Why Alabastro Beats?

-


I'm currently residing in San Andres Bukid, Metro Manila. Our street is at ALABASTRO. Then how did I come up with the word BEAT? Nothing fancy, but I believe that this would be a great start for my blogging venture. I decided to go blogging because it would help me vent (express I should say...)  whatever pops into my mind. I'm thinking to put all of my thoughts here in this blog while I'm still in the process of learning the ins and outs of blogging. I just currently signed up on Google Adsense, and I'm hoping they'll approve my application. For now, I'm thinking of creative materials or things that I want to share on this blog. Such music (more on covers or tutorials on how to play this song, review of a movie, etc. recommendations, and much more!) Trust me, I'm a Man of MANY things, BUT I'm also a MASTER of Something which is MUSIC! 


About Me

I'm a Musician. I think I'm blessed to live in this world because I know how to play music (which is everybody's favorite), and I thank the Lord for that! I've been playing music for almost 2 decades. My forte? More on Christian songs (e.g. Hillsong, Planetshakers, Ron Kenoly, Israel and New Breed, and the list just goes on and on)

My main ax is the Keyboards/piano, but I was a drummer back then though. I learned to play the drums and BE in the Beat before learning to become a pianist. Then started to learn how to play the guitar and bass guitar by myself. Yes, I'm a "widow"! That's how Filipinos say it if you know how to play musical instruments just by using your ears (more on the dependence on your ears if you already know music theory such as Family chords and stuff) PLUS, you can say that I'm a ONE MAN BAND!

I'm an experienced Online English teacher (I say experienced because I didn't take up Education or took teaching courses back in college. It was all pure experience because it was my first job after I graduated from College). I started teaching English to foreigners in 2009. My 7 years of ESL experience involves teaching Basic Grammar, TOEFL, and Business English to Koreans and Japanese kids, VIP clients, and Businessmen. I basically use Skype as a medium for me to connect with my students. I've been employed in several office-based companies and decided to go Home-based teaching after seeing the advantages of working at home.

Well, I obviously got more on my plate. I can't wait to share everything that I love on this blog, but I'm really pressed for time! I still have to fetch my Wife at the terminal after her 3 long days of vacation in her hometown! Ciao!

LIST OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES

-

We all have a list of " Favorite Quotes " one-liners, sayings, or phrases that we always read from time to time whenever we feel down, or in need of some moral boost. For me, quotes represent the famous [iconic] people who had coined them.  Even though these are just only a group of words, they possess the EXPERIENCE and HISTORY of the person who had thought of them! That's how these quotes get their strength ! The Bible says,  “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” - Proverbs 18:21. Yes, Our words have the power to destroy and the power to build up. Today, I want to share some of my favorite quotes that I collected. These quotes were grabbed from blog posts, articles, movies, tv series and novels that I've watched and read. The ones that are in  BOLD are my favorites or had given serious impact in my life!  I will update this particular post for the latest ones that I'll come across with.

WARNING: A VERY LATE POST:   Since 2017, Batangas shaped up as my favorite place to go to whenever I want to recharge and reflect because It's accessible and has got the nature city vibe without compromising your quality vacation. Early 2019, We've decided to go back again to give a thought about everything that happened to us last year. From the battles that we have fought with my Mom and her passing. This time, in Nasugbu Yes, just like the title of my review. If you want a place to relax, disconnect, or detach from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is perfect for you.

We had our reservation on  Agoda , which was great because it was "pay the property at check-in." We already had our reservation online befor

Jack of all trades, master of none. Is there anything wrong with that?

Grabbed from Google This is what always bugs me. Is it a bad thing to be a " Jack of all trades "? I find it weird whenever my friends call me that. I think I'm a perfect example of it. I just can't stand when they make a fuss about it. As if it's there's something wrong from being "good" at almost everything! For me, especially in this day and age, being a " generalist " is no longer a bad thing. You will always have " the edge " among others in terms of jobs , skills , and opportunity for promotion ! Well, in my case, aside from playing the piano, I can also play the guitar, the bass guitar, and the drums. I'm also an ESL teacher , a Customer Service Representative for a BPO company., and A blogger ! To sum this up, I guess we need more "jack of all trades" in our society. But instead of sticking to that phrase, we need to change it to " Jack of all trades, master of all " How's that soun
