Music and Madness

Music is an art form. We express our feelings through music. When we are depressed, stressed or heart-broken, we listen to music. It relaxes us, it heals us. 

Recent studies show that music is also being used for therapy. Yes, music therapy for people with psychiatric disorders. Music has been used in psychosis and neurosis and now is being used in addressing organic disorders such as dementia.  In some psychiatric facilities abroad, they use this method called "Background Music Therapy" in which they let their patients listen to the same songs over and over again within 5 to 8 hours period. These songs, according to their observation, helps create a calm environment for their patients. 

Because I have a philanthropic heart, I am thinking of submitting one of my "best" karaoke performances ever to be used as "Background Music Therapy". Hehe.

Want to hear it? 

Sure, go ahead.

Let me know how it made you feel afterwards, okay? Because if I get good reviews about it, I just might send this to one of those big psychiatric facilities in the US as an act of good will. Hahaha.

Random Thoughts

xx I pulled the trigger today. Like a gunshot wound to the head, I feel numb, lifeless, indifferent. I killed it while it was still beautiful. Sometimes it doesn't need major planning. I did it, just like that. No ready scripts, no prepared speeches. I need a bottle of vodka.

xx No, I'm not depressed. Just a bit sad. I need a bit of a boost. So what's a woman to do? Get a haircut. My hair's short but I had it cut even shorter, this time with bangs. Haha, yes bangs. I look barely legal (and undeniably stupid). Haha!

xx I have a homework in school that is due to be submitted tonight but I can't login to our website. Gaddemit! It keeps redirecting back to the same screen. Why oh why?

xx Had Sunday lunch with the whole caboodle. I don't know if it's Sinigang or Nilaga that mom cooked but it tasted real good. It's not too sour to be classified as Sinigang, and not too Nilaga-ey either. Hahaha! I'll just call it Sini-ga. Problem solved.

xx I just had a random thought today that If I were to have a girl for a child, I'd name her Francesca. Cute-sy name, right? :)

xx I'm not in the mood to work tonight. I just want to sleep and dream happy thoughts.

xx My favorite male blogger, hands (pants) down, is mungoconspiracy.blogspot.com. My favorite gay blogger is baklangcockroach.blogspot.com. My alltime fave woman blogger? Tinatanong pa ba yun? Hahahaha! :p Visit their blogs and be entertained.

xx My sister, when she gets shocked or surprised, always says "Ay k!k! mo..." I remember one time when she suddenly dropped her cellphone, she shouted "Ay k!k! mo nahulog!". LOL. Good thing I was wearing undies that day so I knew it's not mine. Hehe.

xx I just don't feel like making a proper blogpost tonight. Masarap ren pala sometimes to blog in bullets. Hehe.


Un-purely yours,

Andre's Happy Battle

I rented a place in Pasig (near the motels.. hehe) a couple of years back when I used to work in Eastwood. I have become friends with my landlady and her family. I still keep in touch with them once in awhile. Lately, I got news that their son, Andre, has acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Andre is a very charming 7-years old boy. He is now 10 weeks into his treatment and he will undergo extensive, daily chemotherapy sessions starting next week.


Andre's a very brave kid. You can see him smiling all the time despite the cancer. Like typical boys his age, he likes Toy Story, Spongebob and Plants vs. Zombies. :) He is a very happy and bright kid and he is in need of blood. Any type will do.


To anyone who wants to donate blood, please go to  Philippine Children's Medical Center in Quezon Avenue and tell them that you are donating blood for Andre Armea. PCMC is open from Monday to Sunday 8am to 5pm.

Thanks in advance.

Contact details of Andre's parents:
Rachelle Armea - 0917 245 0620
Carlos Armea - 0926 701 2995

All Because of You

Dark days become sunny
Frigid days become warm,
Rainy days become cloudless
And lightning got wiped away from the storm.

Oceans sing,
Rocks cry out,
Mountains roar,
And tree branches shout.

The stars fall
Right out of the sky.
The moon winks
And the sun went dry.

All because you said one thing
All because you said it true
All because you made me smile
All because you said I love you.
