I've never been good with words but here is something i want to say to someone very special in my life.
It's been rough... but i'll always be with you... I've been by your side as you will always be in my heart. If i have caused you pain... please forgive me. I did try my best to be the son you could be proud of, and i will always remember you as you were. I promise, I miss you...
Goodbye... God Bless... May you rest in Peace... I love you MAMA

SIKAT ANG PINOY
My latest work include... the Sam Milby album of which i arranged a couple of songs, most notable of which is the remake of the song "Only You" for a korean telenovela airing on ABSCBN. I was at the launching of the album held at a place called eskinita in QC but had to cut it short since Jaymsterbean came and wanted to leave as she doesn't want anything to do with her former officemates. I guess she has her reasons.
I also arranged the song "Sikat ang Pinoy" the new theme song for the Celebrity Pinoy Big Brother. The song was originally supposed to be done by an upcoming band but we ended up using my arrangement for it. It was done rather quickly at home where my MIDI sequencing desktop PC is set up. Then audio data was imported into Pro Tools HTDM at Mixsonic Studios after which the vocals were done by Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga at around 6pm. Vocals were finished at around midnight which left me very little time to do guitars and to mix the song. I'm particularly proud of the opening rift for the song since it reminds me of what Carlos Santana might actually do.
Oh this was on a friday night ... since Celebrity PBB was supposed to air Saturday night.
We finished at around 6AM on Saturday... on my way home to Pasig i noticed the crowd near ULTRA so i guess there was a huge turnout for the Wow Wow Wee anniversary special.
When i did get home i found out about the ULTRA tragedy. That was freaky!!! There was a time when noontime shows provided entartainment for people as they enjoy their midday break.... but i guess times have changed. Now noontime shows have the habit of giving away bigger and bigger prizes in a bid to outdo each other. Is being number one worth all the sadness that happened that fatefull day?
I do know that it will be hard forget the classic "Pinoy Ako" theme but this new song for the Celebrity PBB is not supposed to replace the original theme. The song "Sikat ang Pinoy" is just another statement done by Jonathan Manalo running on the original concept of how "good" it is to be Pinoy.
Already Jon is toying with the idea of making a livelier and happier arrangement for the "Sikat ang Pinoy" theme song... Hmmm i wonder if i'll be doing that one as well.
