a musing: derivations of a non-conformist idealist

Fingermasks 146-151.  Fab-casting.  Fabulous pod-casting.  Casting ignorance and maladroitness back to the dark bowels of the olden age of discrimination- new heroes with new technologies fighting old evils.  Except maybe swine flu.  Oops, it’s called Influenza A (H1N1) now.  Pronounced “Hay-nee”?  Um…  So, some people are like pigs spreading their personal virus around.  And no [...]

What’s in the name?
On the boat back to Mauban from Cagbalite, there was this guy with his back turned to me and his shirt had this name on it.
So what?  Nothing.  It’s just amusing the first time you see a name part of which might be another word that might mean something else, something kind [...]

I’m writing a new 3-song album.  Titled “Wish You Well”, it should contain 2 new-new songs, 1 old-new song, plus a new-old song.  (And maybe the old-old always-in-the-CD’s-because-everybody-likes-it– “No Goodbyes”.  Really, it’s not saying goodbye.)  The new-old song is “Let Me”, a friendship song that appeared in the first CD compilation, “Let Love”.  I’m planning [...]

This is for you and for you and for everyone who gave away (pieces of) their heart which other people gladly took and then stomped on.  Don’t ask me why after all that you’re still alive.  Maybe you just don’t feel you’re already dead.  Just kidding!  It’s just a song.  A sad song.  Turn the [...]

There’s a war inside me.  It’s been raging for some time.  Sometimes it’s relatively quiet.  Other times, it’s a killing field.  I know how it will end.  But I let it rage.  I’ll get tired.  Eventually.  Like right now.  And I can see the end.  It’s not diarrhea and the end is not me sitting [...]

Milestone.  One of my youtube videos reached 3000 views after just under 13 months.  Funny, huh.  It’s not like it went viral with millions of views.  Still.  Thanks to all who viewed and liked it enough to leave nice comments.  Thanks to everyone who still viewed and finished the clip despite me not really being [...]

Saw a music CD sale at the mall.  My office-mate did some picking for me- mostly singing contest finalists or winners.  I got 7 CD’s all for P400 only!  That’s not even $9!  The three I picked were Pink, Sandi Thom, and Ryan Dan.  I love Pink but I’m not familiar with this particular album [...]

I think RENT was the first CD I bought.  And I loved it!  I loved the songs, the story…  That’s also why when the show was produed here in Manila, I didn’t go see it.  It was like a radio-nut-not-wanting-to-watch-tv thing.  Anyway, this song is pretty cool- it’s actually a duet between this HIV-positive flirty [...]

I should file this under Amazing!  These two are amazing!  And according to their website, their second studio album, Silence Speaks, will be coming out soon.  I just followed them on Twitter.  But I can’t wait to see what songs they will be singing in their next CD.  In the meantime, let’s listen through their [...]

Did you think I was going to post some nude photos of a guy making sandwiches?!?  Lemme check…  Too bad, I don’t have any.  Would probably increase readership, huh.  Instead I have shots of a sandwich stand in one of the buildings I work in.  When I’m hungry in the morning and the usual fast [...]
