I am coming back on since its a new year and I think I need to channel some of my ideas off my head. This post will be a trial post to see if the plugins work. If they don&#8217;t then I may have to decide to fix the site, remove wordpress and instead use the blogger service as my blog. That we will have to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot has happened during the past few years while I refrained from posting. After posting a political topic, I received a message from someone I do not know but seems legit. I perceived it as a threat to my life so I distanced myself online and became more private and security conscious. Then I just let all things pass. In the last year, I was faced with several challenges. The studio couldn&#8217;t recover after the pandemic as a lot of equipment had to be fixed or updated. My gigs became less common, which means I had to tighten the belt as finances became scarce. My dad died mid year of last year. And so I had to go to our home province every month to look after my mom. My wife had 2 operations. LapChole and Lazer to remove kidney stones in the ureter. And another procedure to remove the stent after 2 months.  I too had 3 eye operations in the later part of the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is in store for us now? I plan to do a lot of reviews of old albums especially those independent releases of indiepinoy. Most of them are still available on web stores and hopefully with a proper review we can promote them. I also plan to showcase what is happening around me. As well as new techie discoveries especially on the sound recording field. I also have to post some activities I missed to post like a couple of trips to Dubai for the Dubai Expo 2020.  And also the visual arts exhibit which I participated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all music lovers, I will also be writing about some music discoveries, especially 80s stuff for which I will be sharing as a continuation of my Search me series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these your have to watch out. So, stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I last posted on this blog.
