A lot goin on in my mind...

Pardon the randomness of this one...

Just finished eating 2 slices of Garlic and Cheese pizza and mojos with caesar dip left over from my meal last night. eating it at 5:30 am is grreatt!

The bad... my net was down for a week and without confirmation on the fix, I still await ANY word from PLDT...

The good... I just finished sending my album to a writer for a foreign publication who asked to review Devotion! I can't wait to see it in their pages!!! This is indeed a great surprise from God and it's just the small ones at this point... I can feel it!

Had a nice Sunday. Played in GenCon Church in Taytay Rizal. I very much enjoyed it and it was a great feeling to minister to the younger musicians there. I hope we were able to inspire as well. After that, we had dinner in Shakey's in Ortigas center (since we're RARELY in the area). Then we headed to Makati for a wake of my friend's dad. Learned a lot about nurses. I salute you nurses all over!!!

Now I'm waiting for a video upload on youtube, which I think will take longer than expected (gulp) I wanna sleep already! hehe

I'm just glad I was able to finally send the materials for review. Stay tuned for the update on that magazine!!!

'til then... I'll update very soon!

God bless

The NU107 Against The Flow guesting

I recently visited NU and was a guest for their show Against The Flow...

The DJ, Jordan, has seen me in all my incarnations as a musician from drummer, to vocalist, to guitar player, and of course, as silverfilter. It was a pleasure to finally be on NU as silverfilter. I guess it has always been a goal of mine to be on it. Jordan was very accommodating and the moment I mentioned about the new album and asked if he would be willing to have me and go through the album, he said yes and gave me a date.

The guesting was fun. I think Jordan was surprised to hear the lighter side of me since he's only heard my dance tracks. He didn't know it was an ambient album at all. I was also hoping to go through a lot of the tracks but the time wasn't enough. I really wanted to do a whole album preview talking about the songs, etc but the limit is there and we have to live with it. We covered 3 tracks. It was enough to get even just a few people to take notice. I got someone to visit the site and drop a line saying he heard me on NU. Some of my friends also texted ordering the album from hearing me on air so it's all good.

As usual, I handed some silverfilter pins and stickers, did the usual shoots for photos, and basically had fun.

I'll be at the edgeradio.net this Friday to continue the promotions for the new album. Tune in!

Hermit Week

It's been almost a week since I locked myself at home unintentionally.

I've been sick since Tuesday and I couldn't leave or get out of the house except for Monday when I was still ok and I really needed to go out and get the groceries for the month. The intense stomach pain has drawn much strength from me and all I could do was to stay home and stick to making music, which is not bad at all since I found time to rush on my biggest project for the year. So I was able to work on 5 new tracks for the project. I still have 7 more to go. During the breaks (which I needed of course), I found myself getting back to writing new dance tunes, which is quite  a refreshing feeling. It's been a while since I wrote dance tracks and I guess the long pause in between helped a bit. I managed to write 3 new tunes which I need to finish soon.

Apart from the music-making, I have the tendency to to just let myself be. You know those TV shows where the guy gets locked up in his apartment and his beard grows? I have that tendency... I take a bath of course (duh) but once I get into the "groove" of being busy, I can let my moustache and beard grow and just shave it off when I'm about to go out and mingle with the real world again. I'm just happy to say that in all my years in this life, this is the first time I've lasted without shaving for 6 days. Longest was 4 I think and all my friends know that in just two days, it's more than just a shadow on my face. I like to play with the look and see people's reactions to it but I have a show with the band tonight so I'll be shaving again but my sched is free next week so I think I'll be doing this again. Maybe see how long I can go without shaving haha

We'll be playing tonight in Taytay Rizal for GenCon Church and My radio interview for NU107 is on Sunday already! Busy weekend.

Til Then!

God bless

Latest silverfilter site is finally up!

Hello Friends!

After months of hard work and sleepless nights for the past weeks, I am pleased to announce the launch of the new silverfilter official site. I dub it the silverfilter v4 site since it's the 4th site overhaul from design to content and I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with this new design for a while as I've made it easier to maintain, constantly fresh, and everyone can enjoy the music which is what really matters! The site is literally from my own blood, sweat, and fortunately no tears hehehe It's a VERY personal thing for me. I took all the pictures, did all the edits, designed the whole site, researched on the needed codes, etc... basically, it's truly a labor of love for this little "project" of mine. I'm always reminded by what our pastor said, "times of preparation is never wasted." So regardless of web hits, I believe that God helped me through with the site for a grand purpose :) It might be a little rough round the edges but it's chock full of stuff to keep you entertained.

Without further ado, I present...

I shall be ending my blogger posts from now on

As stated, I will end all regular blog posts on blogger from now on and maintain my blog on Multiply fed into Facebook. Weirdly enough, it's because of the new silverfilter website update. I'm having trouble with the online live feeds from the blogs fed into the site so I had to make changes. I'll use this for GIG updates and reviews :) Cy

still working on the site...

I've been thinking, I think I better set a deadline for launch for the silverfilter website but I'm afraid I don't want to commit too much coz I'm focused on finishing the album for the band and I can't mix up and spread myself too thin these days. I dunno. How does within September sound? haha

Edits

I'm typing another blog since I'm doing some checks on the site since I created a live feed into the site so that visitors can be up to date with everything and not just those who visit my networking sites. Cy

Busy working with the site

I finally have time to work on the rest of the new silverfilter site and I'm pretty excited with the whole thing since it's improved so much from the last one, I can't wait to launch it... really. I've been itching to announce the first draft online just to let people know and witness the progress but I guess I really have to control myself. It's a big learning process as I found myself googling for solutions for some things I wanted to include but it's gonna be worth it at the end. I'm just glad I'm finally creating a site I can easily manage and update at the same time use to interact on a personal level with the visitors and all the people who support my silverfilter project. I'll keep this short as i'll get back to workin on it. God bless you guys! Cy
