REFRACTION and then some...

See ya guys on Oct 31. That's tom near Ruins BF in D House for REFRACTION. I'll be playing along DJ Benjo Marquez and DJ Borja. My band's also playing. Yes I know it's kinda overexposed but it's all for good fun anyway so check it out... DJ's, Live electronica, Bands. Parteh! hehe

Currently listening to Michael Jackson while typing this...

Anyway, I again, failed to continue the whole blogging thing and I really hope I could at least keep this going good. At least something right?

Right now I want to find time to finish my set for tom but work again will take up my time the whole day so I dunno what I can finish. Oh well. That's life. I'm pretty excited about the new silverfilter album. I finally have the final list of songs so t's just a matter of finishing them and polishing them up. I can't wait!!! It's gonna be out this December so watch out for it.

My band, Lovecore, finally got ourselves a manager and a proper roadie so we're now one step closer to our, um, dream? hehehe Getting there. I'm confident about our manager and the move God made for this to happen and I'm pretty sure it's all gonna be rolling from now on for the band. I'm equally excited for this as well.

I'm still continuing my quest for slimming down so lately I've been eating (a little) healthy. It's a start. We have to start somewhere hehehe skipped gym the past week though so I'm hoping to get back on it soon once refraction finishes.

Oh yeah, the Electronica Manila CD is finally moving as well so expect that as well.

I'll keep this short so I won't run out of things to write haha

God bless everyone.

A Nice Feeling...

I decided to post anything related to silverfilter in the yahoogroups as well but for the daily blogging, it's only gonna be in my multiply, facebook, and blogger site.

Anyway, I performed last Saturday at Hyatt for the Rogue Magazine/URCC event Black Tie Brawl. I performed with none other than one of our guitar legends, Jun Lopito, and Radha.

Jun's been a friend for quite a while now since we've done tons of shows together and we're pretty close since we bunked together during one of our long out of town shows before to the point na naaasar ko sya hehehe He's a really fun guy and AWESOME guitar player. I can just wish to be as good as him. Very easy to be with. Quite a laugher and it's a good thing. Masaya kasama.

Now what was nice for me last saturday is actually workin and playing along with Radha singing. It was quite an honor. I used to remember just listening to Kulay back in college and even fronting for them before and now here she was singing on top of my tunes. It was an experience. We were even placed together in one table so medyo kulitan lang the whole night. She's fun to be with. Very down to earth. I even switched to fan mode from time to time asking interview-type questions regarding her days with Kulay. It was funny. I got some pics but I'll upload it next time. For now, that's it. Workin on some new stuff so hang in there.

Hope everyone's doing great!

God bless

Scripture For The Day

"Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong."  Exodus 23:2 NIV  

We sometimes find ourselves being led by the crowd in our decisions from the smallest thing to the bigger things in life. Use your better judgment and the Wisdom you have in the Spirit to discern what's right from what's wrong, even if everyone's doing it. It's not always the right way if the majority of the people are into it. We sometimes have to go "against the flow" as we always say, and be a shining light in the darkness of some crowds we find ourselves in. Be Jesus to them and create your own crowd. You may start alone but in time, you will draw them to what you have inside of you and you can be stronger with a harvest.

Just sharing my excitement for one of my works...

It's 4am surfin the net and I have the TV in the background on Bio Channel (Flip This House)...

suddenly, a familiar intro played on the show. It was all to familiar to me but I just laughed it off initially and pretended it was one of my old tracks. Lo and behold, when the main part came in, it was indeed one of my old tracks!!!!!! It's one of my works which I sold overseas and here I was hearing it for the first time ACTUALLY BEING USED. Ang saya lang isipin... Praise God for the small things He surprises me with...

Thoughts on a tues night...

I really wanna keep up with this blogging thing cuz I noticed it somehow helps me as well. I've got tons of ideas all throughout the day then lose them once I'm in front of the computer or sometimes, the fire to write em down has died down.

Anyway, been haulin ass to the gym for the past 3 weeks and praise God I'm able to. I'm tryin to lose weight and not bulk up at all. I even told the gym that I don't want that. I just want to lose weight. I'm in that slightly insecure stage in my life where I'm not that pleased with my body. It's come to that point that I couldn't even wear some of the shirts I had from before cuz my tummy won't let me. I guess age is catchin up on me... and that is another thing that's been bothering me lately.

I feel like I'm getting too old and running out of time to do the things that I want to do. I know that's a silly thought but that's how I've been feeling the past months. I dunno why. It's like I have to rush everything so I can do it while I'm young and since there isn't progress yet, I get somehow frustrated. I know it's just me. It's just hard.

I recently put in my facebook status, silverfilter is at the crossroads coz I am.

Whattawednesday!

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed cuz I couldn't get any decent sleep the night before and I dunno why. My guess is because of the stress I was to face Wednesday...

Had to rush to church coz I was to play guitar for worship. Was aiming to leave by 9pm  since it normally ends around that time but since the Word was great, it had to extend til 9:30... had to rush coz I was needed at Manong's filinvest alabang by 9:30!

Arrived at Manong's and setup so quick so I could start asap since I was hoping to start by 9:30. I was able to start at 10... Did an hour's worth of chillout stuff/little live. After my set, I was hoping to eat but it took a while before food got to the table to we were able to leave 11:30...

Picked up bandmates in Mcdo alabang around 11:35 or something, then rushed to Petron for Gas and tire checkup... was able to leave alabang around 11:50...

While everything was goin on, I was a bit stressed cuz it didn't go as planned and I wanted to leave Alabang by 11 the latest cuz we had a gig in...

KATIPUNAN!

yes, so we rushed to katipunan coz we had a set by midnight and it was such a blessing we made it on time. Katipunan ain't that far at that time.. it was roughly 11:50-12:15am

So there. after that, we hung out a little to eat and drink our band iced teas and left. Took berns home and dropped off my bandmates in Mcdo alabang... home sweet home.

I know it wasn't that much for some but the very tight schedule and a literal overlap made it so stressful. I was so glad to unwind when we got to Rout 196 in Katipunan.

We did a "No Effects" night and literally changed most of the arrangements for Lovecore songs. we had a blast. we enjoyed the clean tone and the chance to experiment. Even my girlfriend prefers us to sound that way instead of our typical rock sound haha

Anyway, that's it. Tonight I'm off to pasig for the electronica Manila session at 6underground

God bless

ok so I lost my rhythm...

I said to myself I can do this blogging thing and I used to love emailing everything straight from my phone so it'll be up to date. When my phone bill came, I kinda had to take a second look at using it to update my blog. I kinda lost it after that. So here I am typing away on my computer keyboard.

I won't bore you with the past updates but just list down some stuff...

I bought my first tube guitar amp yesterday! I was so excited about it. I dunno why. I kinda felt (and knew) it would spark something and would inspire me to practice my guitar licks more. I actually ordered some new blues books (again) so I can improve my understanding of the blues. I can't shred so I'd prefer feel hehe

I'm currently doing the chillout nights in Manong's in Filinvest alabang every wed 9:30 onwards so feel free to drop by. I'll be here til December!

I'm also finishing my annual BIG project which will hopefully pan out by the end of the week and I can finally buy that Fender Telecaster I've been eying for the longest time haha

Still finishing albums (as usual) but expect a release this December.

So far, that's it for now.

God bless

Southern Style

I recently posted about avoiding blogs in the silverfilter mailing list and i'd just like to clarify early on that any important update or news about my silverfilter project will continue and i'll simply avoid a daily thing which sometimes doesn't have any connection to silverfilter...

Anyway, i'm in Davao now and the other day, i did a short interview for a sky cable show entitled, Southern Style. I simple gave some digital djing overview, some basics and how to's for aspiring dj's out there. It was a fun experience as we did it in my lola's house so my relatives watched the whole shoot and interview. It was great to have the family there backing me up especially up to my grandmother, aunt, and uncles. It was a trippy experience. Good thing i brought my laptop and controller for a supposed gig over here, which didn't push thru but God found a way to make it worth the hassle in carryin it from mla to dvo and back. Unfortunately, it might be just shown locally in davao. But if you are in the area and you get the same cable channel, tune in to channel 13, sept 23 for a trippy tutorial and more.

God bless (",)
