Ako’y Pinoy!
(I am a Pinoy!)

Pinoy is a slang word that we call us Filipinos.
Much like a “Canuck” for Canadians.
Or “Crazy Americans” in uhhh America.

Anyway,
In celebration of the Philippine Independence Day,
I made this cover of a great OPM Inspirational song.

It’s a song by Florante,
a great Folk Singer I used to listen to
back when I was growing up in Manila

It’s a song proclaiming about One’s love for his own language.

My Webcam wasn’t cooperating with me much
while I was filming this, and my Stereo Plug connection keeps on popping.
I am sorry, this is the product of my exhaustion and laziness.
Pardon the mistakes as well.

Here is Ako’y Pinoy.
Music by Florante
Covered by – Ty Martell

Here’s a Video Upload I did over the weekend.
Now be easy with me, it’s my first time.

A song by a Filipino Artist, Mr. Martin Nievera.
And definitely one of my favourite love songs.

Each Day With You

I did a Video Post, to try it out.
To be honest with you, it is way easier
than recording multiple tracks.
I like playing Live.

Plus I wanted this site to grow and offer new stuff.

Thanks again for listening.

Regulation was over, down to Sudden Death Overtime.
Iginla slid down the puck to Crosby, after battling the corner with Suter.
Sidney Crosby, releases the puck onto Miller…

..and then it happened.

A historic Sonic Boom exploded
from every Canadian heart.

CANADA gets GOLD!

I just witnessed the greatest game of hockey
in this new generation.

Crosby removed his mouthpiece,
threw his gloves and stick on the ice,
Team Captain Neidermayer hugs him,
then Iginla hugs him,
then the whole team hugs him.
then Canadians hugged each other.

I hugged my son.
After he repeatedly screams at me for freakin’ him out.

Thank you to all the athletes.
Thank you, Canada.
I am proud to be one of you.

Je m’appelle Tyrone!
and Je suis Canadien!!!!

I paused my DVR and took a snapshot of history.
They might issue a letter to me to take this picture down
due to copyright rules, (I don’t know).
But they might, since they have no hearts and they all work for the devil.

– and a little video to end the Olympic fever.

I have been busy these past few weeks,
with my Birthday trip to Ottawa,
and seeing all my wonderful family and friends, (not to mention how they contributed
to the massive weight gain I have accumulated)
I have not written anything about my favorite Sports event.

The 2010 Winter Olympics.

I know I am so late with this,
But I just got the chance to write this,
right after Canada conquered Russia in Men’s Hockey,
and I am allowing my vocal cords to recover.

I should have updated my site days ago,
But as I have said before, and it is no secret here,
that when the Olympics are on,
I am useless to be around! All I do is watch it.
I am pretty much as useless as a fart in a Jacuzzi!

What? Too gross?

Okay, how about as useless as a belt on a plumber?

No? Still too obscene?

As useless as Tiger Woods’ apology?
Too insensitive?

Well, too bad. I am sticking with that!

I am ending this and take a shower.
I haven’t bathed since we lost to the US in the quarterfinals.
The cat won’t lick me anymore.

GO CANADA GO!!

It is a known fact how much I adore and idolize

Paul Gilbert.

But on this G3 tour,
with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci,
while they were jamming on Always With Me, Always With You,
the clip between 1:09 and 1:37,
is probably one of the best riff phrasing I have ever heard from him.

It’s simple, but it Rocks!

I give up.
I am going to destroy my guitars!
I will never be able to do that!

This jam is so freakin’ awesome,
it makes you wanna slap your momma!

Twice!!

2009 wasn’t as good as I hoped it to be.
In fact it has kicked me right down to the curb a couple of times.
I am pretty sure I was not alone in this.

And as always,
Here I am.
Here we are.

Trying to do better.

Let us try to start this year right.
Start it with LOVE.
(And maybe some cake too.)

Happy New Year to all!!
