sa gitna ng crowd para may maikwento ako kay lola!
Syet sumalangit na pala yung dalawa kong lola, Hi lola!
Tapos pag pagod na ko mag sing along
Mag sisi sing along ako kahit di na kumakanta si Ely
Tas syempre, peace lang tol diba?!
Para lahat tayo di mapraning! mapraning! mapraning!
Tapos, pagtapos na yung concert, tambay muna sa MOA tas syempre uwi na ko
Tas pag nakauwi na ko, manonood ako nga Bandila Channel TUU
Wow, dami pala ng tao pare.
Tatlong oras na puro noise!

Powerpuff Girls meets The Beatles

...or the Beat-Alls, whatever.

Before I sleep, about 1 am, I do watch the Powerpuff Girls to reminisce my childhood days. There are other cartoons besides the Powerpuffs I would love to watch with, Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken on Cartoon Network and Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy on Nick, also includes Kenan and Kel and All That but anyway we're talking about cartoons. OK Lets go back, I was watching Powerpuff, it was like my midnight habbit haha, I actually don't know what's the episode is all about because I did'nt saw the start of the episode. The only time I got it's attention when Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess and the Banjo guy (ok I'm searching his name and his name is Fuzzy) called themselves as The Beatles, I only realized that it was The Beat- Alls. Interesting and funny, I thought Powerpuff is for kids and what the heck? The Beatles? FOR KIDS? Haha, the writer of this episode was probably influenced by The Beatles. The episode contains several references to The Beatles, for example
-crossing the Abbey Road,
-parodied the covers of A Hard Days Night, Please Please Me and With/Meet the Beatles -dialogues containing The Beatles lyrics
-the name of the policeman of Townsville is Sgt Pepper who looks like Seaman Fred on Yellow Submarine Film
-Mojo Jojo met a Japanese monkey named Moko Ono, the background music sounds just like the intro for Strawberry Fields Forever, and later found out that her name is Michelle.
-Powerpuff Girls called Judith from the Zoo as Hey Jude!
-Bed in for peace was parodied
-When Mojo starts to scream loudly, citizen of townsville all holding up their hands to their ears. The Beatles' cartoon guises were also shown.

Here is cap from the episode. I cant find the whole episode in YouTube. I'll try to search it on Mininova.

The Myth of Number 11: Coincidence?

1) New York City has 11
letters



2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.



3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who
threatened to
destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11
letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.



5) The two twin towers make an "11"



This could be a mere coincidence, but
this gets
more interesting:




1) New York is the 11th state.


2) The first plane crashing against the
Twin
Tower s
was flight number

11.



3) Flight 11 was carrying 92
passengers. 9 + 2 =
11


& amp; lt;br4) Flight 77 which also hit
Twin
Tower s, was
carrying 65 passengers.

6 +5 = 11



5) The tragedy was on September 11, or
9/11
as it
is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11



6) The date is equal to the US
emergency
services
telephone number 911.

9 + 1 + 1 = 11.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make
up your
own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside
all the hi-
jacked planes was 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



2 ) September 11 is day number 254 of
the
calenda r year.

Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



3 ) The Madrid bombing took place on
3/11/2004. 3
+ 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.



4 ) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911
days
after
the Twin Towers incident.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make
up your
own mind:
Now this is where things get totally
eerie:



The most recognized symbol for the US,
after the
Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The
following verse
is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia
would
a waken
a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the
Eagle would
be
felt throughout the lands of Allah and
lo, while
some of the people trembled in despair
still more
rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle
cleansed the
lands of Allah and there was peace."


& amp; lt;brThat verse is number 9.11 of
the Quran.


St ill unconvinced about all of
this..?!
Tr y this and
see how you feel afterwards, it made my
hair
stand& amp; lt;bron end:


Open Microsoft Word and do the
following
(TRY
THIS FOR REAL)


1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the
flight
number of the first

plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.


2. Highlight the Q33 NY



3. Change the font size to 48.



4 . Change the actual font to the
WINGDINGS 1

Ordinary Art for Ordinary Man

Ready, Aim, Fire!
Gunshots were heard.
Free as a bird, but where is the nest
Do everyone care and caress?
On the freedom they fought without fear

Is this something you want to attest?
Blessed by God but no contest?
Give me a favor if you mind
Seek the truth and you will find
Bridge of truth were there is nowhere to hide

Red is the color of my skin
Good but vicious
Someday you'll know what I mean
What does a sticker proxy mean?
Not everything has a meaning

Walk the talk
Care to go
There's two paths, where would you flow?
On the hard way but happiness you will see?
Or on the easy way but vicious and deadly?

Fire! Fire!
Will you run or cry?
Blues clues have you spotted the clue?
There is an extinguisher why don't you use?
Better not panic and save the others soul.

Everyday may be ordinary
But they can be extra ordinary
Its up to you if you want it to be special
Or just an ordinary day you used to
Roll your dice, its your turn

-Zion D.Cruz

Celebrating the Birthday of the Working Class Hero

October 9, 1940 - the birth of the legend. A member of a group that change the world. The birth of the Beatles' co-front man, the birth of the walrus, the birth of the jealous guy, the birth of the working class hero - the birth of my music god, John Winston Lennon.

Happy Birthday John! War is Over! The strawberry fields will live forever!

TAGTAGIN NYO MUKHA NYO!!! : The Infamous Tag at the Blog

"Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their ten things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose ten people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog."

DIYES!
Ayoko sa taong mabulong! Yung ba na kaharap mo tapos bumubulong bulong! Ayun!


NUEVE!
Kung naliligaw ka sa Maynila, Text mo ko ituturo ko sa iyo kuung paano

OTSO!
Di pa ko nakakalabas ng Pilipinas.

SYETE!
Maka GMA7 ako pero anti-pGMA ako

SAIS!
Wala talaga akong tyaga sa DotA. Oo naglalaro ako dati pero di ako masyadong nageenjoy. At hanggang "Killing Spree" lang ako, depende pa sa mga kalaban.

CINCO!
Kung may galit ako sa isang tao. Para mapatawad ko sya eh ilibre lang nya ako ng food mawawala na ang galit ko

CUATRO!
Mainstreamist ako pagdating sa music. Kung mainstream ka maaari ko syang magustuhan. Pero depende parin dahil sa melody ko kina-criteria eh..

TRES!
Mabagaaaaaaal ako kumilos pag aalis ako. Kaya madalas naleleyt na ako sa mga appointments ko. Pagsinabing magkikita ng 3pm, aalis lang ako ng 3pm. Galing noh?! At para mahintay nila ako, sinasabi ko na nasa ganito na ako na meedyo may kalapitan na sa lugar. Example sasabihin ko nasa MRT na ko pero pasakay pa lang ako ng FX.

DOS!
Pag lasing ako, dalawa lang yan..Kung hindi makulit, tahimik. Tawa ng tawa saka sobrang lakas ng boses.

UNO!
Jolly person! Pag sobrang close ko sa isang tao, makulit ako. Pero pag yung mga di close and ung mga taong nahihiya ako akala mo napakaamong put@ este tupa.
