Haay September Na...
24 Sep 2009 11:04 PM
Haaay... I had originally set up this blog with the
goal of writing weekly. It turned out to be harder
than I thought.
It’s hard because I want to write interesting things, maybe some more orchestration or MIDI tutorials, maybe some album and band reviews, and definitely stuff I learn and experience in music, . For my hobbies such as running and biking, I want to write nice accounts of what happened, during my training and racing. Unfortunately, I don’t have the discipline for really churning out weekly content.
So now, just to not let this week pass without any new content, I’ll just post a rundown of my September so far.
Moved to a “new” space in the office (mid-August pala ito)
- once a resident of the third floor, my suite is now in the fourth, where I now have access to “my own” vocal booth. Yahoo!
- my third move ever since I started working in Carmel House Studios.
Recordings for Aiza Seguerra
- new album coming up! It’ll be a Singapore release.
here’s a video with me on piano (from the last album release)
Flow gigs
- continued playing for Flow, a musical/dance/acrobatic show in Pagcor. Full big band setup here, and my father Mel Villena is the musical director.

Singing Bee gigs
- am still writing for SInging Bee, the evening game show. I write music sheets for the band, for those songs that stop in the middle, and contestants have to complete the lyrics.
Arranged music for our company’s choir
- Globalink’s choir, whose album is in the works.
Attended big band clinics at Ten 02 Bar
- with the intention of honing my big band arranging skills, and of course hanging out with the cool musicians. Sometimes I played piano too.
Now arranging music for Eat Bulaga’s Bulilit Birit
- Yup, I’m doing this at the moment, and just taking a break from it.. need to submit the arrangements tomorrow afternoon.
Attended the iBike clinic
- there are some photos here
Attained my best 10k time so far
- At Ayala Eco-Dash race. And this was unintended (1hr. 3 mins. for the 10k). I think I would’ve done better if I hadn’t been biking the whole day before.
Joined my first Duathlon (sprint distance: 7k run, 30k bike, 3.5k run)
- dismal finish, but the point is, I finished! Now I know what I need to train for, for next time.

Whew, I think that’s a lot so far! No wonder I don’t get to blog much. I think it gets even crazier when the -ber months are well underway.
