Music Therapy

Music therapy is one of the best outlets there is for stress and aggression. My husband and his son were having fun last Saturday. They were playing several songs with my husband on drums while his son on guitar. His Son, Ean is pretty talented. He played harmonica while playing guitar at the same time. Both of them are quite good on what they were doing. I was really amazed and entertained while I was sitting on the left side of my husband, listening to both of them. It was their kind of bonding with each other. They used to do this every Friday, (it was the first time that I was there) but lately, both of them had been extremely busy on each their own businesses.

The musical work of making music releases pent-up energy and emotions. Plus, it improves heart rate, blood pressure and the ability to sleep soundly- all which lessen the demands on your heart.

Your neighbor may not love your music, but your heart certainly will. Go on. Beat a drum. Blow a horn.

It Is About Time To Let Your Music Be Heard

I like watching “American Idol” very much. It is very inspiring to watch somebody’s dream came true. Back in the Philippines, we have our own version of this show and it is called, “Philippine Idol”. We also have the “Philippine Dream Academy”, which I liked very much. In the PDA (Philippine Dream Academy) they not only helped them show their talent in singing, but they also helped them improved on their talent in any areas of music industry such as; singing, playing of music instrument and in composing a song. The show really took the heart of most Filipinos that were regularly following it. We learned a lot from that show, too.

Talking about music industry, it is obvious that a lot of very talented aspiring artists, especially those music writers and composers failed on the competition, and one of them was because of poor personality. They want their music to be heard by the world . Well, if you are one of these people, rejoice! You don’t need to have an awesome personality anymore to be able to have your music be heard.

Jerrie Still Drums At 91 Years Old

Who says that old age will stop you from being productive especially in the world of entertainment? Jerrie Thill is a 91 years old female drummer/vocalist and she still rocks! Isn’t it amazing? Along with her oxygen tank, you can see the fiery and enthusiasm in her performance. Jerri has played with countless bands over the years starting in the 1940’s. Through the years she has attracted many fans but few realize what a remarkable musical career she has experienced during her lifetime. Her newest music video “Hey Jerri”, featuring with Allee Willis , outbursted on YouTube and became the 79th most viewed video in the world on its first day of release.

The music video “Hey Jerrie” is full of fun and is dedicated to Jerrie Thill herself. It shows that Jerrie Thill, 91 years old, still drumming after all these years. It is a collection of her past performances from early 40’s to the present time. This semi-animated music video stated how many years she has been in the world of entertainment and how she gradually changed physically. But one thing that didn’t change, it is her love in music, especially in drumming. If you feel down right now, watch this music video. It guarantees to bring smile both on your face and heart.

This post was supposedly my 100th post as I had planned few weeks already, but I feel that I ought to give appreciation to my fellow bloggers for their visit on my blog that is why I moved this post as my 101th post.

Door of Hope Ministry is reaching out the poor unreached children for Jesus Christ. We do this by inviting them to the Children’s Sunday School class. We are working in a community where God leads us. As of now there are two places in the Philippines. One is in Naga, south of Cebu and the second one is in Hinunangan, Southern Leyte.My hope and desire is to bring in as many children from various places to the Lord; teach them and expose them in the ways of God that when they grow up they may not depart from it.
HELP US RAISE GODLY CHILDREN FOR THEY ARE THE NEXT GENERATION. IT MATTERS A LOT.

Potter's Hand

Beautiful Lord, wonderful Savior
I know for sure, all of my days are
Held in Your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently call me into Your presence
Guiding me by Your holy spirit
Teach me Dear Lord
To live all of my life through Your eyes

I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart, I know You're drawing me
To Yourself, lead me Lord, I pray

Take me, mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's Hand

Call me, guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's Hand


Though it has been awhile that I know this song, but it refreshed on me this morning because this is the song we had in the church. I always like this song, especially the message itself.
