It has always been tradition for me
to make a worship song every Easter.

This is another one we used to sing back in High School.
And it was taken from the Scriptures.

Beatitudes
by Mike Balhoff

I had to remix it to make it slower.
For some reason, I always play it fast.

I hope you’ll like my version of it.
I can’t really do justice on how the other members of
our High School Combo Club play the other parts.

So here’s
Beatitudes.

Covered by Yours truly.

HAPPY EASTER!
The one true Christmas.

I wasn’t really planning on this one.
The one song I wanted to play didn’t really want to cooperate with me.
I played this one because it was on the next page of my songbook.

I know I promised not to do anymore videos for a while.
But what can I say?
Making these videos are not as time consuming.

Hopefully when I use Garageband for my song editing
it’ll be more easy and quick.
But I guess I have to get the iPad first huh?

Oh well.
This’ll do for now.

Here’s
I’ll Always Love You.
Music by Michael Johnson
Covered by – Yours Truly.

Another one?
Exactly!
Aren’t you sick of me yet?
Yes!

So am I!

Here’s a cover of “Fragile”
by Australian Artist, Rick Price.
You know, the guy who sang “Heaven Knows.”

Even though, “Heaven Knows” is more popular,
I like this one better.

Because I can reach the high notes on this one.
I can’t on the other.
Well, I can but I have to change my pants a couple of times.

Anyway.
Here’s “Fragile”

(Warning!! Might get loud! Be ready on the volume knob.)

—
My God! Look at that!
I am not pretty enough for Video.
I look like I just came out of Oral Surgery.

I think this is it for now.
We’ll go back to making faceless music.

Here’s another one I had to get out of my system.

That’s Another Song
Music by Bryan White

Here’s another Video post.
An old song by one of my favorite bands.
Depeche Mode’s Somebody.

My good friend, Avelyn requested this song and challenged me to do another Video.
And when I say “challenged,” I meant she pressured me.
But that’s ok.
I can’t say no to a song that means a lot to me.

I remember having this song on constant repeat on my cassette player,
if you guys remember what a cassette player is.

Anyway, Here is,

Somebody
Music by Depeche Mode
Covered by yours truly.

I did it on guitars to have a different feel from a piano.
And Video Recorded on Black and White to have that “Nostalgic” feel.

Here’s a new Song Video Post.
A cover of one of my favourite Air Supply songs.

Don’t judge me! I like Air Supply.
They are one of those bands that everyone refuse to admit they like,
but knows the words to most of their songs and can sing it.

Now I am aware that I am not a professional,
my playing is not the best and my appearance is not nice,
so let’s keep the criticism to a minimum.
Oh what the heck. Lay it on me.
It’s not that I can do much about it anyway.

Still I thank you for watching.

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

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.

Each Day With You –Lyrics

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!!
