My Latest DVD Collection From Fetch-A-Disc

By Elizar • Jan 26th, 2008 • Category: Hobbies, Movies, Music, The Beatles

Yesterday, I was out in Greenhills (then to Trinoma afterwards) hunting for the best priced Asus Eee PC, my mother sent and SMS saying that a package for me arrived at home (at 7:00am?!!).
I had a very good idea what that package was. Those are probably the DVDs I ordered from fetch-a-disc couple of […]



The U.S. vs. John Lennon

By Elizar • Jan 9th, 2008 • Category: Hobbies, The Beatles

From a Beatle who rocked the world to an idealist who shook America.
Last December 26, 2007 while visiting my in-laws in Sta. Rosa Laguna, I bought my latest addition to my Beatles collections - a VCD about John Lennon titled “The U.S. vs. John Lennon“.
The U.S. versus John Lennon is the story of one superstar’s […]

By Elizar • Dec 31st, 2007 • Category: Hobbies, TV

Perfect Strangers is one of my most favorite TV show of all time! I love it so much that I advise you to never, ever allow your children to see it! What ever happens, for the love of God, don’t let them watch this show…
Why? Your child might end just like me. I had trouble […]



The Beatles Killed Communism

By Elizar • Dec 29th, 2007 • Category: Hobbies

I’m quoting Milos Forman, a well-known film director when he said on “The Beatles: Revolution” TV special that:
“It sounds ridiculous but it’s not. I’m personally convinced that The Beatles are partly responsible directly for the fall of communism.”
The Beatles are so much ahead of their time in everything. They help define pop culture, they help […]



The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions

By Elizar • Dec 8th, 2007 • Category: Facts and Trivias, Hobbies, Music

The Complete Beatles Recording Session. I first saw this book in National Bookstore Cubao Branch.
I usually hang out the music section of the bookstores back in those days (up to now).
Anyway, the book was all torn out and was old looking. Many hands had already pass through the once shinny pages of that book.
It […]

Last night I got the things I bought from Ebay care of my brother who just got back from New York!

Cheap Keyboards, My Next Musical Instruments

By Elizar • Oct 6th, 2007 • Category: Business, Hobbies

A cheap, 2 octave keyboard is what I’ve been eying for some months now. This is both for personal use and for the soon-to-be Innerchild Amateur Band Rehearsal thing.
If you’ve been in any SM malls lately (at least a few months now) you’ll probably see those small stalls selling cheap guitars and electronic keyboards and […]
