Which to buy? Boss GT 10-B or a cool Fender JAzz BAss? Hmm..

After 3 years, Fender Bass Models will be named after me.. haha! Just wait and see..

I'll be concentrating with my craft after I graduate..

If Jeff Schmidt can do it.. I can do it it too.. WOOHOO!!!

I've been sober these past few months. I kept thinking when will my time come - it's been 20 years and still counting..
As I was practicing the song You'll Come, the song itself is God's way of telling me just be patient Shannon.. It will come.  What can i say more? God said it, I believe it.. 

Habakkuk 2:3 (New International Version)

 ³ For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
       it speaks of the end
       and will not prove false.
       Though it linger, wait for it;
       it will certainly come and will not delay.

Help me to wait patiently on You, Lord.. give me the strength to endure the pain I'm feeling..

To not be distracted with what the world offers, but to place my Faith in You and seek You in everything I do..

I LOVE YOU LORD!!!

I have decided
I have resolved
To wait upon You Lord
My rock and Redeemer
Shield and reward
I'll wait upon You Lord

As surely as the sun will rise
You'll come to us
Certain as the dawn appears

You'll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us
Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You'll come
You'll come

We are not shaken
We are not moved
We wait upon You Lord
Mighty deliverer
Triumph and truth
We wait upon You Lord

As surely as the sun will rise
You'll come to us
Certain as Your word endures

You'll come
Let Your glory fall as You respond to us
Spirit rain
Flood into our thirsty hearts again
You'll come
You'll come

Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed

words for that night: bass legend.. (:

im gonna be the next jeff schmidt.. gotta maximize my time and practice bass everyday..
yea! o yea!! just wait and see..

reachin' the stars and making them mine..

I am a God-taught not self-taught bassist. I've been playing for a little more than 3 years. I also play acoustic guitar occasionally. God has blessed me immensely with my playing. He always puts people with more advanced skills in my path to help me learn. He's also given me an ear for music. I've learned a lot through watching videos and listening to music. I want Him to be glorified and I feel music is the way He's chosen for me.

I eat street foods most especially kwek2 and kikiam without my parent’s consent. There was this time when my 2 best buds in college would always eat kikiam after classes (sometimes between classes.. haha!) just outside the campus. Manong’s sauce are superb! No leftovers! I drink it all the way. That’s how delicious it is. (and dirty) After that semester full of kikiam, I somehow managed to get over the kikiam madness and didn’t eat another kikiam/kwek2 until now.

My first time to try pancit canton (instant noodles) was introduced by riz when we were in grade school. Calamansi flavored canton was my favorite merienda after class.

Every time I’m doing the dishes, observe my right foot. You’ll discover something new.

I have this bad characteristic. Whenever I have this intimate relationship with someone, I try to ignore them at some point. I won’t talk to them, and literally hide from them. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Can someone explain this? This happened when I was in grade school and until now I haven’t got the chance to bring back my best friend because of my weird attitude. I regret that day. Sigh.

I am a martyr. Whenever I fall for a person, I’d guard my heart from other boys. I’d wait (really really really really really wait) for that person until such time all these feelings would subside.  Then I realize he wasn’t really worth waiting for because I know he wouldn’t be mine.

I love selecta ice cream. i love the gold series. chocolate truffles is the best! woohoo! yumyumdiyumyum!

I can eat 5 hot pandesals every time I feel like eating breakfast.

Pork & beans with fried egg is one of my favorite fast track meals. yum!

I love noodles. nissin ramen & maruchan shrimp/beef flavors are on top of my list.

One of my hobbies includes gardening. Few people are gifted with what they call the "green thumb". It takes hours just to water my garden. I just love keeping plants & seeing them grow. ( 'cause I ain't growing up.. haha!)

I'm a pet lover. Before, we had this 5 hectare mango farm in San Juan, Batangas. Dad bought a carabao, cows, a horse whose name was "Princess", chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs, goats.. etc. I also experienced having lovebirds, mayna, maya-maya, owl, pigeon, quail, dogsssssssssssssssssssssss, guinea pigs, hamsterssssssss, and fish. I'm not fond of cats. I don't like 'em. My latest addiction would be the japanese koi. I was able to breed them.  Good thing my dad and I share the same hobby. It takes most of my time observing these wonderful creatures. Sometimes I put my feet in the pond & my kois will suck my toes. Doing this makes me laugh and ticklish. I just love my nishikigois. (:

I'm an extreme person. Whenever I feel like spending , I want to buy things without having the thought if I really need it. After purchasing that item, I'll get frustrated. To control my expulsive behavior, I always ask my dad's opinion and have a debate if that thing is worth every cent. If he says NO, then it's a NO. But whenever I feel like saving, I can save money beyond my expectations.

I'm a jack of all trades like my dad. (: I can repair electrical stuffs, gadgets, plumbing jobs, carpentry and the like. I learn these things by spending time with my dad, observing step by step how he does his tricks. One more thing I gotta learn is car repair. Thing is, my dad should buy me a car first. haha!

People envy my shiny, silky, straight, black hair. For the record, I just use any shampoo available in our house. I don't use any cream or apply any oil. It's what you call N-A-T-U-R-A-L. okie? I just go to the salon for trimming. No hair relax or rebond or whatsoever. weee! lucky me!!

I'm poor with directions. I get lost way too many times. countless indeed! haha!

I love speed. I love heights. I love adventure. I would love to try bungee jumping, walking in a hanging bridge about to fall, ride killer/thriller rides in all crazy theme parks. I would love that. G force is all I'm asking. Adrenaline rush baby!!!

I have tons of things in my mind. Problem is, I'm too lazy writing my thoughts in paper.

Usually I don't let people know a part of me. Nobody knows who I really am. including myself. weird!!!

Love stories makes me smile. Some of my favorite love story of all times includes " City of Angels" the part wherein the song Iris is played. A Lot like Love where Ashton plays his electric guitar and serenades the girl (sorry, i forgot the name..) & sang " ... these 5 words I swear to you.." Whats the title of that song again?

There came a time when I was addicted to boybands like westlife, backstreet boys, nsync.. I guess it's all part of teenage girls' life. Looking back, I'd just laugh my heart out.

Right now, I don't see myself married and having kids. Why? I just don't. All I want is to have a baby for reasons I do not know.

If ever I find that guy God reserved just for me & we got married, I want to have at least 7 kids. Well it depends on the situation of the economy.

I would love to be serenaded by Boyz2men. I just sooo love their songs. It takes my breath away.. *gasp

I am still thinking.. I’ll update this post soon.. whenever I have the chance..

Stay tuned!!
