I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are

Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her to a place
Give her faith so she'll be safe

Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

Music Band Manila

The ease of Latin music is obvious whenever performed, and singing one is like shooting the breeze with somebody without a strain from the voice. It is like reading a note or poetry with just the feel of what it passes on. It is safe performance for theatrics are not called for.
The quality it requires is just voice control, and that's it. You are on a way to entertain guests.

BEING A GRANDFATHER

Posted by Mario Lupato on Saturday, July 20, 2013, In : INFORMATION 
The happy feeling seeing a grandson grows and develops is treasure even the hardships felt rearing one ached my bones and stole time. Still, even a minor improvement is monumental. Every act my grandson  does is etched on mind and kept finding ways to let him find the joy of being innocent even at a tender age of a year and two months. But amazingly, he tricks me and his grandma to get attention, especially for his grandma.

I have to make sure that he grows properly with the guidance of his p...

WHAT DISTURBS MUSICIANS

Posted by Mario Lupato on Saturday, July 20, 2013, In : INFORMATION 
Unfair comment as blame from someone's is heart-tearing knowing you did the best for a performance but people who find the slightest fault make them joyous. It happened to us for the second time and I accept the blame for sending performers for one of my schedules knowing not fully the music head of the group. I based my trust being a musician myself.

I learned a great lesson from this and promised not to sacrifice quality of what we have kept from performances, even I needed the moolah out of...

The travel was long, the visit was short but the spirit lasts. That was an opportune moment of March 16, 2013 at the Kamay ni Jesus Grotto in Lukban, Quezon. It was a spiritual journey with Manong Joe and Manong Lito who had their spirits high as they climbed the 300 stairs to the top where a huge image of Jesus with majestically proffered hands.

WEDDING CHURCH SONG - AUGUSTINE MUSIC

Posted by Mario Lupato on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, In : WEDDING SONGS AND MUSIC 
A wedding song applies always for the ceremony through the reception but careful choices are required during the wedding ceremony especially for a Catholic church wedding. It is required that only liturgical song or music is performed.

An offertory song has to be short and meaningful. The sacredness is felt when proper choice is made with a rendition by wedding musicians and a wedding singer interpreting the message.

A Wedding Reception at Sala Filipina

Posted by Mario Lupato on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, In : WEDDINGS 
The wedding reception was scheduled for 5 pm but guests arrived past 6 pm slowly filling the hall of Sala Filipina that can accommodate 200 guests. Typically, the hall is Hispanic  reminiscent of the Spanish era perfect for a romantic theme without much flair to flaunt. Just the photographic setting speaks volume. 

The music by a versatile pianist and competent singer despite the average sound system added casual classic performance. Sometimes, that happens but being a trouper, we make do what...

WEDDING SINGER VIEW ON INTERPRETATION

Posted by Mario Lupato on Saturday, July 28, 2012, In : INFORMATION 
Interpreting a song by a singer or by a wedding singer or any event singer requires a certain style of your own. It might be copied but a twist here and there makes it different. There are songs that are effective through simplicity and some needs a little imagination. Singing is not just carrying a tune or shouting it thinking it is the best way like the karaoke singers do. It hurts the ears, sad to say but most do this way. 

Singing is expressing your soul and the good it comes out is like s...

Wedding Coordinator's Travail - Augustine Music and Events

Posted by Mario Lupato on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, In : WEDDINGS 

As a wedding coordinator, it's imperative to consider time management and going to attend the job earlier than expected reduces stress for both bride and the wedding planner.

It reserves you ample space to do the bidding for accomplished planning and implementation of what's needed. And there you are, the expert wedding coord...

POPULAR WEDDING SONG - THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

Posted by Mario Lupato on Tuesday, November 15, 2011, In : WEDDING SONGS AND MUSIC 

THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

Some day, when I’m awfully low,

When the world is cold,

I will feel a glow just thinking of you

And the way you look tonight.


You’re lovely, with your smile so warm

And your cheeks so soft,

There is nothing for me but to love you,

And the way you look tonight.


With each word your tenderness grows,

Tearing my fear apart...

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,

It touches my foolish heart.


Lovely ... never, ever change.

Keep that breathless charm.

Won’t you please arrange it? ...

Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth wi...

The magic of hand crafts piece from a musician

To share the legal beauty of music for someone

Who appreciates the dazzling score at hand

 

Everyday I hear the sound of wonderland

Repeating the rhyme from a wedding music band

With eyes closed feeling the easy beat as it runs

Leading me to dreamland

 

Ah, such anxiety’s gone

From the touch of an artist’s brand

Even sleepily as he strands

But the joy of passion is never bl...

Few more days, my friend is your wedding

The music in your ears afloating

I know you’ve chosen a wedding song so caring

That speaks about you upon learning

 

Your love one is there to feel

As I fashion preparations like a growing tree

 

Don’t worry I always say

Rely the power of a friend as both pray

Sincerely, I am proud to say

We’ll do right as I stay

By smaller we go on

Searching the right what I believe is born

Yes, it is open as brought

The beauty of a plan it seems like oath

 

Few more days and everything set

WEDDINGS AND BEYOND DIARY by AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS

Posted by Mario Lupato on Monday, May 9, 2011, In : AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS 

The very first thing that caught my awe was the warm accommodation granted by the personnel of Weddings and Beyond during the ingress of suppliers a night prior to the bridal exhibit that began past 9 in the evening. They were distinguishable in their rose color uniforms matching the smiles on their faces that made us comfortable despite the heat felt at the PICC forum. Comparably speaking, the last bridal fair I joined with didn't match a certain character even their name bloats in the air.

SOUL SINGING - AN ULTIMATE INTERPRETATION

Posted by Mario Lupato on Monday, February 7, 2011, In : WEDDINGS 

When someone carries a tune, he or she says I am a singer not giving much thought how the interpretation affects listeners. Almost all can sing and really love the art but the real passion doesn't come to play. There are those who are gifted with good voices and what needs is honing but there are more who like to sing just to express.

KOREAN-CHINESE CHRISTIAN WEDDING

Posted by Mario Lupato on Wednesday, February 2, 2011, In : WEDDINGS

The female principal witnesses were dressed in maroon gown and others in light royal blue looking like Imperial Queens. Their counterparts – male principal sponsors and almost all male guests were in coat.


Before the ceremony began, we...

INTERNET IS NEXT TO GOD?

Posted by Mario Lupato on Saturday, January 29, 2011, In : INFORMATION 

I came across an article mentioning that Internet is God and I was intrigued upon that bold statement and in response, this is my claim. I can say my honest disclosure.


Everything that is good comes from God and disputing this is likened to a devil trying to confuse the rest but still good triumphs over bad. That God is everywhere like the ether is to the internet. It's difficult to explain existence but there you are enjoying what is shared asking not how it is given. You just accept beca...
