Philippine Music, Mathematic, and Gary Granada
Many know it already, I love music. I started loving especially Philippine music since my first stay 1982 in Mindanao.
While staying in Manila some time ago, I learned a lot about Gary Granada from a media friend, who published an article in a national daily.
I also hated mathematics. Yes, I am very honest, but it seems that music and math can go together like a happy couple. The incredible singer and composer has written more then 500 songs, many of them indeed widely admired for their lyric depth and sharp wit, how Cora Lucas described in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Gary Granada's is talking about his "project of my life". It's realy amazing, he's referring to "Arithmetic Songs for kids Zero to Ten". The CD contains 10 original compositions, plus tracks without vocals (minus-one) that students can sing along to. The songs can also serve as a 'tool for enhancing music appreciation', said Granada. "Students don't enjoy much math because they cannot see its immediate implications in life", he explains. I must confess, Gary is very right and I strongly agree with him.
Try to get the CD "Teacher Kiel's Arithmetic Songs FOR KIDS ZERO TO TEN".
You will love it - and maybe also mathematics... .

Let's Dream Harder... Let's Work Harder!
Dreams are foams? Maybe. Maybe not. Long time ago ago Confucius
said: "The one who steals our dreams brings us death!"
Series of images or thoughts in the mind of a person asleep, the idle fancy, the vision, the aspiration, the yearnings - are dreams that have interested, puzzled and frightened people for thousands of years. All kinds of strange explanations have been written and published about dreams. Interpreters of dreams have published innumerable books about dreams. I even bought some of these books. I caught myself reading them and analyzing my dreams, in becoming unsure and sometimes really undecided about the many different explanations regarding the same dreams' meaning.
Today it is believed that the dreamer himself creates his dreams; and, because are something a personal creating, they may have a special meaning for the dreamer. Just, why should one have a dream when one may depend on many things. Your health may have an affection on your dreams. If a Person is hungry or feels cold, of he is very tired, the dreams may include these feelings.
Living as an expatriate in the Philippines and just arriving "home" after several journeys, I do still dream of many things. Blue-eyed, as I am and as I might remain, I keep on dreaming of a better world (in the Philippines!) without ignorance, and arrogance in our daily surroundings at home and / or our working/business places and stations. I keep on dreaming of honest (foreign?) expat/Filipino friends, who don't turn their back if we need them.
I keep on dreaming that the "typical Pinoy" stop dreaming leaving this counry and working abroad may change into another "bad" (?) dream.

Off to The Adventure Caraga
The capital is Butuan City. Languages speaken: Surigaonon, Cebuano, Butuanon, Manobo and others.
Caraga is an administrative region of the Philippines, on the northeastern portion of Mindanao. It is indeed the newest region in the Philippines, and called Region XIII. It is bounded on the north by the Bohol Sea; on the south by the provinces of Davao, Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental of Region XI; on the west by Bukidnon (also one of my favourite Mindanao areas!) and Misamis Oriental of Region X; and on the east by the Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
When in Mindanao, please drop by Caraga. You will enjoy as well as I did.

Designer Silverio Anglacer From Davao City
We met some day in the past somehow (?) in Facebook - Silverio, the great Davao designer and me.
Last week we found time to meet each other personally, and yes, I got a lot of questions for him.
I learned a lot from Silverio Anglacer... .
He is not very interested in politics (no wonder, why?), but is depended on a very good environment around him, which not only means intact nature, but also family and friends.
"I can only exist in a healthy environment and keep myself being creative in my doings as designer!"
A little mixed and conflicting atmosphere remained, when I asked him about media and religion. I must confessed, we experienced the same opinion, when it comes to Philippine TV. And, praying the whole day and night might be good. Living a Christian life with all its consequences might be much better,
Silverio, an amazing personality, someone between being very talkative and in his very own style silent and lonely. A typical artist, who started designing and drawing some time at the age of 5, 6 or so in the 1980s together (or because of ) with the unique and amazing support of his both parents.
Silverio, a pet loving designer, who decided to live and stay in the Philippines, although having had the chance to stay some time abroad.
"I became a fashion designer because of my passion since childhood! I always liked to draw and have been interesting in any kinds of make ups - even for my mother!"
Silverio, a really unique fashion designer, who has no favourite colours.
"Look at the birds! And, I think, each colour works for each person. It's just a matter how to post them!"
Silverio has many idols: Valentino, Jil Santer, and the German Karl Lagerfeld.
Silverio loves any kinds of sea foods and think, that social networking in general (like Facebook) can be very important for business and very rare relation- and friendships.
I enjoyed talking with Silverio very much.
Silverio Anglacer, a Davao based and Davao loving fashion designer with an incredible source of ideas - not only for the high society - but also "for you and me".
