I just like to make songs worse or worse...as long as it's my own i don't care...All songs was recorded (using my old guitar that sounds like a can) and mastered by me (still sounds worse to me). The first 3 compilations are recorded in acoustic solo jams. If you want to listen to the original versions, just visit my FRIENDSTER page. Thanks!
ABOUT THE BAND - I was a member (guitarist/vocals) of a local amateur Filipino Rock band (now defunct, "Ang Grupo" Band formerly "KamoteKa"; The members: John Ray "Shao" Mendoza - Lead Vocals, Me - Guitars/Vocals, Reynante "Bilz" Patindol - Bass/vocals, Jonathan "Miks" Pancho - Drums/Vocals?, Primo "Prime" Salupen - Lead Guitars/Vocals? - After sometime, Ralph "Padli" Carrantes has joined the band after Me and "Prime" left and the band has reorganized, "Miks" Pancho (how did he learn to play the f@#&*kng guitar so very well? I'm still wondering until now..) became the Lead Guitarist and "Padli" became the drummer; (Independent/Underground) from 1992 - 1995 in La Trinidad Rock Scene(Sometimes in Baguio City and other places), I left the band, when rock (those were the good old days when metallica & Gun's n roses are still very popular) slowly lost it's popularity in the Philippines and R'N'B/Hiphop took over, to concentrate on my studies in Civil Engineering.
I like to just strum the guitar and sing. I like to make simple songs ('coz I believe in the saying: "Simplify what is complicated and don't complicate what is simple") with simple tune (you'll notice it in the chords because I'm too lazy to improvise). any Songs about heartache, love, funny/comedic, other people's stories, worse or not.
As of date, I strum the chords and make the lyrics later. I've written songs both english and tagalog. Slow and fast. I'll try to find another way to record the songs to a better quality if I have time.
I believe that music whether good or worse is still music as long as you don't steal it from somebody's work. And make sure that when you borrow songs, always give credit to the artist.
All of my songs are compilations of my compositions from 1992 - present (all songs were originally influenced by rock/rock ballad/alternative/underground type of music; I only made it mellow to adapt the sound to my classical guitar). I included my favorite song, "I won't Last A Day", which I borrowed and tweaked. Enjoy!

18 January 2008:
I have completed all the 45 songs and started burning it in the CD's for distribution these are the cd labels; "Act1: Hello, Hello Sa Inyo"(16 Originals and 2 borrowed songs..), "Act2: Di Na Nadadala"(12 Originals and 4 modified original songs taken from 1st Act plus 2 borrowed songs I usually call warm up practice..), "Act3: RockAholicPopAkustik" (16 Originals and two modified original songs from the 1st and 2nd act and nothing I borrowed. The compilation is a mixture of Rock/Pop done in acoustic (all of the 3 compilations are done in that way I guess), anyways, just listen to whatever I have uploaded..). I would like to thank all the people (my friends, family, officemates, enemies?, pets and those who died and are not born yet) who gave me the inspiration to write the songs even if I suck a lot in song writting and singing...'till here, I'm Signing off (but my site will not hehehe).....
