sometimes it's not music, it's life

when i was 9, i learn the guitar, with the help of my uncle. i was at grade 3, turning grade 4 to be precise. i believe, on that time i was not that good, until the school that i went was full of extra curricular activities, especially in music. i learned from the teachers there.

what happened at that time, until grade 6, i was the best student specially in music. i was a member of choir, drum and bugle core, tune bottle, rondalla etc.. i am the best drummer on that moment, good guitarist of a rondalla, i can play banduria, octavina and xylophone too, i play bass drum in that drum and bugle, but i can change instruments too, because i am versatile.

that elementary era was one of the best part of my life, i can say i am one of the best, if not the best, who ever step on that school. i was like a legend, on that school. being famous, some gurls will have a crush on you, you are liked by many teachers, but not all, all those stuffs.

i didnt stop playing the guitar, until i broke my guitar when i was in highschool. took a year or 2 off in guitar, later, my mother bought me a new one, a good guitar, my skills are still there, its in my blood to play, i believe. and so i play again.

when i reached college, i was like a reserve bass player on a university band. it's good for me, i can see and play guitar players who are better than me. it was a good experience, i have to go to the next level.

in the province, i work as a carwasher with a billiard on it, i run and take care of my classmates business. i wash car, talk to everyone, all those stuffs. until another classmate, come by and invited me to go to manila. and so i go, have a installer job slash /driver on that time.

i saw on the net, guitar lessons. i copy it, but with style and class, i have the guts, and experience on that i thunk. and so i teach.

after 6 years of my 11 years of teaching, a student want to learn ukulele. i know ukulele, but never played it before, and i say yes, i can teach you ukulele next week. bought a cheap one, and i start teaching ukulele.

after a while i join a contest online, winning $1,200 ukulele as the rank no.1 in ukulele-tabs.com [in the world] i might say, maybe i am good. now, i have 2, teaching guitar and ukulele.
