It is good to know that not just my son who love to play guitar but also my niece. At their early age, hopefully we can find best beginners of guitar players out of them. Although if we will be given a chance, we love to buy them Yamaha Acoustic Guitars at musicians friend at musicians friend, but according to the guitar school that we have inquired from, beginner guitars still fit them especially the young standard guitar learners.

We consider ourselves music lovers, and part of the proof is almost a big plastic case of cassette tapes as my collection. However, it is seldom that one can find a stereo or any music player in cassette type format. I invested too much in cassette tapes. Some of these are my personal recordings. Hopefully I can convert these all in a CD format so that I can still keep those memories. Even though my my computer is slow, I hope I can still find a better way to convert it.

It has been a while since we last had a chance to watch live performers performing in The Venice Piazza in McKinley Hills. This night was supposed to be a special one because of the three performers which included Rocksteady and Kitche Nadal. It was nice to watch a band performing in an open field at least to avoid the perdomo cigars smoke inside the bars. Sadly, the heavy rain disrupted the performances and the two remaining well-known groups didn’t have the chance to perform until we got home.

We were doing some general cleaning in the house when I have happened to take a glance at my CD collection and previous tapes recording. It was stocked in a big plastic container. When you look at them, it seems to look like a bunch of cd reproduction at disc2day.com because I have personalized the cd covers and cases. I am not sure if those cassette tapes are still working because it has been so many years that I never played them. Hopefully I can transfer them all into cd.

Beyonce was criticized when she sang the American national anthem during Inauguration Day in lip sync. She admitted to this and explained many are also doing this. I remember during our younger years, we would usually see some of our local actresses doing some lip sync during their performances on TV because they know that they really can't sing that good. But lately, local celebrities who are not really singers can even sing live with just an audio adjustment. Some use amps at musicians friend with just mixing and use of sophisticated sound mixing devices. It can turn your voice into a professional singer.

Many are in the party mode especially this month of December. Companies are celebrating anniversaries and thanksgiving parties during this month. Loud music and happy events are all over the place. I wonder if there are sill companies or individuals hiring bands during these days? I remember a family member who was a member of a band before. He would even prepare extra loop pedal at Musician's Friend because they have scheduled gigs almost every night. But today, I am sure Gang Nam style will always be present in today’s parties.

With the month of December coming a few days from now, I am sure that parties will be all over the place pretty soon. Then once the company, family and school parties are all ongoing, I am sure dj equipment at musicians friend would be booked like hotcake. But before that, please try to remember that accidents are also bound to happen due to some people who could be driving under the influence of liquor. Some cardio vascular deaths are also increasing during this period of time. I hope I do not sound like a kill joy but it is true. Just be careful.

The first time I saw her performed in the X factor Philippines during the audition, I already made a prediction that she will win the very first X Factor Philippines. I am referring to no other than a Davaoena singer named KZ Tandingan. With KZ as the its first grand champion of a reality talent show, I am hoping that she will really make her future bright through making her albums mark at the music charts. I hope she succeeds even after this show, and that we will see her in magazines, tabloids, and even in T shirts. I am sure at this moment that people find find personalized acrylic tumblers and other products with her face. 

 Truly, KZ Tandingan deserves the victory. Watch the first grand champion during the reality talent show's grand finals night on Sunday, October 7.

It is a funny thing to know that films or movies did not have volumes or sounds in the earlier times. They usually used live orchestra as background music during the showing. Bach trumpets, violin and other were heard even if it was an action or love film. Imagine how hard it would be to synchronize the orchestra to the action of the movie. Best orchestra was comparable to a digital sound of the movie today.

My son Kyle expresses his desire to learn play the guitar. I think that his interest might have started during our weekly worship services where someone is playing guitar while I am the one playing organ. Anyway, we wanted to buy him a good, reliable one but not so expensive. Currently, his father is searching for gibson acoustic guitars for sale for sale. Hopefully he will be able to learn to play this instrument not just because he likes to play with the guitar.

While the people of Philippines were in tumult and frantic stage because of different views about Lady Gaga’s concert in the country, my family and I were having our family hiatus in one of the hotels near the concert venue. We have not yet experienced the volume of people coming in the place. My husband was busy taking pictures of the place. He even took photos of switchplate covers and lightings of the room. 

 On the other hand, some people who were interviewed like such as the fans of Lady Gaga have defended her. But eventually, all the anti-concert demonstrations still pushed thru.

The music industry all over the world and not only in US are in shock by the sudden death of one of the music icons Whitney Houston. Some report said she died from mixing a cocktail of Xanax and other powerful prescription drugs with alcohol. Her body was found in her hotel room bathtub. With her death, many people also observed that the record sales also increased. There are even some news that her previous movies will also be shown again in some cinemas and movie theaters. I’m sure Whitney Houston’s records are bought like Collector’s Items like people buy gold coins online from Golden Eagle. Hope the people will always love her.

My husband used to tell me a story about their family who used to manage a band before. He would tell me how the dining area of his house was being used as a small stage with all the band instruments, amplifiers and speakers scattering all around. Maybe that made him a music lover especially if there’s a band practicing almost everyday in front of his room. Imagine the drums beating and jim root telecaster guitar amplified with big speakers in front of your room.

My husband and I can be classified as music lovers. We are believers in the saying that “Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.” It is no wonder to me why our son has been showing signs of appreciating music, too. How we wish to see him play a music instrument someday. Yes, even to play the guitar and to sing acoustics with his lace pickups around his neck in the future.

My son Kyle loves to listen to Israel Kamakawiwo's old songs especially his version of “What a Wonderful World and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. Before he sleeps, we would attach surround speakers to his ipad and play these songs repeatedly until he dozes off. We created a play list of these songs and we just added the version of Louis Armstrong. Play list of songs keeps on repeating for more than three times every night before he sleeps.

I am enjoying watching the new TV reality talent search the X factor. In here you can really discover new and unexpected types of talents of some people in some parts of United Sates. I am sure this will really be a great big hit not just because of the five million dollars at stake but there’s something about this reality show that you can’t resist watching. Especially with Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul as judges. Plus the new judges and most of all the X factor of new talents that just waiting to be discovered. Although you can’t avoid those who don’t have any quality in them but still self-confident bursts to audition. There seems to be a need for a Quality Assurance Specialist Jobs for them. But you can’t stop them as they are the spice of the show.

Maybe it has been natural to all parents to be able to compose a song for their babies. Even their babies are still inside a mothers womb when they can only hear it from a baby monitors. You can’t stop a mother from singing a song for her baby. I remember my husband has composed a special song to make our son Kyle sleep. That’s a usual song that made our son sleep until he reached the age of four.

It really touches me every time I hear Jose Marie Chan’s song “No rewind No replay” There’s no

rewinding nor replay in life. I especially like the following lines:

Time flies so fast. I see my son in his Kestrel Backpack and ready for school. I can’t imagine those times when I first saw him after giving birth, the moment when I first saw him smile and the moment when he started to talk and called our names. Do the best you can and give the best for him with as much care and love because these are intangible treasures you can’t buy with all the money in this world and you can’t buy back time. You can’t even kiss and hug your kids as what you usually do when they are still small once they have grown up.
