Acoustic Music Is Killing My Fingers

Recently got addicted in watching acoustic covers of people in Youtube. I was amazed with the talent that people showcase in the net. I subscribed specifically to Gabe Bondoc and AJ Rafael. If you have spare time, search their names in Youtube. They have awesome original songs and covers.

I myself is a musician. I didnt dedicate my life for music but I like playing every now and then. But with these songs playing in my mind it is impossible not to pickup my guitar and learn their songs. I learned a few great songs now, namely 'Show Stopper' and 'Youtube Star'. There are other songs like 'Gentlemen Don't' and 'Stronger Than' that I wish to learn. My guitar skills ain't super but I guess it is enough to jam pleasantly.

But there is one thing that I lack. VOCALS!!! I don't sound like a noisy gong but I still suck. I want to sound good so badly that I am willing to exchange my basketball skills for a singing voice. And I could say that those basketball skills are pretty valuable to me. Oh! Does anybody know where I could purchase some VOCAL chords??! Haha! Anyway, I will still continue to play and sing. Although my fingers are hurting now and my family is dying 'coz of my voice. Hehe!

well... i admire your desire to learn music and to teach yourself to sing well. there is an existing program called Singing Success which I have purchased, and it has a lot of good exercises to teach you how to warm up correctly and to make singing easier. if you have a good sense of pitch to begin with, this program is definitely worth it. it was pretty hard for me since i'd had previous vocal training (because if you're already 'molded' it's pretty hard to listen to Brett's tips and explanations.). good luck, and thanks for following tidbits! i'll have to post another of my works on it.

Adding New Faith Goals for 2012

The year 2011 is over and I think this is a year that passed so quickly. But why? It is really this fast when you are a member of the working society? Because it went by so fast I wasn't able to keep all the faith goals that I set for 2011. But again by faith I'd like to keep that list and add some more. :) +1. By Faith, I'd like to tithe more that the expected 10% of my earnings/salary every Sunday and learn to bless others. +2. By Faith, I would like to bond more often and mentor the boys (disciples) entrusted to me. +3. By Faith, I can read the whole Bible in a year. (time to get me a new Bible reading plan. :p) +4. By Faith, I will work out, exercise and get into other sports. (I pray for strength, Lord) +5. By Faith, I will memorize the name of the people I meet and successfully match them with their faces. Hahaha +6. By Faith, I will widen my vocabulary and improve my grammar. :( +7. By Faith, I will read more than 10 books in 2012. :) I Pray that God will help me r...

It Is Not Always About Academics

In a recent exchange of text messages with my friend, I was brought to another part in my life when I was in my elementary level. I entered a christian school as a grade 2 student and didn't care much about academics. I guess that is natural for kids at that age. I remember the times that I started learning how to type properly and play games using stairs called "A B C." But one thing that I will never forget is the end of 2 nd grade. It is a tradition that awards will be given to academic achievers and be recognized at the end of a school year. I never felt so left out that afternoon when all my friends we being called since they have achieved high grades. I never knew what my grades were that school year and I bet it wasn't low but I felt that I was a dumb kid. I cried running towards my father when I told him that I was not included in the top 10. I think he said something like "try harder next year" ' coz it was instilled in me that I would do a lo...
