I recorded this using my Samsung Galaxy note voice recorder and Beats speaker. There are no effects added, it's raw as it is, which I like, because it doesn't take out the soul and the intention of your voice. Also, I'm really praying for this guy I really like... 

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

Love Song by 311 ( cover by Elisette Casper Blancaflor )

I recorded this song when I was young (  probably 12, 13 I don't really 
remember ), it was for a Broadway album. My dad arranged this song. 
What struck me most about the song was how it spoke to me.  When I 
sang it in the studio, I remembered how it didn't work out for my 
parents. They used to leave the country all the time without me. I wanted my parents to get back together. Now that I'm old enough to understand, there are difficult times or lapses when I still wish I can turn back time, which led to replaying this song over and over again. 

I dedicate this to my mom and dad. Even though we didn't make it 
through, I still love the both of you.

 Maybe, from the Hit Broadway Musical Annie. 

This song is very personal and remarkable not only because I can 
directly relate to it but it also captured how I felt while I sang this song with doe-like eyes.

Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straighting this tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano,
He's sitting paying a bill! 

Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays, and art!
Betcha they're good -- 
(Why shouldn't they be?) 
Their one mistake 
Was giving up me! 

So maybe now it's time,
And maybe when I wake 
They'll be there calling me "Baby"... 
Maybe. 

Betcha he reads
Betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes!
Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line... 
Don't really care
As long as they're mine! 

So maybe now this prayer's
The last one of it's kind... 
Won't you please come get your "Baby"

Poorly recorded but I'll post it anyway. :-p 
Unconventional, irritating, repetition, playing with words. :-)

Music and Lyrics by Elisette Casper Blancaflor


There's no other way than this
Let me pay you a visit
If I stay away longer
Won't be able to handle the distance


The wall between us seems so hard to break
I have already discovered another way


One day of breathing without you
It's so hard to do
Why don't we just break all the rules
Please embrace me one last time
Baby, Don't look back
Please don't, I miss you so much
Give me that one look and one touch
I'm asking for your time

In my life, I tend to not listen to my own advice
Coz all I want to do is see your eyes
Can't get enough of you


Please don't leave me behind
I'm asking for your time

Family Frame by Elisette Casper Blancaflor

Holiday (Demo Version) is the raw, unfiltered version of a song I wrote—and yes, that's me playing the guitar, mistakes and all. I wanted to capture the emotion of the moment, not just the melody. It’s stripped-back, a little rough around the edges, but every sound is straight from the heart.
You can hear the full, polished version of “Holiday” on Spotify or Apple Music. And if you’re curious how it all came together visually, check out the music video on YouTube.


Holiday (Demo Version)

I created a musical score for a short film called Kortapluma in 2009, featuring Jessy Mendiola and Pica Lozano. "Forbidden Love" was the title for the montage because it focuses around the rising and falling of emotions with every passing second, that explains the transformation of the heavy impact on some parts of my piano arrangement, from soft to dominating scales in my notes.
