kain sa jollibee

How do each of you listen to a piece of music? Do you emphasize voicing, percussion, harmony, etc?

It depends entirely on why you are listening to it. if it's a song that we have to study,then of course i'll pay attention to the parts that i'll have to do/recreate.

But if it's only for the sake of listening i wouldn't be inclined to pay attention to any particular part of the song. In my opinion it's better to take the song as a whole.

Sa mga ganitong bagay " don't think! Feel!"

If given a million pesos to spend each, what'll you buy?

If you could spend an isolated island trip w/ a celebrity of choice, who'd it be?

What for you is the most important issue of the times (human rights, women's rights, Iraq war, medical research for cancer, etc.)?

Life is all about finding true happiness, finding God in everything and everyone. All the rest are just different manifestations of this search. Ultimately we do what we do to find it.

What's the worst thing that could possibly happen to you? The best?
