Another Song Downolad!

Just two days before I head to Sicily (for 3 weeks)! I had the song 'Libbisna Bil-Qawwa' translated into Italian (thanks to Clare and Dr John) and recorded it as there will be a dance to the song during the outreach...

Studio Days!

I love being in the recording studio... I spent a busy day in the studio recording a song for Malta's next Pro-Life (anti-abortion) campaign today. Yesterday we completed the live drums, today we went through the guitars and bass. The song is coming out great!! We will just have to wait and see how it will turn out. It should be on the local radios this summer. Please pray for this project!!

Festival!

I am shaking to the bones as I prepare to sing at a festival tonight in 'Pretty Bay' Birzebbugia (at 9:00pm). I so believe that I was born to worship, but certainly not to perform!!! Aaaaaghhhh!! Lord help me!! I will go to sing to my Audience of One!!

Ok... I am writing this after the festival >>> It went great... I so love working with teens. This festival was organized by ZAK (Youth of Catholic Action). They are a fantastic, enthusiastic youth group who put up a fantastic night (weekend rather) of musicals, dance and .... music to raise funds for their youth centre! I wish them the very best of luck!!

Graduated!

I just got the results of my Degree in Sacred Theology (and Philosophy)... I passed!!! This is my second degree (the other being in commerce/business and economics) All glory to God! ...Believe me... I could have not done it without Him!!

More Singing!

I love home-recording! Spent most of the day in my room recording a new song I wrote this morning. They do not turn out professional, but a good demo of the song... plus I am momentarily limited to vocals (voice) and guitar (no piano and orchestration!!). I will be singing in B'Bugia over the weekend at a festival, and will be in a recording studio recording a new song all of next week. Lovely!!!

A Great Song

I recently bought two new awesome CD's. I buy MANY CD's though it is not often that I just cannot stop listening to one particular album. Paul Baloche's latest album has won my constant attention!! An inspiring production!

I'll be flying to Sicily later on this month for a few weeks... Should be fun!

Terrestrial Glories!

Had a late night yesterday. My two close friends Kevin and Leana (the woman who sings with me in most of my songs) got married last night. I sang at their wedding, and though I was more tense than the groom at the wedding;) but all went well thank God!!

Tonight the world will be watching the final of the
Fifa World Cup (France vs Italy)... I wonder who will win! I had a relaxing few days going round Gozo, Comino and Malta. I hope to get some pics up soon!

Weddings, Recording and More

What a crazy, crazy, but fantastic week!!! I played at in inter-religious wedding, led an adoration, spent a day experementing with home recording and have spent quite some time with my newly-married friends and their 3-month-old baby. This Saturday I will be the witness for my friend's wedding and singing at the mass too (all this in a penguin suit;).

I will also be heading off to Sicily at the end of the month with Marana Tha' Community (a Catholic Charismatic Group).

Great Things

Alot of exciting things have happened lately. I just came back from the ordination of 7 new priests, most of which are very good friends of mine. It's just so amazing to think that they are now priests!! Also, my buddy Mark, his wife and baby have arrived from America... and today I got the job I needed for the next few months!

All a Prayer!

What a busy day! I spent the morning catching up with some errands, then went to Mellieha to swim with a group of youth. After that I had a bar-b-q on the other side of the island. I am now preparing and praying for a few studio recordings, weddings, adoration and talks - all in the very near future. As time goes by I realise more and more that, without prayer there is nothing worth doing!

Home at Last!

Exams are over, seminary is out and I'm at home laying back, chilling out, watching the World Cup and unpacking. I spent the morning packing my stuff and unpacking them here at home. I still have a looooooong way to go! It's just so amazing how things pile up; I had no idea I owned this much stuff (i.e. rubbish!)!...so many boxes!!

Notes, Books and more Notes!!

It's been a few days since my last post... but I guess you can't really blame me!... I've been covered in notes on logic, philosophy, theology and other mind-boggling subjects over the last few weeks and will continue to be so till next Monday. The seminary is kinda' quiet now... as only 5 seminarians are here - the rest are on a well-deserved summer holiday! 5 of us decided to remain here till exams are over - on Monday though, ;) ;) ... I will officially begin my intermediate year outside the seminary!!

Planning Ahead!

My second final (exam) over, and 2 to go! The next two exams will be on philosophy... (last two were theology). Apart from that... some good news >> another of my songs has been chosen for a conference in Seattle USA.

Also on my agenda;)... in between studies I have been busy planning the next year - I am hoping to work abroad for the major part of it! I also have a few song recordings in the near future too! I'll just have to see how it all develops.
