Daydreamer - I recorded this track between February and March of 2014. Drum tracks were recorded at #soundcreation stuidos in the Philippines. Guitars, Bass and vocal tracks were recorded at Downbeat studios in Chicago. My good friend and drum hero John Cortez played the drums for this track. #daydreamer #stealingkisses #2018 #music #opm

My Favorite What if

I have decided to release My favorite what if as a single coming this summer. I just hope I get the people that I want to participate in this single. It's going to be just hard as I expected but I got to roll with the punches.

Here are some task on my list.

1. John has to produce a drum track.

2. Get Nick to record a bass demo.

3. Ask Kari Gray of Farewell Continental to guest on the track. (I need my balls so I can ask her! What's the worse thing she can say? No? Lol)

4. Get the apogee jam and blue snow ball condenser mic. (The second best things in life are not also free just like the very best ones.)

Nonetheless it's going to be exciting!

Daydreamer/Misconnx

I'm teaming up with my old spelling contestant pal and dear friend John Cortez to record this songs and relive the glory days for the very last time. Daydreamer project somewhere in 2008 when i started to write songs again and at the same time bought a macbook and discovered the wonders of garageband. Fairly enough to say I was able to reach garageband's maximum potential in terms of recording and tricks you can do and like any other human being who wants to record their material i discovered the undeniable truth that garageband has its limitations. But it didn't stop me because around july of 2009 Hazel Pascua sound engineer of Soundkitchen/Soundcreation did a good job of mixing and mastering a new version of Daydreamer. The urge mellowed down for a while when we moved to another state. I bought a new toy a Line6 bean pod to expand the sound of my guitar but i must admit i love the raw sound of the effects included in the garageband. I continued writing songs and started recording again first i called the project until the wave breaks but i changed it to misconnx (misconnection) a terminology used for people working at the airport. If i recall it correctly it means passengers missing their connecting flights. I know i can and i will finish this project one way or the other. This time no excuses no arguments and if your not on the page where i am at then your out. Here are the possible tracks: Daydreamer Project Close to Summer Daydreamer Eastpack Joyride Jacket Backfire Gaselee We don't feel the same Vibrant Days Covered Walk Takipsilim Manhid Stuck Still Frames Falling Down Misconnx Project Sarah Marco It's the place to be Take over Summer Romance Beautiful Mistake Whisper from Jordan Miss Dynamic The Spot I can't stop thinking about you You and Me Here we go again Violets are blue

Blogging

I haven't blog for a while and here are my top 3 reasons.

1. Laziness - The famous culprit.

2. Facebook - Yeah yeah yeah

3. Writer's Block - As if I really have one.

I'm not sure how to start this thing again but I really want to do it.

Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or by the handle of hope. Nothing in life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.

The Virgin Experience

Last september 12, 2010 Virgin Atlantic flew its last flight from Chicago O'hare to London Heathrow. It was a wonderful experience for me, everything was new and the challenge was exciting. I also met and work with extreme kind of people and yes they are extreme myself included. The good thing about this group is we push ourselves to the limit and learn whatever the outcome is. As my friend Martin would put it no one is perfect but learn as much as you can. Every flight were memories to keep it maybe a good or bad flight still we roll with the punches and tomorrow is another day. Honestly each of us deserve a gold star for putting our best foot forward and for being patient on things that the company were throwing at us because if we didn't had that most of us quit already before it even began. I always believe that hard work does pay and you always reap what you sow. All of us work our butts off for 3 months if ever we gonna get something out of it well it doesn't really matter. A tap on the shoulder and hear them say excellent! Job well done! We want you back next year is enough compensation for a hard work everything follows is just icing on the cake. See you next fall.
