Teaching Advanced Flash at the First Academy of Computer Arts has been fulfilling.
To share your expertise and experience to budding students is something great because it validates your knowledge in Flash and you become updated with the latest trends in the industry.
Knowing that you are able to educate people who share the same enthusiasm as you also makes it worth it.

Just like angels
The beauty of the female singing voice blows me away, as proven by my endless listening last night of Lori Carson’s song “I Want To Believe You”, a soaring and moving piece which I rediscovered again today after more than two years.
This is one of two major reasons why I love downtempo and chillout music; one is the sound of the strings and keyboard, and of course the beauty of the female singing voice; like angels coming down to hum their chorus.
Which is why one of my goals is create great music by means of recording songs with a female singer. Several times in the past did it almost happen, but hope springs eternal.
One of my goals later on is to produce such music, being in-charge of the production while recording it in my own music studio at home and doing the instruments, with a female singer of course doing the vocals of the song. That would be one great creative moment.
The singer could be a family friend.
Or, she could probably turn out to be my future lifetime partner.

My Pick To Win It All
When watching reality-based tv programs, we tend to pick our personal favorites to win it all. During the Rockstar series for example, I picked Mig Ayesa in 2005 and Ryan Star in 2006 as my faves. Though both guys did not win it all, they both influenced me with my music goals and that is what is important.
As I watched the ongoing show On The Lot, I am starting to enjoy the films made by Zach Lipovsky from Canada.
His first solo work “Danger Zone” really got me laughing out of my seat because of Zach’s clever filmmaking strengthened even more by his special effects expertise. Watching his second film “Sunshine Girl” also got me interested because of its cinematic narrative, subtle use of effects and sounds and camera shots.
As the show moves to Episode 8, it will be interesting how Zach would fare against the other filmmakers, but based on the judge’s feedback and the voters, things are looking good so far.

Cool music in the mornings
Have been enjoying lately listening to 92.3 xFM in the mornings and it provides a welcome audio pleasure as I begin my day at work.
I checked the Web and discovered this info bit from Wikipedia:
“On Easter Sunday, 08 April, 2007 at exactly 12:01AM, 92.3 bid goodbye to Joey and surprised their avid listeners with a new sound, returned its original call letters, and new station liners. The station introduced itself as “This is xFM. The New Equation for Good Music” before playing the very first song in its new format. Currently, xFM plays downtempo, electronica, ambient, chill out, lounge, house, trip hop, and indie music which are mostly played more in clubs than on radio 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - a first for the FM band in the Philippines.”
It’s about time that a music format such as this was implemented. Ever since Anton Ramos help open my musical taste for downtempo on his Chillout Project album series, this has already been part of my music catalogue and I look forward for more cool morning sound from 92.3
