the title of this post will be changed later

I have a huge inclination on audio reinforcement.
My father have this mobile sound system business at home - it still is banging loud bass up to now - thanks to not-so-constant upgrades.
I am a member of the generation that had touched and spinned vinyl records, played and recorded tape cartridges and wondered back then why in the world an audio in a disc jumps. (hehehe)

Learned to do mixed tapes (from boybands since I was in elementary during that time) and did the record via our Sony tape decks and mini hifi stereo components. Would pass it over to my classmates and they would do the same. Blank cartridge tapes would cost us 36Php for an hour of record time - 30 minutes for side A then another 30 on B.

I understood early on the concepts of tone control, EQs and crossovers frequencies and the devices to manipulate them too. I had to - I mean I had to mix and do the sound check every after installation and setups. Doing that was never boring and it really is exciting. I am a big fan of hi-fi audio.

Will continue this post later on..
I am trying to remove my drowsiness. Troubleshooting Subversion has been a pain in the @*$ and I am learning my way to do Git.

After the encounter

I once posted a blog about a prayer meeting group that I ran into.

In one of those sessions, we were encouraged to write anything to everything.

In the early years of my high school life, I wrote – from poems, essays, short stories to oratorical pieces. Writing was very natural for me back then. It seemed like the words would just come down to places and assembled together.

I was very fond of reading and writing (working of having it back). Anything that I could get my hands into – I would read it – for as long as the material is worth reading for. Newspapers, magazines to books would fill my study table back at home. Most of which were borrowed from our library and guidance counseling center.

I think it is in writing that we get to express our inner thoughts. Build and formulate our wildest imaginations and live in it. Back in the days where text messaging were only for those who have cellular phones – writing cute love letters were among the stuff that would make a girl feel “kilig”.

More to follow.. I just want to write and write.

Friends. Fans. Foes.

I had the opportunity to join a fellowship - a prayer meeting - of Christians alike. It was every Thursday at the Mayi Hall of City Sports Club, Cebu Business Park.

On one of the meetings, the topic was about friends, fans and foes.

Friends - you don't need too many friends in your life. You just need a few real ones. If you find three or more real friends in your lifetime, then consider it a blessing.

Fans - We have our share of fans too. Fans differ from friends in many ways and they look like the same sometimes.

Foes - Enemies.

I wish I could put all in this post all the lessons learned from there.

The talk lasted for like an hour and it was great and good (good is an understatement - it was one of the best).

tag baynte and the rest of the crew

I am a part of a very dynamic and awesome team of developers and designers.
We are on a graveyard shift for like all the time - Monday to Friday and 10PM to 7AM.
At first, it was difficult for me because I had to change my sleeping habits and a full alteration of my body clock. But then I got used to it.

In the wee hours of the morning, the crew would then sing the lyrics of

miadto siya sa fuente
nangita ug laki - tag baynte
isakay sa taksi
dad-on sa guadalupe

to the tune of whatever music plays out on the radio.
And mind you, they sang it really well and very hilariously.

This will go on like to the morning - to cure the drive to sleep and just to stay awake.

Cheers everyone!
