Mixing Room

As i get older but not necessarily wiser... i tend to look back at certain events in my life.
Does one only remember the good memories or the good things that have happened in their lives.
My opinion is that everything every event has happened for a reason. Like a piece in a massive puzzle every little thing is a part of the whole.
There are a lot of things i have done in my past that I do regret, wishing that things did not happen the way they did. As i am sure everyone has skeletons in their closets as well. Of course, there are things that i am thankful for.
Then again i realized, though a little bit in my life, that things will never work out the way you want them too. One just has to learn to swing with the punches, to roll with whatever that comes your way, to simply survive.
I've just had a hard day today... a long day.
Perhaps that is the reason for the tone of this blog post.
As i lie down and go to sleep
Tomorrow will be another day
Another piece unveils again.

Aiza Seguerra's full length album for Star Records... Aside from my recording and mixing chores.
I do play guitars on this album which is turning out to be an album with participation from the country's premiere guitar players... like Cesar Aguas and Rick Mercado... arrangements from Jun Tamayo who himself is a fantastic player. Four of Aiza's songs are being produced by Mike Villegas, yet another talented guitar player and songwriter. Oh, i am producing a couple of her songs as well... Jonathan Manalo has been kind enough to trust me on some of her songs.
You can hear my guitar work on a song written by Jon entitled "Para sa yo"
what makes this song unique is that it has two versions... the full version was arranged by my good friend and bandmate Paulo Zarate of Studio Z Productions.
and another version featuring Aiza on vocals and guitars...
yep Aiza actually agreed to play guitars on this song, something which she rarely does on her albums, which strikes me as kind of odd since Aiza is a VERY GOOD guitar player.
this acoustic rendition features Aiza and myself on guitars.
Both of us use Taylor Acoustic Guitars but Aiza's Taylor is a " to die for " model
hehehe
I'll take pics as soon as i remember to do so
I guess age has dulled my memory in some ways.
errrr... excuses, excuses

Well, woke up really early since Gina wanted to have a day off. Gina has been with us for a year now and she does take day offs only very rarely so i said it would be fine since i had errands to do in the morning. I went to the Petron Station on C5 to have an oil change and spark plugs changed on the Pajero. Found out though that the ac belt needed to be replaced but being a sunday, there were not a lot of car parts stores available in Pasig. I just hope the belt holds till i get it changed. Got home and worked on a couple of kiddie songs for Mylene, who is producing an album of kiddie songs. I do like kiddie songs... i like doing them knowing that somehow somewhere a kid will be singing to a song i did. Kinda gives one a nice feeling.
Monday will be anothere hectic day, continuing with the Piolo album. Work needs to be done on a church band's album as well. Aiza's album will soon be underway so i will get kinda busy in the days to come.
Bliss is on hold since Lone, our lead singer is still in Singapore for a series of shows for an Opera.
