My Fave Song From Tyrone Wells

This is one of my favorites from Tyrone Wells.  Oh nothing...just chilling to some cool rock music....and yeah, maybe wondering where YOU are.  :-)




Cool huh? I like the simple sound of his electric guitar....would be nice on acoustic guitar as well.

Here are the lyrics, in case you want to sing along.  I suppose it's for anyone who's still wondering where his or her special someone is.

Will you like to watch the sunrise?
Will you have blue or brown eyes?
What are the dreams you long to share
I hope you like Stevey Wonder
Are you afraid of thunder?
I close my eyes and say a prayer you're out there somewhere

I've been waiting all of my life for you

I've been wishing on every shining star
I've been watching out of my window
Wondering where you are
Wondering where you are

My heart's my only treasure

Been saving it for your pleasure
Can't wait to give my heart to you
We'll walk this road together
That leads us to forever
I close my eyes and say a prayer you're out there somewhere

I've been waiting all of my life for you

I've been wishing on every shining star
I've been watching out of my window
Wondering where you are
Wondering where you are

Too many nights alone

And this house won't be a home
Until I'm with you

And I've been waiting all of my life for you

I've been wishing on every shining star

I've been waiting all of my life for you

I've been wishing on every shining star
I've been watching out of my window
Wondering where you are
Wondering where you are
Wondering where you are
Wondering where you are
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering where you are
I'm wondering where you are
Wondering where you are

Hey There Stranger


Young Women Chat on the Street - Ouro Preto - Minas Gerais - Brazil, originally uploaded by Adam Jones, Ph.D..

Number 6087...as I looked on the screen, the last number called is 6076.  Still got about ten people before me.  Oh well, nothing to do but wait for my turn, so I sat on the long chair along with others.  I needed to have one of my mobile phone lines terminated.  I think I could do with just one mobile contact number now.  Call it part of simplifying my life and cutting away on expenses.
Twenty minutes of waiting, just a couple more transactions and I'm next.  Just then, someone tapped my shoulder and as I turned to look, the person mentioned my full name, in a tone that is kind of confirming if I was indeed the person she knew.  I said yes and she asked if I remember her.  I blinked just once and said her name.  Good Lord!  Thank You that you gave me an excellent memory for matching faces with names, otherwise, it would have been an embarrassing moment for me.

Gali and His Heavenly Piano Music

Visitors of this blog couldn't fail to notice the music playing in the background.  The first one you'll hear is "Maybe" by Korean pianist, Yiruma.  If you have stayed long enough on this site, I am sure you must have heard of that piano version of the worship song "From the Inside Out."  It's one of my favorite songs.  And it seems, Gali is also a fan of Hillsongs' music. 
 
Who is Gali?  The best way to get a glimpse of this man is by reading his bio in his own site Gali - Heaven's Sounds ... Here on Earth.  Don't freak out if you do not understand Spanish.  There's a button somewhere in the site that says "in English."  I find his story inspiring simply because he discovered his calling at a very early age.  Okay so maybe he was unaware of it at 5 years old.  But it seems that from that time his father bought a keyboard, the first time he set his fingers on it must have been a defining moment in his life.

I suppose, another way of getting to know this great musician, is of course by his music.  Here's Gali doing his cover of another worship song by Hillsongs.  Some of you may be familiar with it, but before you hit that play button, please scroll down, all the way to the bottom of this blog and press the pause button of my Mixpod, so that you won't be hearing two different music at the same time.



You might be wondering why I said music is his calling.  Quoting from his site, here's why I thought of that :  
Within his entire musical success, GALÍ has never ceased to move away from the original purpose in music which is to positively affect the heart of the people through the talent God gave him as a child. 
I couldn't think of a better way to express gratitude for the talents God gave us than by using it to glorify Him and bless others.  How I wish I were like that with my guitar...very passionate, focused, and intense for the craft.  I suppose it's not yet too late for me hahaha! Oh by the way, at the home page of Gali's site, you'll find this box that says "Musica Gratis."  It simply means, free music, so go on and get free samplers of his original music.  I downloaded some of it already and quite enjoying the sounds of heavenly music.

Badminton and a Bit of Rain


badminton 3.1.2008, originally uploaded by Pazit Polak.


I suppose, badminton and some light drizzle wouldn't have conflicts with each other...that is if you're playing indoors. I was playing badminton with a colleague barely a half hour ago in the basketball court. It's not a covered court so you're exposed to the elements. It wasn't very windy so the shuttle cock don't have a problem with wind resistance. But just thirty minutes of playing, here comes a light drizzle. I would have continued to play as I'm not one who's prone to getting sick with a little rain. I actually like the feel of those tiny rain drops on my skin...But my companion called it quits already as she's afraid she might catch a cold or have fever.

Repousse: Art Work on Metal



Last Saturday, I went on a plant visit to a couple of suppliers that provide raw materials for our company.  Our group was first ushered to the conference room while we were waiting for the technical manager who would present the company profile and products.  The room was actually newly constructed and quite bare except for the long conference table and chairs.....and a nice artwork on the wall.  I was staring at the metal artwork for quite a long time, taking in the details.  I was also looking for the artist's signature but I couldn't find one.
