Jam with
We have our last jam last October 23rd with Leez Too Many. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and the boys came in--we set-up, played and sang our hearts out. Kim will go back to work in Saudi in a week that time so this jam is a must. I haven't played my bass in a long time and it felt good. I remember the time when I was desperate because I had no band to jam with and started thinking pursuing guitar again. I thought maybe I could invest and buy a
martin x series. I know it's great guitar but the price does not work for me because it's too expensive. My hubby bought me a Yamaha instead. But I kept thinking of the Martin X series. So my next project would go and save for money for the Martin. I know it'll be worth it. And yeah, I had someone to jam with and it's my daughter.

Tagged
I was tagged recently by a friend who we shared the stage one Christmas party. My Miranda--our all-girl band (sort of) hehehe. Even though it was just one night, I feel a connection with the girls and that's what I missed in a band. The mutual connection sharing one passion--music. I miss the sipra part when I need to learn a song, preparing what gear to use (ex. Guitar with pigtronix infinity looper), calling the studio for jam reservation and the impromptu song arrangements especially with Marry Me Amy. We really had that connection. I hope I can find another group or maybe get back together? Time will tell.

Protection gear
My dad was out last night and went to go see his band mates for some jam session. Sometimes he would just get the bass guitar and put it on the back seat of the car with the case! I told him to get at least a descent bass case at guitar center so he can prevent permanent damage to his gear. A good casing is must because I learned it the hard way. If I can even get water-proof one, I would. These hard to find gear need proper care and especially storage. I would really want my daughter to experience my gear when they grow up. And maybe one of them may like to bass as well someday. Let's see.

Skill
I'm on social media lately and it's been eating my past time. I regret to admit that I am one of those people who are hooked. And I saw a couple of jam memories from years ago with my band mates and it made me a little sad. How I want to go back to the golden days and just savor the moment. I remember, Joey and I would check that MF music instrument stores near me and would spend a good one hour just browsing through their music instruments and talk about how would we make our sound more unique. Then we would try them during jam session with Amy. I wish we can do that again. Now, my eldest daughter is beginning to love singing. I am now looking forward on her potential talent and hopefully commit my time in molding her skill.

Make it big
I'm striving to get my small business known and one way to do it is the Internet. I have a FB account for it because obviously, everybody is on FB now. I still don't have a stand alone website for it because of financial reasons. If I can get a big yard sign from a printing yard signs, I would get one and put it on display everywhere. But right now, Feliz Confectionery is still earning its way to the hearts of our customers. I hope by the end of this year, I can make it big.

Expand the gear
Our next gig is on Feb8 and we only have 2 jam sessions left. I pretty excited about this up coming gig because we have a drummer. Hopefully we'll pull this off smoothly, which I know we will. I have of plans and my goal is to expand my gear. I started to think of getting a gadget because lately I'm starting to look for 'that' particular sound I wanted. And maybe if I have money I can upgrade to a 5-string cool rogue electric bass at guitar center. I love this because it comes in pearl white. It's soo me right. Expand the gear--another goal.

Ready for 2014
The most difficult thing to do is diet and loose weight after Christmas. Almost everybody I know gained a pound or two over the holidays and now it's that time again to work-out (double time!) because we only have 3 months before summer officially starts. Summer is not complete without the sun, beach and of course---Sexy Beachwear. Before Christmas I think I needed to loose 10 kilos and now I think I (really) need to loose more than that! I have a lot of goals this year and loosing weight is one of them.. so get ready 2014.

Dream big, Fly high
We've been praying for this big opportunity for the hubby. We know that it's time for him to explore and work abroad. Our dream has always been to travel the world and have an awesome adventure and we know this is the first step. In a few weeks, hopefully the hubby will soon fly to the land rich in oil and sand. I know he can do more and excel in his craft. I may not know about welding, or Reid industrial supplies, but maybe in time, me and the kiddo can go abroad too....

Keys
We have a confirmed gig on February 8 and we resumed band practice this morning. Good thing I was able to contact a friend drummer to session for us. Unfortunately, the last 2 drummers didn't work out. We don't have anyone on keyboards but I'm still happy because we have a drummer for now. I'm not a fan of keyboardist in band, or maybe it's just me LOL. I'm not against keyboardist on novation keyboards, but yeah.. it's just me.

Sell sax
We got a call from the hubby's aunt asking if we can take a look at their old sax. They plan to sell it and they do not know the selling price of their unit now. We asked Auntie to drop the sax over so we can take a look at it. It was old, untouched and stocked over the years. They are wondering if they can make money out of it. We brought it over at my friend who is working at the music store. We've been told that we need to spend to replace the old parts so it can be used again. So explained to Auntie the bad news and also advised her to check the reed products sax at wwbw for more detailed information. Hopeful auntie can sell it and make money out of it.

Cool coins
I didn't know that you can customize coins until I stumble upon this cool website ---military challenge coins online. Coins for Anything can customize your coins for memorabilia, souvenirs and other collectible purposes. I think it's a great idea especially for company souvenirs or for commemoration, awarding etc. It's makes a good impression for the company and person whom you want to give to. How cool is that right. For that I will call them cool coins.

Treatment
Addiction is one of the main problems our society is facing and more and more people are still trapped into this so-called addiction. I am glad I did not experience any of it--Thanks to parents who brought me up well. And so technology is still finding ways to make us better, there is a procedure called safe rapid detox that treats only the physical aspect of addiction. And of course, after the 8-hour treatment, psychological treatment is needed. So you ask yourself if this happens to you, would you undergo with the treatment? It's question that you have to answer for the sake of your family. I know I would but I'm glad I don't have to.

Excited
Excited for tomorrow because we'll have another band session in the attic. Thank God for weekend offs. How I wish I have weekend offs permanently so I won't have trouble scheduling my errands and activities. Work can be stressful and this is one of my outlet of letting go and just being myself with my friends. I'm thinking of getting a nice Mono guitar case for my fender love and maybe a table top microphone because it's on sale hahaha. Anyway, I'll probably for go with the case first because I really need it especially for travelling.

Hubby has been taking part-time job at my sister's house project. They have been busy for several weeks because they are trying meet the deadline. My sister told me she went to shop for house tiles, pool chairs and outdoor Water Features for your garden. I haven't seen the house yet but I am so looking forward to it. It's actually our uncle's house and we are looking forward to the house blessing soon in a couple of months.

Xmas booth
We are now counting weeks before the --ber month and before we know it, Christmas is around the corner. I told the hubby that I wanted to do something different this coming holiday and he politely agreed. I wanted to get a booth and sell. Like those tiange and banchetto which are very popular here during Holidays and we can sell anything.. from toys, gifts to supplies (http://www.supplylinedirect.com/) and for me, I think I'll stick to baking and selling my creations will be my next target. Let's see.

Work, Bake, Play.
It'll be my dad's birthday in less than 2 months and he's already asking me if me and my band can play. Technically my official band is still on break and my project band are busy with work, especially me. I also have tentative gig on December. I feel bad about not having time with Music anymore. I still want to play of course, but I'm so occupied with work and baking. I'm striving to establish my own business while working at the same time. But maybe I'll make an exemption for the coming months because it's my dad's birthday. Besides, I was hold my fender again. And speaking of gears, I saw this awesome idea on facebook, wherein there's an ordinary cabinet (for clothes) but when we slide it open, a fender aerodyne is inside. Cool right!
So in the coming months, I'll be on work, bake, play mode.

Home/Small business
I'm thrilled that I'm getting orders for two weeks now. Yup! I'm baking again and this time I finally have a list of products/goodies for sell. Sucks! Because I have to do everything... preparing, baking, packaging and selling! It's hard but I'm still hopeful this business will someday grow, so I can stay home. I know I still have a long way to go. At first I had a hard time choosing the right box for the packaging and then I ran out of sticker label! How gorgeous is that right. Maybe if I earn a bit more, I ran purchase some trade printers so I can use for my small business plus for the kiddo's school assignment.

Pick ups
My dad asked me to test the blue yamaha bass guitar last night because he swapped the pick-ups with the wood body bass guitar. He recently found out that that pick-up is already expensive. When I tried the blue yamaha, it really do sound good. The tone can go as deep and the crunch is powerful. I love it. Maybe we'll check another pick-up (same brand) on music instruments at musicians friend. I hope it's not that expensive on this store. Now I'm excited to get back into music and use the blue yamaha. You ask when? I hope soon!

Gift for you
I've been a lot of jogging lately and I'm proud to say that I'm doing great. Starting over was difficult but my motivation persist and I'm still here. But exercising is taking my whole afternoon time and I barely go on the Internet lately. My inaanak will turn 1 in weeks times and I need a gift asap. I'm thinking of getting him something useful, like a pair of shoes or pants but an idea came to me. If I wanted a memorable gift, I can get him a Golden Eagle Coin, wherein he can keep and use it as a hobby someday.
