80% Voice

10:52 AM:October 9th, 2007 in Thoughts

I really like Aia de Leon (lead vocalist of Imago, which i also like as a whole). She's really pretty & the way she sings.. just to die for. A true crowd pleaser & I believe that a lot of people like her too. Anyway the title of this entry came from one of Zach's dialogue during one of their interviews. Zach said (when asked to describe Aia" .. "80% ng personality ni Aia ay Voice" (or thats how i remember it was said).

I bought their album Blush last year as a New Years gift to my self. I really like that album especially aia's vocals. All that "oohh oh oh" (Tara Lets) and oh ooh.. of.. ooh oh (Walang Mysteryo) I mean, enev if there are no lyrics, Aia can still convey the song through her vocals.

She really is one talent And the band is pure talent.

The following article is taken from Manila Bulletin Online

‘We sing from the heart’ — Imago

 

The "Imago," which launched recently its latest album, explained its process of composition, singing and recording.

Aia de Leon, the lead vocalist, mentioned five steps they always have to follow:

1. The lyrics and composition must come from the heart

2. Step out of your box

3. Challenge yourself

4. Be honest

5. Talk to people, listen to their stories.

The other members of the band are guitarist Tim Cacho, bassist Myrene Academia, and drummer Zach Lucero.

And why Imago? For the lack of any other name, explained Aia de Leon.

The album the band has just released is entitled IMAGO Blush under Universal Records.

Blush features the Imago’s bestseller single "Taralets." The other songs are "Zelo," "Lula," "Sundo," "Under Repair," "Highway," "Lights Out," "Last Dance," "Closer," "Walang Mysteryo," "So Be It," and "S.R.O."

Aia did not deny that they would polite quarrels now and then, but their bonding with one another always prevail.

Lead vocalist Aia de Leon wrote practically all their songs, and for which the band spoke of her:

"Thanks to the songwriting prowess of lead singer Aia de Leon, whose prismic vision brings us the versicolored shades of the noblest human emotions."

Their album, Blush, is described as "an entirely musical voyage, with a few pleasant sidetrips."

Blush "is the culmination of Imago’s first two artistic outings, the albums "Probably Not But Most Definitely" and "Take 2."

For these albums, they won Awit, Katha and NU107 Awards, including a Best Vocalist and Best Drummer trophies for Aia de Leon and Zach Lucero.

For their latest album, "the feelings are more intense and touching."

The band members are described as follows:

Aia de Leon — a poetess who takes her listeners beyond the realms of romance with soothing interpretation of her self-pennned songs.

Guitarist Tim Cacho — his sweeping guitar playing is oozing with appeal and genuine feelings complimenting Aia’s singing.

Bassist Myrene Academia — provides formidable musical foundation that Imago really needs, and

Zach Lucero’s technical proficiency on drums heightens all the emotions that each song in the Blush album conveys.

Citing one of their songs, Imago is indeed an S.R.O.

We got a new dog! Here he is...

 

 

He is named Choo-choo. He is an askal (like Taba & Ungos) but maybe he is of mixed breed. I don't know.

Speaking of breeds, aftre watching Animal Planet, I've finally found out Bulinggit's Breed. He is a Jack Russel Terrier (Kat B. was right all along, hehe).

ERROR! (Reprise)

09:50 AM:October 31st, 2007 in Thoughts

OK! This new template should work propoerly with most of the u[dated browsers (FIREFOX 2.0.0.8, IE7 & OPERA 9.24). You can download FREE updated versions of these browsers on the link provided at the side section.

 Whew! I really have to practice on this.

WOW! I've been using IE6 for months now & i developed my 'new' template by previewing it on IE 6. Just as i thought it was all ok, it wasn't displaying correctly on IE7 & FIREFOX!

 WAAAAAHHH!!!! DISASTER!!!!

so i have to revert to a tabulas template.

i really need to overhaul my old design & try to figure out the correct codes so it would display propoerly on ALL browsers..
