How hast been I

It's been the longest time since I've been away from here. I haven't really done any writing recently and it makes me fidgety at times. I try to write lyrics of some song in my head in a piece of paper pretending them to be mine. I kinda wanted to write about my thoughts on my recent marriage. It's one of the best times of my life and I want to write about it. Well, I'll get to it sometime...

It's been what...?


Longest time, huh? I've been away from my favorite past time, talking to myself. I guess I haven't had the the time to talk to me since I've been having bad taste with me. Talk later, Self.

amp building

For the past few months I've been studying about basic electronics stuff especially the amplifier. I've been to a few guitars and amplifier forums over the interweb for my research and found tons of great things. The concept of this little study I made was try at least to amplify my banduria in case of, you know, accompanying the mass or something. I'm pretty tired of using mic-to-PA settings that don't go well because it isn't set to my instrument or some defect. So, I kind of took the step to build my own amplifier that is tuned to my instrument but of course it isn't that great at first considering the cost and the limited knowledge (being none) I have of electronics.

I looked around dozens of places trying to test the feasibility of this magnanimous (at least, for me) endeavor and I think it's doable. I read books for three months and it got me nowhere. The reason was that I can't test my knowledge just yet because I'm not building something or some other reason i can't think of, or because I have nothing to apply it to.

Well, as of this time, I've started my first build. I think it was worth the three months of reading at least ten 300+ page books. I feel confident (of course I'm lying!) that it will work. I'm such a newbie at this so don't expect great things to happen. I hope I don't get electrocuted. But I am not scared of anything at least you get ---cute-d---! :-p

I'll try to post pictures of my amplifier (working or not) on my next post.
