"Empress Of The Sky" - Epic Proportions

"Empress Of The Sky"© in A Flat.
by Epic Proportions
arranged by Ccigaux A. Adona

This is an instrumental piece I made while contemplating to the different yet frequent thoughts of dawn til the morning sky greets you. On becoming insomniac, one might misconstrued by anyone that being on thoughts and sleeping late is debilitating. I, for once, used my talent to forcedly gather sound, emotion and the environment to come up an instrumental track. However the thing about this piece of musical structure is I'd like the listener to ponder about being an Empress of the sky just for once.

I took emphasis on the word "empress". It could have been "queen" but for some personal reasons, I researched for another synonym. And thus the title.

Perhaps, one way or another, we've treated someone like an empress. May it be a friend who happens to be in need of someone to talk to, or a haggard mother of 10 kids who's been treated to a salon for a complete make over, a father came home from work restless and his son or daughter helped him by carrying his slippers; a wife cooking her husband's favorite dinner; a special someone that no matter who they are or what they were, he or she will be treated like a delicate glass angel from the sky. These simple everyday scenario binds us all to just care for each other. In the absence of words and time, we are bound to show it in deeds. And in my case, I used music to describe how I care for a person. Because words sometimes, are never enough.

Heto dapat yung maging attitude natin sa kahit kanino; sa kapwa, sa bansa at sa Diyos, we need to CARE for anyone around us and make it in the context of"sky's the limit." :)

ENJOY!

this goes out to Usy. :)

The Week: In Photos And In A Few Words

The week had been poured out by a number of mixed emotions. Several days of sleepless 5am's due to excessive thinking. God bless you three, (Usy, Binibini, and Mais) for sharing your time with me. Each of you have been there, just when I needed each of you most.

I also had a doze of misunderstandings days ago. But the point is, each of us never got too petrified with the situation. At the end of the day, we've held our peace signs and said our apologies. :) If only we're both leaders of each nations, perhaps it could have been one of the most historical, funny, honest and influencial peace talks this world had ever witnessed.

I decided to put up photos to represent the week that was.

My band and I are temporarily escaping 12drtyfngrs due to our vocalist who's still in the middle east making himself more darker than ever. hehe! So, we three, decided to do my own songs for awhile. And we named our band "Epic Proportions". That's also the name I put when I wrote songs and poems. Wish us LUCK!! Yes, that photo above is a playing card. I play Magic:The Gathering since '96. But that's another story I would post next time. :)

Entertainment Live again with my barkada. It was the birthday celebration for Bianca. I could never say "no" to her birthday. Even if I'm having a pound of abdominal cramps that day.

It's a simple shirt, really. But the essence of each symbol and the phrase below are something worth wearing for.

Big Huggable Bear for the Birthday Birl! Would a girl liked me if I gave her this size of a stuff toy? hehe! :)

I can proudly say that we were one of the first few fan friends of Bianca back then. And seeing it grew from less than 10 to more than 10, now that's always gonna be something to smile about! Hands down to Kate, Monica, Ka, Bhitz and the rest of the guys who made Bianca smiling and singing happy tunes all month long! Or perhaps all year! :)

oOo

From what I saw on each of the photos above, I think I saw bright lights once again. Thank Heavens! I feel so alive today!

Thanks to Ka' for these photos! :)

Some Are Hurt And Start To Cry....

This is the comment I made on Russ' post about pareng Kiko Magalona. Because she said well what we really wanted to say in these times of sadness.

Indeed. I grew up with what he's fighting for and live for. His songs are always will push you to do the right stuff kahit mahirap. I can say I am also one of those living testimony of his songs. And I will still continue what he's implying all day to the "kabataan".

I just can't believe that I would live this young to see him passed away. A person like him deserves to live long. But who are we to decide? Masakit at wala na siya. Ayaw ko naman magpaka plastic at sabihing hindi ako apektado sa pagkawala niya. But I am. Like each person who've only been tapped on the back by his music. His living ideas. His passion for this country.

And I once visited his multiply site last night and saw his photos na super nakaka iiyak din. Kasi he was fighting for his life.

I feel you ms.russ. Don't be bothered kung exaggeration yun. Marami tayong nalungkot. Like people who wept for FPJ, Rico Yan, Rudy Fernandez and others that truly inspired by one.

We'll gonna see him up there in time.

Heart Evangelis..uhmm..Heart Evacuation

Failures after failures of attempted to love and be loved, I guess it's time for me to pull off this tired heart and throw it in Manila Bay. There's a use for it for fishes who eat unsweetened meat.
I'm better off without it.

It's time to sacrifice you, dear old weak heart for a higher purpose; for a higher and greater understanding. Your supply of Unoxygenated Blood also feels fed up with you. Lungs and Brains unanimously voted to evict you; and your fellow Lub-dub Band, together with your supportive BFF, Sir Bad Cholesterol. Too bad, your Myocardial-ed skin are already tearing off. Poor old Aorta will come off with you as well.

Fare thee well, my beloved.

We're all gonna miss you,

p.s. a photo does not lie. even the pic above with you made us see your pale colour. :(
