Acceptance (Rumba)

 I was scared 
Unsure again
What is this that I see
A shade that I don't know?

But as I stroked my brush
I took a chance
My heart was pounding but
I colored beyond the lines

Then I made green
An accidental unity
A hidden beauty
Floating inside; Among silent colors

CHORUS
Just this once
I felt like everything
 So I'll stay
To be everything forever

She had hazel eyes that made me stare
She had an attitude that goes with her hair 
A smile that makes me funny when I'm not
the most perfect shade of Blue
 
While here I am an imperfect shade
But she crossed the line with me anyway
She made me something I thought I’d never be
The most perfect shade of Yellow


We danced nonstop
Til our feet gave out with our hearts
I lost sleep to thoughts of you
Thinking my closed eyes can't see you
 
CHORUS
Just this once
I felt like everything
 So I'll stay
To be everything forever

“When Love Arrives (excerpt)”

Maybe love stays- maybe love can’t. 
Maybe love shouldn’t.
Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to, 
And love leaves exactly when love must. 
When love arrives, say, “Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.”
If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her. 
Turn off the music, listen to the quiet, whisper, 
“Thank you for stopping by.”

Local Indie Medley 1

So I bought a new Celestion 7080 to swap with my old one. My old one already have crackling low ends and lacked the presence it once had. 

I decided to record what the amp sounded like before against what it sounds like now.

All EQ knobs set at 12 o clock
OD tone drive at 2 o clock
Dist tone drive set to max at 5 o clock

Clean tone immediately became louder with clearer lows
OD tone became sharper and more present
Dist tone became clearer even at super high gain levels

Guitar used: SX Telecaster Vintage Series w/ jumbo frets, w/o paint

Laney LX65r w/ brand new Celestion 7080 test

A score I made for the send-off video of DLSU batch 2013
