Updated! 04/18/09

I've updated my website recently
here are the few changes:

- New Web hosting provider
My previous web server is good but there are times that the server is down and my website can't be accessed. I realized that I should move my website to another website provider. I decided to put it on www.freewebhostingarea.com

- New Background music
Well, my previous background music is in MIDI file that's why it sounded like your listening to an AMR cellphone ring tone. I've decided to make it in MP3 and put the music of Slipknot which is People = Shit. I know I'll kick ass! Hahaha
You'll be expecting a lot of changes in the next few weeks

Here is as follows:
New Tabs:
- Videos
- Music Playlist
New Services
- Ragnarok Bot Service page

See you in the near future!

A Blossomed Flower: Marit Larsen


I really admit that I became an avid fan of M2M during my childhood. During those times, Pop music is really hot. Almost everywhere you go you can hear the music of Westlife, A1, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Linkin Park, and of course M2M. I think I somehow feel ashamed that I've been listening to those kind of music even though I am certified rock music lover. But I think that's part of life. It's one thing that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Marit Elizabeth Larsen is the light-haired of the Norwegian duo M2M. When she's still in M2M, she played the guitar. When I found out that Marit had become a solo artist, I searched the web all about her and her career. I even downloaded her songs in Limewire. I must say that her kind of music had changed. When I watched her video "Under the Surface", I was shocked to know that she knows how to play the piano. I thought it was only Marion Raven(her partner in M2M) who plays piano. That was kind of intriguing to me. Did Marion taught Marit how to play the Piano? Or did she enrolled in piano lessons? When I saw her profile in the internet. I learned that Marit was born in a music oriented family. If I can still remember what I read, Marit's mother was a Cielo player and her father is a violinist. When she was six, she learned how to play the piano. I heard from some source that she was the one who taught Marion in playing piano during their childhood. Before they became M2M, Marit was to choose which instrument will she be using. Because Marion doesn't know how to play the guitar, it would be likely that Marit would be the one playing it and Marion will play piano. During the height of their career, they really become very famous especially here in the Philippines. But suddenly their record company drop them due to low album sales in the US despite it's high sales in Asia and Europe. That's when they decided to split up. Marion became a solo artist and her genre became rock. During those times, Marit continued her studies and later on 2006, she decided to come back to the music industry. She has a natural born musician blood flowing in her veins and during her studies, she still composes songs. Later on EMI records ask her if she wanted to be a solo artist and later that year she released "Under the Surface". I must say that her first debut album is brilliant. I've been listening to her songs for a while now and I can say that her voice and lyrics makes me feel happy that I'm alive. Last October 2008, she released her 2nd album entitled "The Chase". I'm quite impressed! The songs in that album is really great. She said that she had lots of written songs and she hand picked the songs that she wanted to be in her two albums that's why it is that good. I haven't got all of her songs because her album was only released in Norway and other parts of Europe. But I'm doing my best to find it and listen to good music that makes me feel better rather than listen to hardcore rock music all the way.

And she has done so with tremendous grace, without losing herself the way that so many artists who achieve success at a young age have done. What comes across both in her songs and in person is Marit’s remarkable honesty, her genuine warmth and the joy she takes in her music and her life. These also come across loud and clear to her audience each and every time she takes the stage. The crowd at every show knows that they are part of something special.

The shy, young girl with the great big talent has blossomed into a very rare flower, indeed. I hope Marit's career will continue to rise!

I Remember the Good Old Days

Marit Elizabeth Larsen(Left) and Marion Elise Ravn(Right) of M2M


During my OJT times, we are doing lots of new things to make our life in RAMCAR enjoyable. If you all know, me and my friends are all rock music lovers. Marvin "Vhino" Dandan likes Emo music, Donlevie Francisco likes Filipino-based rock bands, while me, I like listening to hard-core rock music. Almost everyday, we listen to those kinds of music and somehow we feel a bit bored. I found an idea to defeat boredom. I thought that, "What if we listen to our old music favorites?". Ideas came out and there were tons of suggestions. When I went home during weekends, I downloaded the music of Backstreet Boys, Westlife, and M2M. I know all of us can relate to that kind of music because it was really famous during our elementary to high school days.
When I came back to RAMCAR, they were all shocked. They couldn't believe that I was really gonna put those kinds of music to my cellphone. Later that week, instead of playing the music of Slipknot or Mudvayne, I began playing the songs of Backstreet Boys and M2M. What the hell? What happened to us? We are singing and dancing in our designated area all day long! Well of course we can't do it whenever our Foreman and Supervisor is around hehehe. I also discovered that Donlevie was also a die-hard fan of M2M when he was young. We talk a lot of things about M2M. He even told me that he bought he went all the way to Eat Bulaga to watch them perform and even bought an original copy of M2M's album and waited for several hours to get their autograph at SM Megamall. Wow! He's a real fan of M2M. Well, I admit that I was also and M2M fan back then but I wasn't able to go to their gigs to see them perform live. I was a shy, young elementary student back then and I couldn't find anybody who can accompany me to go to their performances besides my sister who is younger than me (duh?). Donlevie even brought the original cassette tapes and video cd's to our dorm to prove to us that he's telling the truth. Oh my god! I really miss those times. I remember the good old days listening to good music of m2m, westlife, backstreet boys, a1, linkin park and a lot more. I think I somehow regret that I've been very addicted to listening to hard-core rock which sometimes give me an urge to hate everything in life and gave me senseless thoughts of violent deeds. At least now I realized that I should balance everything from my kinds of music, to everything I do in my life. From now on, in order for me not to be the kind of person which hard-core music wanted me to be, I now listen to Marit Larsen's songs which are pleasant to the hear, a music that makes you feel good you are alive. Ehem... do you know her? I guess not, well she is the light-haired girl of the duo M2M. I really find her really pretty when I was a boy and until now, even if she's already 25, I think I still love her. I'll be posting something about her in my next post. See you all!
