I am from the Philippines and I love Irish,Scottish,Welsh as well as Breton music. I am studying Gaelic and I also like tea.

More about me:
I live in a small quiet town in Bacolod .I live down South of the region so we have that laid back attitude in dealing with life. You can find all sorts of people here, from faith healers, medicine doctors,punks,poets and poseurs.

I started blogging a few years ago but I sort of put it aside then picked it up again. I never gave it so much thought until I got so depressed lately. I realize I have to keep my thoughts and hands busy so I can get rid of what's bothering me. Everything is starting to take shape and little by little blogging has taken hold of me and I feel that it is taking me away from my self harming ways. I think I can really get up and make coffee for myself.

I like meeting people and making friends with great minds. unfortunately, my ADD could only accommodate relationships up to a certain level before crashing down leaving me with this familiar passive behavior. Misfits,lost souls-they have a special place in my heart. I also love people who seek spiritual growth. As I always say, I reflect like a monk but I party like a rock star.

Fascinated with:
Classical music:Puccini,Verdi,Bellini,Rachmaninov,Chopin,Haydn, Tchaikovsky and minimalist composers like Philip Glass.

Rock bands and rock music in general. There is something about a guitar played to a point that you reach that auditory orgasm.

Goths. Yeah old habits are hard to break. Been a fan of Dead Can Dance, Nine Inch Nails,Sisters of mercy, Bauhaus and Rasputina for a long time.
Not much into Emo though.But I understand where that is coming from.

Maria Callas. Yes in opera she stands alone.Callas forever.

Enya. No matter what people say she is the sole reason why I am even blogging.Or why I am still here , and sane.I am a frequent poster in our community www.unity.enya.com the official Enya forum.

Ireland and the rest of the seven Celtic nations. My other blog would explain that further.

Science. Astronomy is what keeps me on the web and outdoors at night. I also like technical stuff. Anything related to machines,computers or technology.

Books.I constantly keep myself updated .But I admit reading is hard with my current schedule. But I always keep in mind not to stop reading.

Vinyl records and turntables: yes my long time fetish since I was 5 years old. I used to hang out with kids in my neighborhood and we would spend the rest of the afternoon(after playing) lying on the floor listening to standards, as well as New Nave music.I just love spinning that black circle-to quote from Pearl Jam.

The 70s. This is my geeky side. Anything polyester is hotter.Bell bottoms are fun.

Photography. I am not much of a photographer though I take pictures using film too.

My love for analog music and vinyl records did not end with the onset of digital downloads. It just proves why physical media is so much better in any way.
