music to my ears

I grew up listening to oldies but goodies, u know, like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Elvis, the Platters... That's my Dad's influence. New Wave music also captured my ears, n I blame my brothers n cousins 4 that . Then came along rock, hair metals , grunge smashing pumpkins>, then alternative I just learn how to appreciate broadway music 6 yrs ago. Les Miserables opened the door for me. Cats, Phantom, Miss Saigon rules! But my Favorites are Rent by Jonathan Larson, and Jesus Christ Superstar, by Webber/Rice. On my job, I supervise the multimedia dept and i"m being exposed to different types of music. Now I'm finding myself listening to more classicals, like violinist Itzhak Perlman , Andrea Bocelli , and I actually inclined some of my time listening to the opera La Boheme by Puccini <> I also listen to old school/contemporary jazz, like Miles Davis, Loui Armstrong,David Benoit, Astrud Gilberto but John Coltrane is my man! I'm still trying to listen to Bob Dylan's, but all I hear is harmonica. I do like the context of his music, specially blowin' in the wind. I only listen to Mariah Carey when she's on MTV, so I can see her nice *&@#* . Been listening to techno/chill trip music. Check out Tosca, it's pretty cool. Also check the soundtrack to Groove, love the music, it's tripping. I still listen to Filipino Music everyday. I still have eraserheads Circus Album <2nd> in my car n I listen to it everyday while driving. Eraserheads is like the version of the Beatles in the Philippines, they're d best, too bad the lead singer Ely left the band. I guess he's done his job. I can go on and on, but I'm tired n sleepy. I'll catch u guys later! peace.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

maybe with this blog i'll do something worth while. maybe. just maybe. i was afraid my life will end, but now, come to think of it, i have more reasons to be afraid that my life won't even begin. i had to do something about it. seize the day, carpe diem, make your life extra-ordinary.

i will try.


maybe.
