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. 

Happy Easter! Frohe Ostern!

 

Happy Easter to all of you and thanks a lot for always visiting this blog. God bless!

Ein gesegnetes und frohes Osterfest Ihnen allen, meine lieben Leser!

MALIGAYANG PAGKAMULING NABUHAY NI KRISTO!

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.
