    I choose to see what’s right, what’s pure, what’s good, what’s just and what’s praiseworthy. I choose what I need to see - beyond this vanity, beyond this form of reality.

    OK, so I decided to sleep early a few hours ago.  Then, just now, as I woke up for a while to make a quick check on my Twitter account (@iam_mayo), I received this new notification via my Twitter Interaction Board (check out the photo and read carefully). So… if my eyes are serving me well, it’s telling me quite clearly that I just got nominated for Best Music on YouTube Category for Globe Tattoo Awards 2013. Hmmm. Was it a spam or not? I double checked it. I was like, “Hmmm. Really now?” Hahaha. Seems legit, I guess. :P Please kindly help me out in confirming it by checking it out yourself. ;)  Well, if anything, if this is, indeed, true - then boys and girls - YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO: http://www.tattawards2013.com/ | http://youtu.be/8_Nha8SBR64 Hooray for the Internet. Hahaha.  Peace Love Music & Respect! :D - MAYO | http://facebook.com/themayomusic

    The other night, Ely and I enthusiastically exchanged some presentations re our latest artistic endeavors; he brought me to his office and showed me some new stuff re his upcoming movie project (the details cannot be disclosed yet, but it will all be revealed in the proper time, don’t worry - the solid fans know about it - you can check out his FB page for more details, it’s very fun and exciting, actually), and after that I asked him to check out and listen to some of the new mixes + master tracks of my soon-to-be-released album/new record.  I must say that it was definitely one of the most happiest and most fulfilling experiences I’ve ever had in my life as an artist and a musician. This is actually my 2nd time that an Eraserhead listened to some of my new songs (the other one, was Marcus Adoro, wherein I made him listen to my 1st EP, “Middle Class Sensibilities”, way back in 2009). That was awesome, too; Makoy was very encouraging, fun, and helpful. He had so much insight on how to make a song and a particular riff sound right and feel like.  This time around, it was Ely, in his house, inside his magical office where ideas and dreams come to life.  Man, I tell you, it was really fun, inasmuch as it was also quite surreal. Imagine: one of my musical heroes, being patient and kind enough to sit through some of my songs, and actually finish every single one of them. That was very kind of him, really. He would completely get what I was trying to do in a particular part, and we would laugh at some of the lines in some of the songs. Actually, the stuff he showed me re his upcoming movie was really awesome, too; the music was really dope, man. Dopest of dope, man. This man never fails to surprise me. He’s a genius! I couldn’t believe he could pull off something like that. And, I mean, why should I wonder, anyway? He is who he is: a Living Legend. Hehe. Anyway, it had bits and pieces that I really liked and dig. Some of them rooting back to the golden age of rock n’ roll plus some movie references. It can’t be helped, man; the guy loves the movies a lot, just as much as I do and some of my movie geek friends. There were moments wherein I’d go, “Aha! I know where you nicked that little bit - that is so cool, you made it into this whole new thing!” And we would have a little laugh. The attitude towards it is very punk rock. He also knew in which parts of my songs I nicked from one of my influences, and we would both laugh and agree with it. I guess it’s in the folk-rock tradition, see, it goes way back; you trace down what music your heroes turned themselves on to, and then you’d go through their influences, too. And then, eventually, as you bask yourself into these wonderful pieces of music, you then try to incorporate them in your work and then completely re-arrange, re-create, get energy from, and totally bend it into a new form and make it your very own. It’s just like what Elvis, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, BB King, and Bob Dylan did. And while doing this, they all tried to look forward and innovate their craft. As one author had put it aptly, “All art is love and theft”. And to me, in many ways, I find that a good thing. A very good thing. Especially when it’s done right. And to add something original and very foreign to its basic elements, the better. Anyway, as I was saying, we would kind of dissect the subtext and context of each of our works. And it was - for me, at most - very educational, creatively nurturing and artistically reaffirming.  In the end of that short yet productive meeting (or chit-chat, or discussion, if you will - name it the way you view it), Ely said that he really liked the songs that I made. And to me, that was very fulfilling for me to hear. From a man who knows how to create really good and original Filipino art (with a world class and global appeal), that really meant a lot to me. Or maybe, he was just being kind. Was he? Ahahahaha! I dunno, he pretty made it clear to me, though, that he really meant it. And for me, that pretty much did it for me; that was really very awesome, to hear something like that from him. I could imagine now very clearly how Jack White may have felt jamming with The Rolling Stones, or how Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen would feel singing music with Bob Dylan, or on how John Mayer felt when he shared his songs to Eric Clapton, and on how any one from The Beatles felt as they were given a chance to jam with their greatest rock n’ roll heroes: Elvis, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Roy Orbison. The Greatest of Greats, man. The list, is pretty much endless. There’s no denying it. Just as Lennon got inspired by Elvis, or as Ely was somewhat inspired by The Beatles and Bowie, the same goes for me: as Ely was one of the main reasons why I wanted to rock out and pick up the guitar to play rock n’ roll. I mean, that’s the bottomline of it all, isn’t it? The Eraserheads even came first in my life, a few years early before I formally encountered The Beatles in my audio list. And the rest, for me, was history. I do not have a picture of that moment, though, me and Ely sharing our art and music.  However, I was able to approximately render everything through a simple sketch that I made just a while ago. As far as I can reckon and remember, this is how (I think) we looked like while all of that was happening. Yup, that’s the story for now, folks. I just wanted to share it to you. Believe in the Dream! Believe in Love! Believe in the Divine Call from within you. It’s all yours for the taking.  Go, and make it happen! ;) Thank you, Lord! Blessings to all of you!  Peace Love Music & Respect! Shine on, Universe! :) - MAYO, 5/17/2013

    ;)

    Believe in the Dream. Believe in Love. Believe in the Divine Call from within. It’s all yours for the taking. 

    Life can be hard. It can be downright unfair, and at times, very unforgiving. It can be taxing, it will be relentless, and sometimes very deceiving.

    But in all of this, still, keep aiming for the Truth. Keep embracing the Good. For if you remain in these things, they shall be permanent fixtures in your life. 

    You will get tired along the way. You will be a bit jaded. 

    But if you don’t give up, you will actually make it. Just keep at it. Eventually, you shall be it.

    Keep on! Strive on! And in everything, keep a healthy sense of humor. 

    You’ll be needing a lot of it. 

    Go! Do it! Live it! God be with us always.

    Blessings!

    May 13, 2013. 11:48AM @ Precinct 0667A, somewhere in Tarlac City, PH.  Finally, I got to vote already. I’m proud to say that I pretty much made the right choices during the entire time of my voting. And as a Filipino citizen, it was a great honor to be involved in such an important event. Biruin mo, you have the power to choose, nominate and elect a person who will be managing your country (or, at the very least, you can help impede the votes of the ones who are apparently politically corrupt by choosing someone other than them)! I love the list that I made, and I’m completely fine with it. I did my part already. Si Lord na ang bahala sa lahat. And, just to clear it all out: ‘yung mga taong nagmudmod sa basket ng bike ko ng mga flyers ng mga mukha ng mga pulitikong iyan - just a few minutes before I got to vote -  tinandaan kong mabuti ‘yung mga pagmumukha ng mga kriminal na ‘yon na nakalagay sa mga flyers, and I swore to myself na hindi ko talaga sila iboboto. Sorry guys, pero hindi ko kayo masikmurang iboto. I told these kids, and even those elderly people who were shoving these lists and flyers to my face, that they should be ashamed of themselves. Sabi ko, kung parati nalang ganyan ang ipapangyari nila sa sarili nila at sa kapaligiran nila eh wala na talagang mararating na matinong lagay ang ating Bayan. Sinabi ko sa kanila na sila ang dahilan bakit nakakahiya ang pulitika sa ating bansa. I told them to wisen up and to grow out of it all; kumbaga eh magbago na talaga sila. And yeah, pati ‘yung mga last minute na pulitiko na nangampanya pa today dito sa FB, sa Twitter, sa spammy texts at sa mga gilid-gilid pa ng pamayanan, sorry folks, pero hindi ko rin talaga kayo iboboto. Sorry nalang kayo. Grabe naman kayo. Ano kayo, sinisuwerte? Kung ngayon pa lang eh kaya niyo ng lumabag sa batas na inukol sa inyo ng COMELEC, papano pa kaya kapag naupo na kayo sa puwesto? O, ano, ‘di ba? Tsk tsk tsk. Hmmmmmm. Hahaha. Kayo, ha. Halatado kayo masyado. Ang kagarapalan ninyo ay wagas. *wink* And lastly, ‘yung mga flyers ninyo na pakalat-kalat sa daan today - ‘yung mga nakakalat sa mga presinto na sa sobrang dami eh nagtilang basurahan na ang kapaligiran, sorry naman kung dinaanan ko lang sila. Sorry kung habang naglalakad ako eh natapakan ko ‘yung mga pagmumukha niyo sa flyers. I didn’t mean to, I mean, really, hindi ko talaga sinasadya. Pero kasi, naman eh, hindi ko kayo maiwasan eh - nakaharang talaga ang mga pagmumukha niyo sa daan, wala akong madaanan. Sana inisip niyo man lang ‘yung mga punong pinutol na ginawang mga papel, para i-imprenta lamang ang mga mukha ninyo sa mga flyers na ‘yon. Sayang ‘yung mga papel. Nagamit pa sana sila para sa notebook at mga pad paper na gagamitin ng mga kabataan sa darating na pasukan. O ‘di ba. Sana naisip niyo ‘yon. Baka naidagdag niyo pa ‘yung mga school supplies na iyon sa mga “give-away-campaign-gimmicks” ninyo. *SIGH* Oh well. Wala eh. Hehe. ;) Tandaan niyo, mga pulitiko: THIS SEASON (to be jolly) NOT ABOUT YOU. It’s NOT about YOU; it’s about what YOU CAN DO for this country, and WHY we should actually BELIEVE you that you will be ABLE to do what you have promised/set out to do. You politicians were NEVER celebrities in the first place, but PUBLIC SERVANTS. Any other way in which you represent yourself contradictory to your true nature and job description is purely irrelevant and void. Kokonti nalang talaga ngayon ang mga may tunay na malasakit para sa ating Bayan. At kung sinuman ang mga iyon, kilala ninyo ang mga sarili ninyo. Mabuhay kayong lahat. I went for the real deal. I went for the ones whom I believe have a healthy damn about this country. I went for the ones who went really well with my conscience. I can confidently say that I voted wisely. Kaya naman, mga kababayan ko! Nasa sa atin ang kinabukasan ng bansang ito! Go out now and vote wisely!  God be with us all. Mabuhay ang Bansang Pilipinas! - MAYO, 5/13/2013

    PHILIPPINES, UNITE!!!: On May 13, 2013, VOTE WISELY. \m/,

    Iboboto ko ‘yung ‘di masyadong kilala pero malinaw sa’kin ‘yung platamorma niya. Iboboto ko ‘yung walang masyadong budget sa pangangampanya, dahil alam ko ‘di malaki nanakawin niya ‘pag naupo siya sa puwesto (pambawi sa lahat ng gastos sa pangangampanya). Iboboto ko ‘yung okay ang track record at nakikita ang resulta ng mga pinlano niya. Iboboto ko ‘yung ‘di lagi lumalabas sa TV; ‘yung mga lumalabas sa TV malaki nanakawin no’n sa kaban ng masa. Mahal kaya lumabas sa TV. Iboboto ko ‘yung hindi nagme-megaphone ‘yung mobile ads niya sa gitna ng daan, na siyang nakakapag-cause ng malubhang traffic sa daan. ‘Pag mas douchey, mas baduy at mas cringe-y ang dating ng jingle niya, mas ‘di ko iboboto. Ang masakit pa, nag-aarkila pa siya ng mga wang-wang at mga taong nasa scooter bikes na may lobo at bumubusina pa ang mga ito ng todo hanggang marindi ang tenga mo - as if sinasabi, “Huy, masa! Tignan niyo - ang pag-asa ng Bayan! Una siya sa puso niyo. Ramdam niya kayo!”. Hahaha. Mukha mo. Hindi ko iboboto ang mga gano’n. Iboboto ko ‘yung hindi minumudmod ang mukha niya sa lahat ng sulok ng Pilipinas thru posters, internet, mobile ads, TV and radio; napaka-banidoso naman niya at napakaraming pera sa pangangampanya - sila ang dapat katakutan dahil ‘pag naupo ‘yang mga iyan, kinikilig iyan na kamkamin ang pera ng masa. Hindi ako boboto ng pasimpleng magnanakaw. Iboboto ko ‘yung mukhang may masidhing malasakit sa ating Bayan. Iboboto ko ‘yung hindi trying hard magpa-cool sa ads niya. Mas ‘di niya bagay ‘yung pakulo niya, mas trying-hard to please the masses, mas pa-cute at papogi, mas hindi ko iboboto. O ‘di ba. I have the power to do that. You have the power to do that. ‘Wag tayo pasilaw sa mga iyan. Iboboto ko ‘yung ‘di namimigay ng relief goods, iPhone, cellphones, pabahay, etc. sa oras mismo ng pangangampanya, pero ‘di mo ramdam ‘pag nakaupo na. Sino’ng niloko niyo, ‘di ba. Iboboto ko ‘yung mga taong alam mong may takot sa Diyos. Iboboto ko ‘yung ok ‘yung pamilya niya; dahil ‘pag alam niyang i-manage family niya, eh most likely kaya niyang i-manage ang Bayan. Iboboto ko ‘yung simple lang, hindi nangangako thru big words (Wow, “BIG WORDS”!). Iboboto ko ‘yung palagay ang loob ko sa kanya; ‘yung pag nakikita ko ‘yung mukha niya o naririnig ko ‘yung plano niya sa masa, ‘yung hindi ko siya feel sapakin at tadjakan sa mukha. Karamihan kasi ng mga pulitiko dito mga sinungaling at mapag-balat kayo; ‘di ko sila maatim, ‘di ko matagalan, ‘di ko mapaniwalaan. Parang may dumidikit na virus sa tabi ko ‘pag nakikita ko sila sa tabi-tabi. Iboboto ko ‘yung hindi pumapatay ng kapwa kandidato dahil gusto niya siya ‘yung manalo. Iboboto ko ‘yung hindi opisyal dati, at dahil sa pag-upo niya sa puwesto ay yumaman siya ng todo at nagkakaroon siya ng mga Pajero, Fortuner, Hotel, mansion, business entities, etc. Iboboto ko ‘yung Pilipinong magsisilbi ng taos sa kapwa Pilipino. Iboboto ko ‘yung mapagkakatiwalaan ko.

    Sa Lunes, May 13, asa kamay natin ang kapangyarihan para pumili ng tama. 

    Ikaw, ako: bumoto tayo ng maayos. - MAYO

    Mixing + Mastering Day # 6. May 8, 2013. Point Bee Multimedia. Got to even hear Sunday Radio’s rough mixes. They’re a band. And they’re pretty good. Search ‘em out. Even tried that Brazilian percussion thing Aaron showed me. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. :D Thank you, Aaron Gonzales! Alright. :) - MAYO | http://facebook.com/themayomusic
