This is a song I wrote for a contest for the best tax time song. It didn't win but I like the way it turned out anyway. I always intended it to have a low, menacing voice, kind of like Leon Redbone or someone, but I was lucky (I guess) to have come down with the start of a head cold the day I recorded the vocal, so my voice was much lower than it normally is. I know, I know... just shut up and play the song. Enjoy.
This song is about waking up with a hangover. It's pretty self-explanatory. I'm not really a fan of country music but when I was learning to play guitar, the three-chord sequence of this song was easy to play and it just took on a country feel on its own.
Hang with me while I get used to using Vox. This is a photo of some glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly that were on display at the New York Botanical Gardens last fall. These "bulbs" were among the many exotic shapes displayed everywhere throughout the gardens and the reflecting pools.
I'll be posting some music I did a while ago for fun. This one is Stewie G., sort of a mashup of sound clips from Family Guy with some Garageband loops. Enjoy.
Perhaps this works with my mobile phone? Let's see..now installing the Vox client to my E61
A few years ago, I found this dirty ugly kitten on the street who was meowing like crazy, probably hungry out of his wits. I adopted him and named him Mang-mang. He’s now a grown up cat who has a live-in partner (lives with us). I named her Keng-keng. Filipinos have a fondness for repeating syllables and turning them into names. Also, I admit I don’t have the talent when it comes to naming my pets hehe...
Mang-mang and Keng-keng just had a child who’s scrawny but looks cute nonetheless – I named him Ting-ting. She likes sleeping outdoors on top of anything she can reach. Silly cat!
Here are their photos. From the left to right: Keng-keng (she loves to sit on my lap), Mang-mang (super lazy, always sleeping) and the scrawnily cute Ting-ting.
I had a dog once but she was run over by a car when she
suddenly ran outside our gate. I went home from school and she was lying dead
on our doorstep. A neighbor found her on the street. I was seven years old then
and it was such a sad traumatic experience. From then on I decided to have cats
as pets instead.
Cats are more independent, more agile. My friend’s cat fell
from the 8th floor of her condo and walked away without any broken
bones. It takes less effort to take care of cats. We once went off to vacation for
one week and forgot to leave food for our cats – well they were still alive
when we returned. I wondered what they managed to eat. Then we heard complains
from our neighbors that pieces of their fried fish vanished from
their tables. Our cats stole them lol!
Last night, I chanced upon the premiere episode of Heroes, Volume 1, at RPN Channel 9 (a local channel in the Philippines). I thought that I can save money since I can watch it locally and not buy the episode off of iTunes store but I was wrong! The quality sucked big time and yes, you guessed it, TONS of advertisements! Argh and double argh!
I have been using Tumblr for quite some time now and I enjoyed its simplicity. A bookmarklet allows me to send practically anything to my tumblelog.
Curious, is there a way I can make my Vox into a tumblelog?
